A coWARDLY SURRENDER

Hutchinson Leader: The barbarous
spring shooting of migratory wild fowl
which has been practiced in Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Illinois and Kansas from time
immemorial was checked by the Fed
eral Migratory Bird law. An increase
in song birds and waterfowl has al
ready been noted in the northern states
as a result. Under more rigid enforce
ment the law would be. sure to result
in marked increase in bird life. VIC
lent opposition to ths law has been Or
.ganized in the states named and oppo-
nents are trying to kill the act in the
U. S. supreme court, where it is still
pending. Now comes the DEPARTING
Of Agriculture, and in -promulgating
new regulations under the law to go
into effect OH August 16, next, provide
for 80 day open shooting season for
waterfowl in the spring in the above
named states.
This sop to a selfish, unworthy oppo-
sition is an outrage in the states,
which, by their own laws are seeking
to save the birds from extermination
Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South
Dakota and the Canadian Provinces
are protecting the birds from shooters
during the period of migration, mat.
ing and rearing their young. The
states farther south should be com
PEELED to do the same. The Federal
Migratory Bird law was designed to
secure this result but it is being null
lifted by lax regulations.
There is organized opposition to this
new ruling among the true sportmen
of the states to the south of us, and the
sportsmen Of Minnesota, and all other
who oppose the murderous slaughter of
birds in the spring mating season,
should Immediately protest to the De-
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton, Bureau Of Biological Survey,
against this most unjust, unnecessary,
and outrageous concession to selfish in
terests.
The new regulations provide that
ducks and other waterfowl may be
shot in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebras-
ka and Missouri from February 8 to
March II, in addition to the fall open
season.
The Minnesota State Game and Fish
commissioner will be glad to forward
all protests and petitions to the pro-
per authorities which may be placed
in his hands. Immediate action is ne
cessary.

own, and is either put away: for them

on them.''
