DUCKS During the weeks of deep snow six thousand ducks were fed on the Taylor Bros I farm below the Jensen Dam. Many starved but In OS t of them survived. i A Big Shot from the Irrigation City I advised to let them starve as they had lost their migratory instinct etc. The ducks ■ ¡ are fat and healthy now. If they are a f nuisance then take action in the fall. Some men, like ducks lose their in- j stinct to return to their roost at the appointed time. Then we presume the penalty should be a long fast and in the end perish with hunger.
