DUCKS DECLARED
VERY NUMEROUS

Steele, N. D., Sept. 6-There is a
wonderfully large number Of ducks
this year, according to-. George M
Hogue, secretary Of the state game
and fish board, who has returned to
Steels after Investigating the report
that ducks are dying in Logan county
for want of water.
81 investigated this report person
ally, where young ducks were said to
be found dead along the road, and l
found that the sloughs near Napoleon
were dried up, and the young ducks
that could not yet fly had started out
in search of water, and I believe that
the few that ! saw along the road had
been killed by automobiles, at least
they had been run over either before
or after they had died." said Secre-
tary Hogue.
81 am sure there was nothing wrong
with the ducks. Just north Of this
large slough. there is water in a small
lake, about one-half mile. Arrow lake
has plenty of water also Jim lake and
the small lakes which are situated
around Crystal Springs, and many
others, so that I believe the flight of
the ducks will be to the east of Kidder
county. There is wonderful large
number of ducks this year, and l can
assure the hunters of the bag limit
every day, if they get them" s.
Secretary Hogue reports that prai-
rie chickens and grouse are plentiful
basing this assertion from trips that
he has made over the state, and re-
ports that he had received at his Of
flee in Steele. He said in some in
stances he had to stop his machine to
avoid running over chickens. He finds
sentiment both for and against using
the dog, but believes more are against
the use of dogs in the fields.
"We received a report" said Secre-
tary Hogue, "of the finding Of chick
en- that had been killed by a hawk, and
upon opening the same it was found
to contain 33 grasshoppers, so one can
see what a bunch Of chickens would
do to the hoppers in a day."
North Dakota has a 1O-days open
season this fall on deer, from Novem-
ber 21 to November 80. inclusive, and
one buck deer may be taken. Deer
hunters must wear a coat and cap OF
dark blue or black material.

WEICHER WYLIE
TAKES EXCEPTION

The following letter from Mr.. Wylie
explains itself. The Times Record go'
the article published yesterday from
the Agricultural Bulletin, which is
sent out to all parts of the state
Editor.
Valley City, N. D., Sept. l, 1921
Editor Of the Times-Record,
Valley City. N. D.
Dear Sir: I saw an article IN you,
paper last evening referring to the
city scales, in which you say accord
ing to Mr.. Melvin B. McGuigan, in
spector Of weights and measures di-
vision, that Sanborn, N. D., was the
only place on the line of the North
ern Pacific Railroad, through North
Dakota, in which every city wagon
scale was found correct.
l am the man that runs the city
scales in this city, and I make excep-
tions to this remark, as it surely puts
our scales in the wrong light. I never
saw or do not know Mr.. McGuigan
and if he ever inspected our scales he
must have done it in the night time
or I should have known something
about it, as I have been in this office
for the past eight years, or ever since
the scales were put in. Two years
ago. Mr.. Fred Jenson inspected our
scales and found them slightly off; !;
about ten younds light on large loads
The scales were shut off at once, and
all parts that needed repairing were
put in new. 1t was then tested under
a heavy load and found correct. Since
that time l have not seen or heard
from any scale inspector. Hope some
of them will come around soon and
test our scales out again.
By publishing this you will do me
and our city favor.
Yours truly,
C. L. WYLIE,
City Weigher of Valley City, N. D.

INSURE BETTER YIELD MATURE
CORN BY FREED SELECTION
Sent < tn 10 Seed Corn Week

"Picking seed corn from your field
Of standing corn during Seed Corn
Week means dollars in your pocket" "
is the slogan for North Dakota corn
growers during the week of September
S to 10. This week has been selected
as Seed Corn Week by the extension
division Of the Agricultural College,
as an aid TO securing the maximum
yield per acre next year at minimum
expense.
Because of unusually good weather
conditions for corn growing this year:
this crop promises to produce large
yield of mature corn, from one to two
weeks before the usual harvesting
time. "
Picking seed ears from the stand
ing corn will save the farmer money
in at least three distinct ways. 1t will
increase his yield per acre next year
by giving him the most healthy, Wig
orous, thrifty corn from which to grow
next years crop; it will increase his
yield per acre by providing proven, ac-
climated seed, instead of seed grown
under different climatic conditions
and it will save him from 81 to 81 per
bushel on the price he would pay if he
bought it from commercial seed men
A sack hauled in boys express
wagon or wheelbarrow is the method
recommended for gathering the corn
Haul the sack through the field, tax
ing four rows at a time, picking the
best ears from the stalks. First, Sc.
lect the most healthy, vigorous, well
developed stalks; then if it bears q
good sized. we'll formed, mature ear
Of corn well up on the stalk: pull the
ear. and put it in the sack. Husk the
ear and spread it out on floor to dry
or hang it up by the husks.

PRoSPEcToRs SINK
 DEEP SHAFTS

Two shafts 75 feet in depth and one ll9 feet is the record for sinking pros
 pecting shafts made this winter by
 Jack Kinney q widely known old time prospector. The first two holes were sunk during the early winter by Kin hey and Leo Povelik, who also bears tha euphonious non de plume of ''Ko- blk Red, short distance back of the of the cape. In so far as rewards were
 concerned the 140 feet of shaftins w;ts loves labor lost" fol. the two highly industrious prospectors en- countered water at about the 75 foot level in both holes and decided to sus
 pend operations.
 The 1l9 foot shaft Was put down
 more recently by Kinney and Frank
 Kahn on Sunset Creek property owned by Thomas Gaffney and is said to be
 the deepest shaft sunk in this locality
 during the present winter season. The bore was made to bedrock through
 thawed ground but work was con.
 siderably impeded owing to a thci:
 strata of cemented gptLvel being en- countered at about 70 feet. It was
 the intention to do some crosscutt:ng after bedrock was reached but the re. cent soft weather forced q suspension of further operations. Kinney anG
 Rahn returned to town during tn. week The former is not in the least discouraged at the failure to find the elusive paystreak after so much hard labor and nonchalantly remarked better luck next time" when tender ed the reporters condolences, therety disclosing the pluckiness whioh w sincerely hope will one day bring ti em adequate reward.
