OPEN SEASON FOR CHICKENS,
80 DAYS; BIRDS PLENTIFUL

Mitchell. S. D., Aug. 16-For the first
time in two years hunters will be per-
mitted to hunt prairie chickens, the
law being out September It, and 1t is
anticipated that there will be many
hundreds Of licenses taken out in many
unt Of the state to take advantage
Of the chicken shooting. However,
there will be but 80 days of the shoot
ing, as the law closes the night of Oc-
tober 8. Each hunter will be allowed
10 birds a day, and but 20 birds in his
possession at n time.
With the season closed for two years
the chickens have multiplied In great
numbers and farmers over the state say
that the birds will be very plentiful this
year. With the closing Of the chicken
season on October 8, the duck season
opens and will remain SO until next
April. The season Is still closed against
the shooting Of quail, and the ban will
not be raised on them until the fall Of
1913. The quail had just started to gain
a residence in the state when the hunt
ers landed on them and nearly wiped
them out Of existence, hence the sea-
son was closed until they could get
another start. BY increased number Of
hunters desiring to shoot chickens this
fall the game fund of the state and of
the counties will be very largely in
creased.
