The prizes which they are offering this year total more than the admissions which were taken in at the fair last year, and in order to assure the success of the un- it was decided to dertaking charge an admission price o $1.00 for adults, 50c for youngsters from 12 to 15, and 25c for all under 12 years of age.

He reported that the Whiterock hatchery had 615,000 native trout which would be ready for planting by August 15, and that these fish would be put in the high lakes and streams of the Uinta-h- s. He also stated that there would be an additional 300,000 native trout from the Midway hatchery distributed here. The spawn taken from the strawberry fish would be returned to the strawberry, with an additional 400,000 from Yellowstone Park, making about 1,750,000 fry tq be planted In the Strawberry area. About ten per cent of this fry develops Into legal sized fish, he said, and while the mortality is high, it still provides the most economical way to produce fish, especially where the streams are fished consistently and the big fish are caught. The bigger fish eat a great many of the little ones, so that It Is a good thing to have an open season occasionally on streams which are used for raising fry in, so that the big fish can be cleared out and give the little fellows a better chance of living. Mr. Madsen complimented us on the organization of the Moon Lake Fish and Game Club, and stated that the department was glad to see clubs of this kind organized, as It gave thorn a responsible organization to work with. He said that the State was anxious to work with us. erintendent of Fisheries Lets not have a Miss Faun Oman went to Salt Lake City last Thursday to attend the funeral services for Verlc Ferree, who was killed In a motorcycle accident there. $2.50 Fish And Game Word from Our State Department To Plant Many Fish In This Area Warriors Mr. J.
