Americas Worst Tragedy
In Bird Kingdom

Sportsmen of America will hear with deep regret Of the
worst tragedy in bird life the history Of this natonhat
of the defamation of wild ducks through long and serious
oughs in their breeding grounds in Southern Canada and
The northern plain States of the United States.
Biologists the Department of Agriculture who have
sonay investigated conditions look for tremendous shortage
in wild ducks the coming fall and winter and for that
they are thinking recommending closed for shoot
ing this popular wild game.
The big ough ponds and lakes of the breeding grounds
about SO per dried and the birds do not to
have found places not affected by drougts
recent years
Wild ducks lay and hatch their young land but always
near water where they obtain feed and where the little
ones can find food supplies With ponds and lakes dried up
there for baby ducks favorable conditions
for grow adult size Instead of numbers of
ducks around these places this year there comparatively
few.
the feeding grounds not restored to their normal
ditions in another year the disaster wild ducks will
grave.
To Washington Virginia and Maryland people who have
enjoyed duck hunting of past the tragic happen
ngs the bird kingdom will sorrow, much from
the deprivation of the pleasures of shooting from the
threat against this great family of game birds.
No finer shooting grounds for wild ducks and geese
existed than those along Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac
River which the ducks migrated in droves in past years
Ducks have been growing smaller in number for
owing excessive shooting provided against by United
States laws but these laws cannot protect against
shortcomings.
Some varieties of ducks among them the famous
back have been killed off freely in the past have
almost disappeared compared to their huge numbers
