past two seasons have been disastrous.
Both seasons were very wet Mt the nest

chickens were raised. The prairie

kill in Iowa are generally bred in Iowa.
AS a result we have only enough left
to make a good start. II the state
should extend the closed season over
a few years then prairie chickens
would become common again and
hunting would be good.
1T is entirely different with the
ducks. They migrate over long dis
tances and last fail there were mill
ions Of them In northern Iowa. They
breed in the far north and come, thru
Iowa. Nothing we can do will affect
their numbers. The proposal to abol-
ish the spring shooting OF ducks is fav-
ored by the hunters in some parts OF
the state, but strongly opposed else
where. Two years ago we called a
