Harvest MiIkWeed
For u. 5. Navy

Sometime this month northern
Michigan will witness the rare
spectacle Of people picking milk
weed for profit. Thousands of tons
are expected TO be harvested after
Labor Day by the Milkweed Prod
ucts Development Company, which
has a contract with the United
States Navy.
Pickers are now being signed
up. The conservation department
has ruled that milkweed may be
harvested from state-owned lands
without the formality of. a permit
or the payment of a fee.
Until this year milkweed always
has been considered a nuisance on
northern farms.

kind that gives prizes without

Can Be Useful

Well, maybe lis true, you'll
never reach the front line, espe-
cially with a shotgun, but it's a
mighty useful weapon TO know
how TO use for home defense.
On the other hand, who knows
but what you might become in

plenty to hunt in Michigan. Sup

Training School to participate in
special matches at both trap and
skeet. These men, whose training
includes trap and skeet shooting
as an aid to aerial gunnery, are
expected to give good account
of themselves.
Serious to Hunters
There's another important group
who take their shooting seriously
and pride themselves in their
craftsmanship ability. It's Michi-
gan's 100000 hunters. Detroit,
which has more than a quarter
of a million, proved that last year,
turning out by the thousands
and setting a new worlds record
when 1904 hunters blasted at a
two-day program, while $4,000
others looked on.
This years program will be far
more elaborate. Several new acts,
shotgun instructors. jeeps, army
ambulances, machine guns, anti
aircraft guns and other war ma
terial will be on display during
the tournament.
One of the outstanding attrac-
tons is the donation of $1,000 IN
war savings stamps for prizes
made by Montgomery Ward & Co.
The stamps are divided into 500
prizes of 81 each and will be
awarded to winning shooters on
the Lewis class basis, which means
that every fourth shooter. regard
less of how many targets he
breaks will win.

Wins Many Titles

Since then she has won more
national titles, trophies and medals
than any other woman in America.
At most registered tournaments
she attends, she defeats both men
and women. She's won the
women's Grand American trap
shooting titles so many times she's
lost track. but one record she'll
never forget is the time she broke
359 consecutive targets at Van
dalia, the home of trapshooting.
She came 10 the National tour
nament that year with an average
of close TO SO per cent and because
of her prowess, she was placed on
the 23-yard line, handicap that
only the top ranking men shooters
of the country ever GET.

Startling Figure

According TO hunters reports
rs, 692 deer were taken during the
last season. This represents ap-
proximately 10,975, 900 pounds OF
fresh meat.
THAT IL a rather startling
figure, especially I'm these times
when 1t Is necessary that we re-
lease as much fresh meat to our
armed forces and our allies as
we can spare" Hoffmaster said.
To the criticism that hunters
use shells that might be turned
over to the armed forces, Hoff-
said that most Michigan
deer hunters already have their
ammunition and that shells used
in deer rifles cannot be used as
army ammunition.
HoffmaSter also pointed out the
recreational value of hunting ahd
to the need for controlling" the
deer herd from a biological point
of view.
Shares His Vieuos
Owe some day may appreci-
ate more than, now and need
the training and experience OBJ
tanned by more than 100000
men armed with rifles who
spend a couple of weeks i'm our
north woods every fall" he said.
Sharing his views was Lloyd
Eagan, president of the Detroit
Sportsmen's Congress.
"For the last six months pe0-
pie who do not know what they
are talking about ask that not
only the deer season, but the
small game season as well, be
closed this fall. Any one that
understands the situation knows
that ammunition already proc
eSsed cannot be made into army
ammunition" Eagan. said.
