GAME FOR PROPAGATION. 
The subject of transportation of game for breeding purposes is 
one that has received too little attention at the hands of lawmakers. 
In some States the prohibition against export is so broad a,s to include 
not only dead game, but also live animals and birds intended for prop- 
agation. Legislation aimed directly at the sale of live game for such 
purposes is found in at least one State, Montana, which declares that 
any person who shall willfully catch, trap, or otherwise restrain for 
the purpose of sale, or domestication, or any other purpose, any buffalo, 
elk, moose, or mountain sheep shall be guilty of a mi.sdemeanor. 
Maine has recently inaugurated a departure in requiring every person 
who imports any game to lirst .secure a permit from the commission 
of inland fisheries and game, under penalty of a fine of $50 to $500. 
Delaware, Nevada. North Carolina, and Tennessee have stringent laws 
prohibiting the export of quail, dead or alive, out of the State. 
One of the objects of the Lace}" Act is ''to aid in the restoration of 
such [game] birds in those parts of the United States adapted thereto 
where the same have become scarce or extinct," and to that end the 
Secretary of Agriculture is authorized "to purchase such game birds 
and other wikl birds as may be required therefor, subject, however, 
to the laws of the various States and Territories." Laws prohibiting 
the export of live birds from the State tend to interfere seriously with 
the accomplishment of this purpose. It would seem that a free inter- 
change of game birds for restocking depleted covers should be a matter 
of mutual interest to all States that desire to restore the former abun- 
dance of game.
