.LOOKSFOR ABUNDANCE
OF DUCKS AND QUAIL
Chief Game Warden LaFevre Ex-
poets Them To Be Plentiful
For Fall Shooting.

Ducks and quail will be more abun-
dant next fall than for many years,
according to Colonel John P. LeFevre,
/ chief game and fish warden of the
state. For three weeks the wild ducks
that are priced by some as providing
the most appetizing dish Of game for
the table of any wild creature, have
been flying northward. DeIaware's
wild ducks have been coming back
home to do their Matching and rear
ing of their young. Canadian ducks,
many of which make their winter
home in Delaware and along the Eas-
tern Shore of Maryland, have started
their flight to their more nOrthward
Matching grounds.
The passage of the federal migra-
tory law, which prevents the shooting
of ducks on the spring flight to the
Matching places, has enabled them to
propagate, according to Colonel Le-
Fevre. 1t used to be possible to shoot
the ducks in the spring and the bags
OF game were always larger than in
the fall. This is due to the fact that
the weather is more comfortable for
the gunner and the ducks fly lower,
SCGhlu5 oOliIG VI LuC ud4nLy UllS VI
feeding ground in the spring. In the
fall, they usually travel higher be-
cause they are not so hungry and the
feeding spots do not hold the attrac-
tion for them. But in the spring, the
mother duck is anxious to feed and is
more often an easier prey to the hun
ter. Then again, the ducks in the
spring are tanner than in the fall,
when many of them are very wild,
having summered in places where |
man has been unknown and cOnse-
Quently are more afraid of him. After |
a winter spent in sections where they
may often see man, they become less |
.imid and consequently are easier
prey for him.
Covies of quail throughout the state
ire more numerous, according to re-
)oTts of wardens and farmers, many
,f whom feed the Bob Whites when
he winter is long and hard and food

SUSSEX REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES

Republicans of Sussex county will
hold their primary election to elect
delegates to the State Convention,
who will choose delegates to the Ma
tional Convention to nominate the
Presidential and Vice Presidential
candidates, on Saturday, April 10. The
State Convention will convene in Do
yer on April %.
The delegates elected at the county
primary will choose in the State Con-
vention the next National Committee
man for Delaware.
Contests are expected in some Of
the districts Of Sussex county, be-
tween the organization and anti-or-
ganization forces, for control of the
State Convention.
Former United States Senator T.
Coleman du POnt will have the back
ing of the organization forces, Of
which he is the directing head for
National Committee man. Already
many of the districts of Sussex county
are lined up back of him and will send
delegates instructed to the State Con-
ventiOn.,
The Anti-Organization forces, who
some campaigns ago were what was
known as leaders or the Alfred l. du
POnt faction, are not directing so
much attention to the National Com
mitteeman at this time, as they are to
place barriers in the way Of Senator
Ball for denomination. 1t is believed,
however, that they will make an ef-
fort to elect man and the name of
former State Senator I. D. Short has
been mentioned, although, from what {
can be gathered, he has not express i
ed himself regarding the selection Of t
the National Committeeman. Former '
Caleb R. Layton will be 7
acceptable to the anti-organization t
forces without question, provided he v
will take the position. DR.. Layton, t
however, is frank to admit publicly t
hat he had no aspirations, and in o
Tiew of this, it is not likely that he
YOuld at this time consider the posi- n
l%a Of National Committeeman. Il
