BULLETIN 794, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
autumn visit, October 10 and 11, we were told that there had been 
comparatively little hunting in the neighborhood, and that the sev- 
eral clubhouses which are situated on the shore of Enders Lake had 
not been in use so far during that season. Hunting on some of the 
lakes with proper blinds was good, and we were told that most of 
the hunters who had been out had reported fair success.

LAKES OF GARDEN AND MORRILL COUNTIES. 
The group of some 90 or more lakes in the central and western 
parts of Garden Count3 T , and in the eastern part of Morrill County, 
extends over an area some 30 miles east and west and 25 miles north 
and south. Most of them are small, usually not over a mile in length, 
though Swan Lake is 3 or 4 miles long, and both Crescent and 
Beaver (or Blue) Lakes are about 2 miles long and a mile or more 
in width. The lakes in this region lie usually close together, and in 
most places it is difficult to travel for more than a mile or so in any 
direction without coming upon a lake. Many of them dry up during 
the hottest part of the summer and during seasons with little rain.
