GAME COMMISSIONER'S LETTER
Continued from Page 1.
I assert, without the fear of success
ful contradiction, that during the last
twenty or more years, during which
time I have been in close touch with
our several Legislatures, I have never
known one Churchman, from whom
because of professions we expect the
most, or one farmer, who derives the
most benefit from the lifework cf
birds, unless they were also gports-
men, to spend one penny of their
money or one minute of their time,
to assist in placing the laws upon
our books giving protection to birds,
Every word upon this subject placed
upon our Statutes regarding this
subject, during the last twenty years
at least, having been not only con-
ceived by sportsmen, but also through
their influence presented to
and at their instance passed by our
Legislature. These same men,
too, through the money paid for the li-
cense and tag Mrs. Black condemns,
supply the entire fund used for the
protection of game and wild birds of
all kinds in Pennsylvania. No man in
this State is asked to subscribe one
cent to this fund unless he hunts for
something protected by the Game
Laws of this Commonwealth. Not
one cent for this purpose is taken
from hospitals, or schools, or good
roads, or any other public interest,
for this purpose.
The sportsmen even pay the boun-
ty for the killing of a weasel or fox
that might destroy the farmers’ poul-
try and then when the farmers are
ready to sell pay the highest price
for the chicken that has been saved.
Sportsmen of this state are the men
and the only men’ who have said but
a few of our birds shall be classed as
game, to be killed at certain fixed
times, under certain conditions. They
are the ones who have said that cer-
tain of our birds considered more
harmful than beneficial may be killed
at any time, and that all wild birds
other than game birds and harmful
birds shall not be killed at any time
by any person for any purpose. The
sportsmen are the men who are see
ingto it that every person in this
State who kills a song and insectivo-
rous birds in this state at any time
shall be punished for such action. The
sportsmen are the men and the only
men in this state who are the real
friends of the birds, nad who show
their friendship through works, AND
THE BADGE ON THE HUNTER'S
ARM IS A MARK OF HONOR and,
not of dishonor. It designates the one
who has done more than talk for the
birds.
I wish it understood that there is
a material difference between a
SPORTSMAN AND A “SPORT.” The
sportsman is the man and the only
man who buys grain in the winter,
takes it on his back or in a hired
rig, and goes through cold and storm
to find and feed starving Bob-white
and his family, or the wild turkeys
in the neighborhood. I say the only
man, for while I have known hun-
idreds of sportsmen who for years have
been doing this , I have yet to meet
one man other than a sportsman who
has done this. I never knew even a
farmer to feed the birds uless he was
also a sportsman. I have known of sev-
eral farmers who have presented bills
to the State for damages done by a:
few wild turkeys, forgetting entirely
the lifework of the turkeys to them.
I know many farmers who by their
actions, at least, have said to the
starving birds around them, I know
you are hungry, I know the good work
you do in the summer time, I know I
have the grain that you need in my
barn, but that grain is worth $1.00 per
bushel to me. If I give you that
grain you will in all likelihood go ov-
er on to my neighbor's farm next
summer; he will get the benefit of
your lifework, and I will be out the
grain, so I guess I will just let mat-
ters slide as they are, and slide they
do, to the great injury of our birds
| and people. Along comes a sportsman,
buys the grain the farmer refused to
feed to the birds, scatters it for the
benefit of the birds, no difference
where they may be found, and the
next fall finds great “KEEP OFF” no-
tices posted everywhere and I won-
der who will feed the straving quail
in these places next year. I am led
also to inquire who is neighbor to
the birds. :
Of my own knowledge, I know of
thousands of quail purchased by
sportsmen and brought to this state
from other states for propagating
purposes. I never any other than a
sportsman to do this and am confi-
dent that were it not for the effort
‘and care of sportsmen there would
not be one living deer, or wild tur-
key, or quail in this stale to-day.
The sportsman is the one who learns
from actual contact with wild creat-

the treetops; everywhere. We do have
squirrels in the Capitol Park Grounds
in Harrisburg, but not one bird’s nest
could be found in all that park since
the squirrels were introduced, excep-
ting the nests of English sparrows
and pigeons whose nests are placed
in the electric light fixtures and such
other places to be reached only by
the use of wings. You must choose be-
tween squirrels and birds; you can-
not have both together and what I
