waterfowl batting arrests were
made last fall are in the Attain
tic Flyway.
Maryland, Virginia and
North Carolina contain about
AZ per cent Of the available
waterfowl wintering grounds
In the Atlantic Flyway. Birds
concentrate there in large num-
bers and promiscuous shooting
that causes appreciably higher
kills cuts into the number Of
birds that viii return to the
breeding grounds the following
spring.
The 1858 annual waterfowl
winter census shows that ducks
and geese in the Atlantic Fly
way are continuing their
alarming downward trend.
Total waterfowl are % per cent
below the similar period last
year. Ducks are down IS per
cent; geese. IA per cent; coot.
81 per cent; and only brant, Q
species not susceptible to bait
ing. shows an increase.
1T seems odd that while not
one state TO my knowledge,
Northrup said. permits hunt
ers to bait resident species OF
game, some are careless about
the batting Of ducks and geese.
Actually waterfowl are subject
to more prolonged cunning
pressure than any other species
Of wildlife. Shooting begins in
late summer in the north and
continues well into the winter
in the South"
The chapter ends by urging
Interior Secretary Seaton to
consider putting the trouble
some states on notice that flu
ture hunting seasons will not
be granted unless prompt ac-
ton is taken to remedy the
situation.
Calls Figures Incorrect
George B. Shields, chief game
warden Of the Maryland Game
and Inland Fish Commission.
says the chapters figures on
arrests are misleading and in
correct. He said the total cases
numbered 254. Of which LOG in
voked batting. In 1873 Of the
total, State wardens acted
alone, while in the remaining
II. Federal wardens assisted.
These we're all batting cases.
Shields also noted that while
Maryland might lead the Ma
ton in arrests. it also leads in
number Of waterfowl. He
pointed out that the State ward
ems have many other duties to
perform in addition to seeking
waterfowl violators. Further
more. he said, Federal wardens
have an airplane to help spot
violators. while Maryland ward
ems have none.
On the other hand, Fish and
Wildlife said the figures given
by the Chapter were correct
according to its records.

Taking the first white shad
Of the season over the week
end in the upper Potomac will
be good news to many fisher
men.
Julius Fletcher reported the
FIRST fish. a 4l2-pounder, was
caught Saturday by Charles B.
Sears Of 3l7l Stanton road,
Sc. in the rifles on Fletcher's
boatyard on Canal Road. The
shad bit ON a Little Joe spin
ner-hook combination baited
with a bloodworm.
Fletcher said two others we're
reported taken that day but
he could not confirm the catch.
Three we're caught Sunday.
These are white or true shad
as distinguished from the
smaller hickory shad or hickory
jacks. Members of the same
herring family. they furnish
great sport on rod and reel. For
lures, use small spoons and
darts. of which there are sew
eral varieties on the market.
Spinning gear now is generally
used.
No hickories have shown at
Fletcher's, but a river observer
said he saw a number being
taken from the rocks toward
Chain Bridge by spin-casters.
Meanwhile, other anglers
visited the Rapahannock River
where a hot spot for hickorieS
was said to be the bridge on
Route at Fredericksburg. One
man said he caught IS there.
A few hickories also were taken
shortly after daylight yester-
day at Queen Anne bridge on
the Patuxent.

seasons In all states having
chronic waterfowl batting prob
lens.
The chapter. through It's
president. Kenneth Northup,
says "conservationists are con-
cerned about the failure Of
some states to recognize their
responsibility to manage water
fowl resources for the good Of
all the public. BY keeping con-
flicting hunting regulations on
the books. or. more simply. by
overlooking all but the most
fragrant violations Of the over
riding Federal code. a few
states are enabling shooters TO
misuse our resources"
Cites Batting Ban
Pointing out that the Fed
eral Government in 1885
banned the use Of grain or
other foods to attract birds
within range of guns, Northup
says. "One out Of every l2l
persons who purchased q duck
stamp in Maryland last fall
was convicted Of shooting ducks
and geese over bait"
THE Maryland batting regu-
lation. which conflicts with the
Federal regulation" he con-
tinueS. "stipulates that no gun
ner shall shoot within 200
yards Of bait. Federal regula-
tions forbid batting at any dis
lance for the purpose Of Turing
waterfowl within range OF
shooters. All gunners arrested
in Maryland last fall were
shooting within 200 yards of
bait. thereby. defying both the
State and Federal regulations. "
Northup goes on to say that
Maryland, with 234 arrests for
infraction of both the State
and Federal batting regula-
tons. led the Nation in VIOLA
tons last year. It added that
six Federal agents made los
of the arrests while IS we're
made by so State wardens.
Other States in which arrests
were made. Northup said. were
California, 70; South Carolina.
SIS; Virginia. so; Georgia and
Ohio, IS; Illinois. %: Florida
and Missouri. 10; North Caro-
lima. 9; Delaware, 2. and North
Dakota, I.
South Carolina Second
In number of convictions
based on total duck stamp sales,
South Carolina was second to
Maryland. the chapter presi-
dent said, with one in every
800. Ohio had one in every
1869 and California. one in
2,469.
Batting apparently has
wider practice in the Atlantic
Coastal states than in any
