courageous men will be engaged in this work. 
So, at a glance, one can see that this department 
is not without strength. 
Financially, this department is destined to be¬ 
come one of the wealthy departments of State 
Government. The license fees alone will bring 
into its treasury more than fifty thousand dollars 
each year, to say nothing of the fines, forfeitures 
and penalties. 
The Game and Fish law provides that open 
seasons for quail, partridges or bob whites shall 
be from November 15 to February 15; for doves, 
from July 1 to October 1; turkey gobblers may 
be killed from November 15 to May 1; the turkey 
hen must not be killed for a period of five years; 
squirrels are protected from October 15 to Janu¬ 
ary 1; deer must not be killed except during the 
month from December 1 to January 1. 
Under this law there is a limit as to bag dur¬ 
ing the hunting season. No one person is al¬ 
lowed to kill more than one deer in any one 
day, nor more than five in any one season; the 
killing of more than twenty game birds in any 
one day by a hunter is a violation of law; the 
killing of over ten squirrels in any one day is 
prohibited; the sly and cunning fox is given a 
chance for his little white alley and must be 
actually overtaken by the dogs in regular chase, 
and must not be chased during the months of 
April, May, June and July. 
Violations of this law are considered mis¬ 
demeanors, and the punishment to be inflicted 
when one is found guilty ranges from $10.00 to 
$500.00. Farm sentences may be inflicted in 
some cases for violations of this law. 
The department of game and fish having just 
been created, the State Game and Fish Com¬ 
missioner was appointed by the Governor of the 
state. In the year 1919, the State Game and 
Fish Commissioner will be elected by the qualified 
electors of the state at large. 
The present incumbent and appointee of the 
Governor is the Hon. Z. A. Brantley, an attor¬ 
ney of ability and a gentleman of pleasing ap¬ 
pearance and address. He does not believe that 
it is necessary in order that the best results may 
be had to enter upon a campaign of prosecution 
or persecution, but believes that it is only neces¬ 
sary to convince the people that the protection of 
its'wild game and fish life is indeed vital, in 
order that the wild game and fish may not be 
numbered with the things that are no more. He 
earnestly solicits and gladly welcomes the aid 
and advice of all true sportsmen and feels the 
necessity of a co-operation of the entire citizen¬ 
ship of the state. He desires to make new 
friends and intends to hold his old ones, at 
the same time realizing that he must serve the 
people and enforce the laws. 
So Mississippi has now joined the ranks where 
are to be found many states that have decided 
to conserve its wild game and fish life.

Deputy State Game and Fish Commissioner. 
FROM HERE AND THERE 
Now that the fresh-water fishing season is 
well under way, reports of large sized fish being 
caught are drifting in. 
F. A. Cook, of Gloversville, N. Y., fishing 
recently at Wheelerville, landed an exceptional 
brook trout that was twenty-two inches long 
and weighed four and one-half pounds. 
Lovers of the “Pound-for-pound fish” will envy 
the reported catch of Dan T. Watts, of Portland, 
Ore., who hooked into an old grand-daddy of a 
black bass. It tipped the scales at 7 pounds 10 
ounces. 
The Association of Commercial Club Secre¬ 
taries of the Black Hills, S. D., in which each 
community has a membership are making exten¬ 
sive plans for taking care of tourists expected 
this year. Camping sites with tents are being 
arranged. A committee will go over the differ¬ 
ent highways, mapping out the best routes for 
tourists. Since June 4th, the Burlington Rail¬ 
road has put on a buffet observation coach on 
trains stopping at the Hills.
