This would have been a great day
in Fargo If the hunting season had
opened on Sept. as in previous years,
for It would have followed the hrst

Scores OF hunters from both the
Minnesota and North Dakota sides
have had their dogs In the fields. Civ
ing them workouts so they will be in
trim for the annual slaughter.
The cost Of hunting will be higher,
but this isn't going to take any OF the
joy out OF the sport from preparations
in the way OF hunting parties being
planned.
