Sections Of the Country.

Washington, Feb 19.-What has
virtually become a blockade of Amer.
ican Atlantic ports by Germany s
ruthless submarine campaign is re.
garded by officials as overshadowing
the collateral issues of the situation.
That President Wilson soon will 60

relieve the situation, is the generally
accepted view, but no time has been
set for his action
Hundreds of kilograms are being re
ceived by government officials urging
that something be done to relieve the
congestion.
Officials recognize that the holding
OF the majority of American and 9th.
er ships in port fast is becoming in,

Freight congestion, while believed
to be largely due to weather and other
conditions, is looked upon as in part
the result of the inability of exporters
TO clear American ports of freight.
Means OF protecting American ships
against submarines still are under
consideration.

 the case last year, when roc ducks were sent out to various parts of the
 state. Raising the wild game birds.
 to the amateur seems something of a
 proposition, but the wild birds are
 raised in very much the same manne
 as the barnyard duck. The breeding
 stock are kept in enclosures like the
 ordinary chicken yard. On the Plant
 preserve these wards are placed where
 the ducks can have access to running
 water The first Joint of one wing of
 these lords is arnputated before they
 are able to fly and at that early age
 the wounds heal quickly.
 The duck eggs are placed under hens and Mir. Flanncry uses either the Rhode Island Red or the Barry Pdy- mouth Rock for the foster mother The eggs hatch in 30 days and the hens troubles begin. There is something very appealing about 9 duckling, a downy chicken isn't in it with them and they are as misch!evous aS a naughty child. They do not need the hen to mother them as long a $ little chickens do. and so. while sine has to sit on the eggs longer than she natur- ally should. her period of family anx- ietv and fussy sofeitude is shorter than when she hatches out her own eges.
 From the number of hawks taIoas that one sees hung on the wires of the enclosures it is hard 10 understand how anything escapes these birds of prey, but the loss from them is really very small. There are many trees in the duck enclosure through which 1t i7 impossible for Inc hawks to swCop down on their victims. There are also wards where p1easants are raised much in the same manner as ducks. The wings of the breeding stock are not "ut, however. as tho wire over the top af their runs makes eacape inn possible Three years ago 400 pheas- arts and 1.4Go ee1f-s were sent out from -ha Plant preserve.
