PLENTY OF GAMES
BUT NOTICES UP

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
MILFORD, Del, Oct 23-Reports
from farmers and sportsmen generally
show that game is more plentiful this
year than for years past The farm
ers further state that they will prose-
cute any persons who trespass on
their lands, without first obtaining
their permission. To do this, they say
that the gunners will first have to pay
them for the privilege. This was
brought about by the new cunning
laws which are now in effect. The
farmers generally complain that the
laws should have exempted them from
taking out the necessary cunning
license, and base their claim upon the
fact that they feed the game while the
town and city gunners do not. While
the game associations claim that the
new laws are accountable for the un-
usually plentiful supply Of birds and
rabbits, the farmers say that weather
conditions this year have been more
favorable TO game than in years past.
in the immediate vicinity of Milford.
Practically every farmer has already
lposted his lands against cunning, and
many Of them have also advertised the
fact. It is more than likely that many
prosecutions will occur for trespass-
ing.
