Protests Length
of the New Duck
Hunting Season
Audubon Society Head Among Those
Who Oppose the eSason in the
Different Zones.
New Yori, Aug. Z.Z. 'Incredible
as it may seem," says John H. Baker,
executive director of the National As
sociation of Audubon Societies, "an
executive order issued by the Presi
dent of the United States, based on
advice of the Secretary of Agricul
ture and the Chief of the iBologlcal
Survey, sentences the vanishing Am
erican migratory duck to sixty con
secutive days barrage in the United
States; thirty days each in tv.o zones,
north and south; this in the face of
the government's own estimate of
only some forty ducks per hunter re
maining to return to the breeding
grounds this year.
"Alberta and Saskatchewan, Can
ada, have decreed an open season
from September 1 to November 14;
from Minnesota to Missouri ducks
may be shot from October 21 to No
vember 20; in Arkansas and Louis
iana from November 20 to December
19. For 110 consecutive days the in
dividual migratory duck, winging his
way from Alberta to Louisiana, will
face withering gunfire.
"The season has been set to pro
vide the resident hunter good shoot
ing at the normal peak of duck mir
gration in his neighborhood. Is this
conservation? A thousand times, no!
"For the first time in seven long
years the drought 13 broken and wa
ter in quantity has returned to the
breeding grounds in the prairie prov
inces of Canada and our northern
tier of central western states. What
a golden opportunity to restore the

duck supply! What a stroke of for
tune now passed up, ignored!
"Can it be that those in authority
listened too attentively to the old
stock arguments of those with a com
mercial stake in hunting ducks, those
few die-hard killers who seemingly
would not hesitate to shoot the last
duck sitting on the water? How
much longer will the 120,000,000
people of this country permit the
regulations as to the take of wild
birds and animals, which belong to
the people as a whole, to be dis
vproportioniytely influenced by that
fraction of one per cent of the popu
lation willing to risk, for its pleas
ure or profit, the further depletion of
an endangered natural resource?
"There has been no question that
the surest way to restore ducks is to
stop killing them. Why, then, an
open season? Fear, we are told, that
a closed season would be more dif
ficult to enforce than further restric
tions. Fear, then, is a controlling
factor. Since whenfi may we ask,
has it become necessary for the fed
eral government, fully empowered by
treaty and legislative enactment, to
be swayed by fear?
" 'Ding Darling, Chief of the Bio
logical Surrey, has striven earnestly
to arrive at that recommendation he
deemed best; we are sore at heart
that he has felt impelled to advocate
an open season this year. Let us,
however, give full credit when credit
is due; all conservationists will hail
his courage and wisdom in recom
mending the permanent outlawing of
baiting, live decoys, batteries and
sink boxes, those abuses which have
contributed heavil yto the declin
ation of our duck supply and have,
in many quarters, reduced duck
hunting to a mere matters of slaugh
ter. Their elimination will be glad
news to a host of duck hunters, as
well as conservationists, and con
stitutes a signal victory. '

"The Audubon Association will
continue to fight for those regula

ment, will best serve to restore and
preserve an adequate breeding stock.
We shall do what we can, by pub
licity and otherwise, to build up com

parsonage Monday and Tuesday of
last week, leaving Tuesday for their
home. Mr. Krell is engaged in teach

William Westfall was delivering
wheat to the Farmers elevator here
on Wednesday of last week, having
a very high grade of grain for this
year. He had threshed the week be
fore, storing the wheat in his granary,
but decided to dispose of it.
When Rev. C. F. Heim wa3 assign

Frank Dean, who has been assist
ing with the making of hay and other
farm work in this vicinity, chanced
to light on a -field of old fashioned
timothy hay last week and says it
sure did hang together when he went
to pitch it onto the wagon. This is
just one of the tasks farmers face in
their struggle for a livelihood and the
only thing to do is make the best of
it, "pitching hay while the sun
shines."
