Indiana Streams And Laken Growing Popular Indianapolis, Ind , Sept. I.—(Spec- ' lai)—There cun be no doubt that Indiana lakes and streams arc being sought more and morn by fishermen and recreaionists from other states. George N. Mannfold, says in a report jn|it filed with the state conservation commission. Whether this Is due to' the Increase in automobiles and good roads, to better fishing in our state, or because tile price of the non resident fishing licenses in Indiana is only $1 comparde to much higher prices In other states, are debatable questions, he declares. The fish and game division's records show that sales of non resident fishing licenses increased this year over last by more thun 1110. In 1918 the department sold 3,876 licenses, latst year it sold 18,929 and this year the sale will exceed 15,000, non resident licenses. Counties issuing the greater number of non-resident licenses in 1921 were Reuben, 1,575; lAtke, LtJ*’/ Dearborn. 762! Kosciusko, 603; Frank lln, 553; Fountain, 248; Marshall, 247; ton and Lagrange each 23f» Tills is over 40 per cent of all non-resident licenses sold in Hie 92 counties of Indiana. Excellent results were obtained al the various hatcheries this set son and in July the division planted in the waters of this state 198,200 fingerling fish and 4.000 advanced fry. Os this number 128.600 were black bass; 34,200 blutgills; 18,800 crappies; 11, 600 rock bass or goggle-eye; 8.890 channel cat fish and 200 bullhead cat fish. Total fish delivered to ap plicants to date for this year are 1,683.424. July game wardens made 170 ar rests for violations of the fish and game laws, from which number 158 persons were convicted ami paid fines and costs amounting to 82,903.20. Fourteen cases are pending trial aud 7 were dismissed. Os the arrests 70 were for hunting or fishing without licenses; 35 for possession ami illegal use of seines and nets ;21 for killing squirrels in closed season and 15 for taking undersized game fish. Three were arrested for dynamiting fish. Conservation department officials say that reports coming to the department from over the state show that bass fishing in he lakes during July and August has been only fair. However, fishing for bluegills, perch and some other species was exceptionally good. More large fish of var-
