I I I I am not going to state that we have a skunk on evcry farm II'i the province but I do know that we have close to a dozen on some c-f them. Averaging one skunk per farm is not an over estimate and will make the count around 15.000 and not take into account those found on the commons and ur- ban centres. After a month of an intensive drive against. the skunk and the total kill less than 2.000 this fact. has been forcibly brought homo to sportsmen and farmers alike ithat we have a real prob- lem on our hands to keep this pest within reasonable bounds. The skunk 1s very prolific and hardy and left iinmolcstcd for a couple of years ls all the time it wli need to make them as numerous as they ever were.

I have seen geese linger. sometimes in flock; of 20 odd birds, until May 22nd. Its unusual to we so many large flocks present st. so late a date and possibly prestige; a late, cold spring.
