Waterfowl Heading Southward j COLUMBUS, OHIO — Ohio waterfowl hunters may , find good news in a recent report from the Canadian Provinces telling' of the mass migration of ducks from the north country. Mallards, Bluebills and Redheads' started their southward flight following a light snow and the freezing of smaller surface waters. Considerable numbers of ducks remain on larger, open waters, but' a general freeze-up is close at band. i Warm sunny weather coupled with generally abund­ ant surface water has caused the ducks to spread out • across the provinces where they have been finding ample foods on harvested fields. Final exodus of ducks and geese . will take place as soon as normal cold waves start over the plains and this should reflect in the Ohio waterfowl hunters' success. * * * CONSERVATION WITH FUTURE FARMERS Figures released today by A. W. Short, Conservation Education Supervisor with the Department of Vocational Agriculture, reveal that Ohio’s Future Farmers, during 1954, planted four million multiflora roses, saved 2400 den trees and constructed 1,000 brush piles —- all for wildlife. Seventeen hundred Future Farmers helped har­ vest an important crop by trapping 16,000 fur-bearing animals during the year, The members participated in good forestry practices , by protecting 24,000 acres of woodlot from grazing and - planted 600,000 new trees. Two thousand boys have | improved their home farming practices as a result o f ' participating in land judging activities, conservation j field days and visiting wildlife demonstraton areas. J This cooperative project, between the Ohio Division! of Wildlife and the Vocational Agriculture Department aims at balancing conservation activities and insures} that the future of our national resources will be in capable J hands, ? !
