ASPECTS OF THE MINNESOTA GAME 
CODE. 
Continued from page 336. 
selling number of prosecutions for law breaking 
in the chicken country simply because the law 
is not violated as it once was. Market hunting 
is a thing of the past. And in no section of the 
State is the effect of law enforcement by spread¬ 
ing a knowledge of it more apparent. 
Moral suasion has done more than policing 
service in the chicken country. It has resulted 
in a greater number of licenses being issued 
every season. In the thickly settled farming 
communities of the central and southern part 
of the State there is a wonderful increase in 
the numbers of flocks of birds. This can be 
accounted for chiefly because the birds have 
had a chance to mature before being fired upon. 
Also those birds remaining in this section after 
spending the winter there have been unmolested 
during the nesting season and have thrived. 
There is some after-season shooting in these sec¬ 
tions, for the birds are not thick enough during 
the season to warrant one in hunting them. They 
come in from the breeding hills further west as 
the winter presses them into a country where 
the waste grain of the hills is more plentiful. A 
greater number of birds will remain in sections 
in which they feed, during the winter, if they 
are not shot into after the close of the season, 
for the closing date is generally in advance of 
the time when the flocks migrate. These things 
should all be made public through the press, for 
they are a means to an end.
