Still another result of the West bills, if they were enacted, might be the wholesale destruction of fish and game in rural California. Although some of the sportsmen's groups seem to be blind to the fact, game has existed and multiplied in California largely on farmers' land -under farmers' protection! The surest way to destroy this protection and open the road to extermination of game is the method seemingly adopted by the sportsmen's groups. California farmers can not be expected to protect the sportsmen's hunting grounds if the sportsmen let down the bars to the stampeding and shooting of cattle, the destruction of farm property and open vandalism. There would be serious danger, if the trespass law was broken down, that California wild life would be killed in season and out of season, without regard ot limits or sportsmanship. Certainly there would be no incentive to the farmer to stand guard against this wholesale destruction of game, as he has in the past. And California's 150,000 farmers have been far more effective guardians of game than the state's small crew of paid. game wardens. $350, Simon Bachman $7000, Chas. H. Troliet $7000, C. F.
