Each season, the influx of duck hunters contributed materially to many stores, restaurants and hotels in the state. Since that time LL; decline in number of wildfowl become so pronounced that some authorities have prophesied the total extinetion of the sport in another five yearsâ€" unless something can be done about it. Fortunately, something is being done about it, and that something deserves the support of every sportsâ€" man. Ducks Unlimited, a nonâ€"profit organization now active in forty states, has begun to restore and imâ€" prove the Canadian breeding grounds of wildfowl. Since eightyâ€" five per cent of the United States supply of wild ducks is hatched in Canada, that location will give liâ€" nois hunters the most ducks per dolâ€" lar. In one instance, a simple dam costing less than $300 restored water to 8,000 acres, and saved countless nesting sites. Ducks Unlimited has for its Iliâ€" nois state chairman Louis H. Barkâ€" hausen, retired business man and the owner of a 2,000 acre hunting preserve on the Sangamon River. Its field work is directed by the exâ€" ecutive secretary, Harrison Kenniâ€" eott, one time Illinois state trapâ€" shooting champion. Both men serve Ducks Unlimited without pay, as do all other officers of the organization. throughout the country. Every dolâ€" lar raised is spent on actual work in Canada. The work of Ducks Unlimited is a heartening evidence of the wholeâ€" some international situation existâ€" ing between the United States and Canada. Compared with the lrmed‘ suspicion so characteristic of Europe and Asia today, our relations with Canada are an oddly hlrmonious‘ note in the discordant symphony of present day world diplomacy. The coâ€"operation of the Canadian govâ€" ernment, the free use of government land, the free assistance of Canâ€" adian citizens with the Ducks Unâ€" limited programâ€"all these are fitâ€" ting tokens of a friendship symbolâ€" ized by thousands of miles of interâ€" ummuc.-,-uumt Purchasers of the two new houses its length by any fortress worthy| â€"both sold for $9,500â€"are A. J. of serious military consideration. Martin and Edward Burkill This will be ignoted by most ple, because it is so eomu'nF The important point which "reâ€" main in the minds of Illinois duck hunters is: Ducks Unlimited can inâ€" crease the Illinois duck supply, with the help of Canada, and the support of our own hunters.
