Last Day of Hunting Season

January 31st is the last day on
which wild ducks and geese, coots,
gallinules and Wilson snipes or jack
snipe may be hunted anywhere in the
United States under the federal law
which ~prescribes seasons on migratory
game birds. This law, which is adj
ministered by the Bureau of Biologi-
cal Survey of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, provides,
however, that the carcasses of birds
killed during the open season may be
possessed for an additional period of
ten days following the end of the sea-
son if State or local laws do not pro-
hibit it. The possession of c~arcasses
of wild ducks, geese and other migra-
tory game birds in cold storage plants
after February 10th renders the own
ers subject to prosecution in the fed
eral courts.

SIGNERS FOR TUBER-

Each week is bringing in many adj
ditions to the list of cattle owners OF
the county who have signed the petit
ton for a county tuberculosis test.
Ten have been received by mail from
the township of Hammond in the last
three days. Several other townships
have done as well. At the present
rate we should be able to get the nee
essary go % of the county signed up
by June 1. A recent letter to the coun-
ty Agent from DR.. o. HI. Eliason,
State Veterinarian, states that tests
now in progress in Ashland, Douglas,
Oneida and Washburn counties will
soon be completed and work will be
started in Chippewa and Rusk coun-
ties about May 1. Work has been
finished in Barron, Lincoln and Wau-
kesha counties. Petitions are being
circulated in Dunn, Polk, Marathon,
Eau Claire, and st. Croix counties.
Will st. Croix be the last to get the
required so 20 signed up? We think
not. Part of DIR. Eliason's letter fol-
lows: whether your county would
be able to get assistance, during the
coming season would depend entirely
upon how soon the petitions are pre-

funds"
