Mr. Baker protested against es-
tablishing an open season this year 1 for Hungarian partridge. “We I know." he sp-ld. "thot the Minister lot Agriculture paid for the cap- ture of Hungarian partridge in this vicinity during the winter, I that they might be placed in oth- ‘er parts of the province where ~ they would increase. and probably Igive us s larger area in which | those birds would be available. If lyou take a radius about Char- ' lottetown, you will have about the _only grounds in which there are

There ,are parts of the province where there are not one of those birds Iyet, and I object that when the Fish and Game Association ask for a season for Hungarian part- ridge this year, they are asking for [something for which the sports- men of the province as a whole I cannot avail themselves of.

Icontinue the closed season until such time as those birds are dis- tributed throughout the province." Mr. Mustard drew attention to an amendment passed in l936.pi'ovid- » ingthatif migratory orgame birds Ishould under extraordinary con- - dltions become a serious injury to

Mr. Jones said the first clause
was unnecessary because it. is dealt with in the Migratory Game Bird Act. “All these penalties are provided under the treaty with the United States. Why duplicate it in this Act?"
Mr. Saville asked if the Act
permitted snaring of rabbits. He objected to this practice, as it was not sportsmanship; it “didn’t give the rabbit a chance at ull," and the rabbit is the only game animal we have in this country.
Ministerial Control
Hon. Mr. Dennis moved that af- ter the section the words "except with the written permission of the Mirilst/er of Agriculture" be added.
Mr. Jones: “The Minister of Ag-
riculture has no authority except in case of partridge."
Mr. Mustard: “That would mean
that any hunter who gets the writ- ten permission of the Minister of Agriculture can allow his dogs to run at large."
The amendment was carried. Sec. 5 (di provides a penalty of
$10 to $50 for exporting or at- itfllllii-i-H8 to export out of the pro- vince any game taken or killed in the province.
Hon. Mir. Dennis moved the same
amendment, that the words "with the written permission of the Min- istcr of Agriculture" be added. He doubted whether there would not be interference with dominion reg- ulations.
Mr. Hughes: "Would it not be
better to add a section to the end of the Act that the Minister of Agri- culture can do anything."
Hou. Mr. Dennis explained that
the department was now arranging to export a number of Hungarian partridge to Ontario.
Premier Campbell: "I em not
sure that this subsection is within our Jurisdiction.
The amendment carried; B60. 6 (ai provides a similar pen-
alty for anyone “who uses or at- tempts to use a. rifle or other fire arrns loaded with bulletsor bullet within the province for the pur- .rlose of huntlns some birds, except as may be permitted under the Ml- Hfntory Birds Convention Act."
M11 Mustard: "Does that mean
that ii’ you load your rifle outside me Province you could come here and shoot."
Mr- Cox: “No. no." (laughter). Subsection (b) penalizes the use °f ‘filly machine, automatic or PUIHD gun for the purpose of hunt_ ing °l` killing game or game birds."
ml-Ion. Mr. Dennis objected that
ere was no reason why pump
Elins should not be allowed, since the bas is limited. He moved an amendment accordingly.
Mr. Acorn maintained that pump
suns were prohibited in the Feder- al Act.
Hon. Mr .Den is: “

