     L. W. Thompson, secretary of the Alma Center Rod and 
Gun club, says he was interested in the story about catch- 
ing carp with peas in the March Bulletin 
 
     "About using peas for bait, I have heard of. that 
before," he says. "But instead of using a fly rod they 
use a club. They just dump a few peas in the water and 
when the fish come up to take a pea they hit them on the 
head." 
 
     Mr. Thompson says the birds are coming through the 
winter in good shape and announces that the gray fox that 
preyed on the pheasants at the feeding stations has been 
dispatched. A friend borrowed his coon dog and now there 
is another hide hanging from the rafters, he says.
