                    I have been 'reatly Lntorcsted in the newspaper account

      of the sbove matter. I enclose herewith copy of my article appearing

      in the St. Louis Star-Times, Thursday, January 17, Q, which I 
      thou ýt ;n1ight interest you.  I have no rieans of Lnowinjm
the con- 
      Qitions all over the United States and Canada, but 1 do know local

      conditions in this -)art of the .."ississirpi Valley, both as
to rJane 
      and fish. I sincerely hope your Conference will adopt some agree- 
      11,ent between Candda and the Uinie      L' 
                                      ited States to protect wild ducks and

      7eese - either a closed season or a C-reatli: reduced bar limit and

      the abolition of ai1tomatic pimp suns, baited graunds and decays. 
      As to quail, [rnc certainly should be a closed season in Tkissouri

      and Arkansas, and 1 believre in the other states in the '11,lissi-ý
