Proposition No 80 proposes take away from cities

The proposition to public property is without

Fourteen Game Preserves Are Now
Located i'm State, Says Report
Pratt. Kan. April 24.-Kansas now
has fourteen game refugees, established
under the law passed by the last leg
islature. These are located on farms
with a minimum of l6O acres.
Game birds on these refugees are
under state protection. But the stock
ing OF the state with game birds by
the state is not confined to these
refugees by any means. Alva Clapp,
state fish and game warden, reports
that this year he is sending out 1000
pheasant eggs. as compared with last
years distribution of $50,
Last fall 100 pairs of young pleas
ants were distributed. and this spring
664 quail were sent out to forty coun-
ties. In this distribution the birds
are sent particularly to counties in
which game birds are scarce
The farm owner who converts his
land into a-state game refuge agrees
that neither he nor any member OF
his family will hunt game birds on
the farm for five years. nor will anyone
else be permitted to hunt them. This
agreement may be renewed at the end
of the five-year period. Farmers are
DESTROYS of having quail and pleas
ants on their lands because of value
as insect destroying agencies. The
refuge owner also agrees to see that
there is ample feed for the birds, TO
plant food and cover. to kill hawks
and predatory animals which might
modest them and attend TO their well
fare generally.
