HUNDREDS OF DEAD DUCKS
ON sUsOUEHANNA FLATS

Hundreds of wild ducks have been
found dead along the mud flats or
the Susquehanna river, near the
Aberdeen Proving Ground, recently,
the victims, sportsmen believe, OIL
phosphorus poisoning.
The widespread toll was taken to
mean that phosphorus deposits on
the bottom of the Chesapeake Bay
near the military reservation have
been uncovered again. Ten years
ago. hunters recalled, thousands oil
ducks were killed in the upper pay
region in the same way.
After an investigation at that
time by the Conservation Depart
ment. it was disclosed that the ducks
were killed by swallowing phos-
phorus pellets which they picked up
as pebbles in feeding. To remedy
this condition, the War Department
several years ago, dumped mud and
silt over the poisonous deposits and
the deaths ceased.
Apparently tides and currents
have carried away this protecting
layer, bringing the phosphorus again
to the ducks.
Attracted by the wholesale duck
deaths, Leo F. Moore, of Havre de
Grace, vice-president of a sports
man group formed to protect wild
life on the Chesapeake Bay, asked
for aid from the State Conservation
Department and the United States
Biological Survey.
