main on an area, without food
it cannot live. 1T is only by
providing permanent cover and
dependable all-season food and
water supplies that wildlife pop
ulations can be maintained or
increased" he adds.
Special hints are directed to
farmers who wish to increase
the supply of wildlife on their
farms either for personal inter-
est or for the sake of revenue
from the sale of hunting privil-
eyes.
Year Round Supply
Necessary
McAtee indicates that a year.
round supply of adequate food
and cover is necessary if wild
life is to be permanently attrac-
ted to the area.
Ito be adequate, an environ
ment must provide wildlife IA
cilities the year round, not only
for adult animals but in season
also for the young, which often
have quite different require
ments," he declares.
Desirable cover and food
plants are listed for each sec
ton of the country. In addition
McAtee lists good crop plants
that can be used for Wildlife
feed patches in each state, and
comments on the value of wild
life Of plants often classed as
weeds.
