not be done if the State Legislature will 

 listen to common sense. 



You are sure doing some mighty fine 

 work in having the laws amended so that 

 in a very short time there will he no 

 question that America will be the big- 

 gest game producing country in the 

 world. Few people seem to realize that 

 in time, not very far distant, that there 

 would be no wild game left in the coun- 

 try if action was not taken to curb some 

 of the. fool laws made by State Legisla- 

 tures. 



Yours very truly, 



Jos. W. Turner. 



(America rapidly is becoming a big game 

 producing country. • The reports which come 

 to this office of places where over 25,000 game 

 eggs are sold and the reports of new game 

 farms and preserves being started are gratify- 

 ing. The Devil himself could not stop the 

 movement now. — Editor.)

Dear Sir — Will you kindly advise me 

 as to where I can purchase for propaga- 

 tion purposes 150 to 200 pair quail? 1 



am enclosing self-addressed stamped 

 envelope. 



Thanking you for this favor, I am, 



Yours for more game,

(Write to our advertisers and by all 

 means have your laws amended so as to 

 permit the shipping of quail for breeding 

 purposes by breeders who will produce 

 thousands of quail. It is absurd to send 

 money to Mexico for quail when some 

 good quail farms and ranches can pro- 

 duce them profitably in the United 

 States. The State game departments 

 should get all the quail they want from 

 American breeders. It is legal to destroy 

 quail ground by rearing sheep and cattle. 

 It should be legal for a land owner to 

 produce a profitable lot of quail if he 

 wishes to do so. Your representative 

 in the legislature surely can have the law 

 amended so that it will not be criminal 

 for a farmer to produce any kind of 

 plants or animals. A section like section 

 12 in the Migratory Bird Law is all that 

 is necessary. — Editor.) 



It is now legal to trap Wild Ducks and other 

 Waterfowl for Breeding Purposes. 



Our Wild Fowl and Waders. 



A handsomely Illustrated Book, written by the 

 Editor of the Game Breeder, tells how to trap 

 wild ducks and how to rear the birds, for sport 

 or for profit. There are chapters on the forma- 

 tion of wild duck club preserves; the enemies 

 of wild ducks and how to control them; the 

 shooting of ducks, etc.
