Union Issues Declaration.

TN order to let the citizens OF Vir-
ginia know what the Wild Life Con-
servation Committee of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union
propose to do we deem It wise at this
time to publicly express our views
says a circular just issued by Robert
c. Hart. of Apple Grove; r. Morgan
Shepherd. of Ashland, and II. P Bak-
er. OF Columbia. 1t continues:
I'VE propose to draft game law
which will protect our fast vanishing
wild life.
I'VE have no desire to stop hunting,
In fact we believe In encouraging hunt
ing. Yet we are unalterably opposed
to the ruthless slaughter of birds and
animals in the sname of sport.
I'VE believe the farmers land is
his own. and tina. no one has right
to roam over his property without
his consent. and that he should be pro-
tected against that class of hunters
now combing the woods and fields.
killing everything in sight. often his
domestic fowls and animals.
I'VE are not unmindful of the fact
that we are indebted to the Audubon
Society and the local and State Pro-
tective Associations for such Imperfect
laws as we now have. Yet we wish
to propose comprehensive measure
such as they have not been able te
have enacted and believe that the
sincere protectionists in these societies
will heartily endorse the bill We VIII
draft.
I'VE do not expect to vary from the
fundamental principles of real game
protection to suit the within OF any
particular class of hunters. We ex-
pect to build our proposed law upon
lines as recommended by our Agrf-
cultural Departments, both State and
national
I'VE will ask for a State Game De-
partment with warden system,
which will insure the enforcement Of
the law. This committee will be glad
to have suggestions from any citizen
and when not in conflict with real pro-
lection will use any OF these sugges-
tons that will add strength TO our
bill"
