C. Bristol at Firesteel who has rounded up the picture of upland along the northern border of the state west of the Missouri river. Bristol takes over from here: "For the past years I have made made a game survey of all upland game in my territory and especially of the sharp-tail grouse and pinnated grouse (prairie chicken) and from the reports from my cooperators, find the sharp-tail has made a complete comeback in Corson and Dewey counties and is showing up in great numbers in Armstrong, Ziebach, eastern Meade and Perkins I counties. "In the same countios, the prairie chicken is loosing ground. Where the survey for the two years 1939- 1940 showed they were running about 5 per cent, this year they are 3 per cent, along with the sharp tail.

These observations have been made throughout the district by livestock feeders and reliable farmers and sportsmen. Actual counts of the birds in different localities show bunches of from 50 to 1,500. "Some say the grouse are as plentiful as they were 20 years ago, but I do not agree with them. I think there are as many in the eastern part of my territory as there were in 1931 when the season was opened after being closed in 1926. In Perkins and Harding counties, birds are reported in big numbers, but that is from unofficial reports outside my territory.

"After our drought the birds seemed to start a slow come-back for a few years but didn't seem to stay in the spring and nest, until 1939 when we had a fair crop of young birds. I think the pleasure of most sportsmen would be for a short open season next fall, but lots of things can happen to the birds between now and then. "Recent accounts in our press stated the only grouse in the short grass country in the West River country were a few that migrated in from North Dakota and Canada. I would like to state that northwestern South Dakota is the natural habitat for the grouse and "chicken" and always will be as long as we have feed for them. "The Hungarian patridge is a natural for the rough country along the rivers and creek brakes in northwestern South Dakota and are thriving in a big way.

There is not a locality in the entire territory that the little fellow hasn't taken root. "This section of the state in the past has not been adapted to the pheasant. Whether it was the scar-, city of feed or not the right soil has never been proved. But since the restocking last year the birds matured large broods and large are seen wherever the plantings were made. There were only a very few pheasants of the original stocking left when the restocking operations were started in 1940.

"The extreme drought we had for three years can account for the disappearance of some of our birds. There is more farming done in this country now than there was at the time of the other early planting and chances are that will assist in keeping the chink with us in the short grass GAM, Pierre. Chips Are All Down For South Dakota Primaries South Dakota's Federal Income Taxes Trebled State Tax Returns Are Lower ABERDEEN, Apr. 2- -(P) South Dakotans paid $2,134,277.42 eral income taves in March, T. C.

in fedKasper, collector of internal 1 enue for the state, reported today. The figure was considerably more than three times the March figure last year, $615,266.19. Income tax payments for the first quarter of the year amounted to 670,742.84, an increase of 258 per cent over the comparable figure for 1941 which was $745,117.52. The increase, Kasper said, was due to improved ecnomic condi-, tions, lowered exemptions and plication of surtax on the first dollar of taxable income. State Income Lower PIERRE, Apr.

2 (P) South Dakota net income tax collections during March showed a $70,000 drop compared with 1941, but there were more returns made, Tax Director Joe H. Bottum reported today. Receipts amounted to $180,936 under the moderated income tax law which reduced the basis for computing the tax and increased the personal deductions allowed. The receipts in March last year were $250,793. Bottum said administrators of the income tax collections expected about 50,000 returns this year but that more than half of those reporting were not subject to any tax because personal exemptions this year are $20 for a head of a family, instead of $12, for example.

Local Deposits May Soon Be Opened WASHINGTON, Apr. 4- (P) Representative Case (R-SD) says the War Production Board is endeavoring to open tungsten properties near Deadwood, with the hope of contributing an additional supply to the nation's domestio production. Deputy Director A. I. Henderson informed Case that the materials division of the board is giving continued attention to the small producers of tungsten and other "much needed materials." Case had suggested that a "bonus, price" be placed on tungsten to courage production from marginal mines in the United States.

in to "Personally I think they can go farther than they have gone and," the congressman declared, "I expect to make some further suggestions, because tungsten is one of the most difficult problems in stepping up production to win the war." Henderson said the price of 60 percent tungsten concentrate on the American market was about $24 1 to $26 per unit depending on purity. This price was said to be about the equivalent of the price for imported tungsten, on which there is a duty of $7 per unit. "The present price for tungsten is far below the uncontrolled price levels of the last war period," he added, "but in spite of this, domestic production today far exceeds the quantity produced in 1917, the peak year of the last war period.".
