GAME LAWS VS. KNOWLEDGE 
While the penalties of the law, no doubt, are effective in restrain- 
ing a great many in the killing of game out of season, or in exceeding 
the limit of kill during a given period, the one thing which will offer 
sure protection is the growth of knowledge and the development of 
a sense of honor and justice in relation to the protection of game. 
The man who goes out and wantonly slaughters game for the 
love of killing needs a good strong penalty and is richly deserving 
of it, if such penalty overtakes him. That man needs understanding 
and a sense of honor which education of some sort can alone bring 
to him.—Bakersfield Californian. 
THE TRESPASS LAW IN ALABAMA 
Alabama successfully reduces the amount of hunting by requiring 
each gunner to obtain a written permit from a landowner before 
shooting on privately owned land. 
MINNESOTA ADVOCATES FEEDING QUAIL 
Carlos Avery, Game and Fish Commissioner of Minnesota, has 
issued a card giving directions for the feeding of quail. Loose straw, 
dead grass, and corn fodder are recommended as material for shelters. 
Screens, wheat, barley, rye, buckwheat, weed seeds or corn are sug- 
gested as feed, together with a small pile of sand for grit. A pint of 
food is recommended as a sufficient daily ration for an average covey 
of 15 to 20 birds. Attention is also called to the fact that the Bob 
White is beneficial to agriculture and is highly prized as a game bird, 
and that mink, weazels and house cats are dangerous enemies of these 
birds. 
HARD WINTER ON WOLVES 
Wolves generally cause great damage to game during the winter 
months and the past year was no exception in some localities. In 
others, however, the wolves have suffered far more than the game, 
owing to the great depth of snow and the ease with which these 
animals can be hunted and killed in deep, soft snow.—Fin, Feathers 
and Fur (Minnesota). 
COMMISSION FEEDS DEER AND QUAIL 
The unprecedented snow storms in the northern and mountain 
districts brought to light many interesting things in connection with 
our birds and animals and no doubt proved very enlightening. One of 
the things demonstrated was that the non-predatory birds and animals 
nearly always seek aid from humans when hungry or in distress. 
Large numbers of deer, quail and other birds came to ranches where 
domestic stock were fed. They also came to the edge of many towns 
as though looking for aid from the residents. ‘The extreme conditions 
demonstrated that deer are much more numerous in Northern Cali- 
fornia than was believed—California Fish and Game Bulletin.
