However, many of the boys are rorrying about the northern flight, ast year this flight did not develop a strongly as in former years, and nit few ducks came down from the rarth. If the ducks do not come down his year, the boys may just as well nake up their minds that our flight ras been anchored somewhere, and hey have no one to blame but thems- 11 C I pends upon weather conditions. Heavy frosts and stormy weather will drive the ducks south. If the ducks that formerly came through Utah have changed their migration course, the boys here will again have a poor season. There are not enough local ducks to supply all the hunters and we depend upon the northern flight for our largest and best ducks. There is one big handicap with the duck question. In old Mexico the greedy market hunters still kill for T I Z EN 13 the' market. If Mexico would join with the United States and Canada, then we might make the duck come back.

His objection to it was that the Federal tax of $1 per year and government interference. In a talk given by Madsen he said that it was an outrage to charge the poor farmers an extra dollar to shoot ducks. The files of the daily press will corroborate this statement. As a result the bill was killed because the Dave Madsen, but west to realize, through failed nce or where formerly he was vinegar. boney Ducks EVERY DAY ignora- otherwise, that the duck was making its last stand. The writer predicted the poor shoot-lu- g last year before the season opened, and no doubt the poor shooting and scarcity of ducks last year bought Dave Madsen to his senses, because now we find him spreading pour-.in- g not grow upon trees, and you want ducks you must provide jdequate grounds for the birds for and where they can secure do enugh feed.
