menf Of Agriculture has undertaken
investigations Of the general conditions
/ under which wild ducks live and
thrive, coupled with counts of the
birds found in areas varying in char
acter During three summers, field
studies were made dealing with wild
ducks in the Bear river marshes in
Utah. a report of which has just been
published by the department in De-
partment Bulletin 936, Wild Ducks and
Duck Foods of the Bear River Marshes,
Utah.
During the three seasons devoted to-
this work II species OF, ducks and the
Canada goose were found breeding in
the region included in the Bear river
marshes, which cover an extensive
area at the northern end Of Great
Salt Lake. In an enumeration made
during May and June, 1916. Of the II
species of breeding ducks $3.50 pairs
were counted, and 1t is believed that
this number represents between 60 and
100 per cent of the total number OF
breeding ducks occurring here that
season.
Vast Number in One Region.
Allowing five young reared to ma
turity as the average for each pair,
and considering 1916 as an average
season, the bulletin states that, at a
conservative estimate, between 25,OO0
and 10000 wild ducks, native to the
marsh, are to be found there at the
close of the breeding season.
1t was found that, in addition to
the large number Of birds reared on
the Bear river area, many other ducks
came in after the nesting season to re-
main there until fall. That birds from
the Bear river section range widely
after leaving these marshes has been
shown by records of ducks that have
been banded and released there and
subsequently were shot elsewhere. Rec
ords thus obtained show that birds re-
leased near the mouth of Bear river
in migration cover the region from
Oklahoma to Texas and west to Cali
ifornia. The department urges the es-
tablishment Of greater number of
preserves where wild fowl may breed
and rest unmolested and find an am
pie supply of food.

These changes, say biologists Of the

in corresponding degree to reduce

Realization of these facts has led
recently to the adoption Of other
measures to encourage waterfowl. A
number of extensive marsh areas have
been made permanent refugees under
the guardianship of the Department Of

New York.-Several letters from
scientists living under the Bolshevist
regime in Russia and other documents
describing the conditions under which
the Russian scientists are living al
present are made public by A. j. Sack,
director of the Russian information
bureau in the United States, represent

Boris Sokoloff, leading member OF
the party Of Socialist Revolutions
and deputy to the First All-Russian
constitutional assembly. Professor
Sokoloff is now in Prague, Czechoslo-

The statement says that according

Russian scientists died of starvation

them to Bolshevist persecution. De,
