The GAME BREEDER for December, 1931 
 
as the Great auk and the Passenger 
pigeon. A number of states prohibited 
shooting for a number of years and the 
same action was taken by the Federal 
Government. This has greatly helped the 
situation. Artificial propagation, too, 
seems to have changed the situation for 
the better. I believe our reliable game 
breeders had a lot to do with getting 
our Wood duck back in a wild state. 
There is very little danger of the 
Wood duck becoming extinct, as the 
game breeders both in the United States 
and in Canada are breeding the Wood 
duck and the Mandarin duck very suc- 
cessfully. Also, Holland is rearing a lot 
of American Wood ducks and selling 
them back to us for big prices. 
I think that a Wood duck Is far too 
beautiful a bird to be killed for food. 
Its value for this purpose is too small 
to be worth a moment's consideration. 
My husband says that he would no more 
think of shooting or killing a Wood duck 
that he would a Bluebird or a Balti- 
more oriole. 
GAME BREEDERS' DOGS 
(Continued from page 372) 
owned and handled the winner, Fire- 
heels. She Is a real spaniel and has 
proved herself to be such from every 
standpoint. Second went to Noremac 
Meg, owned by F. N. B. Close and han- 
dled by Harry Cameron. Third was 
Banchory Flame, owned and handled by 
Dr. Samuel Milbank, and fourth to In- 
veresk Carminetta, owned by Rowe B. 
Metcalf and handled by Cameron. 
And thus ended another good meeting 
with a lot of credit going to Mrs. A. R. 
Mofflitt and to Ralph C. Craig. 
CONNECTICUT BREEDERS' 
ANNUAL MEETING 
(Continued from page 367) 
At the dinner, those In attendance 
were entertained with some very good 
motion pictures of game propagation 
also with music, humorous stories and 
some excellent original wild-life poems 
by Mr. Win. Craig. 
The GAME BREEDER trusts that there 
will soon be numerous other state game 
breeders' associations that will work, 
with the full cooperation of the Interna- 
tional Association, for the improve- 
ment of conditions both    local and 
throughout the entire field. 
ORGANISM KILLS DUCKS 
(Continued from page 374) 
ed.  Farmers   raising  domestic  and 
wild ducks report losses of 70 to 100 per 
cent. Among Doctor O'Roke's experi- 
mental ducks, losses in his first sum- 
mer's study were 35 per cent and in the 
second summer 85 per cent.
