CARP OUST1NG WILD DUCK.
CSeless tn ems elves, They Have De-
strOyed the Wild Rice Fields
In Ontario, Canada.

The singular complaint comes from
various parts Of northern Ontario that
fish are responsible for the disappear
ance of certain kinds of game. In To-
calities which were formerly noted for
the excellent duck shooting which thew
offered the birds are now not to be had
at all.
The ducks. geese and other aquatic
birds were formerly in the habit of
frequenting the large fields of wild rice
In the lakes and streams of parts of
Ontario, but now these fields have been.
in many instances. destroyed by the
German carp, which has found it's way
into these waters. The vegetarian diet
OF this detestable fish not. only ruins
the flavor of it's own flesh, but exhausts
the food supply of some of the most
desirable forms of feathered game,
says the New York Sun.
The Ontario inspector of fish.
cries, who has been in north
ern Ontario for the last few
weeks, reports that the German
carp has not only become danger
ous to other fish, as has been frequent-
~ claimed. but that in Cooks bay. Lake
S'mcoe. where there were formerly
hundreds of acres of wild rice. not a
spear of that plant is to be seen to-day.
The same is true of the Holland river.
where there were at one time 1,5O0
acres of rice. The carp have eaten it
root, branch and seed,
The almost incredible part of it is
that the fish have entirely DESTROYED
the fields in one year. The aquatic
birds which visit the locality, finding
that all their usual feeding grounds
have disappeared. cut short their visit
and move away in search of others.
The local sportsmen complain, too.
that the carp have attacked the beds
OF wild celery. and that they, too, are
almost completely destroyed.
1T remains to be seen what the ef-
feet of this wholesale destruction Of
aquatic vegetation will be upon the
game fishes of the locality. The fish,
cry overseer of the district declares
that it is question whether the
spawn OF the muskallonge can be pro-
tected and developed without the rice
beds. He does not accuse the carp Of
eating the eggs of the other fish. bnt
states that they keep the water con-
t'nuaIly disturbed, and that to their
presence in these waters must be at
trlbuted the decrease in the number
OF mnskallonge frequenting them for
spawning purposes.
