Duck Eggs and Owls. 



My dear Mr. Huntington: 



Have just read in The Game Breeder 

 that I had been awarded a special prize 

 for one of my articles. I am very much 

 flattered and I assure you I appreciate 

 it highly indeed, -so much more so be- 

 cause of the fact that I am a great ad- 

 mirer of you and your sanity in respect 

 to the proper handling of the game ques- 

 tion. If I may say so without offense 

 my views coincide with just about every- 

 thing you say or write. While I most 

 sincerely thank you for the good will 

 shown me, let me fervently wish for the 

 success of your campaign in which I 

 should like to enlist as a private. Go to 

 it, Mr. Editor. 



Have written to all possible sources of 

 supply as you suggested. In view of the 

 fact, however, that I have so far been 

 unable to secure any eggs at all, may 1 

 not further pester you to the extent of 

 asking for some Canadian breeder's ad- 

 dress who could furnish me with pure- 

 bred eggs ? I have over a dozen an- 

 swers to my inquiries, each and every 

 one of them stating that they are all sold 

 out. I thought you might possibly know 

 of some Canadian source, hence my re- 

 quest. 



Another great horned owl trapped ; 

 the third one in four weeks. There 

 must have been a great flight of them 

 coming south even though the wintei 

 -eems to be rather an open one. 



Thanking you for past favors, I re- 

 main, 



Yours for more game, 



Z. Ted DeKalmar. 



New breeders are starting weekly and 

 they all join us. 



GEORGE SIMPSON. 



Since our last issue went to press the 

 sad news came of the death of George 

 Simpson, head game keeper for the Long 

 Island Game Breeders Association, who 

 conducted our experiment with Gambels 

 quails last season. Fie came to us from 

 one of the preserves on Cape Cod, Mass., 

 when his employer went into the serv- 

 ice, and he was undoubtedly one of the 

 ablest and most skilful game keepers in 

 America. 



He was an excellent breeder of pheas- 

 ants and wild ducks and trained dogs 

 nicely. He was besides much interested 

 in experimental work and was exactly 

 the right man in the right place. 



There are no better game keepers than 

 George Simpson was. He leaves a wift 

 and two handsome young children, a boy 

 and a girl. 



Crow Prizes. 



The Du Pont Company is offering 

 prizes in a crow contest and advises the 

 use of crow-calls. A sure way to win 

 a prize is to use a decoy owl. The crows 

 will come to this nicely and in good num- 

 bers, presenting easy marks to the am- 

 bushed gunner. Sauter, the taxidermist, 

 can furnish the decoy owls and they 

 surely will produce the crows. His ad- 

 vertisement is in this issue. Members 

 of the game breeders association will find 

 an owl decoy at the clubhouse and they 

 are welcome to all the crows on the pre- 

 serve. 



Opinion of Mr. Carney. 



Mr. Peter Carney, who ably conducts 

 the National Sports Syndicate, is a most 

 capable and fair judge of what should 

 be right and proper in the matter of 

 game shooting. In a recent letter he 

 says: "I agree that game clubs should 

 be encouraged just as much as trap 

 shooting clubs. My function in life at 

 this time is to write trap shooting news 

 articles. I know little or nothing of 

 game and game shooting clubs, therefore 

 I am not in a position to write small ar- 

 ticles about this line of work. I have 

 asked others who should be interested in 

 game bird protection to write something
