Dam, rain go away, SO the httle
N ducks will play!
This was the song Of the re-
turning duck hunters yesterday, VINO
report that hard times are upon n
eley. The rain damage to y
WINTER vegetable crops In the VAL
ley is realized. but IL has been taken
in silence compared 10 the wall set
I'D BY the duck hunters. when they
find the face of the fats covered
with water SO that it takes a man
equipped from alpha 10 omega TO get
a shot at the birds.
The ducks have betaken them
selves far back to the distant
stretches Of water. and are %quacking
away that If the hunter would nave
them he must get out his motor
boat and come and get them.
Il Is said that many geese are
being seen. but the usual haunts OF
the ducks are water bound. Many
Armistice day hunters returned
empty handed.
WHILE the unusual rainfall has
w doubtless damaged, or delayed
- the winter vegetable crop to no
little extent, it is by no means
wholly ruined, 1t was said today,
and little complaint is heard.
Along some highways automobiles
are seen parked by the roadside
while residents use other means OF
navigating the lanes to their homes.
One mar yesterday remarked that
1t is making his turnip greens tres
top tall.
TT is being taken easy. some fam
lilies are not even attempting TO
come to town at all these days.
The Valley has a philosophy, which
evolved out of surmounting obstacles
20 turn a wilderness into a garden
spot can see the best of everything.
I'VE will get a much better price
for what we do raise" n man re-
marked. In some parts Of the state
q committee would have already
waited on Hoover for aid. But the
Valley knows the sunshine will be
out in a few days and things will no
be one half rs bad as they now ap-
pear.

Such an organization as proposed
