PATTERN AFTER MINNESOTA.
North Dakota Will Adopt Game Law
Of This State.

sportsmen of North Dakota are
greatly interested in the fate of the
Talcott bill in the state legislature.
The bill provides for the commission
system with an executive agent, SINH
lar to that of Minnesota. It is be-
lieved that this system will take game
protection out of the hands of the
politicians to a large extent. The
executive agent will have to answer to
the commissioners. who will work
without salary other than the per
diem and mileage, and If he fails to
make good there will be no chance to
hold him in Office through political
pull.
Minnesota is generally recognized
as the state having the best laws for
the protection of game" said James
Turner, member of the North Da-
kota Protective association. Sporting
journals put it at the head of the list
of states. From what l know of the
matter I believe Minnesota is entitled
to this distinction. If the Talcott bill
is passed it will place North Dakota
in the same class as Minnesota.

State Topics of Interest
FORESTRY FOR NORTH DAKOTA.

N. D. Federation Of Women's Clubs
Urges the Women Of the State to
We 4 for Tree Planting.
The forestry committee Of the
North Dakota Federation Of Women's
clubs of which Mrs. j. ]. Robson of
Langdon is chairman is working for
tree planting in North Dakota. They
have sent out a circular offering the
following suggestions:
It is the aim Of the committee to
make the love of trees more universal
and the planting more general. It is
our hope that every club in the state
will labor to encourage tree planting
for both esthetic and economic reS
sons.
Every club member is urged to
plant at least one tree this year and
see that it grows.
Every club without a forestry com
mittee is earnestly requested to ap
point one. Make a study of our own
local needs, as also the resources and
forestry laws of the state.
Make grounds around your own
home as attractive as possible.
Endeavor to improve the condition
and increase the number of trees in
your own vicinity that your neighbor.
hood may be worked into a garden OF
park.
Encourage systematic planting Of
street trees and their protection from
injury.
Encourage the local press to print
items Of interest in reference to for
estry.
Nature study walks can be made
pleasant and helpful, arousing inter
est in bird, insect and tree. life.
Encourage the observance of arbor
and bird day in the schools and assist
by your attendance at the exercises
Farmers and all land owners should
be encouraged to maintain wood in
lots on their poorer land, to use low
bottom lands along streams, subject
to flooding, also rough ground and
sand hill areas, toAplant trees along
denuded lands unfit for agricultural
purposes.
Conservative management of all
farm lands should be encouraged.
See that the fact is made clear that
the question of wood and water, wood
constituting one of our most indis
pensable resources, and water upon
which largely depends the success Of
agriculture and commerce, being i'm
mediately related to the maintenance
of forest cover on hills or mountain
slopes. Not that forests are excel
lent sanitary agents.
The forest service at Washington
will advise, assist and cooperate with
clubs or individuals working along
forestry lines.
Forestry might be made an interest
ing subject at the district meetings
Outlines for programs, suggestive
subjects for papers will be sent to
any club upon application to the for
estry committee.
