The devastating GRUB" has no more ter
ror to him since he has learned what a
toothsome morsel il makes for his flock of
white Pekin ducks; and, as a result of
several experiments, he declares he can
raise the best crop of potatoes in the coun-

while at the same time he will increase
his supply of duck eggs twofold... "Twice

ducks have the run of the potato patch.
They first got into the patch by accident
and thought they were after potato bugs,
but watched them and found that grub
worms were what they wanted"
