Iowa Game Laws May be Changed
During This Coming Legisla-
ture If Ideas Proposed Are
Accepted.
LAKES ARE CONSIDERED
State and County Parks Also Are
Agitated by Association Which
Held Its Meetings Last
Week.

Amendments to the game laws OF
Iowa so as to provide a closed season
for the game birds, will be asked OF
the new legislature by the Iowa Park
and Forest association which met in
Des Moines Wednesday. according to
the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
The conservation Of the lakes Of
the state and the creation of state
and county parks also will be asked
Of the legislature.
It was declared by we'll informed
speakers that Iowa Is far behind 9th
err states in the manner OF fish and
conform to the federal statute as 1t
permits spring shooting and the fed
eral law prohibits it, and the associa-
ton feels that the federal and state
laws should be the same and that the
state should work In harmony with
the federal government. There are
species Of wild birds that are almost
extinct in this state. especially the
wild turkey, the prairie chicken and
the pheasant, and the legislature will
be asked to place these birds on the
protected list forLat least Ave years.
The Iowa law permits the shooting Of
ducks as early as September and there
are pot hunters who know where the
ducks are and they are out so early
after September that the birds are
killed so soon after tn, season opens
that few are left at the beginning Of
the migratory season. The association
believes that the real sportsmen of
the state will be willing that the duck
season shall not open until December
i. a time when the ducks begin to
come down, and if the law is amended
all hunters will have an equal chance

Lakes are Considered.

There was much discussion at the
meeting Of the preservation Of the
lakes Of the state. In the northwest.
ern section there are many fine lakes
and a great many of them have been
drained and some OF the larger ones
are in danger OF drying up. Every
lake has an outlet and 1t was pointed
out that the constant wearing Of these
outlets has resulted in lowering them.
The fish and game wardens have built
dams at the outlets but they are too
low and the water is below the orig
inaI levels Of the lakes which results
in them freezing solid during the win
ter and the fish are killed. The as
sociation wishes the legislature to
take this matter up and make an ap-
preparation to pay the farmers ada
cent to the lakes for their overflow
land.
The association also wishes the
practice Of draining the lakes and
dividing the land stopped. 1t says the
lakes belong to the state and should
be conserved.

Suggestion to Buy Lands.


In the matter of state and county
parks it was suggested that the state
buy tracts of land in the vicinity Of
Okoboji and Spirit lakes and in Clay
ton and Allamakee counties where it
is scenic and timbered with native
trees. The association also hopes to
obtain the passage Of law whereby
the counties may purchase property
for park sites If they so desire.
The meeting was largely attended,
practically every part of the state be-
ing represented,
DR.. T. C. Stephens Of Sioux City,
was elected president; Fred J. Lazell
was elected vice-president, and Prof.
G. B. Mcdonald Of Ames, was elected
secretary. A vice president for each
congressional district was named The
legislative committee will include such
men as John G. Hartman Of the Wat
erloo Courier; w. H. Davidson of the
Burlington Hawk-Eye; e. R. Harlan,

INTERESTS ARE AFFECTED

SAN FRANCISCO. August THE
European war has already seriously af
fected the agricultural interests of Cal
ifornia and last night the Official
carnations of fruit growers sought
means of protecting fruit TO the value
of s1,500,O00 now on its way to Europe
in British bottoms. Some of this fruit
was shipped via the Isthmus of Pam
anna, and the presence of German
cruisers in the Pacific is giving the
shippers much concern. Most of the
dried fruit and canned vegetables from
California have already reached Ger
many, where the bulk of such cargoes
was consigned, but the shipment of
fresh fruit is at its height.
Plans were started to send fruit
products to the Atlantic sea board by
rail in the hope that vessels may lie
obtained there for transporting them
to foreign ports.
Grain producers are also affected by
the congestion of grain at Port Costa,
where several ships awaiting cargoes
have refused to accept the shipments
from the railroads. Grain is arriving
warehouses are full. and the refusal
tf the ships to load the grain may
cause serious loss to the shippers, Ee
cause the railroads decline to accept
any further responsibility after its ar
rival at the docks.
The ships awaiting cargoes have been
refused insurance, and they uecline To
accept any cargo until they can clear
