Duck hunters are always eag
erly looking forward to next fall
when they can don their rubber
boots and with their favorite re
trievers engage in their favorite
sport What conditions are they
going to meet, as to the popula
tion of ducks at that time?
Sports Afield endeavors to make
annual surveys on the status of
ducks with the aid of Jimmy
Robinson who bases his predic
tions on actual observations and
the cooperation of the state game
departments.
Hunters everywhere were dis
appointed wnn tne 1946 duck
season. This could be expected.
There was another big increase
in hunters and naturally they
ferreted out every lake and
slough during the open season.
The fact that nearly every state
in the union reported a smaller
kill in ducks last fall seems
startling at first, but actually it
was to be expected. You couldn't
expect to kill as many ducks;
they were still in the north when
you had to put up your gun. You
couldn’t expect to kill as many
ducks in 45 days as you would
in 80 days, the season length in
’45. You couldn’t expect to kill
as many ducks if many of the
local ducks moved southward
before the season opened. Con
sidering all these important fac
tors, it is not too surprising that
our 1946 kill was considerably
less than that in 1945.
Credit must be given to Chief
A1 Day and the Fish and Wild
life Service for its foresight in
reducing the length of the sea
son and the bag limit In 1946. It
would seem to us that the de
sired results have been accom
plished. Had they not done this
the duck situation might be pre
carious. Last year at this time
we suggested the the bag limits
be cut down from 10 ducks a day
to either six or eight. That was
done. There is no doubt that
the dueks are down from what
they we;re several years ago. The
15-a*day bag limit in 1944 was
a sad mistake. The hunters have
increased from 1,700,000 in 1945
to about 2,000,000 last fall. Guns
and shotgun shells are again
available to the public, also
transportation.
However, there is a doubt
that there will be a big addition
al increase in hunters next fall
—in fact there probably will be
no increase. The gravy days are
over and loose money accounted
for many a hunting trip in the
last two years. So don’t be dis
couraged.
We may get another cut in
the bag limits again this year
and we favor more restrictions.
Cutting the bag to 5 a day and
10 in possession is what is ex
pected. Thirty to 45 days ot
shooting is plenty, because the
average huntfer doesn’t get out
over three or four times a year,
anyway. However, nobody, not
even the Fish and Wildlife Serv
ice, is in a position to talk about
game bags and the length of the
Forestry Practices
Money to Farmers
The S. C. State Commission ot
Forestry at Newberry offers as-
sistence to landowners for the
better management of their
woodland. Growing timber is
very profitable if good forestry
methods are used, as our timber
grows very fast, and even small
woodlots should have good at
tention. Even small woodland
areas bring in a lot of revenue.
Good trees are often cut for fuel-
wood, and crooked, limby, wolf
trees are left standing. Land-
owners should get away from
this waste. Cut only the poorest
grade trees for fuel wood. Forest
lands are often denuded by clear
cutting and in many cases not
even seed trees are left. This
kind of cutting is like killing the
season at this time. Nobody can
predict what the duck hatch will
be next summer. We may have
a severe drouth or we may have
the greatest rearing season in
years. Nobody can answer this
question. That will be answer
ed in mid-August by Nature,
and we will report on the duck
population again at that time.

It takes land which has been
clear cut marly years to produce
a new timber crop, and in many
instances it has to be planted. In
some cases even planting is neg
lected, resulting in the land be
ing left idle and useless. If selec
tive cutting is done landowners
can get a profitable cutting ev
ery 10 to 15 years and keep our
timber growing.
Yes, the war is over.
But the Red Cross war against misery and suffering never
ends. In peace, as in war, the Red Cross keeps on fighting—
fighting f6r human happiness and welfare all over the world.
