THIRD BIENNIAL STATEMENT 141 



of season, we urge these additional protective measures 

 for the wild life of North America : 



Acquire marshes, waste woodlands and mountains with- 

 out number, and make them sanctuaries for all kinds of 

 valuable wild life. 



Plant annually quantities of kaffir corn, millet and sorg- 

 hum cane to furnish seed for wild birds. 



Plant millions of berry, nut and seed bearing bushes, 

 trees and plants as special food for wild birds. This will 

 go far toward protecting cherries, grapes and other fruits 

 from attack by robins and other birds that we can not kill. 

 Good species to plant are wild cherry, mulberry, juniper, 

 mountain ash, hawthorne and juneberry.

Tie up all roaming dogs from May 1 to Sept. 1 each year, 

 and save the ground-nesting birds from their rapacious 

 jaws. One free-hunting hound does more harm than 20 

 sportsmen. 



Kill all hunting or traveling cats. 



Kill weasels, coyotes, great horned owls, barred and 

 screech owls, Cooper, sharp-shinned and duck hawks; and 

 crows and night herons whenever they start in to feed on 

 ducklings. 



Confiscate the gun of every gunner convicted of killing 

 game illegally, or of trespassing when hunting. 



In states like New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts, 

 permit no alien to own or to use a gun. ("The Pennsyl- 

 vania alien gun law is constitutional," says the U. S. Su- 

 preme Court.) 



All gentlemen sportsmen will respect the rights of owners 

 who post their lands against hunting; and all game-hog
