Hot weather also necessitates

HOT WEATHER
HITS POULTRY
Many Birds Have Been Die
ing Because of Improper
Attention
EXPERT ADVICE GIVEN

Hot weather bothers poultry
just as much as it does humans
and, unles proper precautions are
taken is likely to cause losses
both in egg production and laying
stock. In making this statement,
F. H. Leuschner, Extension Poul-
tryman at the University of Della
ware, pointed out that the poultry
mans first duty to his flock is to
provide comfort Tor them. Unless
comfort is provided" he said, 'loss-
es of good laying stock may be
caused by sudden heat waves
through heat prostration." Ade-
quate ventilation should be provid-
ed in laying houses and depending
on their type of construction may
include provision for opening the
front and small vents under the
caves in the rear as well as win
dows in the side walls, so that ad-
vantage may be taken of any
movement of air. Rear windows
between the floor and dropping
boards will also help to keep air
moving on the floor levxel Well
ventilated nests will help to reduce
fatalities, Leuschner said.
Confinement is the order of the
day for layers which produce high
quality pale yolked eggs" he stat
ed. However, in hot weather,
some poultrymen prefer to sacri-
fee yolk color to the health and
comfort of the fowls by permitting

FEDERAL AID TO
WILDLIFE
What the Wildlife Conserva-
tiOn and Restoration Means
and Its Provisions
BACKGROUND OF BILL

At the annual conference of the
General Wildlife Federation held in
st. Louis on March 3rd Of this
year, the delegates present more
than 1900 of them-unanimou
agreed to make the Federation's
Number ! legislative project the
Bill to give Federal aid to State
Wildlife restoration projects. Sub
sequently, Senators Pittman, Clark,
Bailey, McNary and White on June
18th introduced the Bill IS. 2760J
which on July 9th was reported
out Of the Committee and is now
on the Senate Calendar mo. 889)
ready to be taken up at any call.
A few days later Congressman A.
Willis Robertson, of Virginia, in
troduced an Identical bill in the
House and this bill (H. r. 1851
was referred to the Committee on
Agriculture where it is now await
ing action by the Committee.
Provisions of the Bill
L. The bill Is. 287O and H. r.
1851 in brief provides for the joint
activity Of State and Federal agen-
cies in a continent-wide restoration
for all species of wildlife.
2. The Federal Government will,
by provisions of this bill, set aside
funds to be allocated to any and
all of the 48 states in the Union
which comply with its provisions.
3. The funds thus set aside by
the Federal Government are not
additional taxes to be levied
against the taxpayer. These funds
are not new taxes at all. The
money proposed by this Bill for
wildlife restoration are the dollars
which are now land have been
since 1882 collected from the
special excise tax on sportsmen's
equipment namely shot-guns,
rifles and ammunition. It amounts
to about three million dollars an
nually.
A. One of the cardinal princi-
pies of conservationists has always
been that money taken in by gov
ernmental agencies from wildlife
resources, such as sportsmen's lie
ense fees, should be spent in the
conservation and maintenance Of
our wildlife species. Our bill, now
before Congress, makes this COM
pulsory and provides for the equit-
able distribution of this fund to
the 48 states for the purpose of
constructing cooperative wildlife
restoration projects with the as
sistance Of the Federal Govern
ment.
5. Upon the enactment of this
measure money now paid into the
U. s. Treasury by taxes levied on
sportsmen's equipment will be
spent for wildlife restoration
throughout the country under the
direction of the State Fish and
Game or Conservation Depart
ments.
6. The process of administra-
ton is similar to that parallel nee
essity to American health and hap
piness-the Federal Highway Aid
Bill. Each state conservation
agency or Fish and Game commits
sion will, by the provisions of the
bill, receive its quota for wildlife
restoration projects from the Fed
eral Government on the same gen
eral plan as Federal Highway aid
is distributed to State Highway
commissions.
Z. The Highway Aid program
has built good roads. This Bill will
go long way toward restoring
wildlife to our nation and our peo-
pie.
8. A copy of the bill is enclosed
with this Bulletin. Study it over.

EXCESSIVE RAINS FOLLOW

The extraordinary weather that
we have been having for the past
two weeks in the Atlantic States
has extended from Georgia to
Maine. First came the excessive
heat which has been followed by
excessive rains. The worst rains
have been this side of Virginia,
growing worse as the wave of
moisture and electrical disturbanc-
es proceeded through Pennsyl-
vania, New York and New Eng
land. There were many washouts
and much property destroyed, the
New England States perhaps suf-
fering the worst because being in
their general hay harvest.

or justice of this Bill. It's hope for
enactment lies in the public max

gressional Representatives It's
only real hazard is that the public

please act-now!
Need For the Bill
The wildlife populations of con
tinental United States have shown
marked decrease during the past
generation due to number of
causes. Droughts, floods, soil ero-
sion, the advance of civilization all
have played their part in the de-
struction of cover and food sup
plies for our wildlife creatures. Yet
with this diminishing supply of
game there has been a decided in
crease in the number of men,
women and youth who enjoy the
recreation and exhilaration of the
chase.
Conservation of the remaining
species of wildlife no longer solves
the problem. Restoration is the
only answer now. We must restore
food and shelter, for birds can't
nest on the wing nor can animals
on the run" We must
provide place for wildlife to live
and multiply. When we do this
we make better place for man to
live also. For what we do for wild
life we do likewise for humanity.
The restoration of wndlife de-
pends upon the wise management
of our land and watered areas. It
is inescapably and inherently ink
ed with the farm and the land.
When we conserve our land we are
