To acctunplish this we need three things: (^1) national control of migratory species; (2) universal [)roperty right in all game reared by individuals; (o) study of methods of bree(bng and rearing under control all kinds of American game biids. The third factor will speedily follow fr(»m legal authori/a- tion of game breeding, ('2), which is being accorded by rr- cent state laws. Follow ley'islation in \(>ur own state and work for this at every opportunity. As long as the State claims owaiership in all game, peoi)le cannot attord to raise it, and often the lawless trespassing and annoyance of hunters on private land make the owners wish that the game were exterminated.
