by planting suitable duck foods along
/ the shores. OF course, permission
would have to be secured from land
Iowners to do this planting. 1t is

duck hunting in the fall, in this dis.
trict, would largely depend upon
some such plan as establishing big
duck sanctuaries like Cooper lake

I5een urging a change in the federal
regulations should propose some rea
Isonable plan to replace the present
rules established 1t will do no good
to protest" without offering rem
edy. This must not be merely a
lengthening of the season.
