2 d of Birds above mentioned in the fields e have a feast, and while they gather the hunters come along, and we get in ad row with them sometimes, as some of them have even Bottles along out of which they drink and be a shooting left & right & by so doing my son Paul very nearly got killed by one at one time as he was shocking up Alfalve hay. Now worthy Professor could I urge you to lay this before one (or all) of our Legislators, who in your mind would take the most interest in the matter? If you lay it before them it might have 10 times better afact as if we farmers lay it before them. But let me tell you: If we cannot stop shooting these kind of valluable inocent Birds, we will some near day be overun with Grasshoppers, of which do now cut off the Seed Bulbs, so it does not pay to cut any for Seed anymore, also the cut worms spoil many of Alfalve kills & large spots. And it is acknowlaged by Ill. Bankers that our Nebr. Alfalve has raised the price of land $10.00 per a. and the fall Wheat another $10.00 per a, but shall we have all this destroyed by hunters? Yours truly Gustav Lonz
