GAME CONSERVATION
CANADIAN ACHIEVEMENT. THE PAS, Manitoba. Muskrat restoration near here is now paying dividends. The 1941 spring catch on the Summerberry Game PreServe yielded 190,000 pelts valued at more than 360,000 dollars. More than 700 trappers will share this amount after deductions are made for royalties, cost of operation and marketing, and crop assurance fund. This was the second crop of muskrat pelts from the 135,000-acre preserve, established in 1936 through the co-operation of the Manitoba and Dominion Governments. In the spring of 1940 approximately 120,000 pelts were harvested. Under a plan inaugurated last 'year, the trappers participating in the 1941 catch will receive a monthly income of 25 dollars for the next twelve months.
