International Effort
Aids Conservation
Of Continental Fowl
(Editor's note: This it an
other in a series of articles on
different phases of conserva

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-

source, and most states provide
resting and feeding areas, and
in many cases operate public
shooting grounds where the gen
eral public has an opportunity
to participate in the annual har
vest. 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. .

scientists devoted to the nutri
tional approach to health would
like every American to know
the nature of proteins at least as
well as he knows the colors of
the new cars.
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,

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.

Dr. Stanley A. Brown has now
opened his office for- medical
practice in the building just west

avenue in Gold Hill. Dr. Brown,

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."
