where game is produced, the sportsmen 

 who prefer to do so can shoot without 

 interference, and if they need some 

 money to help pay expenses they can let 

 the people have some game to eat. 



Many thousands of sportsmen now 

 enjoy good shooting and are not obliged 

 to keep up with season and bag limits. 



Editor Game Breeder : 



I belong to a duck club and wish to 

 know if our members can shoot ducks 

 on Long Island, N. Y., on October 1, 

 when the State law opens the season for 

 ducks, or if we must wait until October 

 16, when the Migratory Law says the 

 season opens.

Our answer to another letter, above, 

 will answer your question as far as we 

 are able to answer it. We have been 

 told that the State is not obliged to exe- 

 cute the national regulation and that the 

 United States was not ready just yet to 

 execute it. Our opinion is, if the courts 

 hold the national regulation to be a valid 

 United States criminal law, the United 

 States regulators may attempt to gather 

 some fines from those who only obey the 

 State law. We regret to see the duck 

 shooting season shortened so as to cut 

 out the best two weeks for duck shooting 

 on Long Island at a time when there is 

 a shortage in our food supply. 



The Prairie Grouse. 



It seems a pity to substitute pheasants 

 for the splendid American grouse and 

 to let the grouse go the way of the wild 

 pigeon and the bison. The laws which 

 favor and encourage pheasant breeding 

 have produced results, just as we knew 

 they would, and we have no hesitation in 

 saying that laws permitting and encour- 

 aging grouse production soon will make 

 the grouse plentiful. There can be no 

 doubt that grouse will sell readily at $5 

 each and more there can be no doubt that 

 their eggs will sell for $5 or $10 per 

 dozen. Any one with common sense 

 should know that there are plenty of 

 people willing to go into any profitable 

 industry and The Game Breeder will 

 furnish plans and specifications for those 

 who wish to produce grouse for sport 

 or for profit. 



From reports coming to The Game 

 Breeder it would seem that the ruffed 

 grouse also needs the attention of game 

 breeders if it is not to go on the song bird 

 list temporarily and, later, forever. 



East Cleveland, Ohio. 



[Many of our readers are familiar with the 

 unrevised story of the man who, when served 

 with olives for the first time, said he would 

 like to lick the fellow who put up those plums.
