TO SAVE TURKEY
States LegisIate to Protect
The Wild Breed.

Turkeys have been newly placed
on the list Of game birds by the Leg
islature Of Massachusetts,. and in fu-
ture will not be allowed to be shot
at any season in that State.
This seems the more remarkable,
because the fowls thus protected
by Law arewild turkeye, and there
are none such in any part of New
England at the present time. But
explanation Of the matter lies in the
fact that they are now being intro
duced in considerable numbers into
Massachusetts. with a view of breed
ing them under conditions Of semi
domestication, writes Rene Bache in
the Los Angeles Times.
The same sort of experiment is be
ing made in California and also In
New York state, where the game
Breeders Association Can influential
and wealthy organization of public
spirited men. is already raising wild
turkeys on a considerable scale on its
breeding farms, some hundreds of
the birds having been trapped in
Virginia and the Carolinas for the
purpose. When, as is expected. the
New York Legislature grants them
the requisite protection against pot
hunters, they will be allowed to
shift for themselves, the prospect
being that they will again become
as of yore. the citizens of such wood
lands as may afford them the seclu-
sion they demand.
