 Most hunters returned 10 wcris this morning with bags of ducks. There were few limits as ducks flew high in a rainless sky, and perhaps only one or two geese were shot. the wary ganders taking wing early, enc big flock disdainfully circlins the flats several times a half hour before seven o'clock,
 The Game Commission office re- ported a number of early shots mostly accidental, and no viola tions, with more Il unters thar ever before.'

Give Attention Now to
Early Spring Flowers

Early soWn pansies, double Eng
lish daisies and other early spring
Towering plants will have attained
substantial size by this time. In
order to help those still struggling
in the seed beds it is just as well
to remove the extra heavy ones and
set them in their permanent loca-
tons. If that is done now con-
siderable progress will have been
made in plant growth before the
ground is ready to work next spring.
For plants of this sort select a
sunny location; a little shade in the
afternoon is desirable. The soil
should be good garden loan, sharp
enough to allow perfect drainage If
the drainage is poor it is just as
we'll to raise the bed inches above
the surrounding soil. Cover the
entire bed with an inch or more
of well-rotted manure. If this can
not be obtained pulverized sheep or
COW manure, obtainable from the
seedhouses, can be substituted. OBJ
viously, smaller quantities of the
latter will be used. After this COW
ering is turned in the plants can
be set. Six inches apart is a good
distance.
After the ground is frozen the
plants can be lightly protected with
straw, pine boughs or similar ma
terial.

rest. If not sufficiently dried con-
tinue the drying process next day.
Frost-proof storage is demanded by
Gamma bulbs. Cold and dampness
will surely cause the bulbs to decay.
While the bulbs can be stored in any
ordinary cellar condition, it has been
found that they shrivel excessively
unless some means is used to guard
against this. Burying them in pail
of sand will prevent too much
shriveling.
If there are but few bulbs to be
protected is is just as we'll to place
them in gallon-slze buckets, which
are then stored in the cellar away

Should they show excessive dry
ness in midwinter light sprinkling
