Good Hunting Season Predicted RALEIGH—Thanksgiving means turkey to many Tar Heels, but to thousands of North Carolina sportsmen it also means ducks. The special Thanksgiving water fowl season will run from November 37-29, and the final por tion of the waterfowl season will run from December 15 through January 17. Biologists have noted large numbers of ducks in coastal areas during recent waterfowl observation flights. While this can change dramatically in a short time-a sudden, cold snap could send the birds further south-the present outlook for the season is good. “It’s very difficult to predict the duck season, but right now we’re seeing quite a few birds,” said Dennis Luszcz of Edenton, water fowl project leader for the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. “Duck numbers usually peak in North Carolina in early November. We’re finding a lot of pintails, widgeon, green-wing teal, and diving ducks such as scaup. Often, these birds except scaup will be gone by Thanksgiving-a lot just depends on the weather, If we have mild weather, the birds will usually stay. We’ve also noticed that the aquatic vegetation that serves as waterfowl foods seems to be in better shape than last year, and that may help keep the birds here.” “Around Thanksgiving, we begin to see early migrating mallards from the north. That’s also usually the peak of the nor thern wood duck migration. Some of the best hunting for woodies, especially in the beaver ponds and small swamps of the Coastal Plain and Piedmont, is found at that time. Although duck numbers are down overall, if a lot of the birds stop here we could have a pretty good season.” The bag limit for ducks is four birds daily which may include no more than one black duck, two wood ducks, two redheads, three mallards of which only one may be a hen, and two pintails. In ad dition to the regular bag limit of four ducks, hunters may take two bonus scaup in all waters east of US I7 except currit{ick Sound --vSfimters may alsp j Ice two bonus blue and green wing teal during the regular duck season through December 17. “We’d also like to remind hunters that canvasbacks may not be taken this year,” said Luszcz. “Declining canvasback popula tions have prompted the U.S. Fist and Wildlife Service to close the season for this species.” Waterfowl hunters are also re quired to have a hunting license and a federal duck stamp. Although not required by law, the Commission also urges hunters tc purchase a voluntary North Carolina Waterfowl Conservation Stamp. These are available for $5.50 each from license agents. “Funds from the sale of these Technician Request Okayed RALEIGH—Four North Carolina counties will have stronger programs for reducing pollution of the state’s waters as a result of action taken by the N.C. Soil and Water Conservation Com mission last week. The commis sion denied request from two other counties. Meeting Nov. 12 in Raleigh, die commission approved funds for the N.C. Agricultural Co6t-Share Program for four counties, which are part of the 33 counties par ticipating in the program across the state. The state Cost-Share Program funds Best Management Pralcties (BMP’s) by farmers and lan downers to reduce stream pollu tion from sediment, nutrients, animal wastes and pesticides. The program pays 75 percent of the average cost for each of the practices, up to $15,000 per appli cant per year. Some of these prac tices include conservation tillage, animal waste management and conversion of cropland. Three counties-Perquimans, Chowan and Gates-were given approval to hire one technician. The program and three counties will fund this position on a 50-50 basis, with each county paying one-third of the 50 per cent. The technician will be shared among die three soil and water conserva tion districts. The commission also approved appointments for 91 men and women as district supervisors statewide. Seventy-four super visors were re-appointed for jftptyer foiir-yearfcerm. Spc were appointed If) fill unexpired terms. Eleven were approved to fill new ly expired positions. Almost 500 supervisors cover 94 soil and water conservation districts statewide and help farmers and landowners develop conservation The Betty Shoppe For your shopping convenience we will be open on Sunday’s Dec. 14 & 21 from 1 til 6.

All of these areas offer excellent habitat for waterfowl.” practices. The Soil and Water conserva tion Commission sets guidelines for the state’s cost-share program and matching funds. Tobacco Growers Quota Decided RALEIGH—State Agriculture Commissioner Jim Graham has asked that Secretary of Agriculture Richard Lyng set the 1987 effective tobacco quota at 729.3 million pounds. This request came in a letter from Commissoner Graham to Dr. Howard Williams of the Com modity Analysis Division, USDA Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. Graham based his request on the following premises: (1) that the tobacco companies will report planned purchases of 360.7 million pounds in 1987, the same amount as 1986; (2) that export will total 383.2 million pounds approximate ly; and (3) that the under marketings for 1986 will total ap proximately 30 million pounds, with a restriction on over marketing of only 3 per cent above their quota. He stated, “For the reasons I have outlined, I am recommen ding the quota for 1987 be set at 699.3 million pounds. When you add the 30 million pounds for undermarketing, you have an ef fective quota for 1987 of 729.3 million pounds, which is a slight increase over the basic quota for 1986. ” ' ' ' . Continuing, he said, “I feel this recommendation is sound and will give flue-cured growers con fidence in the new program for 1987. By the same token, this quota will further increase the confidence of our export buyers in that they will be able to purchase the quantities they need.” Association i Meeting Slated The Corn Growers Association of North Carolina will hold its An nual Meeting on Friday, December 12, at the McKimmon Center, on the campus of North Carolina State University.