Mr. Saville: "I move that the
words ‘rablts or hares' be added to subsection 6 (f>." M1* Hil¢h@BI "If the present
slaughter of rabbits for fox ranches keeps on we will have none very shortly!
Hon. Mr. McGuigan: "That is it
new provision, that you can‘t seil.‘
Mr. Jones moved that in sec. 2
the maximum penalty be applied against the killing of beaver.
Mr. Acorn dbjected to permn.
ting lmrcs or any other animals to be caught, to feed foxes. Our game is too scarce, and we must protect it.
Hon. Mr. McGulgan asked why
a man should not be allowed to buy partridge, if he wanted to.
Rabbit!
Mr. Jones said hares will in-
crease one year "till _vou will see one under every bush." and in a few years time you will see none. These are periodic increases and
decreases, not due to shooting oi them at all, but to the fact that a plague comes and wipes them out. That occurs every eight or nine years.
Mr. Saville: "Why shouldn’t the
boys have u chance to shoot them when they are plentiful. because they won't get the chance in a few years anyway?"
Mr. Acorn asked for a division
on Mr. Saville's motion.
Mr. Linkletter: "Many places
would be overrun if they were not allowed to shoot them. Whyshould they be' wasted?"
Mr. Acorn: “They are out west." Mr. Linkletter: "We are speak-
ing of our own province. There are thousands of rabbits being shot
I by poor people. It helps them along. They don't take stock of
the season; they will kill as long the Provincial Treasurer, be paid‘
I as they can. If you cease to give I permission. the farms will be over- Ii-un, and the people will miss ' them who have lived on them."
Mr. Barber agreed with the last
speaker. He knew of several fam- ilies who were on relief during the last two or three years. Who made something by catching rab- bits and selling them. The stores bought them for about 25 cents I. palr and resold. them again. He did not think it would be 110551519 to enforce this section in that part of the country, because there was a great deal of woods, and poor people will be continually catching rabbits in the mst part of the winter. There would not ‘ be anything for it but send them to jail, if convicted.
Mr. Savi1le‘s amendment was
put and carried. Mr. Acorn ob- jecting.
Sunday Fishing
Hon_ Mr, Allen raised the ques- tion as to the legality of ilshiiig on Sunday.
Hon. Mr. l..ePage asked if there
~ was anythmg in< the Act to pro- I hibii. sunday fishing. Mr. Cox: "No." Hon. Mr. LePage: “I think lt
ought to be held over till we get -ir."
Mr. MacKinnon: “Isn‘t there any
law that prohibits that?" I Mr. Jones: “About thirty years ; ago, when Arthur Peters was Premier, this question came up. about fishing on Sunday. It was brought in by t.he~ Lord’s Day Al- , liance, and Premier Peters got up
h a ace to fish on
on Sunday.”
Mr. MacPhee: “I think it was a
six days in the week to fish." Sec. 7 makes it unlawful "tc fish
trout or salmon to belfed to foxes, mink or other animals."
Hon. Mr. Allen thought. the im-
portation oi' dead trout should not
Sec. 8 provides:
duty of all constables. policemen,
' officers and constables of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Market Clerks, to enforce the provisions of this Act, whenever the infringement thereof comes under their notice, under a pen- alty of not loss.-tllan $5 for each omission of duty."
Hon. Mr. Allen protested that
this was a drastic measure. Aman
Mr. Acorn expressed approval of
the section.
It was carried. Sec. 9 provides that the "klll-
ing, taking, having or vending contrary to the provisions of this Act of each several bird. animal. or egg, shall be deemed to con- stitute a separate odence.”
Mr. Hughes: “In view of the
fact that there is a maximum pen- nity of $50 I would move that this section be struck out."
Motion carried. Hon. Mr. Allen: “I move that
the section stand."
Mr. Stewart: "I move that it be
reconsidered."
Motion carried. Hon. Mr. Allen: “If the motion
is to have it struck out Iwlthdraw the motion."
Sec. 10 penalizes every common
carrier or person acting thcrcforc who at any time knowingly carries or transports out of the province any species of game.
Hon. Mr. Allan: "There is no
question that we have no right whatever to legislation with regard ,to export. This section does not mean anything."
Mr. Acom: “The clause corres-
ponds with clause l2 in the old Act."
* Carried. Sec. ll provides for appoint-
ment by Lieutenant Governor in
Cguncii of li game inspector and w rdens, and outlines their duties.
Hon. Mr. l’..ePage: “The Mounted
Police could do that work, and they might be appointed: but I am pretty safe in saying that this
pense of employing extra men to

Mr. Acorn: “I think that am-
endment is a good one. Simply because I happened to be a resi- dent of the Island, why should my son, l. non resident. have any pri- vilege that any other non-resident has not? Thatlookslike classlegis- lation."
Mr. Saville: "I think it is going
too far." '
Mr. Hughes: “I would movethst
the section stand." Motion carried. Sec. 18 provides that all nnes,
fees or other monies received un- der authority of the Act, shall be paid to the Provincial Treasurer.

