Better Living Conditions for Birds, Beasts
Is Objective of American Wildlife Institute
BY WALTER A. SHEAD
WNU WashinEton Correspondent.

RELIEVE it or not, there is an or
ganization in Washington which
has no propaganda, no high-pow-
cred publicity staff, and is non-profit
and non-political.
It is the American Wildlife In
stitute, formulated back in 1911 un-
der the name of the American
Game Protective association and in
corporated in 1885 under its present
name, but with the same hackers
and sponsors, headed by former
Senator Frederic c. Walcott of Con-
necticut, daddy" of much of the
conservation legislation which has
been enacted into law during the
past quarter of century.
So the American Wildlife Institute
is a non-profit, non-partisan corpo-
ration, supported by the voluntary
contributions of industries, organi-
cations and individuals interested in
the preservation of American wild
life and conservation of natural re-
sources in all its phases.
Its detectives are three-fold: ~
to encourage cooperation and CO.
ordination of effort of all groups and
individuals interested in conserva-
ton of natural resources; (2) to as
sist in finding and presenting to the
public facts about wildlife and these
natural resources; and (3) to pro-
vide facilities for training young
men in the latest scientific methods
Of game management and conser-
walton.
In carrying out these detectives
the American Wildlife Institute has
become central co-ordinating
agency in iaison and cooperation
with and between such organizations
as the Izaak Walton League, the
American Forest association, the
Audubon society, Geological and
Biological Associations, State De-
partments of Conservation, Land
Grant Colleges and Universities, the
U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and
the Conservation Division Of the de-
partment Of agriculture.
Work on Broad Front.
It spends its money to obtain
these detectives by the publication
of books and technical pamphlets
1t no profit, for the benefit of all
phases of conservation; by spon-
sorfng and financing the annual
North American Wildlife conference;

by the establishment of chairs and
schools of wildlife conservation in
colleges and universities for training
young men in every phase of natural
resources, for technical research and
in methods Of game management

and land management and use,

For several years the American
Wildlife Institute has financed the
research into migratory fowl at the
Delta duck station in Manitoba,
Canada, in conjunction with the
University of Wisconsin and Michi-
gan State college, with James F.
Bell, famous authority on migratory
fowl, as superintendent of the prof.
ect. In 1913, Ducks Unlimited be-
came a co-operator. This scientific
study Of migratory ducks and geese
has to do mostly with these wild
fowl ON their breeding grounds. 9th

grafton across the United States has

Streams and their steep banks are
not suitable for pasture or cropland.
II Is much better to plant . broad
strip along each side Of the creek
with clover or other rough, strong

that thrive near water should be

The plight of many Americans
today is that they can't get a car
for their spare parts.
Congress seems ready to send
the homes-for-veterans bill to the
floor with no ceilings on the homes.
The administration thinks this will
mean veterans may have roofs to
stop precipitation, but not infla-
ton.

led to the undertaking of an ambi-
tious scientific research project Of
what happens to migratory birds
when they reach Mexico and other
Central American countries where
they winter.
So for two years this study has
been going on, largely financed by
American Wildlife Institute, but con-
Quoted by the Pan American Union,
an international organization COM
posed of representatives of the Cen
trail and South American Republics.
In its zeal to train young men in
scientific knowledge in all phases
of conservation, the Wildlife Insti-
tute has fostered and helped finance
schools for this purpose at the land
grant state universities in Alabama,
Iowa, Maine, Missouri, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah and Vir-
ginia, while, through the influence Of
the institute, schools also have been
established at Purdue university in
Indiana and in New York.
Quarter Million to Schools.
The institute has expended ap-
proximately $25O,OOO in the estab-
ishment and maintenance of these
schools. In so doing, it operates
through the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, the State Departments of
Conservation of Wildlife and the
universities. Approximately 500
trained men are now engaged in
various phases of wildlife conser-
walton and land use. Many are hold
ing important government and state
jobs in forestry, wildlife manage
ment, with geological and biologi-
cal gardens and organizations.
Another instance of conservation
fostered and largely financed by the
institute was the restoration of the
salmon fishing industry on the At
lantic coast. Fifty years or so ago,
Atlantic salmon disappeared from
Maine due to the destruction of
spawning grounds in the Maine
fresh water rivers by the lumber
industry. Sawdust coated the bot
toms of streams and tannic acid
from the sawdust polluted the water
to such an extent the salmon were
killed off and flourishing industry
died.
In 1910 a fellowship was estab-
lished in the University of Maine
for the purpose of studying the pos
sibilities of restoring the Atlantic
salmon to the important streams
in the Northeast. Through these
studies and cooperation with the
institute, a method so easy and in
expensive was devised, that the
sponsors are amazed at the results.
Huge "egg beaters" were attached
to small boats sent into the Ma
chias, the Depnys, the Narraguagus
and the Penobscot rivers. These
egg beaters, operating in the spring
of the year at high water, churned
up the beds of these rivers so thor
oughly that the sawdust caking was
washed out and into the sea. Then
millions of salmon eggs were
brought down from New Brunswick
and installed in troughs for hatch
ing in the rivers. This spring saw
the first return of the Atlantic salmon
for spawning and they swarmed
back into these four Maine rivers
by the millions.
The American Wildlife Institute is
particularly interested in land use
on the theory that il land and water
are utilized properly we will auto.
matically have wildlife. Clinton

Of the institute, who occupies mod.

