Book excerpt: "The twenty-fourth annual summary by the United States Department of Agriculture of federal and other game laws and regulations is here presented to aid in the administration of the migratory-bird treaty act and the Lacey legislation for the use of law-enforcement officials, sportsmen, conservationists, and others. It is published to the end that the laws for the protection of game and birds shall be properly observed. The dates here shown for open seasons on migratory birds are the result of Federal and State legislation, the Federal regulations operating in many cases to shorten the seasons fixed by State statute. It is only by observing these dates that hunters can avoid violating either Federal or Sate law. Provisions relating to methods of capture, game refuges enforcement of laws, disposition of fees and fines, and matters of minor importance are omitted. These may be found by reference to the laws themselves, pamphlet editions of which some are obtainable in most of the States from proper officials ... Provisions relating to seasons, licenses, limits, possession, sale, and export, and a few miscellaneous matters are set forth under State an d other governments, alphabetically arranged, thereby furnishing a brief convenient synopsis of the laws.'"-- p.[2]
