Vdlue Of WildEife
Shown in Booklet

This is the time of year when
vacationistS are consciously
aware that the Nations wild
life resources are worn millions
of dollars annually for recrea-
ton purposes, but officials of
the Fish and Wildlife Service
point out that Wildlife also
plays an economically import
ant role in agricultural and for
estry practices. Secretary of the
Interior Harold L. Ickes said
recently.
The value of wildlife to AM
orleans is shown in a leaflet
printed by the Maine Cooper
ative Wildlife Research Unit.
Although written to show the
Importance of Wildlife to the
Pine Tree State. the text is ap-
plicable to other sections OF
the country, officials said.
The total value of food and
fur from game. fish, and fur
animals in Maine was estimated
conservatively to be approx
mately 81, 000, 900 annually. At
least 3,000,0 900 pounds of fish are
taken from fresh water lakes
and streams each year by
sportsmen, the leaflet reveals,
and many of the lakes are not
heavily fished. This does not in
clude the value of commercial
fisheries in that state.
Farmers are particularly ben
Gifted by wildlife, the leaflet
points out. Based on studies by
w. l.. McAtee, of the Fish and
Wild1ife service, estimates used
by the authors indicate that the
value of wildlife in controlling
injurious insects is more than
81, 900 1000 annually.
Birds are well-known allies
of farmers. The feathered crea-
lures consume large quantities
of insects and weed seeds. Birds
are also benefactors in repres-
sing and controlling injurious
insect outbreaks in forest areas.
Smaller manuals, too, do their
share in Kidding the soil of in
sects and other pests.
What farmers and sportsmen
can do to improve woodlands
in the interest of wildlife with
out excessive cost or sacrifice
is suggested in the leafIet.
Written by c. M. Aldous, lea
der of the Maine Cooperative
Wildlife Research Unit, and A
D. Nutting, extension forestry

Maine, the 1eaflet, entitled
"Wildlife in Maine," is available
to the public upon request un-
til the present supply is depict

TELLS HARDSFIIPS
IN WILDLIFE
EXPERTS LIFE

Difficulties confronting young
collegians who n anxious to
become Wildlife technicians and
administrators recently were de-
Scribed by Arthur E. Einarsen,
leader of the Oregon Coopera-
tive Wildlife Research Unit, &C
cording to the Fish and Wildlife
Service, United States depart
ment of the Interior.
Addressing graduate students
OF the Oregon State Agricul-
tural college who study with
the unit and anticipate obtain
ing full-time employment as
conservationists, Einarsen told a
story of hard work, consistent
performance, and continued
study.
The unit, which is financially
sponsored by the Oregon Fish
and Game Commission, the Ore
gon State Agricultural college,
the American Wildlife Institute,
and the Fish and Wildlife Ser
vice is similar to nine other
units throughout the country
where graduate students learn
the fundamentals of wildlife
conservation.
Being a Wildlife conserva-
zionist is no snap" he declared.
Competition is keen, the work
is hard, and the pay is not the
most important inducement to
stay in the work"
Specifically. the unit leader
pointed out that four general
types Of work are available in
the wildlife field: Administra-
tive and custodial, research, pro-
tective. and education. With on
ly a few exceptions. even adj
ministrative positions require
knowledge of wildlife and all
other personnel of a wildlife
conservation organization must
have a competent understand
ing of the resource and its pro-
blems.
Requirements for a prospec-
tive conservationist include
training and education, native
ability, interest beyond the in
itial pay invilved, energy, out
door experience a pleasing per-
sonality and selfdiscipline, adj
aptiveness and willingness to
work, and specialization in GER
tain fields. All things being eq-
ual, the hardest qualifications
| to meet are those relating to
training and education, outdoor
experience, and specialized abil-
tiles.
1T may be disconcerting to
some individuals" Einarsen told
the graduates, "but it may as
well be realized now that a pro-
fessional wildlife conservation
ist may have a nice sounding
title but his work can neverthe-
less be very rough and very
hard. It is no bed of roses, and
If you can't take rough work,
stay out of this field"
Aside from the difficulties of
qualifying, which includes tax
ing stiff examinations, it is not
easy to get a job in the Wild
life field, because there are
comparatively few of these po-
SitionS currently available. Most
work in this field is now con-
Quoted by State game and fish
commissions, the Fish and
Wildlife Service, and other Fed
eral agencies. Only a few pri-
vate institutions and individ-
uals carry on wildlife work
! with professional employees.

REA Homes; Hove
MdnY Appliances

Nearly nine out of ten, farm
home on REA-financed electric
lines have radios. more than,
eight in ten have electric irons,
more than half have electric
washing machines, and nearly a.
third have electric refrigerators,
according to REA,s third annual
utilization survey, just made
public by Administrator Harry
Slattery.
The survey, which shows the
extent of use of various electrt-
cal appliances on newly electri-
fled farms, is based on question:
naires returned by $4,000 FAM
lilies served by a. REA-financed
| systems in ~ states. While the
| systems have been in operation
for periods ranging from six
months to a little over four
years, Mr. Slattery said the av-
erage length of service for con-
sumers reporting is 1876 months.
The survey reveals the fol-
lowing percentages of use foE
various appliances: radios, non
battery, 87.5%; electric irons,
84.1%; washing m machines,
55.3 %; refrigerators, 1862;
coasters, 29.4%; vacuum clean
ers, 20.7%; hot plate, 1880;
electric water pump, 1897; mo-
tor 1HP or less), 1859; poul-
try lighting, 1857; bathtub or
shower, 8.5%; coffee maker,
1885,; cream separator, 1879;
water closet, 6.2%; septic tank,
5.9%; chick brooder, 1895;
range, 4.2%; electric fence,
2.6%; electric rooster, 2.1%;
milking machine, 2.1%; large
motor, 1879; electric water hea-
ter, 1870; other household app,
14.3%; other farm app, 2.7%.
Commenting on the survey,
MI. Slattery pointed out that
these percentages are somewhat
lower than those given in last
years survey, which reported on
a group of consumers receiving
service for an average of 1O.5
months. This. he said. is due
to the fact that the 1899 sur
vey dealt with systems located
chiefly in northern areas, par
ticularly in such states as Min,
nesota, Wisconsin, and Michi-
gan, where farms are larger and
the use Of electricity for dairy
ing, water pumping, and other
farm operations is more fully
developed. Mr.. Slattery ex-
planned that the new survey
IS corrected for distribution BY
states, and may be taken as q
reasonably accurated picture Of
the REA = financed systems
throughout the nation.
ut should be noted" Mr..
Slattery said, "that many of the
items are diluted. In areas
where dairying is a major oc-
cupation percentages of use Of
CARVING equipment will be
nigh: they are lowered when
combined with figures from ar
cas- where there is little or no
dairying. The same holds true
OF poultry equipment, etc. Per-
centages on most appliances
are higher in the Northern
states. with the exception of
the refrigerator, which expert
ences its greatest popularity in
the south"
The survey reveals that major
household appliance purchases
are. for the most part. made
during the first year after eI-
ectrification. Use of farm
equipment increases more Slow
ly. as was expected, since con-
siderable education Is necessary
to famtliarize farmers with the
ways of using electricity in far
ming and with the equipment
available.
