/ day but twenty-five game birds of any
one kind except ducks; and 1t is
against the Iowa law to have in pos
/ session any more than twenty-five
game birds, with the exception OF
ducks. With the open season for
ducks only one month, interested
ones will be glad to learn that re-
/! port says that there are hundreds OF
young wild ducks along the large
rivers of the country, and some OF

| fly in this direction. The variety
are teal. mallard and others. Expert
enced observers say, however. that a
heavy rain is the only thing that will
preserve these young ducks until the
open season. arrives. The swamps
are drying up completely and many of
the lakes are nothing but parched
