writers in Hoi Springs some time
ago of some of the plans and pro-
blems.
• Two year* ago a task force of
Service employees, representing
a cross section of lield and Wash-
ington personnel, was assigned the
job of determining the most im-
portant needs firing fish and wild-
life in the field ol federal respon-
sibility," he said ••Advice and rec-
ommendations were sought from
all possible sources.
"Of the many national problems
considered, the one involving pre
servation of our wetlands stuck
out like a sore thunb It was quite
obvious that the steadily continu-
- ing loss of our potholes, marshes
and small lakes, so neces.-ary for
, migratory waterfoul and other aq-
I uatic wildlife, was a problem of
first magnitude requiring solution
if duck hunting was to continue a*
a national sport.” •'‘W** '
He salt! manjf were critical of
the use of the former *2 fee for
surveys and studies Accordingly,
the new *3 fee will be used solely
for land acquisition of new areas.
The bill also authorizes the open-
ing of not to exceed 40 per cent
of these refuges to public hunting
Inc *3 duck stamp is mandatory
immediately, as is the hunting pro-
vision The earmarking however,
doesn't begin until July 1, I960
Texas will benefit in this land ac-
quisition program. Already the sta-
te. with the aid of' Federal Excise
Tax funds, has bought a marsh
area in Jefferson County and is j
opened to hunting on a limit-‘
ed basis by the Game & Fish Com-
mission in 1958 Although there Is a
it probably will have some hunting
during the coming limited season. 1
Unfortunately, the breeding gro-
unds of our migratory waterfowl
for the most part are without the
boundaries of the United States
We huve sime dinks that remain
I in Texas throughout the year, t ut
I there are only a few Some even
breed in tlie northwestern states,
but again they are few by cum-
panson Most of our ducks repro-
duce in (aroff Canada, their colon-
ial nesting grounds Those not
killed in Texas migrate hack there
each year lor their breeding, and
return to Texas when the first cold
blast of the north moves them
out
This year they have been hard
hit by the drought Just how much
good can be achieved by more re-
fuges in the state* is a difficult
guess But since the experts are
studying the program, we must
go along with them and agree that
good will come of it.
"The picture is not so good.”
Mr. Janzen said. "If it does not
improve much more than we can
now foresee, we have no choice
but to recommend severe restrict-
ions on waterluwl hunting this fall
"We still hope that Mr Duck
Hunter will hove enough faith in
(he future of this sport to contri-
bute his *3 for a duck stamp, even
though his hunting prospects this
fall are pretty grim."
While some parts of the country
have lost materially in their pot-
holes. this situation is not quite
so bad in Texas. There was a
time when ducks had very little
water when they came to Texas.
They alighted in Panhandle grain
fields and then moved on to the
coast.
Then came our program of build-
ing dams in Texas. We now have
more than 100 lakes in Texas of a
capacity of 100 acres or more. A
number of them are extremely
large ones. In uddition there is
hardly a small farm without a sto-
ck tank and every large ranch has
scores of them. W’hcn you fly over
Texas and look down at the lakes,
they dot the earth like thousands
of small diamonds.
Ducks and geese like these rest-
ing spots, and many of them re-
