United States Marine Corps. :.
In a few days, we should be re-
ceiving regulations for the coming
wildfowling season from the Fish
and Wildlife Service. Various re-
ports from breeding grounds OF the
wild waterfowl have been very con-
fusing to most duck hunters. The
National Audubon Society, for ins
stance, is taking an extremely pes
simistic view of the situation and
John H. Baker, its president, has
come out fiat-footedly for a COM
pletely closed season this year. On
the other hand, Ducks Unlimited,
which continuously is soliciting
funds with which to improve or
IcCOllQlVlUkl Sd44u$AAoAA aASScA2AS
grounds, and doing good job with
these funds, has been emphasizing
the brighter side of the picture, al
though somewhat more cautiously
than heretofore.
The Federal Fish and Wildlife
Service, which has its own obser-
vers in the field, land undoubtedly
is in better position to judge the
overall picture more accurately, has
continued to hew to its middle of
the-road findings, which when they
differ from those published by the
other two, bring confusion into the
minds of sportsmen. Our Federal
agency is making an earnest effort
to do the right thing by both the
waterfowl and the sportsmen. It is
unfortunate that their efforts are
being somewhat stymied by the
undoubtedly well-intentioned re-
ports of the independent agencies
We wish to compliment Al Day ano
his associates Of the FWLS on their
splendid handling of what has been
to them, a very trying situation.

Ashe county poultrymen will
compete with poultry breeders
in twelve southeastern states in
the l947 phase of the nationwide
Chicken-of- Tomorrow program
with more than 3400 poultry
raisers from this county eligible
to enter the competition, accord
ing to D. D. Slade, chairman of
the national Chicken-of-Tomor-
row contest committee.
"All that is required for Ashe
county poultrymen to become a
part of this important breeding
program is a flock of SO baby
chicks hatched between March
"a, and &c." Slade said. "Poultry-
men entering the contest are urg-
ed to contact c. J. Maupin, Ex-
tension poultryman, North Car
olina State College, Raleigh,
chairman of the contest COM
mittee in this state"
Aimed at developing chickens
with improved meat-type charac-
teristics, the contest carries
$4,000 grand prize in 1948 pro
vided by A and P Food Stores
and $4,000 in regional prizes. The
top award will go to the poultry
breeder who develops the most
improved meat-type chicken.
Slade urged North Carolina
pouItrymen to continue their eff
forts to develop superior meat
type chickens which, he said, are
paying increased dividends to the
entire state. He pointed to the
Chicken-of- Tomorrow contest as
an outstanding example of the
poultry industry's determination
to provide consumers with better
chicken dinners.
