Biological Survey Discusses ‘Activities During Past Year Discussing wild-life administra- tion from the national angle, Paul G. Redington, Chief of the Bureau of Biological Survey, in his annual report which Secretary Hyde of the Department of Agriculture made public today, details the ac- tivities of the Bureau which in- clude wild-life research and con- servation, control operations, fur- farming refuge establishment and maintenance, and enforcement of laws protecting wild life. The report covers the fiscal year ending June 30, 1930. “Research in tne relationships, habits, production, control and the conservation of wild life,” says Mr. Redington, “is essential and funda- mental. Reservations must be set aside for the long-time benefit of the wild life that is more and more being crowded off its ancient, feed- ing, breeding and resting grounds by ever-increasing human occupa- tion. Regulation Essential “Regulation of the use and en- joyment of wild life is essential to the immediate welfare of species | that would otherwise be hunted to the point of extermination. Control operations directed to suppress the depredations of predatory wild ani- | mals may also be termed an essen- tial form of regulation, necessary both for the conservation of useful |'and harmless wild life and for eco- nomic reasons as well.” The Bureau of Biological Survey conducts special wild-life surveys and cooperates with other bureaus, crganizations, and individuals as re- quested ‘This bureau also becomes a clearing house for information on the needs, habits, control, propa- gation, and relationships of the forms of vertebrate wild life other than the fishes. The prin- cipal activity of the bureau, from the time of its organization 45 years ago, has been the study of the wild birds and mammals of the country, ! extending, with the passage of years, to work for their conserva- Q Why not a watch for him or her or yourself?

Interest Is Increasing Redington stresses the in- interest in conservation which constantly makes it more evident that wild life administra- tors—Federal, State and local—must be ever alert for the welfare of the species under their guardianship. Their chief responsibility, he says. is to protect the wild life itself. They are the duly constituted guardians of the varicus species, and must be true to the trust im- posed upon them, having due re- gard for economic considerations. “In spite of any pressure that may be exerted by organized groups and by individuals having special inter- est at stake,” he says, “administra- tors should perform their duty fearlessly and without favor. Neces- sary measures for wild-life conser- vation or control must be taken when dictated by thorough and careful investigation and consider- ation of all factors involved.” Evidences of Progress | Mr. Redington cites as some of the evidences of progress the fact that during the year food-resource surveys of proposed migratory-bird refuges have been completed on 189 units in 48 states, aggregating more than 3,700,000 acres, and their biological suitability determined; and that land-valuation surveys, preliminary to purchase agree- ments, have been made on 40 of these units in 24 States, involving approximately 1,225,000 acres. As recommended by the Biological Survey, the Migratory Bird Con- servation Commission has author- ized the first two purchases of areas under the new migratory- bird refuge program, and two addi- tional areas of public domain sim- ilarly recommended for the same purpose have been reserved. In furtherance of the refuge program, | Congress authorized $250,000 for the establishment of the Cheyenne Bot- toms (Kansas) Migratory Bird Re- fuge, and surveys therefor were begun by the bureau under a spe- cial appropriation of $50,000. —,———— ALASKA PARKS 'LURE SCENERY Mr. creasing . LOVERS NORTH Never Disappoint, Says Na- tional Park Service— ‘ Plan Betterments | i Alaska, that once lured the sour- | dough with promises of gold, now is | luring the summer visitors with | promises of magnificent scenery :and opportunities for keen enjoy- | ment. Often, the sourdough was disappointed; but the scenery lover will find all promises fulfilled even beyond his expectations. The National Park Service, the | custodian of several of the most scenic areas in Alaska, is planning vigorously to push developments for | the accommodation of visitors, says the annual report of the Director just made public. How High Is Up ‘Mount McKinley, in the national park of that name, is one of the most spectacular mountains in the world. It is the highest mountain on the North American continent, and in fact rises higher above its base than any mountain anywhere. The great peaks of the Andes and the Himalayas rise from bases already well up in altitude. McKinley on the other hand, on its north and west sides, rears its 20,300 feet of height from a base only 2,500 to 3,000 feet high. It is the real answer to the question, “How High Is Up?” Roads are being pushed rapidly into the park area, under the com- petent ' supervision of the Alaska Road Commission, which cooperates fully with the National Park Service in this work. A great highway is planned from the park entrance, on the Eielson, formerly known as Copper Mountain.