est Office in downtown Washington
building, declares, 1--WE can't have
wildlife without the cooperation of
farmers"
"Most certainly" the Hoosier-
trained secretary said, 1--WE can't
take good farm land, and by the
same token, farmers should not at
tempt to farm land fit only for re-
forestation or as cover for wild
life."
Thousands of acres of land in this
country have been stolen from its
natural state and thousands upon
thousands of dollars Of public money
has been spent in the vain attempt
to make farm land out Of submar-
ginal and other land fit only for
its natural state.
One such area, it is pointed out,
was the Kankakee marshes in
northern Indiana and Illinois. The
two states and the federal govern
ment spent many thousands of dol
lars in the attempt to convert these
thousands of acres of marshes into
farm land. When it was found
the land would not raise crops, aft
er decades of Illustration, the land
is now being allowed to return to
its natural state. And during the
past few years, the financial return
from the recreational and other fea-
lures of this natural wildlife habi-
tat each year has been more than
was realized by farmers in all the
years cultivation was attempted.
Another such area is the so-called
grand flats in Wisconsin, an area
thousands of acres in extent where
few years ago nothing but aban-
doned homes were seen for miles,
and much of which is now being al
lowed to return to its natural state.
Grow Cover Where Possible.
Mr.. Gutermuth believes that ev-
cry farmer can correlate his land
into the two schools, natural and
agricultural. For instance, along
the woods lot on almost every farm
there is so or more feet which will
barely raise crop. This land could
be permitted to grow into cover
The banks of bitches and streams
would, within few years, become
a natural habitat for wildlife if
permitted to grow into a natural
state. And reforestation of some
land, suitable for that purpose, will
not only reap rich harvest for
farmers in the way of lumber and
wood, but will also provide nat
ural cover for wildlife.
The American Wildlife Institute is
also vitality interested in proper land
use of rolling land, in erosion and
in contour blowing and cultivation
to retain the rich top soil and the
natural wealth of farm land. It has
aided in much research in this
phase of conservation.
The North American Wildlife
conference staged each year by the
institute is the forum where tech
nical men in all branches of con-
servation meet and exchange in
formation and where results of the
years research are made public to
teachers, professors, laboratory
technicians, administrators and su-
pervisors and to the general public.
Approximately 1000 delegates
from every state, Mexico, Canada,
England and France are expected
to attend this years conference at
the Hotel Pennsylvania in New
York. The general theme will be
''The Place of Wildlife in a Chang
ing World"

Radio Fills Economic,
Social Needs Of Farm
Programs Keep Listeners Up on Latest Doings
And Aid Work, Marketing; Music,
Plays Welcome Diversion.
BY BAUKHAGE
Ne,us Analyst and Commentator.

WNU Service, 1916 Eye Street, NV,
Washington, d. G.
When farm folk want to cut
rug, via the radio, they'll do it to
the strains of Turkey in the
Straw" not "Chickery Chick"
Farmers turn a cold shoulder on hot
1--WE. However, both the musical
gobbler and the syncopated hen
play second fiddle as farm radio IA
vorites to the good old-fashioned
hymns, like "Rock Of Ages" and
Coward, Christian Soldiers" But,
down on the farm, the all-time top
favorite on the radio hit parade is
NEWS. The farmer and his wife
prefer the news broadcast to any
other type of radio program.
These interesting preferences
were brought to light recently by
survey published by the department
of agriculture-a survey undertake
en- at the request Of the Federal
Communications commission to find
out II radio was important to rural
people, and why; and what pro-
grams rural people tuned in in hope,
and tuned out in despair.
Rural people are convinced radio
Is here to stay. When asked if he
would miss his radio set, should
something happen to it, nearly ev-
cry rural radio owner said some
thing like this:
ut would make an awful diff
ference. It would be just like
going back to old-fashioned
lights"
I'VE need the radio very
much-we have a mile Of bad
road between the house and the
mailbox, and sometimes get the
mail only once a week."
"That would be terrible! It'd
be just like having a corpse in
the house,"
OF course there were dissenters.
There always are. And the dissent
ers weren't backward about ex-
pressing their unflattering opinions
of radio.
For example:
If it weren't for my family, I'd
throw the radio out. 1t wouldn't
bother me a Bit"
makes no difference whatsoev-
er. All you hear is junk and COM
mercials and murder mystery"

3 to /
For Radio!

But the radio enthusiasts among
farmers vastly outnumber the grip
ers. It's radio three to one as they
say in certain radio commercial.
Three out of every four rural radio
owners attach a great deal of i'm
portance to their radios and
only one in eight wouldn't care if
Junior took the thing apart and
never got it together again.
1t appears, from this survey, that
radio performs special service for
rural people who may live some
distance from town and amuse-
ments, or even from the nearest
neighbor, and who may often be
without access to daily newspapers
or telephones.
Rural people have four very def
mite reasons to explain why radio
Is important to them: l. it's a
source of news; 2. a source of in
formation, other than news: g. it
provides entertainment; and 4. it's
become habit to listen to the darn
thing.
Their comments are illustrative:
eve would feel terribly isoIat-
ed without the news"
"W0uldn't know how the &C.
cupatiOn in Germany is coming.
have son over there, and
want to know what's happen
ing"
"You get the news quicker on
the radio"
II don't have much time to
read the papers or magazines"
Commentators, it appears, are
the apple of the farmers eye. Farm
audiences are proved by this survey
to be faithful to and enthusiastic
about news broadcasts and news
broadcasters. AS we mentioned
earlier, the radio announcement,
I'VE now bring you the news
makes farmers sit up and take no
tice. Rural radio listeners rate
news tops as their favorite program,
and also say it's the type of pro-
gram they'd miss most.
Next comes religious music. Ru-
raj listeners. especially in the
South, could use more of it, and
more radio sermons. too. The rea-
son may be that religious broad.
casts provide substitute for at
tending church for some inconveni-
emily located farmers.
