Editor Nonpartisan Leader, Fargo, N. D. Dear Sir: . Having seen- Mr. Feldner's write up on the game laws would like to answer same. Mr. Feldner says one coyote will kill more game than five hunters. Evidently Mr. Feldner does not know the hunter as well as I"do. A few years ago when coyotes were very plenty the chickens were also plenty. Now the coyote is almost a thing of the past and so is the chicken. In by- gone days .the chicken and coyote seemed to thrive together but when the hunting dog came upon the scene it very soon had its effect upon the chickens. Now when a coyote comes around and takes some one's turkeys they can get busy and get the coyote. Not so with your neighbor’s "dog. He may run the country over for miles and I think there are very few of them that will pass up a chicken’s or duck’s nest. Also when the hunting season opens our friends from town come out | and practically clean up the chickens and ducks in two or three days. Therefore the farmer who is very busy that time of the year has no show at all. I agree with Mr. Feldner as to allow- ing no hunters to hunt without a writ- ten permit from the farmers. For in- stance, if we farmers went in to towns on the vacant lots and in the back vards and began to shoot around promiscuously damaging fences, build- ings, etc., how long would the town people stand for it? I think about two and a half minutes. Nevertheless, these same town people think it is per- fectly all right for them to come out on my neighbors’ farms, pull up our fence posts, drive over our fence and leave the fence down. Also throw our pasture gates wide open and leave them. Now, I do not think this is a fair deal for the farmers. Of course, the farmer is not used to having a fair deal and is not supposed to have any such a thing. But anyhow I would like to see my neighbor and brother farm- ers wake up and let us hear what they think of this kind of a treatment I also think Mr. .Feldner is -about correct as to the sports making all the game laws and that they are liable to pass laws preventing the farmer from owning a gun for fear he might get a chicken or a duck. Now it is a fact that the sports have been very much concerned about the welfare of’ the chicken, but I have noticed that they make a law to protect them from the farmer, who must certainly be very hard on chickens. I live in a part of the country where chickens and especially ducks are fair-, ly plenty. I have an automatic and am a fair shot and have shot quite a lot of ducks. But in the fourteen years I have lived here I have not shot more than six or eight chickens and some of those were shot over a neighbor’s dog —the only time I ever hunted with a dog. However that once was enough to show me the great advantage of the dog. Now it is a positive fact that if the use of the hunting dog was entirely prohibited for three to five years us farmers would be able to get a chicken occasionally with a pitch fork or club. As to the law limiting the number of chickens a person may shoot in a day, it amounts to less than nothing. For instance, how many of the readers of this article have eyer known a bunch Oof sports to- stop shooting while there were more chickens in sight because of having reached the limit? Have never heard of such a calamity myself. When the season opens here, the first few days are more like a German bombard- ment than anything else I can com- pare it to. During the first few days of the open season, many times I have met bug- gies on their way back to town so filled with chickens and ducks they- were spilling here and there along the road. Of course, the sports had plenty g0 ‘did not mind losing a few. ~Now there is only one remedy for such de- struction. Cut out the dog, and it is up to us fariners to do the cutting out. I hope this question will be discussed enough so that our game laws will be properly - amended at the next session of our legislature. JAS. A. M'CULLOCH. HE UPHOLDS GOVERNOR Des Lacs, N. D., March 22, 1917. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am sending you a clipping out of the Co-Operators’ Herald, written by President Johnson of the State Union of the American Society of Equity. I do not know the man, but by the sound of his letter, he is not a friend of the farmers of North Dakota. . Mr., Johnson, don’t worry; the Sucker club will attend to the elevator. I have stock in the Equity elevator at St. Paul, and I for one uphold the gov- ernor for vetoing the elevator bill, Senate Bill 84 WESLEY FIFTEEN ADVERTISEMENTS What a Terminal Elevator Can Do Mr. L. E. Hauge of Michigan, N. D., shipped us a car of wheat that docked 13 1-2 1bs. per bushel. State inspection notation flax. We ordered it to our Terminal Elevator to be cleaned with the following result: We sold 99.35 net bus. flax from the car for ....................$286.92 We sold 99.35 net bus. screenings from:the . carifory i oo . $32.51 The dockage of 13 1-2 1bs. was made up as follows: 6 1-2 lbs. flax, 7 1bs. seed and oats. You will notice by adding the flax and screen- ings that the actual dockage should have been 10 Ibs. per bushel. This meant a saving of 3 1-2 1bs. per bushel at $1.92 1-2 would be 11 1-5¢ saving on this alone. The total profit to Mr. Hauge by~ having this car cleaned was 53 1-3¢ per bushel.
