The plan has grown out of the
apparent necessity for additional
restocking of game in the area.
Under the proposed system, those
who foot the bill for local restock-
ing would enjoy its fruits.
Under the plan, spertsmen and
farmers would cooperate to pro-
vide improved hunting for those
willing to help pay for the priv
iIege and willing to safeguard the
farm properties.
Cummins said that the plan
cannot hope to succeed unless
there are enough local hunters
interested, and only if enough
area farmers are willing to co..
operate to provide 800 to 400
acres of land for this purpose.
