May 1, 1933 International Effort Aids Conservation Of Continental Fowl (Editor's note: This it an other in a series of articles on different phases of conserva tion, published during Na tional Conservation -Week. May 1 to 7. By ROBERT H. SMITH U.S. Fish and Wildlife Biologist Our native North American wildfowl, during their semi-annual migrations between their northern nesting territories and their southern wintering grounds, cross international boundaries as freely as the wind. No red tape no clearing through customs no passports. They come and go as they please as they have throughout the ages. This posed a problem in con servation and protection, since, as is usually the case, every body's business turned out to be nobody's responsibility. Led to Treaties The feeling in Canada was, "Why should we conserve wa terfowl for the Americans to shoot?", and this feeling was re ciprocal on this side of the line. This finally led to treaties be tween the governments of the United States, Canada and Mex ico concerning the protection of migratory birds. Under the terms of the treaties the par ticipating countries agreed to certain minimum requirements regarding open seasons, bag lim its and other essentials for the adequate protection of the birds. Each of the 48 states also has a stake in this renewable re- GRANGE Butte Falls Grange Al.

Fortunately, waterfowl, like other wildlife and fish crops, can be harvested annual ly as long as adequate breeding stocks are maintained. Service Has Responsibility The federal government, through the Fish and Wildlife Service of the Department of the Interior, is charged with formu lating suitable annual regula tions governing the hunting and protection of waterfowl in the United . States. As a basis for sound regulations, a tremendous amount of information is requir ed annually concerning numbers and comparative abundance of the various species of ducks and geese. To get this information, fed eral game technicians work from the Arctic shores of Alaska and Canada to the tropical lagoons of Mexico and the West Indies. In addition, the Canadian Wild life service, the provincial game departments, the state game de partments and the department of forestry and game of the Mex ican government, together with private organizations such as the Wildlife Management Institute and Ducks Unlimited, all con tribute to the over-all problem of gathering information. , When the facts are assembled and analyzed, and all informa tion is at hand, the hunting regu lations are made for the current season. In this way as liberal a harvest as the current popula tion will allow is possible. When the season is over a simultan eous survey is made throughout North America wherever wa terfowl winter - to check the survival or "escapement." Again all participating agencies pool their information so that the most accurate answers may be had. Cycle Has Begun As you read these lines, the waterfowl breeding cycle has begun again. In this latitude some Canada geese have already hatched. In the great plains and the southern prairies of Canada mallards ad pintails are even now incubating . eggs. Probably some of these early nesters will be frozen out, while theirs will bring off their broods of downy ducklings. If they survive a season of pos sible drought, predatory birds, mammals and fish and disease, they will be birds on the wing next fall. Right now, technicians are on the ground measuring this potential production. They are working from airplanes, boats and on foot. . As the season progresses and the country to the north breaks its bonds of ice and snow, other crews will follow the ducks with aircraft, keeping pace with the retreating ice line right to the Arctic ocean. These investiga tions will continue throughout the summer and by the middle of August the information will be compiled and analyzed. Then, when all the chips are down, the regulations will be made according to the size of the crop and another hunting sea son will be on its way. . pTv . HARPER HAMILTON JR.

Some of them are frankly alarmed for the future because of proteins, but what can be done about it when Americans think one protein is as good as an other? Because they . don't know, Americans are kidding them selves when they think they're the best-fed people on earth, ac cording to Dr. William Coda Martin, of the New York Medi cal College. He spoke out feelingly at a re cent meeting of the American Academy of Nutrition because the protein content of wheat and corn grown in America is stead ily declining even as the bushel yield of grain per acre is increas ing. Animal bodies, human, bovine or whatever, do not make pro tein they merely remake the protein structure which is first put together by plant life, he said. The plants take the chemical parts of proteins out of the soil add such elements as calcium in fair amounts, and add traces of such minerals as magnesium, Gold Hill Gold Hill Leta Palmer from Arizona is a visitor at the Ralph Bell home. ' Voters of School District 6C approved the $350,000 bond is sue by a good majority last week for the two new school buildings one at Gold Hill and the other at Central Point. Plans are for a four-unit building at Gold Hill and a 12-unit one for Central Point. The overcrowded condi tion which exists in both schools made it necessary for more class rooms. It is hoped that work will begin in June and that the Gold Hill unit can be finished for at least the first grades and possi bly the second by fall. In the meantime the school will have to carry on with the crowded con ditions that now exist. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Morgan will attend the marriage of both their sons in June. Claude D. Morgan and Nancy Mae Bennett, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pres ton Bennett will be ' married June 4 at the Gold Hill Com munity Methodist church, Gold Hill, and then the J. D. Morgans will drive to Maida, N. D., to at tend the wedding of Joseph L. Morgan to Miss Rhena Blair, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Blair. June 15. Both will be church weddings. After a short honeymoon the newlyweds will return to Gold Hill with his par ents t Mrs. Charles Bell is reported improving in Portland where she has been for the past week re ceiving medical care. Mr. Bell, his mother. Rhoda Bell and the Bell's two children, Charles and Pamela are leaving this week end for Portland to visit "with Barbara. It may be possible she can return home with them. Marvin Throne, navy electn- pian 2nd class who has been visiting his parents Mr. and Mrs. Paul Thome will leave Friday, Mav 6. .and drive to Alameda where he will check in Saturday morning. Marvin's four year en listment will be up July 15 wnen he will return home. He has ac cepted a teachers job at Ruch, Oregon, where he will teach a subject one half day and music the other half.

Brown has now opened his office for- medical practice in the building just west of Cogswells market on second avenue in Gold Hill.

He re ceived pre-medical training at both University of Oregon and Willamette university and at tended the university of Oregon Medical school. manganese, copper, boron, zinc, and molybdenum. A man eats these plants and his body breaks down the pro teins' into their many parts and puts the parts together into man protein. Or the man eats the cow which had eaten the plants and whose body had remade them into cow-protein. And so the man's body remakes cow protein into man-protein. Which is as it should be. What isn't as it should be, Dr. Martin said, is that in the United States the vegetable protein, upon which animal protein depends, is becoming of lower and lower quality. This is so because the soil of "two-thirds" of the country he excepted the Middle West is no longer able to supply plants with everything they need to make high quality protein. Unfortunately, "there are few nutritional standards for our foods," he said. "The United States Department of Agricul ture bases its yearly statistics on the yield per acre and not on the nutritional value of the food in human health. Size and appear ance and taste seem to be the major requirements for our foods." Yet "protein produced on in fertile soil deficient in trace minerals is considered an incom plete protein or a protein of low biological quality protein from fertile soil." He granted ,that science "still knows very little" of the value of trace minerals in human nu trition. But they are unquestion ably essential and, by way of example, he continued: "It is now known that many of these trace minerals act as catalyst starter upper in body metabol ism. One such condition that is well known is the inability of the red cell to utilize iron with out the catalytic action of copper."
