object of the Weeks-McLean bill en-
acted by congress was for the protec-
tion of misunderstanding migratory
birds not protected under many state
the north as song birds are regarded
In the southern states, where they
spend the winter, as game birds. The
secondary object OF the bill Is to pre-
vent spring shooting of water FOWL
and to make it easier for those birds
to. breed in peace and propagate. North
Dakota has a. law preventing spring
shooting and ducks breed here IN
great quantities. In many other states
like Iowa and Illinois spring shooting
Is allowed n the slaughter Will ulti-
mately lead to determination Of the
faVorite water fowl. "
THE Weeks-McLean BILL" continued
Secretary Brewer, turns over the pro-
lection OF migratory birds to the U; S,
department of agriculture. The bu.
reaI of biology will have charge OF
working out the regulations for the
protection OF game under this measure.
There win be a conference OF the
heads of this division with the repre-
and the state audubon societies. This
will probably be held in Chicago in
July. At that time matter govern
ing the birds will be determined and
districtn or zones arranged In which
there will be certain periods for closed
and for open seasons for shooting.
Many birds not now protected will be
shooting will be permanently abolish
ed. The regulations must be promul-
gated three months. before they are
operative and will in no tanner affect
fall shooting in this part Of the coun-
try. They will be in force, however,
all over the. United States in time to
prevent spring shooting in 1914.
North Dakotans," concluded Colonel
Brewer, need not fear their favorite
sport will be eliminated. The season
may be shortened somewhat, but wild
ducks and geese will be shot in the
fall for many years. As North Dakota
Is one of the states prohibiting spring
shooting, the changes here will be less
radical than those Of some other sec
birds will wi InH~ nSGoouubbtteSSiv m be add mtSt to fbs

1872, during her first London season,
that she was honored by a command

At 3:45 tomorrow afternoon Fargo
college and the Aggies clash in their
return game on Dacotah field. The

The grain shipments of Edgeley last
season were in excess Of 750, 900

Of hogs and cattle made the total of

every farmer has a large number Of

state experiment station is located
here makes it easy for the farmers to
get advice from the superintendent,
Mr.. Thompson about matters in re-
