Brill Ml HHOUTINQ IH ritOIIUilTED From the number of letters which they have received on the subject re cently, officials of the department believe that sportsmen may uninten tionally violate the provisions of the , federal migratory bird law, which. It la the purpose of the government to enforce rigidly. Under the provis ions of this law no waterfowl can be shot In the northern or breeding zone after January 15, except In New Jer sey, where the season extends to Feb ruary 1. In most of the southern or wintering cone the season closes February 1, but extends to February 16 in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. These regulations were proclaimed on October 1, 1914. No change has since been made In them, and no change Is likely to be made until the constitutionality of the law has been passed on by the United States supreme court. As a matter of fact, the law provides that all changes In the regulations must be considered for a period of ninety days, and then must be approved and signed by the president before they become effective. It is thus evi dent that there is no possibility that the prohibition of spring shooting will be in any way modified this year. The officials of the department who are intrusted with the enforce ment of the law are anxious that these facts be Impressed upon the people because It Is the Intention to Investigate carefully all reports of violations made to the department' Inspectors and wardens and to prose cute all such violations In tho federal courts. In this connection It Is point ed out that prosecutions may be In stituted at any time within three years of the offense. To Kill the ltodentn. v Time and experience have fully demonstrated the futility of virus as a rodent exterminator, particularly squirrels, gophers and mice posts. Nearly all forms of poison have given way to strychnine, and for this pur pose there is nothing better than a strychnine-coated wheat. The cupid ity of manufacturers has in many cases led them to diminish the amount of poison below the safety point, with the result that It has proven worthless In use. Disappoint ment has also arisen through improp er coating. Farmers today are de pending more and more on the well tried, tested brands of coated wheat for the destruction of squirrels and gophers. No stock, fruit, grain or alfalfa grower should Jeopardize his crop by failure to act promptly this season. These rodents are now asleep; . . . . .
