It is the offer of the United States' bu­ reau o f fisheries to stock lakes and streams with fish in addition to those supplied by the state, Commissioner Wooddell suggested, that sportsmen’s groups apply fo r the federal fish stocking service at once through their congressmen. In certain sections o f the state the bureau of* fisheries* service has been requested but there are many large areas from which no requests have been made, it was said. The federal program is entirely apart from that carried on b y tho state di­ vision o f conservation, Commissioner .Wooddell asserted. Announcement o f -the appointment p f Victor-E.
