Both these games will take place on the High School diamond in Sum- merside. The local boys have been practising all spring and summer. and are expected to give ri good account of themselves in these encounters. S

some steps were taken to curtail crow production. a a

1t was also recommfldod that the month of November be added to April as a. skunk bounty month. The chill nights of late October re- mind ‘Jimmie’ skunk of a housing problem and he and his kind flock to farm buildings in search of a warm dry nest for the winter.

- a .

Despite the two thousand odd skunks killed for the bounty of one dollar per snout last April the skunk family is on the increase. They have caused thousands of dollars damage to farmers and poultrymen this spring. One farm- er at Annandala lost all his gos- lings except four he raised under a. hen and were confined in s wire pen. Eleven eggs kept disappear- ing from under a setting goose, one at a time. until all were gone. It was not until nine goslings were taken from under another goose that the skunk was found to be the culprit. Another farmer at Fortune had two of his duck nests robbed by skunks. “

O O

The inclusion of November as a skunk bounty month will go a long way toward checking their increase although a year ‘round war against the skunk tribe will have to be kept up. regardless whether or not a bounty i-s in ef- fect. if this pest is to be whittled down to reasonablemumbers.

O O

Buying operations are well un- der way arzi Hun covey's are be- ginning to show up with pleasing regularity. To date weather condi- tions have been very favourable. Prospects for Ruffed grouse. pheasants sndHuns are bright at. time of writing but the black duck outlook is shrouded in doubt up to the present. Some signs point that a late hatch may save the day. But the way conditions stand at this date it will ind-sometime between the middle and end of August before any definite state- ment of the duck population will be attempted.

The Chukker partridge eggs brought here at regular intervals in lots of 300 by Island Pheasants Unlimited are hatching chick-s at a slightly better than 50-50 basis. The hatchabilliy is slightly under last years shipment. To date ap- proximately 300 chicks have been incubated with a. LITIIYZI lot ex- pected io break their shells a week from today. The first lot are being taken care of by Mr. FA. Stewart Jones, President oi‘ Island Pheas- ants Unlimited and E- Frank Acorn. Secretary of that, orlilfl- izatlon. They have 70 odd birds each and their brooding losses have been less than one per cent. The Chukkrr chicks are hardy and easily brooded. They are fed tur- key starter as'a ‘ration.

Sportsmen from Montague are looking after the second lot and arrangements have been made with members of the spot-tins frater- nity from Souris to take chrsge of the third lot. The Chukka-r is much larger than the Hun averaging one and a half pounds in weight. compared with less than one pound for the Hun or RPPYUXITTI‘ atcly 14 ozs. At least two more 300 ehg lots are due to arrive here and it is hoped t0 118W? between seven and eishi- hundred Chukkers for distribution in late summer and early tall.

WITC

The R. C.A.F. Red Sox climbed out of the cellar in the Summer- side Baseball League last night at the High School diamond by trouncing lfoimsns. who are now cellar occupants. by the score of l2 to 5. The Airmen went to work on Perry. l-lolman‘s starting pit- cher. from the opening gun, the first three men to face him get- ting singles. He was relieved by Cahill in the third inning after six men had crossed the piste.

Cahill was a ‘bit more effective but he, too. was shelled from the mound with four hits 1n the sixth frame. Gallant then took over effectually and subdued the ram- paging Red Sox but by that time the score was i2 to 3 andthe game was in the Airforce bag.

Greig and Foy led the hitting parade. collecting three bingles in five trips'to the batters’ box. Un- derwood and Grady got a brace of safeties each for l-lolmarfs. one of Bonnie's being a triple to left field. Foy pitched well through- out for the victors, limiting Hol- man‘s to six ltits. well-scattered except in the third inning when Holmans bunched three of their hits to account for a trio of runs.

Mr. Cadegan is one of the most interesting raconteurs at the track. his excellent memory and witty remarks make him very popular.

Dr. l‘. C. Dougan was the start- er at the two afternoons race meet at Fredericton. We note where the winners were—2.26 Mixed.
