TURNER JEWELER Bj Tad Kestmg After more than 200 years of bloodletting and scalp-collecting most conservation experts agree that it’s a waste of money to set a price on the heads of foxes, coyotes, wolves, certain hawks and owls, weasels, crows, mountain lions and such as sorted villians. In fact there is increasing evidence that most of these are not villians at all, but are often beneficial except in isolated cases. Nevertheless, the bounty sys tem continues—principally be cause of two powerful factors: Pronounced public opinion, es pecially among hunters, in fa vor of bounties; and an unhap py know’edge possessed by con servation officials that some predators sometimes must be controlled somehow, even if the bounty system doesn’t seem to be the right method. According to Outdoor Writer Bill Wblf there isn’t any good, factual evidence to prove that bounties materially reduce predator populations, or ever have done so except in small, local areas. Nor is there any evidence that most of the ani mals and birds turned in for bounties wouldn’t have been killed anyhow by trappers, sportsmen and farmers. Michigan has had unhappy experiences with bounties. From 1869 to the present, it has paid more than $1% million in boun ties on wolves, coyotes and other animals—and the coyote has increased nicely, thank you. One of the few good things about the bounty system is that it is the hunters’ money going down the drain, not the gen eral taxpayers’. Predators have been quite happy under the Pennsylvania bounty system which started in 1638. Gray foxes are increasing and expanding their range. Red foxes have thrived under the system. There has been no noticeable decline in weasels, destructive hawks and owls. The answer add* up the same: Bounties apparently do not control predators. However predators must be controlled at times, and if the bounty system doesn’t work, what will? States are now trying to ed ucate their citizens to accept the logical solution—intense lo cal war where needed on pred ators by professional trappers and exterminators, plus the ed ucation of farmer-trappers in the same sort of work. No one in conservation denies the necessity of controlling predators occasionally in cer tain areas, but all students of the problem ait coming to the conclusion that such control should be the work of men trained to do the job. FALL PROGRAM PLANNED FOR YOUTH CANTEEN Big plans are being made for the fall program of the Youth Canteen under the superivision of Mrs. Miller Wessinger and Mr. Charles Dukes Th e new year begins in September and the membership drive is in full swing.
