far more than the fines imposed for real 

 crimes. 



There is a better way. The State 

 Game Department should have the right 

 to issue permits to all game breeders 

 in other States giving them the right to 

 sell the game they produce in the New 

 York market, when .properly identified. 

 Permits should also be issued to sports- 

 men returning home with game legally 

 taken in other States. Any one of the 

 people recently held up easily could show 

 that the game was taken legally. Legal 

 nonsense has been rampant long enough ! 



CORRESPONDENCE. 



Game Breeder : 



I have sold all of my ducks that I 

 wish to sell. Your paper must have a 

 large circulation for I received letters 

 from all over the country, sometimes two 

 or three in one day, asking the price of 

 wood ducks and mallards.

Editor Game Breeder: 

 ^ I have now read two issues of The 

 Game Breeder and to say that I am 

 pleased with it is putting' it mildly. I 

 am entirely in accord with your views 

 and hope the day is not far off when 

 they will be carried out all over the 

 United States.

Game Dinner Echoes. 

 Editor Game Breeder: 



I thoroughly enjoyed every moment 

 of the game dinner at the Astor. Not 

 only was the provender of peculiar ex- 

 cellence but the whole trend of the 

 speechmaking was of a whole lot of 

 value to me as I am. as you know, deeply 

 interested in the subject of game propa- 

 gation. 



You have my deepest thanks for your 

 courtesy in persuading me to attend' this 

 exceptional gathering and I want to say 

 that the character of the attendance 

 spoke even more strongly than the ex- 

 cellent speeches for the strength of the 



movement which you have so efficiently 

 fostered. 



Sincerely,

Mr. A. A. Hill, 



Vice-President Game Conservation 

 Society : 



After having partaken of a very en- 

 joyable dinner of the Society on Dec. 14 

 last, and having heard the objects of the 

 Society outlined in the speech of several 

 speakers, I find that I am heartily in 

 sympathy with the movement, and would 

 like to become more closely associated 

 with it. 



I would be pleased, therefore, to have 

 you send me such information as you 

 may have, so that I may make proper 

 application for membership in the Game 

 Conservation Society. 



Yours truly, 

 New York. R. B.

Editor Game Breeder : 



It was my good fortune to have at- 

 tended the dinner of the Game Consei na- 

 tion Society at the Hotel Astor, Dec. 14. 



I have formed many new ideas re- 

 garding the protection of game and am 

 very much impressed with the new work 

 of producing "more game." 



I am to address a sportsmen's club 

 and wish that you would kindly mail me 

 a copy of the census report which you 

 read at the dinner, also the story of the 

 "turkey deal." C. S. Rogers.

[The story of the "turke\ deal" (will 

 named, it was raw) is as follows: Many 

 members of the Game Conservation Soci< I 

 now own and produce an abundance of w 

 turkeys for sport. Some were donated for tin 

 dinner by their owners. A suggestion un- 

 made that possibly there rhighl be some "ft 

 law in New York which would prevent out
