A, a Farmers Must Use | Stamped Traps Now Under new regulations made by The Department of Lands and Forests it is now necessary for anyone who sets a steel trap for fur bearing ani- mals to have a designating letter and number stamped on the top spring of the trap for identification purposes. Thesé numbers are allotted by the re- sident conservation officer and are registered by him. Game Warden Ben 8mith of Prince Albert points out that these regulations also include farmers and their sons trapping fur bearing animals on their own land. "In the past the farmer has been ex- empt," he said. "Although a farmer and his sons do not need 'a trappers licence to trap on their own land fit is now necessary that they receive their number and stamp same on each trap before setting them." These numbers must be quoted to the fur buyer who records same on his monthly returns showing the name and address of the farmer, 'presented a petition from S.S.
