Reporting Whitewing Bands.
With more than fifty bands
already returned, it appears as
if the whitewing dove banding
project undertaken by the Tex-
as Game, Fish and Oyster Com-
mission and the U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service in the Rio
Grande Valley last spring will
be eminently successful in pro-
viding the means of learning
considerable concerning that
species of bird.
Spotsmen killing whitewing
doves with bands on their legs
are asked to return the bands
to the game department office
in Austin or to the game man-
ager at Victoria.
Whitewing doves nest only
in the Valley and in scant num-
bers in Southwest Texas coun-
ties. Their natural range is
being depleted as more and
more land is cleared for citrus
groves and vegetable farms.
Game Department biologists
hope to learn touch of the hab-
its of whitewings before mak-
ing definite recommendations
concerning ways and means to
aid in increasing the white-
wings. It is hoped to ascer-
tain how long the birds live,
how many times they will nest
in a year, whether they travel
north after leaving the nest or
how soon some of them go to
Mexico ahead of the regular
migration, which usually comes
with cold weather, and how
far they move from their nest-
ing areas to their feeding
grounds.
Sportsmen in the Valley and
hunters going into the Valley
for whitewing shooting have
been cooperating with the game
department to the fullest ex-
tent.
pect that he is a brakeman.
His first column was fine and
I am glad someone else has
become interested enough about
our life and work to write about
it. He will have access to
some dope about the car hands
which I can't keep up with,
and I welcome him and his
column. It is common know-
ledge among us that a brake-
man can take a ten cent lamp
and lead a hoghead with a
million dollars worth of ma-
chinery into the river. I feel
that I have many friends
among the brakemen and con-
ductors, so to the unknown
writer I extend best wishes
for a successful and interest-
ing column.
Do Ducks Drown Tmefnselves?
The contention of many vet-
eran duck hunters that a
wounded duck will dive to the
bottom and drown itself by
holding onto vegetation has
been brought up again. A Tex-
as Game Department warden
reports that during the last
hunting season he saw a duck
wounded by a long shot. He
marked the spot where the
fowl hit the water, but did not
see the bird come to the sur-
face. Reaching the spot, he
observed bubbles coming up.
Reaching down, he found the
duck. Blades of grass, appar-
ently bToken from the main
growth on the lake bed were in
the duck's bill.

see the fastest piece of foot-
work he ever heard about. We
stopped there for water about
1:30 a. m. Thursday. Charley
Rucker was braking ahead. On
stopping he told me that he
was going to look the train
around a liUle and requested
that we did not take too much
time because he didn't want to
get too far away from the en-
gine because the booger man
might be out. I told him to
go ahead and have no fears
but to be brave because he was
soon going to be a soldier and
Uncle Sam needs brave men.
He didn't seem to think much
of my offer to holler for the
police if he got jumped up back
there. He said he would rath-
er stay close to the engine and
not take any chances on my
voice and the police. He said
I might not holler loud enough.
He came out plain and asked
me a diiect question if I was
not about half nuts to even
think about such a thing!
I notice we have an addition
to the writers of railroad men
and their doings. I don't know
his identity as yet but I sus-
