The- Object op this magazine- is 

 to Make- North America the 5iggest 

 Game Producing Country in the World 



ANOTHER PROCLAMATION B\ THE PRESIDENT. 



NOT "OTHERWISE THAN BY SHOOTING" 



Our objection to the regulation providing that birds produced must 

 be taken "otherwise than by snooting" has brought results. We 

 were told by the Survey that it had the right to make regulations. 

 But the answer that the regulations must be reasonable; that they 

 must not interfere with our readers and that they must not be in 

 violation of Sec. 12 of the law left no ground for the regulation and 

 it has departed. 



Sec. 2 of Regulation 8 as Proclaimed by the 

 President now reads as follows : 



"Migratory water fowl, except the birds taken 

 under paragraph 1 of this regulation (birds 

 taken for breeding stock) , MAY BE KILLED 

 BY SHOOTING only during the open season 

 for waterfowl." 



We take great pleasure in praising the Survey for its prompt action. 

 We always like to see governmental matters as well as others 

 speeded up. We always find more pleasure in praising the right 

 than in denouncing the wrong, and in the 'future we suggest that 

 when the Survey proposes to take any action relating to Game 

 Breeders that it consult headquarters first — 150 Nassau St., N. Y., 

 will reach us. We do not approve of U. S. criminal laws being made 

 overnight in a back room in the Woolworth Building, N. Y., especially 

 when by one fell swoop they destroy all the customers of the game 

 farmers. We shall be glad to look over any proposed criminal laws 

 before they are made and in this way we may save some time for 

 the President, who will not be called on to Proclaim so often.
