Oregon duck hunters are rejoicing in
the slaughter of the destructive carp
The oregonian says that these Ash, which
have ruined many of the best duck shoot
ing marshes. are being caught and
shipped to Germany at the rate of three
tons day. The fish are frozen before
ss.prtng. and none less than twenty -one
pounds are exported. Smaller sizes are
used for fertilizer. The hunters have
little hope that these fish. which eat
everything. viii be wiped out of exist
euce. yet there is some satisfaction in
seeing some of them destroyed. In many
OF the famous old Oregon shooting fields
II is necessary 10 put duck food In troughs
10 keep IL away from the voracious carp.
