TO STOCK STATE WITH PHEASANTS State Conservation Department To Buy 1,700 Eggs For Hatching Future hunting in Indiana is to augmented by the presence of ring-neck pheasants if plans of the state conservation department, preparing to start stocking the state with these birds, materialize as hoped. Ttie fish ami game division has placed orders for 1700 eggs with an Illinois' firm and is directing they be shipped to thirty throe clubs and asso; lations in Indiana. In turn the clubs look after the work of hatching the eggs and liberating young chicks when of sufficient age ta shift for themselves in fields and woods. George N. Mannfeld. head Os the division. in a report filed today with Richuid Lieber. department director, also pointed out that his division has purchased and liberated on the Brown County Game reservation, fifteen wild turkeys. This reservation consists of 10,122 acres and it is the plan of the conservation department to make it a sanctuary and breeding place for all kinds of small wild life. The idea is that because birds ami game are protected within the reserve, they will soon multiply at a rapid rate and the overflow spread into the surrounding tenitory thereby greatly increasing hunting in southern Indiana. At this time the Brown County place is heavily stocked with quail some ruffed grouse and ring-neck pheasants. Tlie Kankakee Game preserve, according to Mannfeld, shows a splendid increase in prairie chickens, muskrats and other fur bearing animals. Ice is now out cf the northern Ind-1

iana lakes and the conservation department Is prepating to stake certain portions of numerous lakes as breeding grounds far the spring fish hhtch. The department protects these places, during spawning time and in this way many millions of fish are annually pro-! dueed in a natural way, augmented by ' tlm output Irotu five hatcheries which' e.-n h spring ate planted in public wat-l 1 ers of the state. As a result of this highly important work. Indiana is now loked upon by sportsmen of the nation las offering Idea! spo't for both'hunting and fishing and each year finds thousands cf out-state people coming to the common-wealth to enjoy these healthful pastimes. ■ o Town Marshal Faces Charge Os Murder NewcCuslle Ind.
