MIGRATORY BIRD ACT.
Biological Survey Tells CT Results OF
Game Laws.

SdT1e Laws.
The massage Of the migratory bird
treaty act, it is estimated, has resulted
in a total return, in actual food value
20 the hunters of the United States, of
more than s2O,0OO,0OO. State officials
have notified the biological survey OF
the Unit d States department of agri-
culture that in Minnesota alone hunters
report 2,05S, 400 ducks killed in 1913. AS
each of these birds may be considered
to have a food value OF at least 10 cents
the to,al rsturn from them in food TO
this one state was about $1,5Oo,OOO. II
it had been possible TO sell these birds
tlly would have brought twice that
amount. The great va.ue of game TO
the country is thus made evident.
That the passage and the enforce
ment OF the law preventing spring
shooting and marketing Of migratory
game birds is now producing excellent
results is pointed out by officials OF the
biological survey. without such re-
strictions they say the game birds not
only would be greatly reduced IN num-
Der, but in many instances would be
brought near extinction. The biologi-
cal survey, which Is charged with the
enforcement of the federal law and
regulations protecting migratory BIRDS
is receiving reports from all sections OF
the country showing that with the pro-
lection now enjoyed by the birds their
numbers are increasing each year, and
that they are returning in spring to
numerous breeding grounds which they
have deserted for several years.
In addition to the food va ue Of the
game thus assured by continued pro-
lection, the restrictions on shooting
made by the law tend TO pcrpetuatc
hunting as a sport. This has u recre-
ational value through outdoor pursuit
in building up their physical health and
strength of the more than 100000
hunters in the United States who so
with the guns every fall.

Knocked Him CoId.S

Lloyd McNair, Southern railway en-
gineer, related laughable incident in
the experience Of the late Barney
Brickman, Southern engineer, who ran
between Yorkville and Columbia for
several years, few evenings ago:
Barney was running out Of Charles
ton," said McNair, land he had negro
fireman named John Williams, who
didn't have any more sense than the
law allowed One morning coming out
Of Charleston, Barney ran over negro
and killed him near Ladson. 1t was an
unavoidable accident in which Barney
was in no way to blame Coming
back next day as he approached the
point where the negro, was killed, Bar
ney was very naturally thinking of the
accident the day before. AT just the
point where the negro was killed John
jumped down off his box and shouted
at Barney, Yer knocked him head
over heels All excited Barney threw
his brakes into emergency, and ex-
claimed whats the matter? Yer
knocked him head over heels repeated
John. What was it?' asked Barney as
his train came to a stop. "A little
English sparrow said John. and there
came pretty near being another negro
killed right there" concluded McNair.
"as Barney was some mad at John"

Crop System.

Crop System.
Governor Cooper has issued a proc
lamation indorsing the action OF The
American Cotton association in setting
aside December 20 as Live at Home
Day." and urging the farmers Of the
state to gather at the respective coun-
ty seats on that day and pledge sup
port In the effort to raise more food
crops and less cotton next year.
The governor urges hearty cooper
alton on the part of all c'asses Of peo-
pie in an effort again to bring about n
stabilized state with prosperity at ev-
cry hand. The proclamation Is as fol-
lows:
"King Cotton has long reigned su-
pi eme in the fertile fields of Dixie, but
the people of our Southland are now
standing with reluctant feet on the
verge Of a new era in our agriculture.
1t has been said that the darkest hour
comes just before dawn, and Il Is my
firm belief that beyond the vale Of trib-
ulation, through which we haze tray
ed for the past two years liss q Pc
riod of unparalleled prosperity. Our
hope lies In the diversihcatioh Of our
crops, better marketing facilities, In
raising commodities for our own use,
and in keeping our money in icircula-
ton among ourselves by buying what
we cannot raise at home from our own
merchants and manufacturers
"The Am7rican Cotton association,
realizing the Importance OF strict ad-
hererce to these principles, has desig-
mated the goth day of December as
