1t is my own opinion that there
has been decided decrease rather
than an increase in wild fowl With
all due respect to the representatives
Of the Biological Survey and others
who have made these optimistic re-
ports of recent years. 1 am inclined to
think that the observations were
made from the viewpoint of our best
shooting clubs, owning exclusive pre-.
serves and shooting rights, rather
than from that of the ordinary hunter
1t is only natural that men out to
make Investigations have not the
time to go over the routes of the lone
sportsman, but must, in each locality,
get directly to the heart of the wild
fowl grounds, and this is, of course,
done via the private club.
There is little doubt but that wild
fowl have increased lately on the pri-
vate, well protected preserves and
passes. This is because the public
marshes, the breeding and feeding
grounds of the ducks. which have
neither private money nor influence
to guard them, are being drained or

pictured in figure 3.
Observe in figure 2 how the players
weight has transferred to his right
leg as he has moved the clubhead
straight back from the ball. You
get all the weight over to the right
leg at the start of the back swing.
Be careful that the left shoulder does
not drooD. The shoulders must be
kept up. The shoulders continue to
face the ball, which means there is
no shoulder turning while the club
head is drawn away from the ball
at the start of the back swing. The
shoulders do not turn until you near
the top of the back swing, with the
clubhead approximately at the point

the ducks are thereby forced to go
where they find food and cover, and
that is on the private marshes.
The result is that more ducks ap-
pear there, giving the impression Of
an Increasing number of wild fowl
The fact that more hunters are going
into the public shooting places each
year also Is tending to drive the ducks
to the better protection of the pri-
vate clubs.
DR.. Nelson asks that sportsmen
write to him. giving their observa-
tion as to increase or decrease of
wild fowl in their localities. I hope
all who read this will do it. And I
urgently ask that you write me, too.
In order to properly administer the

be gathered from the majority of the
