Federal and State Authorities CO.
operate in Protection Of
Game

The migratory water fowl and
shore birds are to have better protec-
ton throughout the United States
and Canada this year than ever be-
fore owing to the treaty between the
United States and Great Britain
which has been ratified by both
countries and for the enforcement of
which laws have been passed and ex-
ecutive orders have been promulgat-
ed
On July 81 President Wilson made
public the regulations under the law
which will govern the taking of
migratory birds in the United States.
Under these regulations the open sea-
sons are named, bag limits fixed,
and other restrictions provided for.
These are intended as the maximum
seasons and limits and do not super
cede the state laws unless the latter
provide greater latitude.
The open season in Minnesota will
begin Sept. 16 and close as provided
for in the state law-Sept. 80 on
prairie chicken, sharp tailed grouse,
Wilson or jacksnipe, greater and less
er yellowlegs- 80 on Mld duck,
geese, coot, gallinules, rails. The
quail season opens Nov. 1 and closes
Nov. 80.
The daily limit for shooting migra-
tory birds is from one half hour be-
fore sunrise until sunset. This is a
federal regulation only. Following is
the sunset and sunrise schedule for
the open season from Sept. 16 to Nov
30:
