HOW IT WORKS
Upstroke raises minnows.
Downstroke compresses air and recharges water with lifegiving oxygen.

DO YOU KNOW?
The wind and waves are nature's way of recharging water as air contains 21 /o of life giving oxygen. Artificially, this same action results when discharging compressed air under water.
AIRMIX is a 12 quart minnow pail with a built-in double duty air compressor. When the disc plunger is raised to the full upstroke, air is trapped above the water; likewise, the minnows have access to free air. On the downstroke, this trapped air is forced into the water.
Most damage to minnows results while being transported. Airmix solves this problem. While cold water has greater oxygen capacity than Warm water, temperature is not a rel~able indicator. Be sure to "pump" oxygen in at frequent intervals the easy "Airmix" way. You save minnows- you save money.

True, story of the opossum in pictures.

Family Facts
The Lowly Opossunt

Few wild animals have stirred the imagination of man as much as the lowly opossum. The nature of their birth and nurture has been cause for much speculation even among students , of natural history.

The reproductive organs do not differ essentially from those

of other warm-blooded mammals nor is there essential difference

in the act.Tht embryonic condition in which the young are born

and the way in which they are nurtured is, however, quite differ-

ent from other native mammals. According to careful observers

who have reared opossums in captivity, the young are born

within 12 to 13 days after a successful mating. At birth they

appear to be very poorly developed and measure less than an

inch in length.



Immediately after birth the opossum sow licks the embryonic fluid from the new-born young, which work their way by a crawling motion to and into the pouch. The pouch is furred and encompasses the teats, of which there usually are 13. Recor<,ls indicate that as many as 18 young have been born in a single litter.

The number of teats is not, of course, sufficient to accommodate this number of young and presumably those unsuccessful in finding a source of food perish. The usual number of young found in a pouch is six or seven. Seven was the number found in the female shown in the accompanying photographs.

The pouch can be almost completely closed by muscular action and thus afford considerable protection to the young. After four to five weeks of . confinement within th~ pouch the young attain a size approximately that of a small rat and venture forth from their shelter. The brood remain together with the mother for about two months before separating and going their separate travels in quest of food . and shelter.

Only one brood a year is generally raised by each female in northern states. However, in the South, sows often contribute two or more litters in a spring and summer.

America's hunters and anglers
spent more than $26,000,000 for
the mere privilege to enjoy their
during the fiscal _ .,.....__, year ending June
30, 1945. The amount, w h i c h totaled $26,092,5 6 3, represents the purchase of 8,190,001 hunting licenses and 8,280,232 fishing licenses in the 48 states of the nation. This does not necessarily mean that 16,471,133 different sportsbought licenses to hunt or for many of these individuals purchased both. Nor does it mean that only 16,471.133 sportsmen wet lines or fired guns, for in many states it is not necessary for a landowner to procure a license to hunt or fish on his own property.

NEAR-EVEN COUNT It does mean, however, that a
total of 1,135,398 more hunting and fishing licenses were sold than in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1944. Hunting licenses increased 685,643 for an additional. revenue of $1,965,100, while fishing licenses bounced upward 449,755 to the tune of $740,238.
Hunting and fishing licenses are much closer together than usual, for almost every year anglers outrank hunters by a considerable margin.
The $26,092,563 which the sportsman paid for licenses was a mere white chip in the sporting game the hunter and angler play each year. His licenses to hunt and fish merely represent his ante in the pot of sport . . . and generally, if he plays the game fair and square -and smart-he'll get more out of it than he puts in.
NO PENNY-ANTE The outdoorsman plays in no
penny-ante game. To get the most out of his sport he must fortify himself with a sizable stake of proper equipment and be willing to risk much for little.. But some times he hits the jackpot and the thrilling pleasure won will last a lifetime.
Pots won, and even lost, in the game of hunting and fishing are played over and over again in , memory; self-criticism for mistakes made runs rampant; resolutions of remedy solemnly vowed (only to be forgotten, of course); and the cost of the game seldom counted. No, bridge-players hold no monopoly on this habit of "re-
hashing." When the sportsman tosses in
his license-fee-ante he has merely registered as one eligible to par- .
ticipate. It's a toss-up between the hunter and the angler as to who spends the mo;,;t in the furtherance of his sport. Varyiug. conditions, tastes and habi+;s 'lre 1eflected in th e inJ, ; ':mat exp~ndltLaes and very, very few sportsmen, and this certainly includes me, have nerve enough or any desire, for that matter, to keep an accurate account of this expenditure each or any year. Anyway, what's the
use? The sportsman gambles his
mcney not for profit but for pleasure and he doesn't play the game
with white chips.

