PRAIRIE CHICKEN IN DANGER Iowa Game Warden Suggests a Oloze feason of Three Full Years. TWO WET YEARS MAKE BIRDS SCARCE License for Residont Hunters in Also Proposed, Which Would Thirty Thousand for Game Protection. (From a Staff Corregpondent.) DES MOINES, Nov. 20.—(Special.)—George A. Lincoln of Cedar Rapids, state fish and game warden for Iowa, raises a warning cry in his biennial report just filed with Governor Cummins, in regard to the ex- tinction of the prairie chicken in lowa. He calls atteption to the fact that two sea- sons have been wet and unfavorable at the breeding season and the result is that in many parts of tho state no wild chickens are to be found. Unless something is done to give the chickens a chan for life the birds will soon be a thing of the past and he, therefore, recommends that the state absolutely forbid all killing of prairie chickens for three years from next Ju He reports quail as numerous, and the two seasons have been excellent for rais- ing ducks. He would recommend a chhnge in the open season for quail, shortening it to the perlod from October 16 to December 1. He would abolish the spring shooting season for ducks, geese and brant and make the open season from Eeptember 1 to Janu- ary 1 only. roposes Hunter's License. As a further protection, not only to game birds but to song birds, he would have a law for a resident hunter's license with spe- cfal restrictions against shooting birds on Sunday. He belleves that every sportsman in the state I8 In favor of such a license law and that $30,000 annually would be thus realized for the state as a fund, out of which the deputy wardens could be paid. In regard to wholesale killing of birds the warden would extend the limitation of fitty birds a day to aquatic fowl as well as to grouse and similar birds. He would also have some improvements in the law to pre- vent unlawful shipments out of the state of prohibited game. Milllons of Young Fisk In regard to fish the warden gives sta- tistics showing {hat there were distributed in two years by the United States Fish com- slon ove 500,000 fish, which were placed in Towa streams or along the Mississippl. But the past seasons were not good for fish. The extremely high water caused many fish to get out Into the ponds and bayous and even Into the cornflelds and it has been difficult to herd them back into the rivers. The distribution of fish by the state com- mission has stopped because there was no appropriation for the work. A large number of seining permits: have been issupd under the new law, and while thers has been complaint because the seining disturbs the spawn the warden believes this can be ob- vlated by care. The new law against dyna- miting has been effective. In regard to the Bonaparte dam the warden reports that it is now open for the passage of fish, thanks to the floods of last Spring. The warden asks for an: appropriation of $16,00 to carry on thé work, as follows: Protection and * distridfjtjon ‘of fish, 35,000. payment of deputy fish wardens, $3,000; transportation of fish car, $1,000; protection of game, $2,500; paying deputy game war- dens, $1,000; assistant fish warden's salary, $500; gathering fish at Sabula, $3,000, The June bill of expenses and all since have been unpaid because of lack of money. The warden has had 124 prosecutions in the bien- nial period, with eighty-five convictions. The @ cosis paid amounted to $4,- 3U.42. The state last eighteen cases. Jall sentences were imposed In twenty-one cases. Interests Agriculturists. The second week in the coming month will be one of great activity among the people of Towa who are interested most in agricultural pursults and collateral lines. The state farmers' institute mests and with it a number of other ailied as- sociationg, including the State Horticul- tural soclety and the State Park and Forestry assoclation. The forestry as- soclation, which was fermed at a meeting held two years ago in the state house, is one of the growing young assoclations of the state and its members are engaged in promoting the work of making parks and preserving forests in the state. Prof. Thomas Macbride of the Jowa State uni- versity is the president of the assoclation, and men interested in agriculturat pur- suits and in the science of forestry have generally taken hold of it. The program this year will be interesting hecause it is expected that steps will be taken to ar- range for some legislation that will assist in the preservation of forests and a sys- tematic effort to increase the ,number of trees grown in the state. The association has committees on legislation, on ways and means, on civic improvement and municipal legislation and other subjects. In the afternoon of December § the as- soclation will meet with the horticultural soclety and in the evening of the previous day the horticulturists will joln with the forestry assoclation in & program.

Diteh Legislation A number of the legislators who have been in the city recently have indicated thelr intention of work' .z for some needed legislation in regard to drainage districts in the state. This is true In all parts of tho state, for the state drainage and ditching laws have not been operative, and there has been much litigation on the question. The demand is for a law that will enable the county authorities to set apart certain districts for drainage purposes and provide ior taxation v make iong ditches. No That the state of lowa is a little back- ward /in the matter of legislation for the betterment of the condition of workers was made manifest again when the secretary of state recelved a request from Marshall Cushing, secretary of the National Asso clation of Manufacturers, for coples of laws relating to the elght-hour workday and the shorter workday generally, and for d cisions of the courts affecting such legis- lation. The secretary of state was unable to find any such laws and turned the mat- ter over to the state commissioner of labor and Mr. Brigham answered Mr. Cushing to the effect that Towa has no legislation on the subject and no decisions have therefore been made. “It might be added,” volun- teered the commissioner in addition, “that the shorter workday is a popular movement among our employers, merchants and wage- earners, and is rapldly growing in favo: such matters are amlcably arranged be- tween the parties In interest by agreements or contracts usually made annually, and all in strict accord with the closed shop principle, which has been found to be the most satisfactory principle for continuous and profitable operation of industries.” Contest Among Normal Schools, of the Interstate Wanted, uort Hour Laws.
