Natures Children
Golden Crowned Sparrow
(ZOnOtrichia coronata)

and olive green has a tendency to
impart TO the owner a Schoolboy
appearance-on a diminutive scale,
as he goes gayly about always find
ing something of interest.
Investigation reveals that these
sparrows are almost entirely vege-
tarians. The animal food, con-
SiSting of almost every kind of
insect, amounts to 0.9 per cent of the
diet It seems that meat is added to
the diet only as it is present where
buds, flowers, grains and weed seeds
are also served. There has been
some controversy about the golden
crowns love for the buds and flowers
of fruit trees. This can be serious
if there is too much concentration
on them by the sparrows during the
vital time of budding and Towering.
Elderberry fruit and grapes appeal
greatly to the golden-crowns The
fondness for weed seeds places
these Alaskan neighbors on our
credit list.
The song of this sparrow is pure
whistle, which any one may learn
to initiate in one afternoon. This
to the excitement and CONSERVATION
of the bird His habit of singing in
the rain is endearing. The song is
more like bit of church music,
not having the lifting joyousness of
the songs of other sparrow cousins.
During the hours when they are
travelling scarcely any sound is
heard. Whether this is a precau-
tionary measure or one of conserving
strength we do not know.
Upon their arrival in the late
autumn at their favorite winter
resorts there appears to be an air
of expectancy about them. Their
general manner Is one of friendli-
ness and good department. Scraps
of food tossed out to them are re-
ceived in most gracious manner.
We find these sparrows get along
nicely with their relatives and
neighbors. Therefore we can give
to you very acceptable report on
the golden-crowned sparrows and
we hope you will have an oppor-
ts1nity to know them better.

Another innova ton of the Fish
Peddlers' meeting every day at noon,
Monday through Friday, at the Nep-
tune Room, is the election of a diff
ferent individual to preside each
day-Frank Mulkern, Tuesdays; Jim
McClintock, Wednesdays; Bill Gar
rison, Thursdays, and Dewitt Harry,

benefit of newcomers who might be
a little shy in getting acquainted.
But did any one ever see a retiring

Demand for Tyco0ns Down.
This summer we believed the de-
fense program might affect the
supply of Tycoon rods because Frank
O'Brien had gone into production
of airplane parts. From the little
shop on Coral Way at Miami, where
big-game anglers from over the
world gathered to see their rods
made, has grown high-speed part
production plant covering 10000
square feet. One corner now is all
that can be given to rodmaking.
Frank, in town for a few hours, says
1t is the demand that is off, not the
output.
We wonder how long even that
will continue, for sporting tackle
probably will rate low in the priority
order. The tonkin cane from the
Far East isn't coming in, and steel,
which is the only logical substitute
for rod material, will not be available
for on-essential so long as ships
and shells are needed.
We noted some weeks back the
new tax as well as a natural in
crease in all fishing tackle and the
advisabinty OF filling spring needs
cary.

OUTDOORS va. ~A 4cxs&u4x
Mottumuskeet Goose Limit Increased
Beur and Bour Hunts Scheduled

Federal regulations on waterfowl,
as they originally were released, linn
tied the bag of Canada geese to
three in the aggregate of all kinds
during any seven consecutive days"
in several sections of the country.
Hyde County, N. c., was the one
area in the East included in this
drastic reduction of bag limits. Lake
Mattamuskeet lies wholly in this
county.
These special bag limits were an
experiment in game management
because records of the last several
seasons show that the goose kill has
been altogether too heavy. With
such local measures it was hoped
to regulate the kill on problem areas
without changing the general regu-
lations.
Special regulations might be the
answer to the control of the bird
bill. but they surely will bring COM
plants from Sportsmen using those
areas. That has been the result in
Hyde County, although the claim is
the flights already are heavy and
there are ample Canadas for the
regular limit.
There are few changes ever made
in the Federal regulations once they
have been issued, but this petition
of the North Carolian sportsmen
brought forth partial amendment.
The bag limit on geese in Hyde
County has been increased to six in
seven days. For the run-o the mill
wildfoWler that is as good as the
normal bag of three and a two-day
possession limit, for he usually hunts
only one or two days each week
anyway.
In the Mattamuskeet Lake area
and Currituck Sound it isn't any
trick at all to shoot the daily limit
of geese within an hour after the
decoys are out, after which only bass
fishing remains for the balance of
the day.