The group of complainants protested against "the practice of fur-

nishing quail to dog t_rainers "who

use them in their own personal

business." The practice of using state birds for field trials also was

attacked.



STANDARD POLICIES Clarke declared that his depart-
1i1ent had standard policies for the release of quail for restocking

which provided that the available supply go to counties showing, after a five-year game census, a decrease in quail population of 50

per cent. He said it had been the policy

of the commission to supply birds

for field trials with the provision

I
I.

vided the organization had not less than 10 members, but that additional supplies of birds could be had by a field trial g roup only if it scheduled its trials with the American Field Publishing Co.
Clarke said 59,448 quail had been released in the past 10 years on the 12,441 square miles of open and suitable land in the state, an average of 4.7 birds per square mile and, on the basis of the 174,885 farms in the state, an average "of 2.9 birds per farm.
VALUE QUESTIONED Approximately 1,200 quail are
being readied for release in some 40-odd counties, now, the director said, pointing to the fact that the limited supply of available birds made it necessary that the counties showing the greatest popula-
tion decrease get those available. rl "The quail population is deter-
mined," he explained, "by surveying 25 representative farms in each county over a five-year period. Even so, this can give us only the 'population trend' and not the actual population."
The director expressed doubt that restocking helped the game population and cited figures showing that _both nonstocked and restocked areas show gains when weather and food conditions are good, whereas both types of areas show declines, regardless of the amount of restocking, where weather, fo od and cover conditions
are not good. Signers of the petition, which '
was postmarked at Manassas, were J. M. Bolding, 0. J. Trenis, J. R. Eagle, L. H. Hamner, J . L. Mayhugh, C. L. Seeley, George Harrison, J. W. Murphy, J. H . Eagle, B. F. Blumer, 0. J. Fitzwater, Harry P. Davis, George B. Speer and R. Jackson Ratcliffe.

.Is Sport Worth It?
The delights o( the sportsman are t-oo numerous to list. Every person who reads this message knows what it means to take a a trout or kill a bass ... to flush a covey of quail ... to bring down a deer . . . to hear a hound bay at the tree . . . he understands the deep pleasure of the woods . . . the :r.est of camping beside a clear stream . . . the earthy joy of tramping the fi-elds.
But nature does not always stay in balance.
Through all the ages, man in his migrations westward has left .a blight on many of the earth's most fertile areas .. Lands and streams once teeming with nature's gifts have been made barren ..bY man.
When nature ceases to be in balance we can no longer have the beauties of nature-nor fish, nor game, nor trees . . . not even water to drink or use for power. Often we cannot survive .except by moving on.
Only recently have we become aware of the need for restoration and replenishment . . . soil conservation . . . forest and flood control ... vigilance against the pollution of our rivers .. . breeding and feeding grounds for fish, fte~;h and fowl. On these billions of dollars have been spent. Much more remains to be done.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -The new Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge along Gilbertsville Lake in West Tennessee looms as an important step in the development of waterfowl feeding and shooting areas.
The refuge will cover approximately 50,000 acres of land and water, about two-thirds of which is normally flooded. Three distinct areas will include the embayment!! of Big Sandy and Duck rivers and a smaller section near B~sseltown . Intervening water and land will not be a part of the refuge.
Headquarters have been established at Paris, with Chester Markley in charge. Hunters are being informed of boundaries now, and should be acquainted with them before the next gunning season.
Fishing and boating will not be affected under the new set-up.
Under the refuge plan special
feeding grounds will be provided by licensees of TVA agricultural
land who will operate on a sharecrop basis, leaving a portion of their crops in the fields for use
by wildfowl. The area is adjacent to the M;is-
sissippi flyway and this year should provide the fastest gunning since the lake was built in
the fall of 1944.
