DUCKS AND HOW TO COAX 'EM.
(To the Editor.) - Sir, — I saw a very good paragraph in your paper ,last night hy a true sportsman re feeding wild duck. He has my deepest sypipathy in every respect. I say, too, that no one has any right to entice the ducks away from that sportsman' s private shooting grounds, although I -feel sure that when the before-mentioned sport learns enough about game to know that about 95 per eent. of the ducks he saw on the Bav View swamp were Paradise, then his tears will not flow quite so freely. However, if the Acclimatisation Society will allow him to shoot Paradise on account of his not knowmg one from the other, then I would suggest, as one sport to ano^her, that he engage quite a number of the unemployed to wade rouud . the hides in the Bay View swamp, and frighten the ducks hack to the Tangoio fowl yards. — I am, etc., W. S. M. DUCKLING. Port Ahuriri, April 29, 1930.
