Duck Refugees
i'm Marsh Areas

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
Agriculture, and many private pre-
serves, some formed by artificial
means, have been established where
the birds are protected while nesting.
AS a means OF cooperating In such
efforts to maintain and increase the
number Of waterfowl, the biological
survey Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture has undertaken
investigations Of the general conditions
under which wild ducks live and
thrive, coupled with counts Of the
hirds 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, 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.
AyuAAlb AllC lAiiCC RCuHOlo uCNOlCu "
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 $500 pairs
were counted, and It is believed that
this number represents between 90 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
conservative estimate, between $4,000
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 Cal
ifornia. The department urges the es-
adjustment of greater number Of
preserves where wild fowl may breed
and rest unmolested and find an am
pie supply Of food.

and fair proposition, says Washington
Post. II the government is to pay
out millions of the taxpayers money
to help pay for the construction OF
roads, only to see within a few years
these highways deteriorate into dis.
use and decay, that money Is wasted.
The value OF good roads is now gen ,
orally recognized and the larger and
more progressive states have proved
that they are good investments. In
proved highways mean not only good
automobile roads, they mean cheaper
and better food, greater values in the
land, better opportunities for the
rural population. And they also pay
good dividends in the huge sums coll
lected in license fees for motor We

pay the cost Of repairs and improve.
