pressure is increasing throughout
the United States. the figures for
hunting license sales during the

grand total of 12,758, 698 licenses

Like all duck hunters. however
we are going again soon. The op-
timism of a duck hunter is truly a
wonderful phenomenon. OF course,
present season limits have a lot to
do with our shooting conditions
and there are many duck hunters
who do not have the memories OF
former days when no one in this
area gave duck hunting thought
until around Christmas time. Per-
haps because the law says this is
the duck hunting season, present
day duck hunters believe there
should be plenty of ducks to shoot
At least this may be one factor ac-

NewYork Water Shortage Cited
.By Dean as Lesson to Maryland

23 counties have organized soil
conservation districts. Their
main objective is preventing
erosion and increasing the fer
tility of their land.
Incidental products of their
work are the conservation Of
water and cutting down on sill
tation Of streams.
"The investment and effort
thus far made a contribution
toward conserving our natural
water resources" DR.. Symons
said. 1T behooves US to inten-
sify, these efforts in order to
avoid the dire conditions that
now confront New York.
"Our city people can well afford
to encourage In every way our
program Of conservation. It is
vitality in their interest, as well as
in the interest Of all people"
Evening star., 1949-12-16

DR.. T. B. Symons. dean Of the

that Marylanders should give
more than passing thought to
the critical water shortage in
New York City.
DR.. symons recalled the 1890
drought in Maryland and said
I'VE are not immune to the
hazards"
Let US take this lesson" he
continued. "as an example Of
what can happen when proper
attention is not given to the con-
servation Of our water resources. u
