CONSERVATION IS
SHOWING AMAZING
INCREASE IN GAME
President Avery Of Protective
Association Points to Value
of Pennsylvania System

New York, Aug. 29.-Practice Of en-
vironmental control is proving its
value in the amazing increase OF
pheasants in Pennsylvania, according
to Carlos Avery, president Of the
American Game Protective aSsocia-
ton. The annual kill has jumped from
796 to 1902 pheasants in is years.
incidentally, Pennsylvania is getting
a big hand from sportsmen through
out the world. Long since Pennsyl-
vania attracted universal attention by
the splendid results % It's ccnserva-
ton and restoration wo:is.
twenty-five or 80 years ago, Penn
sylvania was practically barren OF
game" Mr.. Avery said. Then the
citizens became aroused and instituted
splendid conservation and restoration
programs; restocking had to be re-
sorted to in many cases. To-Day,
Pennsylvania. one of the most densely
populated states, is in the front rank
of game production, affording sport
to more than half a million hunters.
"As a specific instance of the sound
ness of this states policies and prac-
tices, which may be adapted to any
states native specie of wild life. we
point to the increase in pheasants.
From the time that the Ring
necked Pheasants were first released
in Pennsylvania in 1915 to the pres
ent time, an amazing increase OF these
birds is recorded. Only 2,096 pheas-
ants were purchased in 1915, and with
262 1855 sportsmen afield during that
same year, 1876 pheasants were killed.
By 1920 when 4,062 pheasants were
purchased and released, 49, ,240 sports
men were afield and $4,000 OF these
birds were killed. During 1929
slightly over 5000 birds were released,
the majority of which were raised at
the state game farms, by refuge
keepers and by sportsmen. During
that year 504 ,748 hunters were atlelo.
and killed 212, 082 pheasants. all OF
which were cock birds, the hens nav
ing been protected since 1928. NO
one knows how many millions OF these
birds are thriving in the state.
This is a fair example OF what can
be accomplished by environmental
control under conservation and res
toration methods. The sportSmen pay
the bill and assist in this state in
every way possible to aid the on
servation department. Every state
can accomplish the same under x
conditions" Mr. Avery concluded.
