weather has been very favorable for
maturing the grain, thus insuring an
excellent quality, and the yield is
bound to be good. Soon the threshing

IMPORTANT GAME
LAW CHANGES
The recent session of the state leg
islature was productive Of more i'm
portant and constructive game and
fish legislation than any session for
many years and fewer injuries or in
| judicious laws were passed than US
ual. This was owing largely to the
! fact that the game and fish commit
/ tees of both houses and senate were
well manned and gave careful and
!; conscientious consideration to the
questions before them, and that the
bodies as whole were willing to take
the advice of the committees which
had made the study of the questions
involved.
T Briefly considered the several laws
affecting the conservation Of game
land fish were as follows:
/ General Hunting License
/ Heretofore the hunting license law
has required all residents Of the state
hunting big game to hold license,
but has permitted persons hunting
small game in the county in which
they reside to do so without license.
This was amended so that all res
j Iidents. are required to have license
for. small game except Of persons
hunting on the land on: which thev
reside. This privilege is also extend
}adsto lessees as well as owners OF
Hand. sand to members Of their in1nnefs:
iates families. This act is considered
i the most imnortant law AFFECTING
i preservation of game passed at the
s session as it will greatly increase tht
revenues Of the state and go lone
way toward making the department
of game and fish self-snpporting
