Wolves are multiplying so rapidly in the nortli woods of Michigan that the state has been asked to increase the bounty beyond the 5 now allowed for adult animals and 15 for cubs under six months of age. The Pennsylvania Game Commission wishes to establish a game preserve in eacli county. It suggests that instead of turning the money from hunters licenses back into the state treasury, the funds provided by sportsmen should be used for such preserves.
