The fact that many states have en-
acted no laws or the subject together
with lack of Uniformity IN the laws OF
other states has deferred many per-
sons from engaging in the business
but 1t has been demonstrated that
many species of waterfowl. particularly
black and mallard ducks. can be raised
profitably on lands ursuited to asri-
culture and also in connection with
agricultural pursuits. There seems to
be a growing sentiment in favor OF
more uniform legislation in order tnat
domesticated birds may reach the mar
ket with the least inconvenience TO the
breeders, while at the same time the
protection Of Wild birds may be safe
guarded properly. This could be ac-
complshed in a simple and inexpen-
