Show FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS WASHINGTON, D. C, Sppt. 17 In making their plans to shoot migratory waterfowl, hunters will do well to note tho dates of open seasons under both federal and state laws. This caution by the United States department depart-ment of agriculture results from evidence evi-dence of contusion in tho minds of some sportsmen in regard to the opening open-ing of the season when the dates conflict con-flict under state and federal laws. The federal law and regulations limit lim-it the seasons before and after which no one may shoot these birds. If a state law opens the season later or closes it earlier than the dates prescribed pre-scribed by the federal regulations, the season in that state is just as much further shortened. Special attention is called to the fact that the federal regulations do not authorize anyone to hunt or kill migratory birds contrary con-trary to the state law. States With Conflicting Dates In certain states, as, for example, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Ken-tucky, Missouri and South Dakota, the I season for shooting migratory water-1 fowl under the state law would open , prior to tho date of opening under the federal regulations were it not for the fact that the federal regulations supersede su-persede state laws in such case of conflict, and prescribe for these states September 1G as the beginning of the open season. Under the migratory bird treaty act regulations, it is lawful to hunt waterfowl water-fowl (except wood ducks, elder ducks and swans, for which their is no open season), rails, coot, gallinules, Wilson snipe or jacksnipe, black-bclllcd and golden plovers, yellowlcgs, woodcock apd mourning or white -winged doves during the open seasons prescribed by the regulations. The several states, however, are authorized under the treaty act still further to protect migratory mi-gratory birds. j Sale of Birds is Prohibited I Under the treaty act and regulations the sale of all migratory birds, other than propagated waterfowl, is prohibited prohibi-ted throughout the United States, except ex-cept for scientific or propagating purpose. pur-pose.
