Wildlife OP T ITER FLOW COLUMBIA (Editor' Note: This is tin first of two articles on national wild life week in the form of an in terview with G. C. Fairfield, refuge manager at Tulelake.) Some 2,300 regular and 2,300 seasonal employes of the fish and wildlife service. United States department of the Inter ior, are joining 50,000,000 or more Americans In celebrating National Wildlife Restoration week, which began Monday, sponsored by the National Wild life federation. National, state. and local organizations through out the country will hold meet ings to call the nation's attention to the necessity of conserving the wildlife populations in North America, according to C. G. Fairchild, refuge manager sta tioned in Tulelake. "Incidentally, this Is the first year that the fish and wildlife service, as such, has participated In Wildlife Restoration week. he said. He recalled that the service was formed last July when the bureau of fisheries and the bureau of biological survey were consolidated by President Roosevelt. "The consolidation, effected under Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, has resulted in coordinating the conservation ffnrtx of the two organizations,' Fairchild continued. The lines of work conducted by both former bureaus still continue, be added, wild Animals Dolna Well Many of the 263 national wild life refuges will hold open house for the nubile. Visitors wno wisn to see the sanctuaries may do go by calling the refuge head quarters and making arrange ments with the manager. In Ore gon 11 refuges will hold open house. "Only a few years ago," the service official said, "the Ameri can wildlife situation was tremely alarming, but we are now optimistic about the effect conservation practices are hav ing on our wild animal and fish populations. He pointed with pride to the "excellent comeback" made by most of the migratory water fowl. In 1935, he explained, the wild ducks and geese had fallen to an all-time low of less than 30,000,000. "But since careful management and planning have been underway, the population has increased in 6 years to more than 65,000,000," he asserted. No one thing can be credited with the return of waterfowl, he admitted, but the nation-wide network of wildlife refuges and the regulation of hunting played an important role in the recov ery of the game birds. "And we believe," Fairchild added "that the increase is in great part the result of the ser vice's action program, based on investigations conducted for many years by scientists." Conduct inTM tioitions In Oregon, a cooperative unit headed by Arthur S. Einarsen is located at the Oregon State Agri cultural college at Corvallis. Among investigations conducted there in recent years are studies on habits, range foods, rates of increase, utilization, and limit ing factors of antelope; status, lile history, and limiting factors of Columbian black tailed deer; and game management on farm lands to produce upland game integrated with farm cropping systems. Life history studies on various species of animals are conducted by the service naturalists. It is tnrough the work of these scien tists that the service has estab lished the largest collection of North American mammal speci mens in the world. More than 137,000 specimens have been col lected primarily for study pur poses, and some 1,500 kinds of animals have been described by service personnel. On the basis of a compilation conducted last year, service mammalogists estimated that there are more than 5,800,000 big-game animals in the United States. Oregon ranked seventh with a total of 294,032 big-game animals of seven species. Restoring depleted popula tions of wild animals, conserving the present stock, and control ling depredations require knowl edge of the food habits of the various species. Food-habits lab oratories, where investigations and experiments are conducted, are located at the Patuxent Re search Refuge in Maryland and at the Wildlife Research Labora tory in Denver, Colo. Field men are stationed throughout the country to study conditions in each section. The foods habits Investigator working in Oregon is Clarence A. Sooter. "Wildlife conservation is com plex work," Fairchild said, "and the service has specialists In all branches of the subject." The four flyway biologists who fol low the more than 65 million mi gratory waterfowl on their northern and - southern flights each fall and spring are special ists on wild ducks and geese. Oregon is in the Pacific flyway, wheel L. J. Goldman studies the population changes and the sta tus of the wild ducks and geese, as well as their migrations. "Don't forget," the service official added, "that some 2.000 licensed private cooperators throughout the country operate bird-banding stations. On the basis of this work, the flight routes of many migratory spec ies have been worked out." There are 22 bird-banding stations in Oregon. Numbered bands have been put on more than 3,700,000 birds of the 478 species in North America. "That's quite an accomplish ment," Fairchild declared, "and the work has been valuable in studying the habits of the birds and in adopting hunting regula tions and other management practices for the conservation of the species." MIRY URGES T WASHINGTON, April 14 VP) Congressional demands for dol- lar-a-faushel wheat and 13-cent cotton gained the support Satur day of Senator McNary (R-OreJ, minority leader. The Oregon senator, former chairman of the senate agricul ture committee, told reporters he would go along on legis lation for mandatory govern ment loans on five major crops at considerably above recent market levels. "I favor government loans at about 85 or 75 per cent of par ity," he said. Farm minded congressmen conceded that price-pegging government loans on cotton, wheat, corn, rice and tobacco might cause slight increases in the cost of living but they denied these would come within the scope of the new price-fixing agency created yesterday by President Roosevelt. They said that market prices of most farm products now were below parity or fair exchange levels and that the proposed price-pegging loans sought only to attain this range. Senator McNary a announce ment came after both senate and house agriculture committees had recommended bills to raise present government loan values on these major crops. The theory of the government loans is to put a floor under market prices. Farmers can place crops under loans unless markets return about the same price. Senator Bankhead (D-Ala) won approval from the senate agri culture committee for loans near the full parity level of $1.13 a bushel for wheat and 15.87 cents a pound for cotton. The house agriculture committee brought out a similar bill aimed at 75 Der cent of Darity or about 84 cents a bushel for wheat and 12 cents a pound for cotton. Before farmers could obtain these higher loan levels, they would have to comply with planting limitations and approve rigid marketing quotas and pen alties. WASHINGTON, April 14 (JP) Senator McNary (R-Ore) advised Judge Robert M. Duncan of Burns, Saturday, an engineer from the mines bureau was tak ing samples of ore believed to contain tin from the Burns area and would send them to Wash ington for analysis. The senator had been advised there were tin deposits in the vicinity but so combined In other substances it would take a special form of assay to separ ate the metal. He told Duncan that C. F. Jackson, chief mineral engineer of the bureau, had promised to have every known test applied to the samples to determine if they contained tin in paying quantities.

April U VP) Delegates from Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho and Montana were warned Saturday that water supply conditions in the Colum bia river basin may prove among the worst In recorded history. Information gathered for the fifth annual interstate Columbia basin water forecast committee showed that southeastern and far eastern Oregon, which re ceived some benefits from the recent California storms, were the only areas where moisture will be plentiful this season. The committee said soli mois ture from fall rains was good, alleviating the condition con siderably R. A. Work of Medford, who presided, related that the lowest peak flow since 1879 was pre dicted for the Columbia and tributary rivers. Work is in charge of snow surveys and ir rigation water forecasts for the Oregon experiment station. U. S. geological survey figures indi cate a peak flow of about 310. 000 second feet at the mid-Columbia point of The Dalles, com pared with 370.000 last year. The all-time low was 269.000 in 1928. Grand Coulee dam stor age may prevent the flow from dropping to second-low 308,000 second feet of 1X31. However, Bonneville engi neers may ask that Grand Coulee hold the peak flow much lower because of need for more electric power in the northwest this summer, H. ' R. Stevens, Portland committee member, said. When the flow exceeds 200,000 second feet, power pro duction drops. James J. Marr of Boise, Ida., said Canada's streams would be within 10 per cent of 1940 in water volume, but below the boundary all peak stages will be moderate or low.
