used as a vessel to cook soup in, should 
a shortage of dishes occur. 
If there are two in the party, nest 
an additional plate over the top and 
a cup in the inside. This kit seems to 
fill the bill as a light-weight one- or 
two-man outfit. 
Wants a Smaller Bag Limit 
DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
HE hunting season began in North 
Dakota on Sept. 16, but the weather 
has been so very dry that game is 
hard to get. Nearly all the sloughs 
and pond holes in the state are bone 
dry, and the ducks have gone away, 
presumably over into Minnesota, where 
the lakes are numerous. This has been 
the dryest August in the 88 years of 
the records of the weather bureau; had 
practically no rain at all the entire 
month. 
In this neighborhood we have waged 
a persistent war on crows, and in con- 
sequence prairie chickens are more nu- 
merous than usual. Of course they are 
hard to secure as it is unlawful to 
hunt with dogs in this state, but the 
no-dog law is a great blessing never- 
theless. Formerly sportsmen came out 
of the towns with dogs and guns and 
swept the prairie clean of all game, 
but now they do not do it so easily, 
and the game has a better chance, and 
it’s a mighty good thing too. I like 
to see game alive better than I do 
dead, and it seems to me when a man 
kills a bird he should be willing to 
contribute enough to raise two in its 
place. I believe the daily bag limit 
is too high on all sorts of game. Three 
prairie chickens and five ducks is 
enough for any man, and enough to 
make a feast for any family. Also 
there should be a season limit, limiting 
the number one man can take during 
the open season, and it should not be 
over five times the bag limit for one 
day. It is high time this nation ceased 
to squander its natural resources.

DEAR FOREST AND STREAM: 
LEASE find enclosed a money or- 
der for $2.00, the cost of a year’s 
subscription for your most valuable 
magazine. I enjoy reading it so much 
I can scarcely wait for each month to 
come so I can get a new number. I 
am a great lover of hunting and fish- 
ing. 
I think Dr. L. A. Steeves of Oregon 
wrote a very interesting article about 
his buck hunting and I like it a lot. 
Being a Westerner myself I enjoy 
stories about that section. Best wishes 
to FOREST AND STREAM.
