to sportsmen, and suggesting how they
should treat farmers. 1t says:
But in the ardor and enthusiasm of
the hunt we fear spCrtsmen forget to
be courteous and generous to the far.
mer whose fields they trespass upon
and who raise great portion of the
grain that feeds the prairie hen. This
fOrgetfulness is causing prejudice to
spring up against them which, it they
are not careful. will narrow their
range and in some cases work them
trouble. A great many farmers are so
incensed at the treatment they have
received from chicken hunters that
they will permit no man with a gun
upon their premises, and Que columns
are filling up with ''Notices to Tres
passers." which show the degree of in
dignation they feel against the thank
less and law-defying hunters.
The "chicken season" is now fairly
on and we shall probably hear the
usual complaints concerning reckless
hunting and defiance of the farmers.
So long as the business of slaughtering
birds is recognized ~ 'sport," farmers
will have trouble with hunters, but
they can keep them within decent
bounds by clapping the law to them
vigorously for a few times in each
neighborh0od.
