EPIDEMIC
CAUSES MUCH HARM

When sportsmen and ornith-
ologists began receiving reports
that the Atlantic brant, the
migratory waterfowl was almost
wiped out by the disappearance
of eelgrass along the Atlantic
seaboard, was eating sea lettuce
as a substitute for its favorite
food, there was hope that the
food problem of this bird had
been solved. Recent reports
from observers of the Bureau
of Biological Survey, United
States Department of Interior,
however, indicate that eelgrass
is still the brant:s faVorite
vegetation and sea lettuce is
a poor substitute.
The sudden and nearly COM
plete dying out of eelgrass al
ong most of the American and
European Atlantic coasts some
10 years ago was one of the
most startling biological phen-
omena in recent times. Botan-
lists agree that such rapidity of
destruction and spread of the
plant epidemic has previously
been unknown in botanical his
tory.
With the disappearance of
the eel grass, which normally
formed more than 81 per cent
of the birds food, the popula-
ton of Atlantic brant dWind-
led so rapidly that the species
was on the verge of extinction
and the Biological Survey was
compelled to recommend closed
seasons on hunting. Except dur
Ing 1885 the season has been
closed on brant since 1888.
!tensive studies made on the
habits of the brant after the
Wlping out of extensive eelgrass
beds from North Carolina to
the Canadian border revealed
that the bird had begun to
change its migration routes in
what is thought to have been
a vain search for new eelgrass
beds. Later, observers noted that
the brant was feeding on sea
lettuce, or sea cabbage.
DR.. Clarence Gotham, of the
Division of Wildlife Research,
made laboratory analyses of a
series of stomachS of brants.
The Biological Survey food hab-
Its expert showed that the eel
grass now formed only some
81 per cent of the total food
contents, and sea lettuce which
previously formed less than l
per cent, formed % per cen/
of the food contents.
Harold Peters, Atlantic fly
way biologist for the Biological
Survey, reported in May 1898
that brants in Northumberland
County, New Brunswick, were
changing their migration routes
as The eelgrass supply dimin-
1Shed. In May 1889, on his an
nual waterfowl observation trips
through the Maritime provinces,
he noted that great use was
made of sea lettuce, by brants.
Whether or not sea lettuce
can entirely replace eelgrass as
a form of food for brant is not
definitely known, but some OBJ
servers are of the opinion that
sea lettuce and other marine
algae are eaten extensively by
waterfowl only when better
foods are not available.
The cause of the eelgrass dis
appearance is still not def
nitely known. Biological Survey
investigators attempted to re-

GLACIER HIGHWAY DUST TREATMENT
 TEST UNDER WAY
Salmon Creek Section Is Given Calcium Chlor-

First application locally of a calcium chloride treatment to re- duce dust appears to indicate suc- cess of the method, District En- gineer M. D. Williams of the Pub lie Roads Administration said to- day after observing a quarter mile test section of the Glacier High way at Salmon Creek.
 The chemical, applied with a special spreader, comes in flake form Ten tons have been ordered for further experimentation on the Glacier Highway. Cost of the treat ment is about $4O0 per mile.
 Williams said it was still to be determined whether the calcium chloride treatment would last un- der local conditions. If. it must be replaced every season, the cost will be prohibitive.
