Game &Fish Association DATA ON GAME 8TATU8 (IJy L>r ilavllah liabcock, Columbia) Reforestation and soil conservation are prerequisite to any sound and J comprehenslve plan of game and fish j restoration Members of the assocl-1 ation should be glad to coordinate their activities with these agencies. It's wildlife that is the most profitable financial Investment the State of South Carolina lias Sportsmen annually spend in the state between five and ten million dollars- to kill the earm- and catch the fish the state spends less than two hundred thousand to preserve and Increase. South Carolinians fish more and I hunt more, in proportion to the population. than any other people, and do' less for their game and fish than any other people. No other states does so ill lie. \Se lidi l- got iij J'ct oiJi iitf uuj .hci*. i-s in fai t that tht.tr i.-> a lot the state can't do or won't Ju a h' t %' huCe (.'o' to do Olll'SelVeS.' \Vh--n -'a'.e ehargvs three dollars for a If'-nse, u j, s-IIlng something It hasn t gut. since the state provides no pia< for the llcuse-buyer to hunt ' Wi'h the in< reuse in leisure time which accompanies the shorter working day and week, growing legions of people will turn to the out-of-doors for diversion, which means heavier inroads on our native stock of game and fish The "shooters" are increas-j ihg faster than the shooteeB." In the whole business of game restoration, the forgotten man Is the farmer. No substantial results can be accomplished unless and until the sportsman takes the farmer Into partnership. Game raising mua be made a cash crop for the farmer. Until that Is done, such game as we have, we shall have in spite of ourselves. Houth Carolina landowners are the best natured people In the world, but some hunters expect too much of them. Wo should not abuse the landowner's generosity by overshooting his game or damaging his property. The true sportsman is one who treats the other fellow's game and fish, as If I they were his own A large proportion of the game an(nually taken In this stale la taken illegally or unethically There are many Incompetent game warden*, but generally speaking, they are probably no more Incompetent than other office-holders. Too many people know lugly vote for. or use their influence for, an Incompetent warden, then fuss with somebody else about it As a whole. 1 can't escape the conviction that moat counties get the kind of game warden they want. Much of the responsibility of lax enforcement of the game laws lies at our own door. On the first day of the dove shooting season this year, all the regular wardens in the state, around 1"?>, obtained only four arrests and convictions for violations On the same 'lay, three special officers hired by the state, game warden obtained fifty-Tour arrests and convictions. There is manifestly sotftething wrong with our method of selecting j wai J.-ns *n?ey should be placed on j Civil service, and should be choseni on basis of efficiency and special training, and not for political eligibility. The game warden's office is in the field, where the game is and where the violations occur. His efficiency should be Judged by the frequency with which he is seen in the field. A pertinent question is: How well do we want the game laws enforced |againBt us and against our friends? i Too many people take the position 'that the laws should be enforced only against the other fellow. | Game's Public Enemy Number 1 Is ! the conscienceless and gluttonous game and fish bag Wild animals kill 'only what they can consume I If one chapter of the state, regardless of the srnallness of Its number, would take an uncompromising stand for sportsmanship and enforcement, observe the laws themselves and encourage others to do so, that chapter could stamp out lawlessness in its county and set an example that would resound throughout the state.

Like many other forms of aniuial life, the toad has a tongue which it shoots out to impale insects. Unlike the other insect gathering tongues, the toad's is not attached to the throat, but to the front of the upper Jaw. It lies with its free end pointing backward and is not daTted out, but snapped forward like a rubber band.?From The American Wildlife Institute.
