Fellow Sportsmen: 
GAS RATIONING HELPS INCREASE WILDLIFE 
Good roads and plenty of gas once placed a hunter in 
every clump of grass on a duck marsh, and put hordes 
of fishermen on every lake and stream. For a while now, 
fish and game will not have so many armchair sportsmen 
to contend with. The hardy disciples of Ike Walton, Dan- 
iel Boone and Teddy Roosevelt will still find ways to get 
to their beloved out-of-doors, and they will find more 
fish and game there 
BEFORE THE DAY OF THE AUTO my father trav- 
eled far and wide, hunting, fishing, trapping, canoeing, 
camping out and enjoying Nature. This changed him 
like Theodore Roosevelt, from a sickly young man, to a 
healthy old man, who ‘lived strong and active to past 83 
years. Several times he made the trip from Wisconsin to 
New Orleans, Louisiana, in a rowboat. He spent winters 
on Chesapeake Bay, and along the Tennessee River in 
Alabama 
In 1894, his first son, Clyde, was born at the Terrell 
farmstead. I am told he was so proud of the baby that 
he lost much of his wanderlust, stayed home, bought a 
piece of worthless (7?) marsh near home, and planted 
there Wild Celery brought from Cheapeake Bay, and many 
other fish and game foods. He soon developed Terrell’s 
Island, as he named it, into just such a place as the 
artist has tried to illustrate in the picture above. 
As baby Clyde grew up, he spent most of his spare time 
in the wonderland dad had created for wildlife. Grad- 
ually he began furnishing and planting game food seeds 
for others. 
We didn’t have autos then. We would walk, or ride a 
bicycle to the lake, and then paddle to this marshy island 
teeming with ducks, fish, muskrats and alll sorts of marsh 
and water life. Occasionally dad would hitch his high- 
stepping team of driving horses to a Democrat wagon 
(ever hear of one?), throw in his camping outfit, and 
away with his pals he would go, 35, 100, or even 200 
miles, to some interesting woods or lake teeming with 
deer, duck, bear or partridge. That time, he figured, was 
never lost -- he just lived that much longer. If he had 
lived most of the time in an office, or factory, like many

Success 
ef you fellows do today, “Bi-gorry’’ (his favorite expres- 
sion), he would have died at 33 instead of 83, and Clyde 
wouldn’t even have been born to write this. 
FOOD IS THE SECRET ! 
The principles dad and I followed, and which I rec- 
ommend to you, were ably stated by Charles Lathrop 
Pack, in “Outdoor America’’ -- “Of all the factors 
governing the abundance of game in any country, the

most important is the amount of available food. Given 
proper bag limits, hunting seasons and breeding condi- 
tions, game will increase as far as the available food sup- 
ply will allow - and no more.’’ 
PERSONAL HELP WITH PLANTINGS 
Every year, I make trips to help others develop their 
places for ducks, fish and wildlife. It may be to the 
wilds of Quebec, New England or the Carolina Coast. 
This past year I made three such trips to the Pacific 
Coast. This wide experience goes a long way in planning 
successful plantings. Surveys are made and plantings 
supervised where desired. If interested in such service, 
write me. 
PLANTS FOR ALL CONDITIONS 
To fill requirements for suitable plants that will be suc- 
cessful in various localities, we furnish both northern and 
Sratpern-RFOwn plants, also salt as well as fresh-water 
plants. 
PLANT THIS SPRING 
Some of the best food 
and cover plants for 
spring planting, to at- 
tract ducks, fish and 
other wildlife, and con- 
ditions under which they 
grow, are described on
