NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-If the
ducks had more sense they'd write
to their Congressman about it, but
being ducks they probably don't
even see the injustice in the fact
that because there are about 25
per cent more of them this year
the hunters are going to get
about SO per cent more time to
shoot them.
THE biggest crop in 10 years."
is the way Ray Benson. executive
secretary of Ducks Unlimited,
views the outlook. Last year
there were about 65,000,000. This
year we expect upward of 80,-
000, 900, despite the fact that for
time early in the year the out
look was bad.
There wasn't any show in parts
of the Canadian breeding areas
until mid-February, and that
country relies on melting snow to
fill the potholes and sloughs.
Ducks are funny. They don't
read the weather reports, so they
didn't know there might not be
enough water to carry them
through. They just planked down
on their favorite breeding grounds
and hoped for the best.
"As luck would have it, in June
the rains came in abnormal
quantity, and the same was true
in July. That break, combined

take their toll, and also duck
sickness"
Ducks Unlimited is non-profit
organization established to insure
the perpetuation Of water fowl.
If these underslung pigeons didn't
know enough to protect them
selves, somebody must do it for
them.
This Ducks Unlimited has done
by establishing breeding grounds,
providing feed during tough
winters, fighting the natural
enemies of the birds, and by
other means.
For example, when the toll ex-
acted by crows was revealed, the
organization through its Canadian
affiliate caught and banded a
batch of crows, turned them loose,
and told the farmers that on a
certain date all the bands turned
in would be pooled and drawing
made. First prize was $500.

with the fact that our campaign
against crows and magpies, which
raid the nests, has shown results,
has assured a bumper crop.
THE only thing we have to
worry now is duck sickness, or
botulism. They get a stomach
ache and die. It's something like
ptomaine poisoning, and the toxin
given off by one of these dead
ducks can kill 1000 others. How
ever, that's minor worry, ex-
cept to the ducks. We've had one
report of an outbreak on Lake
Winnipeg, Manitoba, where 5000
dead ducks were counted to the
mile"
The hunters are a minor worry
in the life of a duck, Benson says.
A survey has shown that 10 per
cent of an annual crop is lost be-
fore a gun is fired.
Leading the list of hazards is
drought" he explains. Then
come the crows and magpies,
which account for about 80 per
cent of the eggs. Then, and you'll
be surprised, come the Northern
pike, called jackfish up yonder.

Black bass are having tough
time this year in some parts Of
Maryland. Recently, hundreds Of
them were killed by a mysterious
disease In Middle River. Now an
other river is affected.
Bass, along with perch and catfish
in Back River, in Baltimore County,
are being killed by the hundreds by
condition which residents call
green death" because Of a green
substance in the water which makes
it almost Opaque
Some of the water samples are so
thick with green matter it is impos-
sible to see through bottle of the
stuff. 1t is left on the beaches by
receding tides and forms sticky
mass.
Study Water Samples.
E. c. Kerns, district deputy game
warden in Baltimore County, has
taken several specimens Of the wa
ter and is having it analyzed in
State laboratories. In the mean
while, fishing there is nil and chill
dren have been warned not to swim
or wade in that section of Back
River.
The boom in big-game angling this
season is taking hold of the coast of
Maine. Large tuna are being caught
there, where not many years ago
only a few commercial men operated.
No wit is becomming a mecca for
sportsmen, like Ocean City and the
coast of Maryland became when
white marlin were found there not
long ago. In fact, the whole North
ern Atlantic Coast of the United

BALTIMORE, Aug. 30.-Doves and
railbirds become legal targets Mon
day, and prospects for the hunting
season seem to be very good" Chief
Deputy Game Warden Richard
Norris said today.
Strong sales" of hunting licenses
may be expected to start next week,
he said, as sportsmen open this first
phase of the States long, varied
game season.
The season on doves and railbirds
opens September l, but hunting is
prohibited on Sundays.
Norris said the State Game and
Inland Fish Commission had re-
ceived many inquiries regarding
hunting dates for squirrels, and that
the season runs from September IS
to October Is with no "reopened
period" later in the fall. Until last
year, the season had been reopened
from November Is to November 30.
"The exception is in Garrett and
Allegany Counties, where squirrels
may be hunted again from Novem-
ber 1 to November 80, he said.
Doves may be taken until Septem-
ber 30, and from November IS to
December 81. Railbirds can be
hunted until October 81, the Mary
land law taking precedence over
Federal law setting the season from
September l to November 80. The
law giving greater protection takes
precedence" Norris explained.
The dove bag limit is IL this year.

The hunting season on wild water
fowl starts November 2, continuing
