Commercial Pheasant Farms year ending March 31. 1961 



The year ending March 31 f 1961 completed the fifth year 

 of operations for Commercial Pheasant Parms in the Province of 

 Ontario. The number of licenced farms has steadily increased 

 since the regulations were originally promulgated from 30 farms 

 in 1956 to 155 in I960. 



Sales of eggs, chicks and poults and adult birds were 

 made to operators of Pheasant Hunting Preserves and to individuals 

 who are issued free licences (Form G.203) to propagate pheassuits 

 as a hobby. It is interesting to note that, in the case of the 

 latter, 226 licences were issued in the callander year ending 

 December 30, I960. Some of these hobbyists are potential comme3>- 

 cial operators but are not allowed to sell eggs or live birds under 

 the free licence.
