NORTHEASTERN STATES - Continued 
In Table 2 data from the 118 comparable areas are 
summarized in terms of number of broods and young by species. 
On this basis, increases in production were indicated for all 
species except ringneck ducks. ‘The average brood size remained 
about the same as in 1958, ' 
Conclusions 
it is estimated that with the exception of mallards and 
blue-winged teal, which are relatively unimportant in the north- 
east, that the fall flight of ducks will be about the same as 
last year.
