A closed season on migratory water fow! for one or more seasons was ad- vocated yesterday by the American Forestry Association through its board of directors’ meeting here. The directors of the association | adopted a resolution calling attention to “the critical shortage of waterfowl,” and, pointing out that unless the slaughter of the birds is stopped for one or more hunting seasons the time zoon will come when there will be none of them left for reproduction. In addition to the closed season, the association urged adequate appropria- tions and co-operation by the various State game departments and sports- men in general to enforce the pro- hibitive regulation. It also sought to allocate funds to permit the Bureau of Biological Survey to complete its| program of refuge acquisition and their development as resting and propagating areas. Under the program of the bureau geveral hundred thousand acres of former marsh and swamp land in the | BY GEORGE HURD.

The law, if passed, will be set up | as a memorial to E.

It was pointed out that all | the waterfowl that is killed in this country comes here from Canada and that we do not raise any of the birds here. { “This serious emergency,” accordi. g | to Col. Henry Solon Graves, president | of the American Forestry Association, | “has been brought about by a combi- | nation of factors, among which the | most important immediately controlla- | ble one is that of killing by man. | If we are to perpetuate our wild fowl and preserve the sport of duck hunt- | ing, it is essential that immediate | steps be taken to protect and increase | the remaining supply. The situation | is grave, one calling for an aggressive | and fearless program of restoration | and one in which every sportsman in the country must take an active in- terest and part.” | FIRMS WITH D.
