Dr. H. F. Lewis,- Ottawa, Here To Consult Local G’ o v e r n m e n t Officials

Dr. Harrison F. tcwis, o1 the Department or the Intel-ior, is in Charlottetown today for the Dur- pose of consulting officials o! the Department oi Agriculture con- cerning the present grave crisis in the wild duck supply of North Am- erica.

Most of the supply oi game ducks ior the greater part oi North Am- erica, Mr. Lewis explains, comes from the soul-he u area of the Pralr ie Provinces where these birds have their principal nesting grounds. Recent reports from more than 200 observers in waterfowl breeding areas on the Prairies mdicaw that, owing to the prevailing severe drought, the sloughs and marshy tracts over much oi the prairie country have dried up, with there- sult that the wild duck crop this Year is almost e complete failure in the prairie region. ‘Government 0b- servers who have been sent into the north ior the express purpose 0d discovering if the ducks had moved northward as a result of lack of water on the metrics, report that this is not the case, and that the apparent scarcity of wild, ducks in the west is a. reality.

In consequence, it hunting pro- ceeds as has been customary lrl re- cent years, this western duck pop- ulation may be struck e. blow from which it can never recover while our own stock oi eastern ducks, such ea Black Ducks, will be so re- duced as g result oi the concentra- tion of hunting on them that there will be comparatively few oi them left for the next breeding season. The crisis, Dn-Lewls states, is the most severe that has ever been known in duck hunting in North Ameriq; since the white man came here and it is receiving very care- ful attention from the authorities concerned.
