MISSISSIPPI FLYWAY 
Production Indices - 
As of the present writing, the only production data available are 
from the Chippewa Forest Study Area. On this area it was concluded that the 
1955 brood production was about the same as 1954, but was considerably below 
the 1939-1940 level. 
Conclusions - 
In view of the decreased breeding population and the drought 
condition which existed, it is estimated that the fall flight from Minnesota 
will be somewhat smaller than it was in 1954.
