Linebaugh, United States Game Protector for Kentucky and Tennessee has been in this section for two or three days looking over the situation with reference to the shooting of doves. Mr.

Linebaugh states that under the new Federal regulation, effective for the first time this year, it i3 made a vio lation of the federal law to shoot doves and birds before twelve o'clock or- the opening day of the sea- son and "he has asked the News-Jour- nal to give publicity to, this in order to prevent persons from ignorantly vio lating the regulation. The dove season opens both under the state and federal law on September 1st, but it will be a violation of the Federal law to shoot these birds before twelve o'clock on that date? Such a violation carries wth it a penalty of a five hundred dol- ler fine and- imprisonment" for six months; either or both, in the discre-t'on of the court, and prosecution in the Federal court. The Protector savs tnat is tux, me deslre of the government to take snap judgement on the peoplef and for that reason all publfcity possible is being given to this new regulation before the opening of the dove season. But at all persons found violating this regulation will be arrested and prose cuted in Federal court. The state law sets out the bag limit as fifteen birds per day.

Washington, 21 U.R) Reverting to the pioneer method; or bartering one commodity for another, the federal farm board today seemed to have' found a market in Brazil for part of Its surplus wheat. The Brazilian government in Rio De Janerib announced officiary that it had deliverd to the United States government an agreement providing for exchange of 1,275,000 sacks of coffee for 25,000,000 bushels of wheat.

At the same time the larm Doara was prepared to negotiate thei Chinese government for sale of 15,000, 000 bushels of wheat on long term credit. This would be used to feed famine and flood victims. The Brazilian and Chinese sales would reduce the board's wheat stocks by 40,000,000 bushels. It now holds a total of about 275,000,000 bushels. Delivery of 25,000,000 bushels of wheat to b'-lazil In exchange for coffee would represent the largest export of wheat ever made to Brazil by tiMs'coun try.

Brazil recently has imported very little unmilled American wheat and only about 800,000 barrels of flour an-nually, the equivalent of 3,860,000 bushels of wheat.
