Approximately IS per cent Of this
years duck crop will be destroyed
on the Canadian nesting grounds by
predatory wild life and the drying
up of marshes before the young are
able to fly. In some seasons the es-
timated loss is as high as 80,0OO,OO
eggs and ducklings.
1t is hard to believe that voracious
pike are responsible for the de-
struction of some 100000 duck
lings while other causes destroy g.
100000 more. Farming operations
kill an estimated 100000 q total
as large As that suffered through
marsh fires.
American duck hunters want bet
ter shooting. One way to get 1t
quickly is to join the 10000 sports
men banded in Ducks Unlimited.
With the aid of the Canadian gov
ernment, they have made nearly a
million acres safe for nesting ducks.
Harold Titus The Inside Story OF
Ducks Unlimited in Field and
Stream for March, gives the real
lowdown. You'll believe, as does FL
tinge Warner, that it is the biggest
story of the year-so far as Wild
foWlerS are concerned.

West Point to Boost Sports, Says Retiring Chief
Migraine Headaches
Lead 1rosky TO Ask
For Retired Status
AiIment Cuused Slueeing
First Seeker to Leuve
indians Lost Season
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, Feb. I8.-
Hal Trosky, 29-year-old slugging
first baseman for the Cleveland In
dians, said he has asked to be
placed on the voluntarily retired list
indefinitely" the Des Moines Regis
ter said in a copyrighted story today.
He said his action was motivated
by migraine headaches from which
he has been suffering for some time
and which forced him to leave the
Cleveland club near the end of last
season.
Trosky broke into professional
baseball with Cedar Rapids of the
Mississippi Valley loop in 1881 as
a pitcher. He later shifted to the
outfield and then first base.
He has been with the Cleveland
club nine years and has a major
league batting average of .314.
"I thought it was for the. best
interests of the club, the public and
myself that I quit until can't say
how long-but IL the headaches
don't get better, indefinitely" Tros-
ky declared at his Norway Uowa)
home.
He added President Alva Bradley
of the Indians thought 1t the best
thing to do under the circum-
stances"
He said it will be perfectly all
right whenever l make up my mind
to come back" the Cleveland star
said.
81 have visited various doctors in
the larger cities in the United States
and they have not helped me. If,
after resting this year, find that
I am better, perhaps I'll try to be
reinstated.
IF I don't get better, then my
major league career is over"

GOVERNMENT FREEZES SALE
OF FARM MACHINERY

Effective Sept. II, farm machinery
was frozen by government decree.
The reason for the freezing of farm
machinery was to prevent the pur-
chase by farmers not needing ma
chinery to carry out their farming
operations, thus using up the stocks
available and to utilize the pro-
duction facilities to the best adj
vantage, as many factories have
been converted to war industries.
Farmers needing farm machinery
may secure it by submitting an APP
plication for Purchase to the County
Rationing Board. This Application
for Purchase is needed only for ma
chinery under Classification A. Farm
machinery under Classification B
requires only the certification of
need by the farmers.
In order to secure this machinery
farmers must also need it to COM
plete their years farming operations
this fall Machinery needed next
year cannot be purchased this fall.
