Washington, D. C., April 22. Specialists from the Bureau of Biological Survey say the migratory birds ban has created demand for domesticated stock. Under the 1926 Migratory Bird Treaty Act provisions, permits are issued free by the secretary of agriculture to acquire wild waterfowl as breeding stock or to improve existing stocks, and to possess and traffic in domestic migratory waterfowl for food purposes.
