(hiofo and North Western System C. &N. W. RY. C. ST. P. M. & O. RY. Cost of operating the railroads during <5overmneftt-Control increased abnormally. This has now been substantially decreased under private management. Hourly and daily rates of pay for railway employes are yet higher than they were during Government Control. Beginning with January, 1922, the Interstate Commerce Commission has made several reductions in freight rates until fully one-half of the advance in freigfel rate# mad# in 1920 has been wiped out. Rates are still about forty per cent higher than before the war. None of this increase iircat^ goes to the owners of the railroads. The net return to*the owners is less than it was before the war, and this notwithstanding the fact that more than two billion dollar# have hffn inyftgtftd railroads since 1917. . ; All of the increases in rates, both freight and passenger, express and other service, have gone and are going to pay higher wages, higher taxes, and higher costs of materials and supplies. William J. Stratton, chief game and fish warden, in an .interview advocated construction of fish ponds on every farm where conditions of soil aiid water are favorable as one of the best emthods of providing sport and healthful recreation for the thousands of persons who cannot afford expensive trips to distant fishing grounds. Mr. Stratton is preparing a booklet for distribution, which explains in detail requirements for and inexpensive methods of providing sport and ponds. These ponds will be stocked by the state with bass, croppie, blue gills and other fish adapted to inland waters from the hatcheries which have been purchased and built with money derived from the sale of license*. Over three million young bass, or enough to stock fifty northern Illinois lakes, in addition to twenty-five carloads shipped tc downstate lakes and streams, were produced last year at the Spring Grove hatchery. This hatchery, consisting of four ponds, containing about thirty acres, is one of the largest bass hatcheries in the world. Bass cannot be propagated by artificial means, so the adult fish are placed in these ponds and allowed to spawn under natural conditions. The spawn hatches in May or June, under normal temperatures, and the young are ready for distribution by late summer or early fall. At this time each pond is drained, the adult bass placed in a retaining pond and the fingerlings collected in concrete basins at the lowest part of the pond. These fingerlings are then loaded in large milk cans and delivered by rail or truck to streams and lakes of the state. The demand for stock so far exceeds the supply that the fifty-third general assembly, at the request of the organized sportsmen, made an appropriation for the purchase, construction and maintenance of additional hatcheries. At the present time four bass hatcheries are under construction and will be stocked with adult fish this fall. They are distributed in such a way that cost of distribution will be mininized. The Rockford hatchery contains seventeen acres in one large pond. Yorkville has two ponds of fifteen acres. East St. Louis has fifteen acres and Carlyle twelve acres. Necessary retaining ponds and concrete basins are being built at each hatchery in addition to the large spawning ponds. Mr. Stratton hopes at an early date to secure additional hatcheries for other sections of the state. However, the successful completion of this progriSn of more fish and more places to fish depends not so much upon restrictive "Don't" laws as upon constructive legislation. It behooves every fisherman to see to it that all members of the legislature, in fact, all public officials, thoroly understand the vital importance of carrying on this work. The division of game and fish must be financed and it is only right and just for those who enjoy fishing to support it by paying their Bhare in the form of a fishing license, hot for the right to fish, but to increase the supply of fish for themselves and future generations.
