Shoots Banded Duck
In MOffit District

A mallard duck banded by the
United States Biological department
was shot near Moffit Sunday by g..
L. Read, employee Of the Armour
Creamery company Of Bismarck.
The band was numbered A54S442
and will be sent to Washington, ac-
cording to Carl Nelson, manager Of
the Armour company plant here. who
says that it Is the first time in his
experience that q banded duck has
been reported as being picked up In
this section Of the country.
Ducks usually are banded either on
the west coast or In Chesapeake bay
on the east coast or some other east
ern rendezvous Of the ducks. As the
natural flight Of ducks Is from north
to south they rarely get this far In
land. Nelson believes the ducks are
flying from east to west or vice versa
on account Of the shortage Of water.
