WAof floss Eat
Largemouth bass eat a wide
variety of foods. Insects and small
fishes form a large part of their
diet, and crayfish and frogs also
«re taken rather frequently. The
young bass feed largely on water
fleas during their first few weeks,
after which aquatic insects and
small fish comprise an increasing
ly large part of their food.
Largemouths in the southern
states grow more rapidly than do
those in northern waters, because
the growing season is longer. How
ever, the southern fish seldom live
longer than eight years, while a
maximum age of 15 years has been
recorded for northern members of
file species. As a matter of interest
It may be noted that the world’s
record largemouth, caught in Flori
da, weighed slightly over 22 pounds.
The baits used successfully in
bass fishing are many and varied.
Some of the more widely used
natural baits are minnows, cray
fish, grasshoppers and helgramites.
Artificial baits include a large
variety of both surface and under
water lures for use on casting rodi;
or flyrods. Among tflese are flies,
popping bugs, floating and deep
running plugs, and spoons.
It may be safely stated that no
matter when, where, or how you
fbh, you’ll never forget the thrill
of landing a largemouth which can
qualify for the proud name “old
lineside.” .

Duck Outlook
All signs indicate that the masses
of waterfowl breeding in western
Canada are determined to make
1951 one of the most productive*sea-
sons in recent years. Their chief
ally is Mother Nature, this sem
ester apparently in one of her most
beneficent moods.
Summing up general waterfowl
conditions in the June issue of the
“Duckological,’’ Bert W. Cart
wright, chief naturalist of Ducks
Unlimited (Canada), reports, “Duck
•breeding conditions and surface
waters are more uniformly ideal
from Western Ontario across the
prairies to the Rocky Mountains
and from the International boun
dary north to the Peace River dis
trict in north-westem Alberta, tha*_
they have been in any previous year
since Ducks Unlimited started in
1938."

For The Defense
The persecution of beneficial
hawks has gone on for centuries,
and from the files of the Cincinnati
Conservation Society, which is
making an extensive study of
hawks and owls, some of the rea
sons for this persecution have come
forth.
English game keepers shot hawks
for centuries. These were the true
“bird hawks’’, similar to our blue-
darters, the sharp - shinned and
Cooper’s hawks. When the colonists
came to these shores all birds of
prey were considered hawks. The
sicw-flying Buteos, like the redtail,
which were called “buzzards" in
England, became lumped with the
damage-doing darters. All hawks,
to the layman, are “chicken
hawks". Our beneficial hawks have
suffered ever since.
The soaring hawks, or mouse
hawks, are easily hit with a shot
gun, and they bear the brunt of the
persecution. These are the birds
you see strung up along fences; a
tribute to the farmer’s ignorance
of the good they do.

No "Kid Stuff"
Richard Cameron, Pittsfield,
Mass., is a candidate for the Alger-
story fishing hero of the year in
Maine. s
With an $11 trout-fishing outfit,
young Cameron confounded, re
cently, all of the seasoned Atlantic
salmon fishermen on the Narragua-
gus river, Cherryfield.
It was his first Atlantic salmon
fishing trip, yet with a 4-oz. rod,
four-lb. test leader and No. 8 buck-
tail fly, he took two huge salmon in
one day. The first, an 11-pounder,
provided such a thrill that Cameron
moved up-river from Academy pool
to Little Falls pool and proceeded
to strike a “One-That-Didn’t-Get-
Away dub" lunker weighing 16 lbs.
and 11-ounces.
Cameron played his second
salmon 2Vi hours.
“He is one of the best fisher
men we’ve seen in this section,"
said Game Warden Wally Barron,
Cherryfield, afterwards. “He had
to be good to land such fish on
trout tackle."
In Black & White
Melanism is that condition of
an oversupply of black pigment in
the skin. Hence, an occasional black
deer, squirrel, rat or other animal,
and the Melanistic Mutant pheasant
which has been bred from occa
sional Melanistic offspring of the
Ringneck.
Albinoism is the condition of a
lack of pigment in the skin. So, we
have an occasional white deer,
squirrel or other animal, and the
White pheasan*

“Any lack?" he asked.
“Any luck!" was the answer.
“Why. I got 40 pike oat of here

“Do you know who 1 am?"
“No," said the fisherman.
“I’m the chief magistrate here,

“No."

Scott the explorer applied to
Lloyd George for assistance for his
last polar expedition. The Chan
cellor, as he then was, advised Scott
to see a certain rich landowner who
was interested in polar research.
The explorer did so, and again
called on Lloyd George.
“Were you successful?” asked the
Chancellor.
“He’s giving me a thousand,"
was the reply, “but he has under
taken to raise 50,000 pounds if I
can persuade you to come with me,
and I’m to have a million if I man
age to leave you there."
They Always Do
Tommy came home proudly from
his first day at schooL
“What did you learn in school?"
asked his mother.
“Nothing,” said Tommy; then,
seeing the look of disappointment
on her face, he added, “but I
learned a lot during recess!"

He had joined a golf club, and on
his first round he hit the ball a
mighty swipe which by some mira
cle landed it in the hole in one.
At the second tee came another
miracle. Again he did the hole in
one, and as the ball disappeared
into the hole he turned round, white
and trembling.
“Gosh!" he breathed. “I thought
I’d missed it that time."
* Remedial
The teacher wrote on the black
board: “I ain’t had no fun all sum

in the front row: “Harry, what
should I do to correct that?"
“Mebbe—get a boy friend?” he
suggested helpfully.
Deflation Note
A successful businessman after
eight years of absence alighted at
the station of the old home town.
There was, despite his expecta
tion, no one on the platform he
knew. No one. ,
Discouraged, he sought out the
station master, a friend from his
boyhood. To him at least he would
be welcome, and he was about to
extend a hearty greeting, when the
other spoke first.
“Hello, George." he said, “Going
away?"

Down the street came the politi

gressman. The latter was inclined
to vanity and, as they rounded a
corner, he remarked with a self-
satisfied expression, "Say did you
see that good-looking girl smile
at me?"
“Smile?" shot back the gruff
political boss. "Why, the first time
I saw you. I laughed out loud!"
Tour to Hades?
The American visitor was

Selecting A Water Heater
QUESTION i I’m contemplat
ing buying a water heater. My
water supply has a high lime
content and I’d like to know if
lime will collect on the walls of a
glass-lined heater. 1 don’t know
whether to buy a water softener
or not. If 1 can get a satisfactory
length of service with a glass
lined tank, minus a softener, it
will mean a real saving for me.
Glass lined tanks are guaranteed
against rust and corrosion, but 1
wonder if the same holds true
when there is lime in the water.
ANSWER: The lime would be
less likely to stick to a glass lin
ing than it would to a rough metal
surface. It sounds like a good
investment to me. Regarding a
water softener, I believe you have
the wrong idea as to the cost of
of these units. The Architects
Samples Exhibi, 101 Park Ave.,
New York 17, can furnish you
with names of manufacturers
and you may find that the price
of a good one would not be at all
excessive.
