Several hundred birds banded by Schmidt are now at large. Any recovery 
of bands during the next open season would have special value, because such

birds will have survived the low of the cycle. 
Minnesota and Michigan pursue shooting policies quite different from 
those of Wisconsin. A comparative study of the effects would be valuable.

The foregoing are merely samples of tho kind of work proposed. 
Information concerning the proposed study can be obtained from 
Aldo Leopold, Professor of Game Management, College of Agriculture, Madison,

Wisconsin. 
This proposal is sponsored by the KUMLIEN OFNITHOLOGICAL CLUB, of which 
Franklin Schmidt was a charter member.
