Warning that forest fires are one
of the principal enemies Of refores-
tation in Indiana has been issued
by the State Conservation Depart
ment.
Suggestions for prevention Of fires
have been made by State Forester
Charles G. Dean. They include:
Fires should never be started on
a windy day, or kindled when ground
covering is dry, unless due precau-
ton is taken to prevent their escape
beyond the bounds of control.
When started in a field, several
burrows should first be plowed
around the whole area and wind

should be favorable to prevent
spreading to dry meadows Or wood
land.
When fire cannot be surrounded
by plowed space, all inflammable
material should be removed.
Never start fire unless you can
remain and watch it.
Smouldering masses left overnight
are a menace to woods, farm prop
erty and outbuildings.

 The writer, under the auspices of the Biological Survey, Washing ton, D. C., banded in 1926 and in 1922 at Lake Merritt, Oakland. California, a total of 1O51 ducks, as follows:

 These birds have small alumiD- um bands attached to their legs with serial number and the ad- dress of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Washington, D. c.
 These ducks have wintered at Lake Merritt, and migrated North, and it will be of interest to all naturalists and sportsmen of the Pacific Coast to locate the direction and extent of flight to their North ern nesting and feeding grounds.
 Already male sprig tpintaiD and male widgeon of these band ed birds have been reported from Alberta, Canada, and I would be very grateful to you if you would kindly publish this letter in your newspapers with the instructions that other papers please copy in the endeavor to pass the word am ong bird-lovers and sportsmen to interest them in watching for these banded ducks anywhere in Alaska. Also that any bands recovered be forwarded to Bureau of Biological Survey. U. s. Depar ment of Agri- culture, Washington. D. C. with full information where recovered and by whom
 You understand the scientific val ue of charting the flight of these ducks and the number now banded from the Lake Merritt Station should result in captures and kills throughout the Alaskan wild fowl haunts.
