To All Deputy Game Wardens:
Your attention IS called to tie fo--
LOVING synopsis Of the new Federal
law for the protection OF migratory
birds in this State, which went into
effect October /.

CAN migratory insectiverous birds
protected indefinitely"
ALL wardens are expected to take
the same interest in the nforcement
of the Federal laws as in the en-
forcement of the State laws. 1t should
not be presumed that just because
the United States has undertaken the
protection of our migratory game
that we should relax ins our efforts
at protection. In fact, with TIE uni
form laws in the various states as
provided in the Federal regulation,
with the aid of the Federal Officers
and courts the outlook for conserving
our heretofore rapidly disappearing
migratory birds is good.
All deputy game warde-s should
in every way with the .
Federal officers in the enforcement
of the new national game laws. US ;
uailly a violation of the Federal law
will also involve a violation of the
State law, in which case prosecutions
should be made in the State courts
as heretofore, unless for some good
reason it would appear to be better
policy to take the case into the Unit !,
ed States courts. i
ALI violations of the Federal laws
should be reported through this Of
flee. Arrangements can then be q
made to bring the violation to tie
attention of the proper Federal Of =
ficers for action.
Every effort should be made by
the game wardens to acquadnt them
selves with the provisions of all Fed
sral laws for the protection of our
wild life so that any questions asked
eonceuping them can be answered :,
without hesitation, and every effort =,
should be made to Inform the sports o.
men and people generally of their !,
provisions. q
Further information concerning the v
new Federal laws can be secured .
through this office or by addressing v
D G. Nowlin, Inspector, Biological
Survey, Salt Lake City, Utah. =,
Very respectfully, .
State Game Warden.
