I am here reproducing one letter from the South which gives us a fair explanation as to when the geese come to, and leave, their winter home.
Swan Quarter, N.C.
Nov. 15th, 1917.
Dear Sir,—
I killed a goose yesterday, the 14th of Nov., on the Lake of Matmostuate, Hyde Co., N.C., with a band on his left leg with your address on it. It said “Write to Box 48, Kingsville, Ont.” So at your request I am taking pleasure in doing so. Inside of metal band was a Bible verse; it said: “Keep yourselves in the love of God. Jude 1:21.” You will please write me and tell me how you caught the goose, and when you put same on him and all about the geese in Canada, and their raising there. They come on our lakes about Oct. 15th, and stay here until March 15th. Then they all leave and go north to places unknown to us. Lake Matamoskeete is a great place for hunting geese. There were about three hundred killed the day that I killed this one. Will close. Write me soon and a long letter, and tell me all you know about them.
With best wishes for you and yours, I am,
Yours very truly,
C. S. Boomer.
One of the most recent and interesting of the letters I have received is the following:
