GAME PRESERVE
Land Owners Between Chris
tiana and Brandywine Favor
Closed Season.

game preserve of $4,000 acres for
the protection of wild game, In that
territory lying between the Brandy
wine and Christian rivers is being pro-
moted by the land owners OF that sec
ton. The proposition. In which II is
hoped all land owners will join, is TO
establish a closed season for five years,
during which time no auail( pheasants
or squirrels, and but few rabbits may
be shot.
OF the territory selected between
I5,O 600 and 10000 acres have already
been pledged. Among these are the
estates OF Colonel Henry A. du Pont
5 900 acres; Senator Coleman du Pont
? 600, and the estates of Josiah Marvel

G. Rupert and William du Pont.

farmers for them 10 have hatched and
raise. If all will cooperate il is be-
licved. by the end of the Ave years
that there will be plenty Of wild game
not only for the landowners but FOL
outside gunners. Farmers could shoot
enough rabbits for their tables but
no wild fowl.
In order that the land may he pro-
tected from poachers, il is said thai

practically shot to death, the hill- OF

| In speaking of the plans Josiah Mar
vel said: THE farmers rave come I,
realize the value of birds which liv,
upon insects and wild seed. The de
struction of insects and consumption
of weed seeds is of great benefit to tn,
land. In this territory it will be nee
essary to do some winter feeding 10
pheasants and quail, but not a grea
deal and usually only during sever,
snow storms. 1t will also be neces
sary to look after the squirrels becaus'
of the shortage of chestnut crop. Witt
an absence of shooting for Ave year
and little winter feeding there 1
no doubt that there viii soon be al
abundance of wild game. believe tn
gunners will encourage the plan be
