Interviews with the Farm Game Cooperators in Game Conservation Districts II, V and VI disclosed that individual landowners were interested in improving habitats for farm game species. In order of preference of wildlife planting materials cooperators chose annual seeds, <u>L. bicolor</u> seeds, <u>L. bicolor</u> plants and <u>L. sericea</u>. (Pp.25-35) The data on cultural practices indicate that the Farm Game Program cooperators need to follow instructions of the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries for planting, fertilizing and cultivating wildlife materials in order to receive maximum benefits from the objectives of the Farm Game Program. (pp. 38-52) Cooperators considered the wildlife plantings of intrinsic value in that they were using the plantings for erosion control, food and cover for wildlife, field-woods borders and turn rows for farm machinery. (Pp. 55-56) It was observed that farm game species were utilizing wildlife food plantings established in 1950-51. The perennial plantings were immature yet in many instances they attracted quail, rabbits, turkey and deer. The data on food availability as determined by ground quadrant samples taken from wildlife food plantings on the three specific areas indicate that adequate food is be:ing produced on one-eighth acre plots, which have been maintained according to recommended cultural practices. A hundred percent increase was noted in quail populations on the Hawfield Game Demonstration Area during 1950. (Pp. 70-75) / Master of Science

For a number of years wildlife workers have realized the importance of the past histories of introduced species. Emphasis in recent years has been directed toward introductions because of the tremendous hunting and fishing pressures. Yearly increases in numbers of hunters and fishermen have been noted in Utah for the past forty years. It is hoped that this compilationo f the histories of the introduced game and fish species of Utah will be of value to sportsmen and wildlife managers alike in planning future introductions. The material included in this paper was obtained from United States Government reports, Utah Territorial reports, Utah State reports, newspapers and periodicals, personal interviews, and wardens' questionaires

AbstractA study of 187 bobwhite, taken from the Salamonie Reservoir and surrounding farmlands in Northern Indiana during November through May, revealed the presence of three species of nematodes:Dispharynx spiralis, Heterakis gallinae, and Subulura,sp. The bobwhite collected showed 37 per cent infestation. The highest rate of incidence was with the Dispharynx spiralis, while Heterakis gallinae was the second most abundant species with 7 per cent infestation. The Subulura species is not identical to any Subulura species reported from bobwhite. Therefore, it is believed that this is the first report of this species from bobwhite.Results regarding food, age, and location revealed little correlation to parasitism in this study.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306
