Vh effectiveness of the movement
to protect migratory birds on the
North American continent has been
greatly increased by the ratification
of a treaty between the United States
nd Great Britain extending uni
form protection In the United States
and Canada to birds migrating be
tween the two countries. This Is
shown in the annual publication of
the Dureau of iDologlcal Survey of
the department, relating to game
laws, recently Issued. The publica
tion. Game Laws for 1916. is issued
as Farmers' Bulletin 774.
Besides the ratification of the
treaty with Great Britain, the most
important occurrences during the
past year relating to the regulation
of hunting in the United- States in
clude the change in classification of
West Virginia, Kentucky. Missouri,
Kansas, Utah, and Nevada, from the
wintering zone for migratory birds
to the breeding lone, and the crea
tion of Bcve.ul additional national
parks and monuments which become
bird reservations.
In addition to changing the state
classifications, the amended regula
tions Issued by the president permit
shooting on the Mississippi river
.above Nebraska City: open the sea
son on certain shore birds during the
last two weeks In August In New
.. Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Vir
ginia, and on reed birds on and af
ter September 1 in North Carolina
and Georgia: open the waterfowl
season somewhat earlier In Massa-
- chusetts, New York, New Jersey,
South Carolina, and Georgia: prohib
it shooting of migratory birds In ev
ery state after February 1; protect
wood ducks at all seasons through
out the United States instead of in
one 1; and protect shore birds in
California and woodcock In Kentuc
ky until 1918.
Two new national parks, one on
Mount Lassen, Cul., and the other on
Mount Kllauea, in Hawaii, were es
tablished by congress; bills were
passed acerptlng the cession of state
. jurisdiction over the Crater Lake,
Oreg., and Mount Rainier, Wash.,
National Parks, with provision for
resident commissioners and enforce
ment of the laws, and amending the
Yellowstone Park net so as to facili
tate protection of the park and pre
vent poaching. Provision has also
been made for the establishment of
game preserves on lands purchased
for the Appalachian forest. Under
Executive proclament the Eieur de
Monts National Monument of about
5,000 acres on Mount Desert Island
in Maine was created on July 8; and
by executive orders two new bird re
serves were established, one on Goat
Island, In San Francisco Bay, on
August 9, and the other, comprising
four lakes on the Platte reclamation
i I'roject in Nebraska, on August 21.

Virginia and Mississippi were added
to the states having stale o dicers to
administer the game laws. All but
two states. Florida and Nevada, now
have such officials. During the year
Virginia repealed all laws in conflict
with the federal mlgrntory-blrd law.
Eleven states had previously made
their laws conform in whole or In
part to the federal laws. These
states are California. Connecticut,
Maine, Michigan. New Hampshire,
Tennessee. West Virginia. Illinois,
and Washington.
Under present conditions, the pub
lication shows, deer hunting is per
mitted in 36 Btntes. in about a third
of which the hunter is limited to one
deer a season and in most other to
two. Sixteen states and Alaska pro
tect does at nil seasons and allow on
ly bucks to be killed namely. Ala
bama, Arizona, California, Idaho,
Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico,
New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn
sylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West
Virginia, Wisconsin and Alaska.
Pennsylvania requires that deer kill
ed shall have horns 2 inches above
the hair; New Jersey, visible above
the hair; Utah, visible above the
head; New York. Vermont and Alas
ka, at least 3 Inches long; and West
Virginia, 4 Inches long; while Calif
ornia prohibits entirely the killing of
spike bucks.

Why The Increase?
Because it is a Clean Market for Clean Live Stock. "
It is the most modern Live Stock Market in the world, over $1,600,009.00 having been
expended during the past six years for improvements and betterments, Insuring ibip
pers the very best and most efficient facilities for the prompt handling and marketing
of stock.

Crop Condition Novcmlwr 1
The yields of corn range from very
poor in some of the southern coun
ties to an excellent crop in many of
the eastern and northeastern coun
ties. It happens that the greatest
drought damage occurred in the win
ter wheat belt where the acreage of
corn is not as large or Important.
Corn. is far from normal but is a
good average crop for the state. The
quality Is generally excellent as
there was only u very slight damage
from frost and the weather has been
most Ideal for proper drying.
Winter wheat and oats weigh out
well, thfl average weight per bushel
being higher than usual. Spring
wheat and barley are somewhat light
In average weight per bushel due to
damage from rust and drought.
The yields of potatoes in the east
ern sections exceeded expectations.
i The average yield for the state is
less than 75 per cent of a normal
crop.
The total production of apples is
considerably less than a half crop.
Many of the farm orchards are so
badly Infested with fungous diseases
and Insects that a marketable prod
uct cannot be produced. The com
mercial orchards generally produce
a very high class of fruit but as yet
this Industry Is quite limited.
The yield of sugar beets will be
fully up to the average and there has
been a very large Increase In acre
