September to November so. To off
set heightened season, bag limit has
beer cnt from 0to 5 birds each day
There will be - open season for
either prairie chicken, woodcock or
quail in this county. This makes but
little difference, as chickens have been
reduced to chemical trace, woodcock
are far from numerous, while quail
have been protected for years and will
probably never be placed on the open
list again. Prairie chicken may be
hunted in some counties from Septem-
Der z TO October l.
Wild duck cannot be shot at any time
on the main waters of the Mississippi.
Elsewhere, and on sloughs adjaeen. to
the river, shooting is permitted from

TENDER 10 to February |, as usual, with
no bag limit. Open season on rabbits

Muskrats may be trapped on the
Mississippi river from Harch l to APP
I'll 10; in other waters November Is to
March Is. No bag limit.
AS many hunters go to and from the
hunting ground in autos, attention Is
called to a new law which prohibits
hunting or killing of any wild bird from
an automobile, motorcycle, or other
vehicle.
Keep in mind for next seasons fish
ing that the legal length of trout that
may be kept has been changed from
six inches to seven; pike from twelve
TO thirteen; pickeral from twelve to
sixteen.
No hunting license can be issued to a
person who has not taken out his first
citizenship papers, this provision hav-
ing been made to weed out the aliens
who make a practice of killing any thing
and everything. A license cannot be
issued to any person under fifteen years
