Following the tussle Sunday a picnic will be held with players and their families attending. It will be in the Boy Scout area of Hawthorne park. tion angle la the current issue of the Ducks Unlimited "Ducko logical". Chief Naturalist Bert W. Cartwright goes on, "Condi tions as they exist over the whole range and the duck .crop now in sight are both infinitely better than they were last year at this time". - The report states that nesting success has been variable to date throughout the prairie region and among different species. In Manitoba, first nestings by mal lards and pintails in pothole country has been disappointing. Blame is placed on. floods, agri cultural activities and predation. Best nesting -success in this area to date goes to the canvasback, Up to June 25, recorded mallard a species which nests over water, broods averaged 9.1 young. . A heavy duck crop from first nestings is reported from both eastern and western Saskatche wan. Yet the famed Caron Pot holes study area of southern Sas katchewan, a region with a nest ing density of over 100 breeding pairs per square mile, showed only 12 per cent success from first attempts. The same heavy production is western and central portions of attributed to southeastern, south Alberta. A. considerable area of southern Alberta is undergoing drought conditions and some broods have been lost, especially among the Pintails. Canada Geese are enjoying a good year in this region, particularly, in the Eastern Irrigation District, where many Ducks Unlimited projects are located. Swinging to water conditions generally, Cartwright states, "Except for the drought area in southern Alberta, there is ample surface water almost every where to see hatches from seer ond nestings safely on the wing . . . This is subject to a continu ation of favorable weather con ditions".
