[[underlined]] Directions for using Duck Bombs [[/underlined]]

Select the rice field having the largest number of ducks or other birds. Have as many assistants as possible around the edge or exterior boundaries of the field, each armed with two or more bombs. 

Arrange with your assistants that as soon as one bomb is fired on one edge of the field, to immediately have the other shot into the field of birds. Set off the first bomb on the center of the exterior boundary, followed immediately with one on the opposite exterior boundary of the field.

This will immediately cause much confusion among the birds. While they are confused and in the air, shoot other bombs in their direction, continuing to do so as long a possible. A few birds may return later. These should be bombed out as soon as possible.

Watch the field in the morning and in the evening very closely. If the birds should return in the night bomb them out before the break of day in the morning. If they return in the evening, bomb them out after dark, just after they have become settled. Two or three days use in this manner will effectively rid your fields of these birds. 

This method is as effective on grain as it is on rice fields.
