CONNECTICUT AND NEW JERSEY PROVISIONS.— Laws of 



New Jersey and Connecticut on the shipment and tagging of game are the 

 same as those of New York with the exception that Connecticut requires 

 the tagging of live as well as dead pheasants and New Jersey forbids the 

 shipment of live birds outside the state until they have first been offered to 

 the Board of Fish and Game Commissioners "at a reasonable price." 

 Connecticut makes no charge for her tags. 



New York forbids the bringing in from other states of pheasants unless 

 intended for breeding or stocking purposes, as explained in the introduc- 

 tory chapter. Neither Connecticut nor New Jersey follow her in this 

 inhibition. 



BREEDERS MUST REPORT.— It is provided under the New York 

 law that on or before April 15 of each year, each person to whom a breed- 

 er's license is issued shall make a report to the Conservation Commission 

 covering the period from October 1 to March 1 preceding, and stating 

 the total number of pheasants killed, sold or transported and in addition 

 the name of the consignee if any game has been shipped during the period 

 and the name of the game protector by whom the birds were tagged. It 

 is further required that such report shall be verified by the affidavit of the 

 person holding the license, or if the license has been issued to a corpora- 

 tion, by an officer thereof. 



Connecticut requires reports on birds sold or transported during the first 

 week of January, April, July and October, but does not demand an affidavit. 



New Jersey requires a yearly report on or before January 15 on pheas- 

 ants killed, sold or transported the preceding year and follows New York 

 in requiring an affidavit. 



THE LIVE PHEASANT MARKET.— The demand for five pheas- 

 ants comes principally from 



1. Established breeders seeking new blood. 



2. The large numbers of people who are taking up pheasant 

 breeding each year in this country. 



3. Clubs and individuals who wish birds for fall shooting. 

 Breeders having stock for sale will do well to advertise it in some 



approved medium and also to list it, giving numbers, sex and price asked, 

 with the director of the Department of Game Breeding, American Game 

 Protective Association, 2273 Woolworth Building, New York City. No 

 charge will be made by the department. Those in request of breeding 

 stock should also notify it of their wants, and it will thus serve as a conven- 

 ient medium for bringing buyer and seller together. 



PATRONIZE RELIABLE DEALERS.— In purchasing birds too 

 much emphasis cannot be laid on j)atronizing reliable breeders, even
