Drainage Works Harm

increase of waterfowl so much as re-

‘this section which, due to its impor- |
‘tance for waterfowl, ought to have our |
first attention.
Western breeding areas, which for-
merly produced enormous quantities of
ducks, include the Sacramento and San |
Joaquin Valleys of California, the Lake
region of southern Oregon, and several
lakes and marshes of Idaho, Utah and |
Nevada. In addition to what appears |
to be an excessive reduction in breed-
ing stock from shooting, drainage and
irrigation have cut down the breeding |
|of waterfowl in California to an alarm-
ling degree. Many of the lakes. and

almost waterless or strongly alkaline, |
and are frequently the scene of heavy |
losses from the so-called “western

happen to be desirable for human hab-

still produce birds also are likely to be

even such a homely thing as the fam-
ily wash may cause cracked skulls,
bombings. Last week saw the con-
tinuation of a new kind of peacetime
war. The Nation's milk, product of
patient kine, beverages of babies,
churned up in violence.
Near Plainfield, Ill, the Guernsey
{herd of Isaac Lentz, and independent
idairyman who had withdrawn from a
local milk distributing association and
cut his price, lay in their stalls placid-
ly swishing their tails and chewing
their nocturnal cuds. Suddenly Farm-
er Lentz heard a mighty roar. Run-
ning outside he discovered that his
barn had been bombed, was afire. Be-
fore he and his hands could untangle
the wire with which the bombers had
three horses and 43 cows were a blaz-
ing pyre in the night. Two weeks be-
fore, the barns of two other dairy- |
men, independents like Farmer Lentz, |
had been bombed near Joliet.
Few citizens realize that milk wars
jas bitter as that of northern Illinois
{have been and are still raging in many
another U. S. community. Every large

| some subsidized by the Federal Farm
Since the farmer is usually |
j unable to market his own milk, these
sales agencies become extremely po- |
tent, sometimes to the farmers’ mis-
fortune. Chief sources of trouble: in-
dependent dairymen refusing to abide
by the co-operative’s price dictates as
did Farmer Lentz; co-operatives try-
ing to enter the retail distribution field |
and thereby running afoul of large
retail distributors.
From the second of these causes,
milk sold last week in Buffalo, N. Y.,
for 6c a quart. Housewives enjoyed
the lowest milk prices in the State,
the lowest in Buffalo for 25 years. In
