R. McLean, game warden. Due to the decrease in reve nue from the sale of fishing liscences in the past several years and the refusal of the legislature to sub sidize this phase of the work, the state department is greatly handi capped In its work in supplyihg the streams of . the state with fish. Hoke county has benefited great ly in the past from the work of this department. The streams of the county have been stocked by the Lakerim fishery on numerous occa sions and no pains have been spared In keeping the streams stocked and restocked in order that the sportsmen of the county may have the best possible fishing. “The only source of revenue to support this work is in the sale of fishing liscences,'^said Mr. McLean; "The legislature has not voted one penny to provide better fishing for the citizens of the state. The work has been carried bn in the thought that those who fished would want to do their part in carrying on the work by buying liscences. Of course the liscence is not necessary in ord er to iish in the county but it Is necessary for those who go' out of the county to fish. However, those who fish in the county are taking fish from the- streams and ponds and not making airy provision for keep ing up the quality of the tishing. It is not too much tp ask that all who fish regularly! should contribute the price of a liscence to the \,ork of the state fisheries, even though that liscence is not required of those who fish in the county.” '■According to Mr. McLean there have been three liscences puibhased in Hoke cpunty this year. This means a total contribution of si\ dollars and thirty cents toward the work which the state Is trying to do for fisbe’.men. There are about a dozen fisheries in the state which are ccnstantly supplying new stock for the streams and ponds. They are greatly handicapped by tlie lack of fuiidii. Hoke county fishermen who wish to have thteir part in the con servation and deveLopmeiir of the sport of fishing in than own coun ty may purchase liscences from the game warden or from liaeford Hard- v/are Company, it is urged that they he purchased, iC possible, before June 30th, since conditions in the work are now at a critical point.
