TO Be ENFORCED
sportsmen Warned That the Federal
Regulations for Protection Of Wild
Fowl Must Be Observed.

Washington. Aug. 1i.-with the APP
proach of the open season for shoot.
Ing wild fowl. the United States De-
partment OF Agriculture Is warning
sportsmen that the Federal regula
lions as amended October l. 1914,
will be strictly enforced. Some mis-
understanding has arisen from the
fact that the various State laws do
not always conform to the Federal
regulations. This Is regarded as UNI
fortunate. but In such cases the de.
partment must insist upon the oh.
servance OF the Federal regulations.
The department will consider any
recommendation submitted In good
faith for amendment OF the regula.
lions. but will hold no public hearings
thereon. nor will II amend the regula
tons prior to October Is. 1915. II Is
the purpose OF the department to con-
form the regulations to the wishes OF
the majority OF sportsmen so far as Il
can be done and at the same time
give wild fowl the necessary protec.
ton.
Federal regulations divide the
United States into two zones Zone
No. I. the breeding zone. includes the
States OF Oregon. Idaho. Colorado.
Nebraska. Iowa. Illinois. Indiana.
Ohio. Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
and all States north Of them. Zone
