HUNTERS READY
FOR BIG SEASON
NEW YORK
City's Hunters Find Plenty of
Game in Easy Reach of
Manhattan.
100,000 ARE EXPECTED
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN.
NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 23.—About
one hundred thousand New Yorters of
the aort that are supposed to be bound to
the pavement for life, and never to get
* breath of fresh country air or to roam
In tho woods and fields, have furbished
up their arms, bought ammunition and
ate ready to take the hunting field to*
day when the deer season opens.
These are not all or even mostly
wealthy and well-to-do New Yorkers who
own cars and membership In clnbs and
things like that.
Many of them are poor workingmen.
If they had the misfortune to live In
some rural sections, where the game is
not well protected except on posted lands,
they would stand little chance of a day
of recreation In the hunting field, but
Uvlng In the greatest city In the world
In a State where game protection is prac-
Itaed scientifically, these chaps can get
I real day's sport for the price of a car

Journey at most.
So diligently has New York protected
Its game that there Is even good shoot
ing within the city limits.
Small game Is fairly abundant on parts
of Staten Island, and the rabbit hunters
also find good sport in Flushing and
Jamaica, while Jamaica Bay for the last
years has been really full of ducks.
Barren Island, where the city dumps
its dead horses, is a good place for
shorebird shooting, and can be reached
frm most parts of the city by the ex
penditure of a dime.
Os course, various police regulations
restrict the shooting in these urban
district, but they none-the-less furnish
New Yorkers with sport every year.
If you can afford more than a car
ticket and as much as a whole day of
time you can get much better sport by
going from twenty to forty miles into
the country.
Long Island, despite its large popula
tion, contains a variety of wild country,
and Is one of the best natural game
and fish regions In the world.
You can find almost any sort of sport
you want on Long Island, from digging
clams and catching crabs to hunting
foxes with hounds.
There are deer on the Island, too, and
they are on the Increase, but deer hunt
ing la not allowed, chiefly because of
the danger of shooting high-powered
rifles so near civilization.
Grouse, quail, woodcock and ring-neck
pheasants, rabbits and squirrels make up
the attractive list of small game.
The pheasants especially are on the In
crease, many of them being raised every
year on a State game farm and liberated,
while eggs and young birds will be
turned over to any one who is willing
to help in this work of stocking the
coverts.
Long Island furnishes a surprising
variety of fishing,too, all kinds of salt
water fish Inhabiting Its coastal waters,
while its streams and lakes contain trout,
bass and pickerel.
I’OOR MAX HAS
ACCESS TO ALL.
You would expect that all of the best
hunting and fishing on Long Island
would be owned by private Individuals
and preserves, and that the poor man
would be shut out from the outdoor life
as he 1s in so many regions where the
land Is not controlled by the Forest
Service or some other public agency.
The Forest, Fish and Game Commis
sion here says that this Is not the case.
Most of the lands of the island are
farm lands.
The law requires that If the farmer
wants to keep out hunters he must pest
his lands with a sign at least a foot
square every forty rods.
Most of the lauds, It Is said, ars not
posted.
Tho hunters have learned that It Is
not good manners to break fences and
shoot cows, and most of the farmers are
tolerant of tho sportsmen.
There are many stations in good hunt
ing country In Long Island where you
can get off the train, shoulder your gun
and strike out across country without
being molested.
In the same way, while some of tho
bast duck-shooting points are' controlled

by clubs, there are many other places j
where anyone may hire a ducking boat
or a sink box and go out In quest of j
game.
Most of the fresh water fishing and
practically all of the salt water fishing j
is open to all comers.
Indeed, there are probably five anglers j
in New York for one hunter.
The thing that restricts the number j
of hunters going -put from New York is j
that very few of the people of Hebrew j
descent, who make up such a great part I
of the population, care for sport.
He has little taste either for killing !
or for wild meat.
The Immigrant Italian, on the other j
hand, coming from a country where the
hunting was poor and where he could
not, perhaps, even own a gun, is eager
to go afield.
Equipped with a cheap single-barrel
shotgun he goes out and shoots every
thing he sees, Including song birds,

A large percentage of the violations of
the game laws In the vicinity of the
great city are of this nature.
The system of game protection which
has kept game abundant In the vlqinlty
of the great city is not one of rigorously
restrictive legislation.
In many states It is sought to protect
game by allowing very short shooting
seasons, which are generally not enforced
with any success.

New York, on the other hand, allows
generous open seasons and bag limits,
but the laws are rigidly enforced.

I In the winter he often feeds it.
' There Is at least one such game po
liceman In every county In New York,
and In the neighborhood of the city there
aro several to a county. Each of these
Inspectors sends in every week a card,
which Is filed, telling what game he saw
during the week and what vermin he
killed.
In this way the inspectors in charge
of the district can form an accurate Idea
of conditions anywhere, and of whether
game Is Increasing or decreasing, and
legislation can be modeled according to
need. .
On the first days of the open season
THINK of the Christmas days
that have gone by without
your getting that New Edison,
which would mean new joy and new
inspiration for the whole family—a
new breadth of pleasure and hap
piness for every member.
And all the while life is fleeting
on.
You can have your New Edison
this year; you can make this Christ
mas one to be remembered through
all the years; you can have a New
Edison, if you act now, on terms that
you can meet without inconvenience.
Think it over—seriously 1 The New
Edison is one of the very best of the
good things of life.
Come in and let us explain the
Edison Shop Budget Plan, which
opens the way to easy buying. Do it
tomorrow, and be sure of your New
Edison this year.
In the vicinity of New York City a
vertiable army will take the field, and It
will sound as though a battle were In

for all and a great deal left over.
New York has shown that by syste
matic protection game can be made to
afford recreation for all who care to
seek It, even in the most thickly settled
portion of the United States.
