Better Living Conditions for Birds, Beusts
Is Objective Of American Wildlife Institute
By WALTER A. SHEAD
WNU WashInGton Correspondent.


RELIEVE it or not, there is an or
II ganization in Washington which
has no propagandist, 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 G. 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-
tion 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-
vati0n.
In carrying out these objectives
the American Wildlife Institute has
become central co-ordinating
agency in liaison 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.
1t spends its money to obtain
these objectives by the publication
of books and technical pamphlets
at no profit, for the benefit of all
phases of conservation; by spon-
soring and financing the annual
North American Wildlife conference;

building, declares, "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
Iife."
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
a 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 a few years, become
a natural habitat for wildlife il
permitted to grow into 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 plowing and cultivation
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. SUI
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

New York City Buries Its

Institute.
led to the undertaking of an anbl-
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 representative 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
Quarter Million to Schools.
The institute has expended ap-
proximately $250,00O in the estab-
lishment 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-
vation 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 f1ourishing 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 Dennys, 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

Business Agent

Key West fishermen reorgan-

w. d. Welsh, local fisherman,
was unanimously elected BUSH
ness agent. He will open the
unions office, Il noon to pm,
and 4 pm. to 5 pm, daily except
Sundays. af
A resolution was passed by
the group stating that any prac-
teal fisherman may become a
charter member without paying
initiation fees if he joins before
Aug. Is.
F. L. Routh, secretary-treasur-
er of the East Coast Fishermens
Union with headquarters in Mi
ami, stated that his organization
has been granted jurisdiction
over the fishermen from Key
West along the Atlantic coast
north to Norfolk, Va. He declared
that the aims of the union is to
see that men in the seafood in
.dustry in this area are given the
means to earn a fair and decent
livelihood.
Routh pointed out that the es-
tablished union price on craw-
fish is 20 cents in the Keys and
% cents on the mainland, and
that fishermen would cooperate
with all dealers who would CO.
operate with them in hopes of
stabilizing the industry. Routh
