ELLIS (United PreM Science Editor) New York, Feb. 21 U.R An oceanic bird, believed to have been extinct for more than 300 years, has been found alive and in considerable numbers on one of the Bermuda islands. The discovery was announced by Dr. Robert Cushman Murphy, chairman of the department of birds at the American museum of natural history. Murphy said the bird is known as the Bermudian cahow, which is about the size of a pigeon, but possesses longer wings and Is grayish-brown on top and has a white under-belly. The bird also has a curved black beak and Its eyes are ringed by black feathers. According to Murphy, scien tists had believed the cahow be came extinct in 1625 because of a famine among a group of set tlers on one of the Bermudas. In that year, the settlers caught the cahows and ate them. They also looted the birds' nests and ate the eggs. The search for the "extinct" cahow was made by Murphy and Louis I. Mowbray, curator of the Bermuda aquarium; Da vid B. Wingate and Mrs. Mur phy. The group captured five live cahows and counted at least 17 burrows in rocky crevices Where the cahow nests. The museum scientists did not bring the birds back. They were photographed and then released after being banded with U. S. fish and wildlife service rings. Murphy said that one of the most distinctive traits known about the cahow is its homing instinct. The birds, he said, can find their way back to their nests on land after flying per haps 125 miles or more out to sea in search of food. 'The fact that the cahow can find Bermuda again and return to its burrow after these long flights, is even more remarkable than the migratory flight of the golden plover, which flies from the shores of the Arctic to the plains of Patagonia," Murphy said. Murphy believes that the ca how stays out in the open ocean for seven to eight months during the year, and returns to dry land for its 40-day hatching period.

Pickard, 28-year- old Berkeley physician who re fused to register for the doctor's draft because "war is wrong," was ordered held Tuesday for action by the federal grand jury. Pickard turned down, for the second time, a suggestion by U. S. Commissioner Francis St. J. Fox that he change his mind and register for the draft. Asked by Asst. U. S.

Certification Standards For Strawberries Told Cooies of the new "strawberry plant certification standards' prepared by the Oregon State college certification committee for the 1951-52 growing season are now available through the offices of Oregon county extension agents. Copies may also be obtained from R. Ralph Clark, O. S. C. horticultural specialist, who heads the Oregon strawberry plant cer- tification program. The most important require ment is that certified strawberry planting stock for the 1951-52 growing season must be Oregon certified blue tag plants from the 1950-51 growing season. These plants are being dug or will be dug this spring by grow ers whose fields passed four field inspections during the 1950-51 season. ' Another important require ment is that all fields entered for certification must be planted before April 15. Strawberry fields entered for certification must be planted in hills not less than 36 inches apart to allow easy roguing. Grown division type varieties may be planted 24 inches apart. Isolation Required Isolation requirements state that fields entered for certifica tion must be at least 250 yards from other strawberry plants either cultivated or wild, because of the danger of spread of disease. Maximum tolerance for all diseases that show during first and second inspections cannot exceed two per cent, according to the new standards. Only one per cent total diseases will be allowed at final inspection. No yellows (a virus disease) is per mitted and only one-half of one per cent of other virus diseases will be allowed when final in spection is made. There is no tolerance at any inspections for Red Stele, a root disease. County Extension Agent D. L. Rasmussen requests that he be contacted by any Marion county growers interested in the Ore gon strawberry plant certifica tion program. Growers wanting a copy of the standards can tele phone Salem 2-4145 or write Rasmussen at the county agent's office in Salem.
