This writer' insinuates that the
farmer himself violates the law.
i don’t believe this is generally
true, and I trust there are few
exceptions! euch a drastic law
was absolutely necessary to pre-
vent total extermination, which
Was inevitable in the course of a
very few years under the old
law. and genuine sportsman will
respect th» law, Every one re-
members how the hunters for-
merly^ at* the .opening of the
•hunting season, rushed *to the
eountry in-two and three’s with
their trained dogs, and so what
they did not kill or the coveys
they found* frightened and scat-
tered them so, that- the -farmers
themselves could hardly get
bird for his own table. (I think
I ate one only, ljpt winter.)
The quail is one of the farmers
best friends: open- the craw • of
one and examine the contents,
ft will be found crammed
with weed seeds bugs and insects
of-every description. The same
Hrule applies to other birds
such as black birds, larks etc.,
but in a less degree. So if the
quail must be saved farmers and
sportsmen must alike unite toen-
force the new law,
The farmers feed the * birds
and preserve them. Who has a
better right -te,J,have some for
■fins tabte:
The momertt these '‘potHrunt-
ers"' with tHeir trained dogs
enter your farm, without your
permission, in pursuit of game,
they are tresspassers and liable
to prosecution.
