MONROE C. SMITH. 
Monroe C. Smith, vice-president and secretary 
of the L. C. Smith Brothers Typewriter Com¬ 
pany, died July 30 at his home in Syracuse, 
N. Y., aged 53 years. He was born at Centre 
Lisle, Broome County, N. Y. For a number of 
years he had been active and prominent in the 
industrial affairs of Syracuse. He was a brother 
of the late Lyman C. Smith, who was the origi¬ 
nal maker of the L. C. Smith gun, also a brother 
to Bert Smith who is now very active in shoot¬ 
ing circles in New York State. In former years 
Monroe was a very prominent trap shot and in 
the eighties was considered one of the best shots 
in New York State. He was an all-around sports¬ 
man, a lover of dogs and a great fisherman and 
hunter. 
He had been ill for a long while, so that his 
death was not unexpected but it will be a shock 
to his many friends throughout the country. 
SEND RESULT OF EXPERIMENTS. 
West Haven, Conn., July 22, 1914. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Again I am conducting or watching various 
experiments in the propagation of game-birds and 
wild fowl, and am adding to my store of data. I 
shall be grateful if you would, through your 
columns, invite correspondence with me from any 
who are experimenting along these lines, stating 
the results of their experiments. Also I should 
be glad to hear from any who this fall will have 
breeding-stock for sale, stating species. A good 
many write to me inquiring where they can get 
stock, and I should be glad to know of those to 
whom I can direct inquirers. I should be glad 
to hear from correspondents soon, as I have more 
time now to reply than I may later. 
Your valued paper serves admirably to keep 
one informed of what is going on of interest, to 
us who are fond of birds and wild game, and 
I should not want to be without it. 
HERBERT K. JOB. 
COURT IN A QUANDARY. 
Eveleth, Minn., July 7.—John Schute, a farmer, 
appeared in municipal court yesterday afternoon 
and asked what action he could take to prevent 
the destroying of his carrot crop and garden by 
deer. An ordinary fence does not keep the ani¬ 
mals out. He reported that he had repeatedly 
driven the deer from the yard. The law forbids 
him from shooting them. 
HEAVY RAINS SPOIL CHICKEN CROP. 
Fargo, N. D., July 9.—North Dakota sports¬ 
men are becoming convinced the chicken shoot¬ 
ing this year will not be as good as last. There 
were more old birds left over last fall and this 
spring than for years, but the unusual precipita¬ 
tion has not been favorable for hatching. In 
some sections the birds -were hatched before the 
rains came, and the bird crop is excellent; but 
in other localities the birds had made their nests 
in sloughs and coulees, and the early rains wet 
the eggs before they were hatched and drove the 
old birds from their nests. 
As a result, the shooters are already beginning 
to plan their hunting trips for the higher lands 
and the hilly sections until the season demon¬ 
strates the actual conditions. The native duck 
crop will be unusually large, as hundreds of 
sloughs are filled with water this year that have 
been dry for many seasons.
