Q risburg Reserves have shown re-
markable desire to practice with
their shotguns the last week or SO.

Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, the veteran
s secretary of the State Game Com
n eastern states following the confer
n ence of game commissioners in New
S York. The doctor has been one of
s those who had opinions of his own
t about the federal action against reed
y bird shooting. He found other state
officials who had the same ideas
and they had an interesting inter
] change of views with people from
Washington. DIR. Kalbfus is hope
full that when the folks down south
discover that what is called the reed
bird in the northern states and the
bobolink further north is the one
that destroys rice fields that there
will be a change in procedure. The
reed bird, he holds, should be legal
game here as the state law makes
1t, because of the damage that the
bird does and the food supply it
furnishes. On his way home DR..
Kalbfus was in northern counties
and found sportsmen keenly inter-
ested in the bear which are reported
as fairly numerous and inclined to
raid hives
