MIGRATORY BIRD HUNTING.

Hunting of migratory birds in the State
of Delaware during the coming shooting
season will be absolutely controlled by
Federal authority wherever the new Fed
eral law relating to these birds is in con-
tiict with State law. This is the warning
issued by the Department of Agriculture
in statement as to the bird season Tues
day.
Delaware is in the southern, or winter
ing zone as distinguished from the north
ern or breeding zone, for these birds.
Under the Federal regulations for the
wintering zone, the general rule is that
the open season shall be from October
to January 10. Delaware, however, has
its open season from Nov. l to February
/. This is permitted by the Federal au-
thority. Other States in the same zone
that have adopted the same shooting sea-
son for water fowl as Delaware, are Mary
land, the District of Columbia, Virginia,
North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana.
Delaware and Louisiana also shorten
by two weeks the general season for
hunting woodcock. They permit this
only from November Is to Ian.
uary /, while the Federal rule is to per
NIT it from November l to January /
Rails, coots and gallinules are to be
hunted from September to December /.
Delaware conforms to this rule. The State
also agrees in the Federal regulation that
shore birds-black- breasted and golden
plover, jacksnipe and yellowlegs- shall
be hunted only from September l to De-
cember 10.
The department announces that insec-
ivorous birds are protected indefinitely. !
Band-tailed pigeons, cranes, swans, cur
ews, and small shore birds are protected
until September l, 1918. Shooting is
prohibited between sunset and sunrise. |
The department will consider any rec
submitted in good faith |
or amendment of the regulations, F" it /
but it will not hold public |
hearings thereon, nor will it amend the /
prior to October Is, 1915. It |
S the purpose of the department to con-
orm the regulations to the wishes of the
majority of sportsmen so far as it can be
lone and at the same time give wild |
owl the necessary protection.
During the last Congress, Representa-
i've Brockson, of Delaware, was particu-
arly active in securing changes in the
federal law affecting the season for reed

SCHOOL NOTES.

To Pupils of Rural Schools Wishing tc
Enter Milford Schools in September.
Because much uncertainty regarding
the examinations set for August 20 exists
in the minds of pupils outside town, and
some fear of the entrance tests seems to
prevail in some cases, it may be helpful
if give the following statement.
For information l wrote Supt Carroll
at Dover, and letter received this morn
ing contains the following from him:
Your letter duly received. In reply
would say that this examination is for all
outside pupils who wish to enter the
graded schools. 1t has no reference to
those who were in the schools last year.
When the pupil is admitted to your school
you can place him in any grade you may
think best. This is an examination for
the 9th grade pupils, but all who wish
to enter, regardless of what grade they
have completed, must take this examina-
ton. No pupil can be admitted to these
schools who does not have certificate
from the Superintendent, Il:
This makes the matter clear enough, I
think. The one examination is actually
for admission to the 9TH grade, and any
pupils showing good reason for being
placed in a higher grade will be tried in
that grade, when schools open.
All pupils who present themselves for
admission on September 7, or at any
time, should bring their latest reports
from other schools.
Pupils who have had any fear about
the examination should dismiss it, re-
if ambitious and eager to
secure the opportunities of our schools,
that they have nothing to lose in such a
.est, and much to gain.
