United States Fish and Wild Life
Service-that went north this spring
to Canadian nesting grounds have
produced a record crop, one that
should bring a slight relaxing of
the 1941 regulations. such as two
week shooting period In January
and possibly the use of live decoys.
July Brings Uncertainty.
July always is a period OF uncer-
tainty In the North because a stretch
of dry weather dries up the potholes
and small lakes and without water
the broods face starvation. This
year heavy June rains over the prov
inces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and
Manitoba guarantee in many areas
water until the broods fly.
Over one quarter of the nesting
grounds there still is the threat of
evaporation, and for the next 80 days
the outcome there will be in doubt.
In many sections crows and magpleS
have increased in nearly the same
proportion as the waterfowl. but, re-
gardless of these natural hazards,
the crop will be larger than those
of the last three years combined.
Should this section get rains now
there is no possible way to compute
the number of birds that will fly
south next fall.
A report from Tom Main, head of
the sportsman's organization, Ducks
Unlimited, might be interesting.
Pintails lead all species in popula-
ton increase, with mallards close
up to them. AS we fly over Mon
treal Lake where great acreages
have grown up with aquatic plants
tens of thousands rise. Caldwell and
widgeon are increasing. Bluewing
and greenwing teal and spoonbills
show huge increase. OF the diving

May Be No Open Season.
The possibility there might be no
open season next fall has not oc-
CURED to many sportsmen, but 1t is
to be considered, for during times of
national stress there always are
some who believe hunting has no
place in nation at war. Others,
and their numbers are surprising,
have the idea shooting never should
be allowed. Such factions often are
able to get silly laws passed while
eyes are focused on more important
legislation. There has been talk
about a closed season next year
possibly 1t might be to save the
powder and shot.
That little item of equipment will
bear little thought, for those shells
in the stores now possibly are all we
will get for the duration. They were
manufactured before December I,
and while plentiful now, will be
scarce when opening day rolls

Tennis in Closed Court

Tennis, the real game, is played
with racquets and balls in a closed
and covered court. 1t is a very old
game, probably being derived from
ball games played by the Greeks
and Romans. Some form of the
game was known and played in the
time of Chaucer. Lawn tennis is
much younger, being invented as re-
Gently as 1874. 1t was first played
on court shaped like an hour
glass. The present shape of court
was adopted in 1877.
