Easy Way Out.

Grand FORKS Herald: The
North Dakota chicken season
opens Sept. 1. The chicken crop
is considered to be fair, although
continued wet weather in the
early spring killed many of the
young. Throughout this section
and in the higher land. chickens
are plentiful, but in the Red River
valley the number is less than
usual The duck season opens
at the same time and there is
said to be plentiful supply.
There has been considerable il.
legal shooting, but the deputy
game wardens have been keeping
a strict watch. A Number of con.
victions have had a good effect on
the poachers. A license is re.
quired for persons to huut in this
state. For residents the charge
IS only Is cents, but non-residents
are taxed S25. This latter tax is
overcome by persons who come
up here every year to shoot by
their purchasing an acre or two
of land and thus becoming real
estate holders and entitled to the
minimum charge of Is cents.

MANY DUCKS IN
NORTH COUNTRY
Northern Lakes Are All Full
of Water Fowl Rice
Plentiful.

The crop of ducks this year,
according to reports received
from points throughout the north
country. is larger than for the
past four or five years. John
Hancock of Turtle Lake township,
who owns homestead on Three
Island lake, states that in all the
lakes in that vicinity water fowl
are more numerous than he has
seen them in many years. The
high water has not interfered
materially with the breeding of
ducks and geese, although a few
nests have been drowned out,
and the indications are that Shoot
ing during the season which
opens Sept. l will be excellent.
The rice crop is unusually large
and the ducks have plenty of food
upon which to subsist.
