With BILL AcKERMAN

and Virginia's tomorrow it is worth
noting for the promise they hold for
us here.
Some Canadas Are Here.
Some Canadas already have
reached this area, for flocks have
been making one-night stands on
Parmunkey Greek for more than a
week. Several small flocks have
been noted down the Potomac. Most
important, however, is word from
Currituck that the vanguard has
arrived there.
Teal, mallards, black ducks and
pintails have been feeding for sew
eral weeks along the Outer Banks,
where State game protectors are
predicting the greatest season in a
decade.
Dog owners here and there have
been having dificulty with some OF
the prepared foods on the market.
One in particular does not keep
hunting dogs in good condition, it
is said. About that we wouldn't
know. Neither do we expect to have
an analysis made to discover where
the fault is, but we note the bare
fact so that those who do not know
may learn that none of the pre-
pared dog foods may be fed alone:
that the ingredients of each should
be studied so that balanced ra-
ton may be obtained by alterna-
ton.
Maryland Anglers Active.
The Maryland State Game and
Fish Protective Association is one
of the Oldest sportsmens organiza-
tions in the country and the largest
and most active in the State. The
annual meeting tomorrow in Balti-
more is unusually important be-
cause the coming year will find the
Legislature in session and 1t is
hoped that black bass bill may be
presented that will withstand the
attack of Eastern Shore commercial
fishermen.
Present plans call for a confer
ence Of all sportsmen's organiza-
tions in the State to formulate and
adopt a bill for the protection of
black bass that they will present to
the General Assembly.
At every session a bass bill has
been presented, but the bills have
been traded off for fireworks bills
and whatnot. When there was
nothing else to interfere, the shore
men, dressed in slickers and boots,
unfailingly appeared to protest TAX
ing from them this fishing that
meant food and clothing for their
families, they claimed. AS a mat
ter of fact, the few hundred dollars
annually received for black bass
wouldn't keep single family for a
year.
