Dr. Merriam who is presi. tution of , Washington, continues as Wild Ducks Eat $2,000,000 Of State’s Grain : SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18—As a result of favorable weather and the breeding conditions in Canada and ‘Alaska, an increase of 15 to 20 million ducks and geese over last year’s record flight can ‘be anticipated. It is estimated that 31 million ‘wild ducks entered California last year, resulting in more than $2,000,000 worth of damage to rice and field crops. ; These facts are brought out in an article appearing in the current 1ssue of California, Magazine of the Pacific, published by the California state chamber of commerce. The ariicle on wild fowl depredations in California was written by George Lodi of Arbuckle, chairman of the joint wildlife management committee. Since the organization of the joint wildlife management committee in 1942, Lodi points out, continous study has been made of the problem of controlling wild fowl depredation of rice, grain, and lettuce crops, vitally needed for the war effort. The committee, Lodi states, has vigorously advocated a series of twelve Tecommendations, all designed to disperse the flight of ducks through herding and feeding and to permit a reasénable reduction of their numbers. pe Reviewing the progress of the control program, Lodi points out. that state refuges have been provided at Suisun; Gridley and Honey Lake Valley. On most of these feeding areas there is produced a considerable amount of wild natural food which together with the planted crops, will help to maintain the birds if the farmers can drive them off the crops. The U. S. fish and wildlife service which has direct responsibility for all migratory wild fowl will spend this year $116,000 for the leasing land and growing rice and grain for herding ducks away from the farmer crops. Feed refuges totaling slightly more than 2000 acres have been established near Willows, Colusa, and t war theatre stating he will be in Ne vada City Friday. : ; EE IMPROVEMENT MAY FOLLOW HIGHWAY SURVEY A &urvey is to be made _by the public roads administration of three sections of the Downieville Highway preliminary tp the improvement of a total of 8:7 miles, covering a portions of the road from the South Fork of. the Yuba River to North San Juan, from Freeman‘s Crossing on the Middle Fork of the Yuba to Camptonville in Yuba County, and from Depot Hill to the North Fork of the Yuba.
Levant Brown, district ,engineer of ‘the public roads administration with offices in San Francisco, accompanied by Engineer E. J. Mc(Cracken have just’ completed preliminary arrangements for ‘the survey for-the Tahoe national forest offices here. It is expected also to ynake a. survey of three and half miles of thé Tahoe Ukiah Highway along the Bear River grade. Discussing the surveys yesterday, \Guerdon Ellis, swpervisor of the Tahoe forest, said_that there seemed a good prospect of obtaining federal aid in improving both the Downieville and the Tahoe Ukiah highway providing the bill now pending in congress, alloting a billion and a half dallars for road improvements and to be expended in the three years following the end of the war ig enacted. The measure would provide that 50 per cent of the gum be expended on federal primary roads, 25 per cent on secondary road systems, and 25 per cent in-urban areas. ‘Mrs. Arline Atkins, 30, of Grass Valley driving a pick-up truck loaded with wood, ran imto a cow Sunday afternoon on-the Tahoe Ukiah Sutter City. Feeding areas are to be established near Dos Palos in MarcedWCounty in Imperial County, and, . if additional barley can be secured in the delta region of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. The joint “wildlife: management committee has strongly urged changes in federal regulations to permit a sreater harvest of birds, as an aid to farmers as well: as an addition to the domestoe food supply. Some. libHighway eight miles east of this city. ee Traffic Officer L. L. Richards who investigated the accident stated ‘that Mrs. Atkins was unhurt ‘but that truck sustained considerable daniage. He looked for the cow but was unable fo find it. Mrs. Atkins said one its legs Was broken. “Tt ig unusual to collige with a cow along the Tahoe Ukiah Highway but ‘eralization has been obtained. Ten days have been ‘added tothe shooting season and the bag ‘limit has. -been increased on he species of ducks which do most of the crop damage.’ Last year’s regulation Aimited the bag to ten a day and twenty in pos-. Sesaion. The. new regulation permits an additional five of mallard, widgeon, and: sprigs, and an additional ten of these in possession, making at least five mallards, widgeons. or Sprigs, to take a total of fifteen a day and have thirty in posseasion. To meet the situation, the war Production ‘board hag “authorized Nearly hal a million shot gun shells, 45,500,000 rounds of center fire ses of 22 caliber. Ammunition is now available in the counties and can be obtained by the farmers through the} county war boards. At ual m collisions with deer are comparatively. frequent. : Mature conebearing trees only 9 or ten inches high, stunted by acid soil of the pine barrens near Fort Bragg, California, are said to be th world’s only pigmy forest. , ket street railway has charged for years.” Thus will vanish from San Francisco the five cent ride,which citizens boasted was enjoyed by only one other city in the nation, New York. Even the merger of the two lines will not give San Francisco a single street car fare. he California street cable lines will continue to charge six cents, until the state railway commission acts favorably on a petition for permission to charge sever THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1¢ Se Salvation Army Fete The September 23 and 25. you The Harvest (Festival Week f will again be observed by thetion Army.
