Evon without a continuation of the droiith, closure of the season is necessary, During the past winter. the Biological Survey made a sur- vey of southern concentration grounds, and report an apparent increase of ducks over the prccqd- ing your amounting to from five to ten per cent. But the incrcaw was irregular. Some of the rarer species have continued t0 dedlfle despite the fact that there was no lawful shooting of them in i938. Any competent student knows that; such a condition‘ calls for closing the seamn unless the rarer species are to be allowed to disappear. ‘The situation reveals clearly the failure of the “selective bag" u n which the Biological Survey as been relying for the preservation of the rarer s ecies; and it leaves the more plent ful species still in dan- ser- . To appreciate the intensity of this crisis, one must. look at. the waterfowl problem by decades.

A century ago. as everybody knows. ducks and geese in North America wore reckoned in the bil- lions. At that they hurl {against them evciy known cncmy except man, and yet their host, was count- less. From the Atlantic to the Pacific. the migration every sivriiis and fall meant the movement of a. bird army whose aggrcgate num- ber staggered ihc imagination.
