PRACTICAL GLASS BLOWER 
Favors Federal Law. 
United States District Attorney C. R. Porter, of Cen¬ 
terville, La., in response to a request from United States 
Marshal N. F. Reed, holds that the migratory bird law 
is valid and enforceable in Iowa. The question has been 
raised whether it should be enforced except on the Mis¬ 
sissippi and Missouri rivers. Mr. Porter holds 'that the 
season now is closoi on all interior points, as well, and 
that the marshal will be justified in enforcing it the 
same as any other Federal law. 
Three Uses for Frogs. 
Big green bullfrogs are in demand on the farms of 
Kansas, according to L. D. Dyche, state fish and game 
warden, who is distributing fish from the state hatch¬ 
eries. 
“Some farmers say they want them to eat,” Mr. 
Dyche is reported to have said. “Others want to hear 
them sing, while others say they just want them around.” 
Mr. Dyche said five thousand tadpoles had been dis¬ 
tributed from the hatcheries this spring.

New Preserves in Iowa.
