however, the limit Of ducks IN possess
sion is hereby made fifty. Nor shall
any person capture or take with any
trap, snare or net any Of the birds or
animals named" etc.
Those who heretofore have been in
the habit of selling game, such as
ducks, quail and prairie chickens, can
no longer do SO without laying them
selves open to the charge of violating
the law. The law is now effective.
License for Hunters.
The attention OF hunters is also
called to the fact that the new resident
hunters license law becomes effective
within short time, that is on the
Fourth Of July, and that after that
who wishes to hunt within the confines
of the state. will be compelled to take
out a license and pay 81 for the same.
This law and the fish license law are
the two most important revisions made
by the last legislature to the game
and fish laws of the state.
Perhaps the most drastic change in
the law is that relating to professional
fishermen engaged along the waters Of
the Mississippi. A license must now
be secured from the state before the
use of nets and seins is allowed. A
nonresident of Iowa must file bond
Of 5000, with two sureties, or make q
cash deposit of 5000.
1t is also unlawful to take from the
waters of the Mississippi, except by
hook and line, any black or white bass,
any striped bass, any pike, any crappy,
any pickerel less than fifteen inches, or
any catfish less than ten inches in
length, and no pike. bass or crappies
between and including March 81 and
June of each year.
Slaughter of Ducks.
Unless wild fowl are given govern
ment protection in less than a decade
the wild duck will go the way of the
passenger pigeon and buffalo. Accord
ing to Game Warden Ferdinand Bell Of
st. Bernard, La, who has submitted
his report to the game commission,
$4,000 ducks were slaughtered in that
parish during the months Of December,
January and February. Just think Of
it-42,O00 ducks slaughtered in one
parish in Louisiana in three months, or
an average Of $4,000 ducks a month.
and yet there are men who will say
that water fowl are as plentiful as
ever. Thoughtful sportsmen know bet
ter than this, however.
