NOT STAY LONG
: AT LAKE MERRITi
—
OAKLAND.—It's going to be a
gra inless winter for the thousands
of wild ducks which yearly flock
to Lake Merritt in the heart of this
s city. The Oakland Chamber of
Commerce has abandoned its an
‘ nual pageant in welcome to the fowl
|, and food conservation orders have
*; prohibited the feeding of barley
! and other grain to them, as has been
i the custom in the past.
> i
W. W. Richards, a hunter of big
! and little game all over the 'North
American continent, wha has made
j a yearly study of the duck flight
' to Lake Merritt, thinks there will be
1 as many this season as formerly,
i
. but they will not stay as long. He
‘says:
: i “The first ducks to reach Lake
i Merritt are the sprig and pintails.
: I They begin arriving the latter part
i of August. Most of thcyn come
- ! from the Klamath reservation- neai
! the California-Oregon line.
^ "The next flight consists of pin
I tail, widgeon, green wing teal, shov
°lelers, gadwell, and mallard. Thev
I arrive about the middle of October
e j “The last flight comes from thi
P Yukon delta and Saskatchewan, am
i
! consists of canvasbacks and red
i heads.
i “I have hunted ducks all over th<
1 | country, but on no other body o
d water have I ever seen so man;
it i birds of so many different varieties
e i all dwelling in peace with each othe
i and with mankind, in the heart o

i TULARE. Cal.—In the vicinit
j of Corcoran, on Lake Tulare, in th
j western section of this country, ur
usually successful experiments i
■ cotton growing have been made th
; year and a largely incroasedl acrt
1 age has been planted and the cro
has exceeded all expectations, bot
| in quality and quantity. As th
growers have contracted for th
| sale of the crop to the governmei
i at 80 cents per pound, it is provin
| profitable enouiih to induce othei
; to change from other crops to th
| new product.
i One advantage which growe)
! here are said to have over tho;
j in other sections, is that with r
« 1 rainfall during the period of matu
i ity and for some time afterward
,1 there is no need for picking imm
diately after the crop is ripe.. Th
i consequence is that there is no d
j mand for a large number of picke
| for a short period, and the crc