Bkunks
Sec. 31 provides for continuimo-
of the skunk bounty-
Hon. J. A. Campbell said he be-
lieved there was "a leak" some- where in this skunk bounty busi- ness. There was something wrong “I want this information from the Minister: when a skunk is calif- ured, the head and the feet ale taken into the Department oi’ Ag- riculture. I want to ask him do they destroy the head and feet, or what do they do? Do you allow the man who takes that in to take it back, and pay him the bounty for the second time? I say this thing is not right. There is some- thing wrong some place. I say that there never were enough skunks caught in Prince Edward island that would justify this de- partment paying out at the rate of thousands of dollars. Wo should have something to prove that the number of skunks is correct as advocated by the Department. And my hon. friend has no proof. Hc has nothing to show. They come in here with the hczid and feet and he admits that they are al- lowed to take the head and feel and come back again for more. l am surprised ur, my hon. friend the Minister of Agriculture. He is not always asleep. My exper- ience ls that he sleeps with one eye open. But in this case he has absolutely failed to give an 80- count of the number of skunk: that have been ri:$itly captured. I say that the Minister. when the head and feet come in-the first thing for him to do is to put the head and feet in ri bag. and if it is above his dignity to do the trick. -then lot him get somebody to do it, fir lifni." (Laughter).
Mg. Linklettcr: “I know a. young
fellow who captured two femalo skunks, but by the appeainnce oi' them he thought ills family might grow, so he waited with the result that he raised two goodlit- ters of skunks and sold them to the Department of Agriculture."
Mr. Mclsaac said the section
provided for sending in the fore- feet. W’i'ia.t about the hind feet. How does the Minister know which end of the skunk is sent in? (Laughter) Or does the promoter think that those skunks have only two feet? Then the man could come back with the head after- wards. Hon. Mr. Dennis: "We don't pay
for the feet or the head or the tail of the skunk, but the snout of the skunk is taken. I made it my business to inquire as in how the operation was performed. I un- derstand that the snout of the skunk-ho is upside down-is cut upwards, but not cut through the skin, so that the party who hal charge of the piivimiiii of iliosi snouts will know that it isnskiini. He must show tlic two stripes or the nose of the skunk. He is pal: on that. And when lie is paid on that all the shouts are burned."
Mr.lVl'.aoPhee: “You are not. put-
ting any in bags?" ibauglitcrl. Hon. Mr. Dennis: "No, no." Hon. Mr. McIntyre siiid he ull-
derstood from a reliable authority that not- only the head and feet are sent in. but there are imitat- icns. ,l-Ie heard that what looked like a piece of a skunk‘s sliout \\-as sent. to Mr. Jenkins, and llicrc were a couple of stripes. imitated with plumswne. And as Mr. Link- letter has stated, people are rear- ing skunks in order to sell them to the Department of Agriculture. He believed an effort should be made io get rid of them altogeth- er in this province.
Mr. MacKinnon asked if it was
not possible for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick troopers to soil the skills over ilirro nlzcl Colne over here \\1'tli thc siiniiis.
Mr. Jones said that in Now-
foundlancl there is ii bounty on crows of fifty cents. and there is quite a business lierc of shooting crows and sending them dowri to Ncwfoiindland for tlic bolillty, The same thing might be going on in Nova Scotia-sending theilskunks here.
increase In Bounty
Hon. Mr. Dennis: “Within the
last week or ton days our Depart- ment has increased the bounty on
skunks from 5? cents to $1, only up to March 5, with the idea that we may be able- to get the old hussy before she has the young."
After some further discussion,
program was reported.

bell, t.he following bills were read the third time and passed: The County Court Act; An Act to Amend the Souris Incorporation Act: The Division Fence Act.
