Wild Duck Provinciales Near Louisa Place Alarmed Farmer
Allen Green of Louisa county reports he can see about 10 000 wild ducks and 100 wild geese within 200 yards of his front door claiming the birds nest on a central farm lake and are safe from hunters. A Ringgold Emmet county road issue sees a spring break the highway causing travel trouble with gravel failing to improve the mud hole. Experts attribute the moist springs to a Minnesota lake chain higher than local land through limestone rifts.
