Blase California Ducks Lose Fear of Airplane

‘Yuba City.—R. V. Olds and A. H. Tregonlng, both former A. E. F. flyers, now in the employ of the Sutter Basin company with a contract to keep ducks and geese off the 7,500 acres of Hee, say ducks have come in by thousands in the last few days. As soon as they frightened the ducks away from one part of the field with their airplane, another flock alights on the opposite side. • “The ducks are becoming accustomed to seeing the machine,” said Olds, “and it won’t be long before even an airplane engine cannot frighten them.”
