Some years ago a drive was made to destroy animals which were killing the deer in a large forest of the western United . States.

This is because the pollution. of streams by towns and cities coupled with the removal of brush from ri- ver banks and the lowering of water levels by deforestation. Fish are now unable to live in some' waters because of wastes from factories and mills. This waste material does not have to be poisonous, to be harmful, if it destroys the smaller animals and plants an which fish. live or removes the oxygen from the water- it will make life impossible. It takes years to'restore fish in a tainted . lake. Not until plant life has been completely re- newed will young fish again survive. Our treatment of wildlife, we must admit, has not added to our glory. We are only be- ginning to realize that if we seek prosperity for our fann- ers, trappers, foresters, fish- ermen and all those who use their products, there'are things the must do. If we are going to use our natural resources to their fullest, we have an obli- gation. to'maintain the conser- vation of wildlife, a. factor which still greatly affects the economy of our country.
