AUSTIN. Aug. 29-LPJ- Texas
nimrods will enter the fall hunting
season with one Of their most per-
picking problems solved. The prob
lem arose due to a conflict between
the state and federal laws regulat-
ing the killing of mourning doves.
The last session Of the legislature
however. harmonized the two sta
tutes and divided the state into
north and south zones.
Open season in the north zone
Is in September and October and
in the south zone in October and
November.
The line dividing the north from
the south zone starts on a line OF
the Rio Grande directly west Of
Del Rio, east to Del Rio, and then
east along the Southern Pacific to
San Antonio. From San Antonio the
line follows the 7. and @. N. rail-
road to Austin and then follows the
II. and T. c. railroad to the Brazos
River: and then runs in a general
northerly direction to where the
Beaumont branch OF the Santa Fe
crosses the stream. II then follows
