back the pilfered lands and return them
to nature the sportsmen will pay the
reward and no questions asked.
There really isn't anything mysterious
or difficult about conservation. No in
cubators or artificial brooders are neces-
sary If we will only give the mother
bird a chance Marauding man has been
making unkind remarks about the crow,
the chicken hawk and the house cat,
and casting upon them the blame for
the disappearance of game. He has
passed the buck to every one and every
thing but himself, when as a matter of
fact he is the one who pulled the chair
from under Mother Nature. Now he
has been sent to his room without any
supper to think it over. And he has
plenty to think about; polluted streams,
drained lakes, denuded hills and an
unmarketable surplus of farm products
not to mention the poor souls who
have no money to buy, even at depres-
sion prices.
In Washington at the present are
hundreds Of thoughtful, well-informed
men who have dedicated themselves to
the job of restoring a balance between
man and nature, between agriculture
and industry and between mans work
and his needs. They hope that by wise
planning a way may be found to pre-
vent the mutually dependent from
strangling each other. Retirement of
improbable agricultural lands and
their use for the restoration of game
for the sportsman and wild life for the
nature lover constitute only one branch
OF a studied plan to help balance the
human equation.
- surplus Of everything that the land
produces, with the one exception of
wild life, it seems logical to expect that
game may be allowed to take its place
in the new planned economy of things.
The President, through the Secretary
Of Agriculture some weeks ago appointed
a committee of three to study this ques-
ton. That committee, after careful
consideration, arrived at some definite
conclusions that should be helpful If
its recommendation are not lost in
the conflicting plans Of unco- -ordinated
bureaus.
Some Of those conclusions, as set
forth in their report to the President
and Secretary Of Agriculture, read as

fowl. There Is need for prompt and
decisive action"
And as to the upland game, the re-
port said, in part: "Our supply of native
upland game birds, once the finest in
the world has been reduced to a rem
nant Of its former abundance on large
areas in the United States. Ex-
tenSive restoration of wild turkey,
grouse, quail and all other upland
game, including fur bearing animals,
will provide profitable utilization for
millions Of acres of rural land which
is improbable for farming and stock
raising and much of which is ideally
suited to the production of game crops.
The destruction of our abundant
wild life resources through waste and
neglect constitutes one of the SorrieSt
chapters in our national history.
"The knowledge, the facilities and the
funds necessary for restoration are
available If we put them to work.
Extensive restoration of one wild life
incalculable value which will add i'm
meaSurably to the health, happiness and
prosperity of the people of the United
States"
THE Presidents Committee on Wild
Life Restoration in its recommended
tions included an extensive program for
song, insectivorous and ornamental
birds of non-game species which are
approaching extinction, believing that
their spiritual and recreational values
were equal to the more tangible eco
nomic profits of the game species. Big
game, including bear, elk prong horned
antelope and deer, are to have their
quota of native range when and If the
committees report is carried out. But
books will have to be balanced by
counting the economic returns from the
f1ocks of migratory waterfowl and up
man is willing and anxious to pay. At
the present time the supply of game
falls so far below the demand that the
sportsman Is roughly estimated to pay
an average of $34 for every game bird
that he shoots. Here, then, is margin
of profit which would make even an air
mail contract look like piker.
Question. How to collect that margin
of profit and apply it on the production
of more game?
Answer. Give nature a chance
@. E. D.
If there is a margin of profit In the
price the sportsman is willing to pay
for the privilege of hunting, obviously
there is visible means of supporting
at least fair percentage of the for
mer inhabitants of retired farm lands.
The subsistence farm home principle
has been theoretically applied to pro-
vide maintenance personnel and Gus
todianship for the game areas. Tech
nical supervision of the cuStodianS
would be provided by district game su-
perintendents. The economic benefits
can be shown to more than balance the
cost of maintenance.
Roughly estimated, the contemplated
work of dam building and restoration Of
the nesting areas for migratory water
fowl would furnish employment for
100 900 men-a figure which must adjust
itself to employment conditions and
available relief funds
Permanent employment is calculated
to run approximately two men to every
1000 acres put under game manage
ment, and would pay for itself.
Many "ifs" stand in the way Of
complete realization of the national
program for restoration of wild life,
but If sub marginal lands are to be re-
tired from agriculture the plan is fun
