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

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.
