Sept. 22.—UP)—Ar- | Old lake bottoms, dried-up marsh lands and otherwise worthless acreages in the North Dakota hinterlands have been transformed into some of the finest migratory and upland game refuges in the Northwest. Today approxinfately 112,000 acre feet of water have been stored on the 0 secondary preserves, covering some 96,000 acres of land, according to M. O. Steen, regional project administrator for the U. 8. Bureau of Biological Principally the work of the Biologi- jcal Survey in co-operation with the {Works Progress administration has been one of rerreating the bird sanc- tuaries. Steen said, in discussing the program for restoring the natural habitants of American wildlife, “When the early settlers came to the state, there were many lakes and natural breeding grounds for wildlit he said, “Around each were many and varied shore and aquatic plants, fur- nishing excellent feed and cover for the game birds. Ducks, geese, grouse, and scores of other wildlife were pres- ent in unestimated numbers.” Intensive farming, drainage pro- Jects, fires, over-grazing and then the drouth destroyed these wildlife Sanctuaries. Lakes dried up, normal spring run-offs being barely sufficient to maintain part of the vegetation. Off the dry lake beds, high winds raised clouds of white alkaline dust during the late summer and fall. BISMARCK TRIBUNE. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1937 No. 2—Ardock Lake Despite efforts of North Dakota sportsmen and sportsmen’s orgeniza- tions, many species of game birds were threatened with extinction and areas that once had been a “hunter's para- dise” each year lost more and more of their bird population.

Dams, spillways, water control: works and dikes were erected to conserve the water and prevent soil erosion, Aquatic and land vegeta- tion was planted, areas were posted and fenced in some cases, and today a new growth of protective cover is springing up. Recreation centers have been fur- nished for many outlying communi- ties, providing them with swimming, ”| boating and picnicking facilities, such as atthe two lakes shown in the ac- companying pictures, he said.
