Agency Man Talk

The proposed and present game law
is discussed from a farmers view.
point by G. B. Johnson of Agency In
the following letter:
Gentlemen:-I see by the Courier of
the Gath. that the game law is being
agitated again. 1 want to write from
a farmers viewpoint We like to hunt
sometimes ourselves. AS the law now
is, We are busy with our fall work and
haven't time to hunt The season for
quail should be later, and instead of
cutting 1t out, make 1t shorter; from
Dec. 10, to Jan. l, or jan /, to Jan.
IL. Let tho hunters licence 60. There
are some who like to hunt who have.
not the one.dollar to spare. but like
sport RS we'll as a professional. The
professional is the one that make game
scarce, he never misses bird, but we
are lucky IL we get one in five shots.
We don't like to be called mean and
all that and don't like to call a man
down and tell him to get out, We
know how we feel to be ordered ont
ourselves. While the season has. some.
thing to do with the number of birds.
1t has not all to do with it. / know
that some men have carried home
more than the limit, q have their
word for IT. but some men feel good
to take home a mess for the family.
Boys like rabbits and love to hunt
them. Why deprive them of this priv
ilega by taxing them one dollar?
Rabbits are pest and we want them
kept thinIed out. Let the boys hunt.

TAKE OTHER SIDE.
sportsmen Discuss Proposed and Pres
ent Game Law from Differ
ent Viewpoints.

ent Viewpoints.
d. L. Cook of West Point. an enthus-
iastic sportsman takes another view NJ
the proposed five year game law to
those expressed by local sportsmen.
In recent letter to the Courier, he
says:
I noticed in the Courier few days
ago several letters from sportsmen
concerning the new game law up for
passage.
Now there Is always two sides to
every case and the best of laws and
one for the betterment of everyone
interested always has great opposition
from q certain class and it was with
some amusement that read some Of
the letters. In one of them, the writer
says that should the five year law be
passed at the end Of that period the
quatls would be extinct, and that Ii
the present law remains as 1t is, the
quails would increase.
That Is something do not unde.-
stand. How by complete protection
they would diminish and how as he
says by shooting. they would increase
is beyond me.
u have hunted ever since could
handle gun, End have shot both large
ana small game, but I am always IN
favor Of anything reasonable for the
protection Of game.
Hard Winters Hurt Came.
y realize very much that the hard
winters are one of the worst factors
to combat, but we cannot pass laws
70 regulate them, but must regulate
our laws according to the needs. be.
lieve however. that two year closed
season would be more reasonable ill.,
asmuch as 1t would give our few re.
naming quail sufficient time to multi
ply and at the same time not be so
severe on the sportsmen.
Down in this section there Ia not
one quail now to where two years
ago there were 500. Last fall, several
times. spent whole days in hunting
quail without even seeing one.
Likes License Law.
Now If these few remaining are
killed OF what will we do for the ftl-
ture. True there are great many
farmers who are friends of the quail
and forbid hunting them at all times,
but these are plentiful enough to de-
pend on for the shortage. / believe
the license law is good thing and
that close season for two years with
good sprinkling of good game war
dens throughout the state would have
very great influence on our SUNNY
of game"
