Asdaringontbetrackasheis retiring oﬂ it, Joe O'Brien first came to prominence in 194'! when he won 44 dashes in his native Canada and then captured 84 more in the U. 8. to wind up with a total of 128 that topped all reins- men on both sides of the border. At the end of the season. Sep Pslin picked him up as his right hand man for the Castieton Farm of Lexington. Ky. Although O'Brien shared Castletcn mounts with Pslin in 1948. he was the m. tion’a sixth largut money-winning driver with more than $90,000 to his credit. I-Iis big triumph of the year came with Indian Land in the $50.01!) Golden West Pace. In the fall of '48, Joe resigned from Castleton _and opened a pub- lic stable, which he campaigned mainly at Roosevelt Raceway last year before finishing out the sea- son at Hollywood Park. Again he was among the top drivers. land- ing seventh in the money column with 8113.670 and twelfth in the dash-twinning list with 76.

Just as soon as the weather permits a full staff of carpenters and oth- ers will commence re-building barns and stables that were torn down. Repairs will be made to the race track stables and the track thoroughly gone over and reconditioned.

The duck populatlbn in 3 WI! Indies shows a 12 per cent de- crease compared with 1949 while in Mexico ducks wintering in that country dropped 25 per cent. other areas in the States show from 12 to 15 per cent decrease. It is s,p- parent that our duck surplus has been wiped out. The kill was heavy in 1940. The U. S. Fish and Wild- life Service reported that seventeen million ducks and geese were taken in the States last season and three million more were lost through

0 I O

A Wildlife commentator in the States has something to say in re- spect to the cause of this water- fowl shortagc and is quoted in part as follows: “Waterfowl gains were further threatened last season by flagrant violations of hunting laws. A senate spokesman said reoen‘Iy that nation-wide game laws of- fenses were the worst in more than a decade and told the senate that illicit shooting could well cancel out possible increases in duck and Boose populations ..."

O O C

To this columnists way of think- ing over shooting and non-observ ance of game laws are the two main causes of the decrease in duck population. Ducks were plentiful in

dlcate thst the dauy bag limit and limits were ignored in some in- stances.

Whether cr.n.ol restrictive legis- lation will imposed in respect to duck huntln for the coming sea- son of 1950 will depend upon the coming hatch A bumper northern hatch saved the day for P. I. 1. hunters last fall. Although black dnclcs were present last April and May in this province in normal numbers the hatch was a flop. Game observers are of the opinion that no one cause was responsible. skunks and crews are known to have taken a heavy toll of eggs and in certain easier duck breedinl grounds raccoons are suspected of having destroyed numbers of duck nests. Coons are very plentiful in sections of southern Queens and Kings counties and, like the slourik and crew. are very fond of eggs.

Last fall Domlnio Wildlife Ol- flcials took a game bag check in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and made the rather startling dis‘- covery that S per cent of the ducks found in hunter's bags were young birds of the year. This shows only too how quick the duck population can drop 11 the hatch,is below normal. To be frank this columnist is not too optimistic about the coming duck season. our breeding stock is below last sea- son's supply. .We had a better then average hatch last summer over the general duck breeding areas, on average that Nature seldom duplic- ates. Even if the 1950 batch is on a par with 1949 we will still be ap- prox. Ll per cent in the red if the 1950 hatch is poor duck hunters may he prepared for anything.

Methinks an. eirtehslve campaign against the skunk and crow is in order for April and May if we hope to improve our duck prospects. Every duck nest destroyed by a skunk or crow means less ducks in the fall and every nest saved means that many more ducks. skunks are plentiful this spring and some districts are almost over run with the pests. Residents of sonris tell me its hardly safe to walk the streets after dark. crows too do not seem to be getting any scarcer and its up to duck hunters and sportsmen in general to get busy and think of some scheme to cut down on their numbers.
