McHugh ATTORNEY Office in Corn Growers State Bank Murdock Nebraska An estimated 430.000 furs were taken by trappers in Nebraska during the 1951-52 winter. This estimate was based on trappers' report rards received and dom piled by the Nebraska Game Commission. The estimated '51-'52 winter take represents almost a 35 per cent increase over the number of furs taken in the previous winter. Almost 370,000 muskrat pelts were taken last winter, a mark ed increase over the 210.000 es timated taken the previous win ter. The '51-52 take of muskrats was the highest total taken during any winter- since the Game Commission began re cording trapping records 11 years ago. The '52-'53 winter, however, is less encouraging. Drouth con ditions affecting the important muskrat areas will probably ac celerate the anticipated decline in muskrat harvest. All infor mation available indicates that the muskrat population was at the peak of its cycle during the '51-'52 winter and should now begin to drop. Following are the different ! fur-bearing animals and esti mated number of each taken by trappers: Badger 500, beaver 5.000, bob cat 70, civet 2,200, covote 4.000, fox 275. mink 13.000" muskrat 370,000, opposum 6,300, raccoon 26,500, sknuk 8,700 and weasel 730.
