DUCkING SEASON NEAR

The ducklng season opens on We'd
nesday, November l. For the accom-
mediation of the duckers ActingState's
Attorney Joshua Clayton has prepared
summary of the ducking laws as
they now stand. There was mistake
in the summary of the laws published
in a local paper this week as from
him; the correct summary is as fol-
lows:
The amended ducking laws abso-
lutely prohibit the use of motor boats
in the waters of the Chesapeake Bay
except when the same is being en-
ployed in gathering wounded and dead
ducks, which have been shot over de-
coys from sinkbox or when the same
were shot over decoys under a sneak
boat license. A motor boat may be
used in running with the wind in
shooting over decoys under a sneak
boat license. Sail boats are absolutely
prohibited under any circumstances
and motor boats are prohibited like
wise, south of line drawn from
Turkey Point, in Cecil county, to Lo-
Gust Point. in Hartford county. When
motor boats are used the law requires
that the exhaust shall be muffled so as
to produce the least possible noise. and
shall also be arranged so as to re-
duce the emanation of smoke and
gases to minimum.
The penalty for violation of the re-
gulations concerning the use of motor
boats may be fine. Imprisonment and
contiscation of the motor boat and
other hunting paraphernalia. includ-
ing guns, and each person in the boat
may be punished with a fine or i'm
prisonment. The motor boat may he
contiscated even if the owner of the
same is not present and engaged in
violation of the law The MARYLAND

Flats northward Of a straight line
drawn from Turkey Point to the Har-
ford shore and passing one-half mile
north of Locust Point on Spesutia Is
land, at 4.3O in the morning on Mon
day, Wednesday and Friday of each
week, prior to January l, and after
said last mentioned date Saturday is
Included, and on these days only is
shooting permitted.
A day under the Maryland law is
comprised between one hour before
sunrise and ? o'clock p. M, but the
Federal Regulations limit the shooting
day to begin at sunrise, and hunters
will understand that the Federal Re-
gu.ations are supreme
The last Maryland Legislature fixed
a bag limit for wild water fowl and
each person is limited to killing p
water fowl IF all kinds, and the own
