ADDRESS OF GEO. P. McLEAN. 
(Continued from page 528.) 
ern States, and I am glad to see that representa¬ 
tives of the Southern States are realizing the 
exact situation with regard to this important 
matter. They have received from Congress 
millions of dollars to help them find the best 
means of staying the ravages of the boll weevil 
and the cattle tick and other insects which they 
have in that southern part of the country, and 
I am glad that they are to-day giving attention 
to the results of the investigations of our own 
Agricultural Department in this line which has 
for years recommended to them the protection 
of the insectivorous useful birds; and the gen¬ 
tleman from Louisiana (Mr. Alexander) who 
just addressed you very effectively, brought to 
your attention the upland plover, if I under¬ 
stand him correctly, although he called it by 
a name that I had never heard before. The 
plover is one of the birds which spends its 
time destroying these weevils in the South, and 
very likely the plover which are hopping about 
the farms in the South, and which the hoys 
until now have always killed and still want 
to kill, are busy destroying the weevil and the 
tick and so saving the South from millions 
and millions of dollars of loss every year. I 
might go on for an hour instancing the neces¬ 
sity of effective protection of the useful birds; 
but as I say I haven’t the time. I regret that 
I cannot stay and hear you gentlemen swap 
views and experiences in the protection of game 
in your several States. It is a very interesting 
subject. I wish that I could stay and listen 
to your views with regard to the effect of the 
modern protective game legislation in the several 
states.' Personally I have had some experience, 
and as I say, I have been interested for years in 
the subject, and I am wondering how effective 
these modern laws are in the several states, the 
shortening of the season, the bag limit, the non¬ 
export law, and the non-sale law, and I am 
wondering whether in your judgment as the 
result of these laws the game is gradually in¬ 
creasing or going the other way, and whether 
in your honest judgment the whole trend must 
not he toward more and more restrictive leg¬ 
islation. I know in my section of the country 
with the constantly increasing ease with which 
the hunter gets to the cover, with the constant 
improvement in the methods of destroying and 
decoying the game, that the game with all our 
modern legislation is constantly decreasing. I 
know that the game commissioner is always 
tempted to take an optimistic view and report 
an annual increase of birds if possible. That 
is natural, but it is my observation that con¬ 
sidering all our efforts to protect not only our 
migratory but our non-migratory birds, they 
are decreasing, and I am afraid very rapidly. 
When you realize that in a little State like 
mine we issue 25,000 licenses or more a year, 
and we have perhaps a thousand square miles 
of indifferent cover, and we shorten the season 
as we have to six weeks, it concentrates the 
attack upon the game every year; and with 
the motorcycles and automobiles and the fear 
on the part of the gunner that he isn’t going 
to get his share, we have an assault upon the 
birds in columns of hunters, almost, especially 
in the covers where anything is supposed to be; 
and if we cut that season to a month or even 
two weeks, you can realize what a thousand guns, 
less than half the number of licensed gunners 
would do- Ten guns to the square mile work¬ 
ing a week or two weeks means extermination. 
Now it is very difficult to conceive of any other 
way than the shortening of the season and the 
limit of the bag, but you and I know that as
