WILD DUCKS invaded the vrain fields of the West this year by the millions. Game »werseers went slowly batty ‘istening to farmers complain. Farmers went crazy trying to save enough grain to make it worth while harvesting. In some places game overâ€" :eers went in and scared ducks out by shooting near them. In »thers, both farmers and some thers took ducks out of seaâ€" 1on. When it is considered what : wild duck is worth to the sportsmen, this legal shooting n an illegal time is just a HKittle ‘n the fantastic side. The Canadian government ras made a habit of underâ€" writing this thing and the other whenever they have felt they might pick up an extra vote. Why not underwrite the farmers crops and let the ducks | 31 KING ST. N. We have a stunning exquisite selection of nylon, satin crepe and flannellette gowns.

There are also thousands of dollars that could be spent for this effort in the way of license money provided by the hunters. This money at present is for the most part building roads into wilderness areas and other foolish efforts for which the sportsman sees nothing, For the number of wild ducks raised in this country, there is very littke natural food. The fools who were al!â€" lowed to bring carp into Canâ€" ada fixed that little situation. Where these filthy fish have obtained a foothold, the duck food has disappeared.

Naturally too, with a ducks apâ€" petite being what it is, they are going to practically wreck any field they light down in. Fact still remains that a hundred ducks are worth a lot of grain fields Canada has too much grain now and the use of it by anything as important as the wild ducks, should reâ€" ceive some intelligent planning . . . not a lot of beefing and excuse making. Let the ducks have the grain they need. Then pay those farmers whose loss can be traced to the depradation of the birds. We doubt very much that the average farmer cares who pays for his lost crop. We also doubt that gun license money, or much of it is being put to the use it should be. The present would be a good time to start.

The mere fact that you do not pick up the wounded bird, does not morally entitle you to keep on shooting. We have heard that sections of the United States are conâ€" templating a ruling which will force every hunter going into the field either for wildfowl or upland birds, to have A trained retreiver with him.
