Mallards Moving Into Nebraska LINCOLN. Duck hunting prospects are picking up, reports the Nebraska Game Commis sion. Ducks are numerous in tfre Sand Hills and some lakes are well covered with waterfowl. , Coupled with the news of fresh duck arrivals comes the comment that hunting pressure is low, expecially in the Ogallala duck arrivals comes the com ment that hunting presure is low, particularly in the Ogallala region. About 3,000 mallards have moved into the area. Those gunners hunting usually get their three. Some have also reported limits of Canada geese harvested from a flock in ad vance of normal Canada flights. Mallards are building up at Johnson Reservoir, and about 7,000 waterfowl were observed during one count at Sutherland Reservoir. An estimated 15,000 waterfowl crowded Enders Lake during the first part of the hunt ing season. A large number of diving ducks are passing through the state. These include three spec ies redheads, canvasbacks, and ruddy ducks which are presently short in number. The total bag and possession limit of any hunter may include only one canvasback, or one red head, or one ruddy duck. The three species are difficult to distin guish, and hunters are advised to be sure of what they're shoot ing, j V. K.

That's how Everett E. Peter son, Extension farm economist at the University of Nebraska, sums it up as November begins. "The wheat supply for the current marketing year, which began on July 1, was a record 2.4 billion bushels. This is enough wheat (disregarding class and grade) to provide for nearly four years of domestic use. With exports of 400 million bushels a year, we havs enough wheat now for over two years of both domestic and export needs," the economist points out. "The carryover of hard red winter wheat of 932 million bushels was 73 per cent of total wheat stocks. This will go up an estimated , 1,067 million bushels at the end of this marketing year,. Market prices have risen close to the loan rate and above last year at this time. Further gains will be limited by the sup ply situation. Prices should lise slightly until after Jan. 1, when deferred income sales are made.' "Rains this fall in the central and southern plains have im proved next year's winter wheat crop prospects. Only the wea ther can prevent another in crease in government holdings of wheat in the 1900-61 market ing year." "Prices of all feed grains will decline next month in sympa thy with corn. The harvest of the record corn crop of 4.4 bil lion bushels will depress corn prices below loan rates for sev eral weeks. This is the time to buy corn lor ieecung; saving on price should more than off.-et storage and interest costs. Pri ces will rise seasonally from De cember to spring," Peterson be lieves. He suggests keeping in mind the fact that, "on a loan basis, corn is over priced relative to grain sorghum and other feed grains. The price support on corn is nearly 2 cents a pound, on grain sorghum about 1.5 cents a pound. The feeding val ue of grain sorghum is 90-95 per cent Oi tnat of corn. With plenty of storage, ic may pay to seal home grown corn and buy grain sorghum to feed.
