Pheasant
Season Open
Sat-, Oct. 10
Cut To Three Half-Days Fol
lowing Survey By The
Department
HUNT IN 81 COUNTIES
Scarcity Of Birds Reason For
Short Season-Limits
Designated

A limited pheasant season Of
three half-days will open Saturday
noon, October 10th, and will con-
tinue Sunday and Monday, October
18th and 18th. Shooting will be per-
mitted on each Of the three days
from II o'clock noon to s p. m.
The above season was designated
following a second survey made by
the Department Of Conservation,
in which it was found that ring
necked pheasants were scarce and
that foundation stock would be
jeopardized by a longer season.
Scarcity of pheasants is caused by
a much below normal spring
hatch.
Fifty-two Of Minnesota's 81 coun-
ties are open to pheasant hunting
this season. These counties are:
Traverse, Grant, Douglas, Big
Stone, Stevens, Pope, Stearns, Sher-
burne, Swift, Kandiyohi, Meeker,
Wright, Hennepin. Anoka, Wash
ington, Lac qui Parle, Chippewa,
Yellow Medicine, Renville, Mcleod,
Carver, Lincoln, Lyon, Redwood,
Brown, Nicollet, Sibley, LeSueur,
Scott, Rice, Dakota.

Murray, Cottonwood, Watonwan,
Blue Earth, Waseca, Steele, Dodge,
Olmsted, Winona, Rock, Mobiles,
Jackson, Martin, Faribault, Free
born, Mower, Fillmore and Hous-
ton. All other counties are closed.
Three male birds or two males
and one female may be taken by
one person in any one day. Five
male birds or four males and one
female may be in possession Of one
person at any one time. The season
limit is 10 male birds or eight males
and two female birds per person.

society, finding British Bible So

South America, promptly hands

Some of the agents are paid, some

The chief incentive Is to get Bibles

motor dealers think about getting
