Dear Sir:
The State Game department o.
Maryland very reluctantly informs thu
sportsmen and those persons interest
ed in the propagation of game that !,
will be impossible to obtain Cottor
Tail rabbits for distribution in the
counties of this State, for the follow.
ling reasons:
A contract for 6O5O Cotton Tail rab'
bits was placed with broker in Kan
sas and Missouri early last fall fol
delivery to this State during the
months of February and March with
assurance that the order would be
filled.
A few days ago this broker advised
it would be impossible to complete the
order, due to the mild weather in Kan
sas and Missouri, and sickness on his
part. In explanation of the term
"mild weather." the broker advised
the farmers who are usually employed
to do the trapping remained in the
fields blowing and naturally deemed
it more advisable to look after their
own interests than trap rabbits for
which they are paid a nominal sum.
Just during the opportune time for
trapping the broker was confined to
his home with a severe case Of infiu-
enza. Then again at this season of
the year the rabbits will not stand
shipment.
The Department did everything in
it's power to purchase rabbits through
other sources but was unsuccessful.
OF the $3.50 rabbits ordered less than
400 were shipped.
The Department exceedingly re-
grets this state Of affairs; however,
it hopes the sporting element will ap-
preciate it's position, realizing we did
all within our power to purchase rab-
bits for restocking the covers of this
State. We hope to have better sue
cess next season.

O State Game Warden.

I want to tell you that your paper
is improving very much; and always
glad to hear the news from our old
home town. I could not be without it.
Wishing you still further success, /
