HUNTERSSPEND 16 MILLION IN STATE YEARLY Creveling Throws Interesting Light on Sport. Lauds State as Great Game Area Attorney Jolin Q. Creveling, a member of the State Game Commission, also president of the United Sportsmen of Pennsylvania, was the speaker this afternoon at weekly luncheon Wilkes-Barre -meeting in Rotary Hotel Club. Sterling Among other things he stressed the value of the game annually taken by hunters and the addition to the recreational value afforded, as justifying the money and time spent to restore the game life in the Commonwealth. "Although the hunters' licenses have yielded during the last two years about a million dollars each said Mr.

Creveling, a fair estimate of expenditures of the hunters, in the pursuit of game for guns, ammunition, clothing, travel expenses and the like; has been about $16,000,000 per year, finding its way into the channels of business. Thus hunting has become a great business. "Game is propagated at four game farms and liberated therefrom to the open hunting territory. These farms are now producing large numbers of ring neck pheasants and quail. During the past two years, in addition to what the game farms have produced, the board has purchased and liberated 117,884 cottontail rabbits, 2,003 varying hares, 102 ring-neck pheasants, 1,204 Hungarian partridges, 418 Reeves pheasants and numbers of other species of game.

20,000 Deer Kiled "The killing of deer annually now has reached about. twenty thousand head in each last three years, and the deer are still plentiful. "One of the greatest of the achievements arising from the game fund expenditures is the purchase of lands for hunting and for game refuges. The commission now has title to 430,000 acres of hunting land. This is a lasting expenditure toward perpetuating the sport of hunting great adjunct to the production of timber preservation of the wild mountain, lands.

"Within two from Wilkes- there are over 150 square miles of such game hunting lands, title to which vested in State and is under the supervision of the board of commissioners. "These lands are now being improved by the C. C. Camps, established by the government, and roads crossing them are being constructed, trails established, fire hazards minimized, trees planted and streams improved. Besides the heavy toll taken by the game hunters, the trappers during the past two years have taken over $500,000 in trapping fur bearing animals.

3 Million Acres Set Aside "Pennsylvania is a great game A state. It has about 13,000,000 acres of forest lands and is capable of producing a large amount of game. It has been the constant effort of the Game Commission to make this large area of woodland valuable for game and to protect the woodlands so that they may be perpetuated as a valuable asset to the state. Adherence to a well defined policy over a long period, has restored game life to importance and has demonstrated its value. "The continued interest of a great army of hunters of the State, now over a half million, has served to bring about results in Pennsylvania which are very gratifying.

The Board of Game Commissioners 0 serve without salary or compensation, yet they devote much time and effort to direct this important enterprise in the interest of the hunters, giving constant attention to the preservation of the breeding stock the enforcement of the game laws."
