SAYS GAME LAWS WERE
 PRINTED INCORRECTLY

Editor Bridgeport Farmer:
 In 9, Bridgeport paper last evening the game laws were printed incor- rectly. AS 90 percent of the shooters get their Knowledge of this law through the press alone it is very ess- genital that same should be printed correctly. The season for 1912 opens on Tuesday Oct. StIl,, not Oct. 7th.
 Sec. 3.122, of the Connecticut Fish & Game laws in force Nov 1st, 1911, reads $ follows: viz, Close season for quail, woodcock, partridge or ruff ed grouse and naongoiian, Chinese and English pheasants eEsll be from Nov. 24th to Oct 7th Qnclusives. Gray squir- rel, same as above. See Sec. 3,115.
 For any further information I re- spectfuliy refer you to the State Game Warden, MT. Wilbur F. Smith of South Norwalk, 198 Ely avenue. Tele- phone 722-4
 Three times to date this season the game lawns have appeared in Bridge port evening papers and two out of the three times they were incorrectly printed. On the strength of last nights arti- cle giving the open season Oct. 7th, some well meaning person who goes aAeld on this date is apt to get in wrong.
 Trusting you will insert the game law correctly at an es Fly date for the benefit Of those who do not see the printed copies and are thus apt to be mislsed by previous incorrect state ments, I remain -espe ectfu1ly yours,
