Stricter Game Protection Laws Adopted by States
More than 240 new game laws were enacted in 1915 across 41 states, expanding protections, harmonizing migratory bird seasons with federal rules, and restricting hunting methods. Notable moves include moratoriums on moose in Maine and prairie chickens in Indiana, limits on quail in several states, and outlawing alien hunting in multiple states following a 1914 U S Supreme Court ruling. Oregon and Washington extended elk seasons slightly while California, Connecticut, and others moved toward uniform seasons and night bans in various states.

It pays to grade eggs with price gaps of fifteen to twenty cents per dozen between top and lower grades. First quality eggs should be fresh and large, about twenty four ounces per dozen.
