Reports Mexican for your budget — you can't afford to miss these beauties, Chapter Installed . -

NEW YORK. Feb. l8 — (AP) -— Ducks Unlimited, international waterfowl restoration agency, has installed s. Mexican chapter.

Rules and ideals of the conser- vation group now extend virtually the entire length ol’ the North American content. Sportsmen of Canada, long have been affiliated with D.U.

Morton W. Smith of Minneap- olis, president of the organization llid that approximately 200 Mex- ican hunters had. formed the chap- ter following his visit‘ there re- oently. Leader o1 the group is Frank sanborn, Mexico City mer- chant.

The Mexican Chapter’: prime concern will be the elimination of Qnnadas, a man-and-gun combina- tion used by commercial hunters. Belling of gains birds is permitted under Mexican laws, Smith said, and is the incentive to the use of lho anmadas.

In armada: ss many as 600 guns no fired from fixed positions. Ono bank of guns is aimed st the wat- er. Another tier is fixed to fire one loot higher a, second or two later. A third is set a fe-w feet higher and timed another second or two hier.

Weapons used srs made of iron tubes up to two inches in diam- eter. They are loaded through the muzales with powder, paper, scraps of iron, nuts and bolts, The ‘breaches are wired to electric bat- teries and the switches are pulled from a safe rlistanve.

Decoys are used to lure thQ ducks into the line o! firs.

The Mexican hunting season il from Nov. 16 in March ll. That i! the maximum season under the United, States-Mexican Migratory Bird Treaty Act.

If the Mexican sportsmen can oliimlnate the armadas, smith says, ducks will have a much safer win- terlng place and more of them will return to northern breeding And nesting places.

A need for a safer wintering place was recently pointed out by Dr. Ludluw Grlscom of Harvard, u one of the greatest needs in tho duck restoration progrdm. I-ls explained there were adequate breeding grounds in Canada and w’? hunting along United States

sys had been cut down.
