Very little yard feeding was necessary. There is small possibility of a feed shortage during the remaining months of the winter. The water sup- ply, generally, is sufficient, though a number of reports state that with the fi of creeks and sloughs, some difficulty has been experienced in obtaining a sufficient amount. For the range states, generally, live- stock are wintering well, with only the usual seasonal decline in condition. Snow and cold weather has resulted in considerable feeding, reducing an already short hay crop. s. In North Dakota ranges re open during December. A little snow is reported in sections along the inter- national border. For this period con- dition is virtually the same as last month. Ranges are good in western South Dakota with very little snow. Stock water is short in places. In Montana December weather was mild THE BISMARCK TRIBUN "Ov008 By x: R80.U. 0.5.4 “Yes, siree!

The three commissioners now are here on this task. They are working BURLEIGH COUNTY TREASURER: MAKES ANNUAL REPORT Taxes totaling $250,742.96 were collected for the city of Bismarck during 1928 by the county treasurer's office, records reveal. This sum is $20,802.94 more than the total collections for the city in 1927. Total collections a year “Faume which the county collected 1 the Bismarck schools during jums wi y collected for totaled $167,234.93, which is $15,900.54 more than cofjected the previous Pig In 1927 the county collected $1,229,248.15 and paid out $1,281,325.29.. In 1928 the county Collected $1,203,106.16 and paid out $1,203,288.67. The following statement, prepared from the records in the office of County Treasurer G. L.

One of the aims they have in view is to have a license fee of $10 on deer hunting enacted with provision allowing the commission to open or close seasons, as conditions make either desirable, according to M. A. Hoghaug, Devils Lake, secretary. Ask Protection From Ducks Proceedings of the commission reveal a sort of turning of the tables. Laws exist to protect wild ducks and from wanton hunters. Now comes the hunter, begging protection from the ducks and geese. At a joint meeting of the game and fish committees of the house and senate and the state game and-fish board, Thuraday, a representative in- troduced the problem. Great flocks of ducks from across the Canadian boundary up in Burke and Divide counties do great damage to grain fields. They destroy thou- sands of bushels, he declared. It is not fair for the farmer to suffer this because the law. prohibits - shooting the duck out of season. In this case the duck becomes the marauder and the farmer the victim. However, little encouragement for remedy was given at the meeting. It was pointed out that migratory birds come under federal and not state su- pervision. Members of the Isaak Walton league in Bismarck are reported to be preparing a bill for revision of the game board act so as\to have a one man commission at all times to maintain an office in Bismarck. The Present system of three game and fish commissioners and a secretary, none of whom reside or maintain of- fices in the capital city, is attacked. Propese Jack Rabbit Season Another bill which is also reported in the making, is a measure to pro- tect jack rabbits. It is true that these animals have been veritable pests in past years. Scores of com- munities have held rabbit hunts for the sole purpose of exterminating them. Sportsmen without numbér have carried rifles in their cars and slain thousands’ of rabbits annually at all seasons of the year, just for target practice. Beginning about three years ago, fur dealers appeared in the state of- fering to purchase rabbit hides. Stripping the hides from rabbits, however, was not very remunerative at the rate of 80 cents a pound. Last year the dealers offered to buy the rabbits at 25 cents each, skinning them in their own shops. This year the price has gone to 30 cents. hout western North Dakota in the past two months, hundreds of farmers have put in all their spare time hunting. Farmer boys have been well repaid for hunting. One is reported wherein two ferm- have sold over 3,200 rabbits for $1,066.00 in weeks of hunting. sequence the rabbits are becoming scarce, Protection Yabbits except for the months By Williams MAMIN' POTATUH CHIPS, HEY ?

In the last two years $75,000 was available but the bill presented in the senate calls for an appropriation of $50,000. ‘Simultaneously, over in the house, Rep. Claude C.
