THE GAME LAWS.

Cooperate For Their Enforcement.
Broken Game Laws mean less
game and less sport for the hunter
and less business for the SPORTING
goods people connected with the in
dustry. Every person has a person
al influence which counts in theii
community and can preserve a great
majority of the game for the future
generations by helping prevent vio-
lations. This can be done by re-
questing the public of your com
munity to not only observe the Game
Laws, but working in cooperation
with the State Game Department for
the upbuilding of the natural re.
sources of this State.
If game of any kind is plentiful in
your locality try and keep it $, b.,
insisting that all hunters thorough
observe the Game Laws of our State
Had there been a Bag Limit and
same had been observed in years
past, there would be to-day ar
abundance of birds and game ami
mails in every locality of this State.
In fact it is not too late now to save
enough game this season to assure
the sportsmen ample shooting fol
another season by observing the Bas
Limit and leave breeders in our
covers to propagate during the Sea
10 f0f a CT
for any person who hunts to try 1nt
kill the last bird in bevy or the last
piece of Game they can find. After
bevy of quail is shot down to from
to 6 birds, they should not be in
terrupted any more during the hunt
ing season, but left alone as breeders
to propagate for next season. AS
time and experience have proven
that unless we have production dur
ing the breeding season, we will not
have good hunting during the opel
season on Game, and to gel produc
tion the sportsmen, landowners and
others must unite and work in co
operation with this Department to
see that the birds in their locality
get the proper amount of protection
and food during the time they need
it the most, which is not only during
the breeding season but also, during
the winter season when food is
scarce, especially when the earth i;
covered with snow and sleet, and
food is unavailable for birds ant
game.
, Reports from throughout the
State are to the affect that game O.
all species are plentiful in our covers
this season, and the sportsmen
should be afforded excellent hunting
This Department has used every
means and every effort to increase
the game supply in this State, and
from reports our efforts have not
been entirely in vain, however, TO-
further increase the supply we must
have the cooperation of the public in
the enforcement of the game laws.
We earnestly request every person
" SCCuIO tHClA AuhIAh6 AASOhoS NAAN
arm tag (Which is furnished free)
now, and put the license in your
hunting coat pocket and have youl
tag sewed on the left sleeve between
elbow and shoulder, where it will be
handy in case Warden asks you to
let him ssee it.
When the time comes for you to
start ON your hunting trip you will
have enough to think about without
having to wait to make application
for hunters license.
/. You will undoubtedly do some
during the coming autumn,
and it is not bad idea to secure
your license now, and have it ready. /
In doing so you will greatly relieve
the CONGESTION at the Office Of the
Clerks of Court, which occurs each
year about ten days prior TO the
opening of the season on upland
game.

State Game Warden.
