5. Other items, A rather typical distribution of the unexpended 

 "balance is as follows: One-sixth to the township school, one-sixth to the 

 township church, and four-sixths prorated to the landowners on an acreage 

 "basis. The landowners usually feel sufficiently compensated if their pay- 

 ments cover damage to fences and crops "by hunters and corn consumption "by 

 pheasants. 



That this controlled-hunting system works is shown "by the following: 



1. Because of the elev.en important advantages outlined under the 

 a"bove heading on the su"bject. .■ 



2. Because the plan produces more pheasants, results in an orderly 

 harvest, protects property rights, causes the landowner to want more game — 

 not less — and results in ideal farmer-sportsmen relationships. 



3. Because the plan recognizes the landowner's individual pride in 

 his land and what it produces and appeals to his ego, as he likes to have 

 his farm attractive to pheasants and to har"bor more "birds than that of his 

 neighbor, . . 



4. Because the plan is developed and maintained as a local project 

 with local initiative and local talcsnt doing the .wor'K: — hence local pride 

 and local interest in the results. 



5. Because of the Ohio pheasant refuge -management system, which 

 provides the key to high-production yields. 



6. Because of the application of scientific management- practices, 

 both in the production and in the harvest of the crop. This information 

 has been supplied in a subtle way, not forced on the township residents. 



7. Most valuable of all has been the contribution of hard-working 

 county gajne protectors vdth sufficient ability to recognize weaknesses -and 

 with sufficient tact to correct them-, and yet doing nothing to detract from 

 the community nature of the project.
