terfowl already has been greatly re- duced by last summers serious drought, the drainage of millions of acres of public lands which used to serve as breeding and nesting places for wild ducks and geese, and the increased number of hunters.
 Although the secretary of agricul- ture has reduced the bag limit of the individual hunter for the coming shooting season from 25 ducks and eight geese to IS ducks and four geese per day, Dr. Pearson asserted, it is absolutely essential, for the preservation of an adequate breeding stock of wild fowl, that there be substantial reduction in the amount of shooting of ducks and geese dur ing, the approaching season.
 Tt Is an open secret that many hunters do not observe the bag limit and there are only 25 federal ward ems available at present to keep watch on all the duck hunters in America"
 He cited precedents in the action of various states for the proposal that the shooting season be shorten ed. The maximum open season on ducks and geese under the present federal regulations, he said, is 107 days and the minimum is 92 days.
