he did of a frown. So If one
smiled in his teeth when he was

Minnesota has the largest wild

ducing the number and retarding the
growth of wild ducks, as reported,
the summers drouth has greatly as

cording to George w. Mccullough,
state game and fish commissioner.
While southern and western Min
nesota are poor in wild ducks this
year, these sections have a plentiful
supply of pheasants, according to
Commissioner Mccullough. Northern
and northwestern Minnesota, which
is overloaded with ducks, has very
few pheasants.
Mr.. Mccullough will ask Governor
Christensen for an executive order
providing for graduated seasons on
pheasants with shorted shoot in the
northern districts, and a longer open
season in the south and west. The
dry warm weather has helped pleas
ants to have good matches, and in
some cases pheasant hens have had
two matches.
