Pheasant Planting
Sites Under Survey
In line with the game commis
sion's program for the scientific dis
tribution of Chinese pheasants that
will be raised at its four game farms
during 1940, surveys of the available
pheasant area are already under
way. Planting sites will be chosen
in advance of liberation, the selec
tion being based upon suitable food,
cover and water conditions, the ex
isting bird population and stress of

hunting. In conjunction with thia
a check is also being made insofar
as possible of the results of plant
ings made the past season.
