its mstract form may never oarry, because most people are incapable of 
being convinced of any truth in abstract form. If it cm be demonstrated 
that the one-gallus man actually burns more gasoline in the search for 
freee shooting than would be required to pay his fee on a nearby group of 
tee farms, then the new idea of game management would gain some head- 
way in the public mind, The one-gallus hunter now thinks nothing of 
driving 50 miles for a day of poor shooting. Counting deterioration on his 
car this cost him 8¢ per mile or $4.00 each way, total $8.00, If he drove 
10 miles instead it wuld clost him $1.60. The difference of $6.40 would 
buy shooting rights on a pe of 15 quail at 50¢ per head, which is the 
going price in the South where land leases for 15¢ per acre and yields 
a quail per 5 acres. 
Moreover, the actual organization of game management on groups of 
farms is the only possible way of applying the public shooting grounds idea 
to upland game. If the public can lease such lands for the use of the 
public it must deal with groups and it must deal through a representative 
of the group. In other words the training of neighborhood leaders is the 
logical key to the development of upland public shooting grounds as well as 
to the development of upland clubs or toll grounds, 
To sean ire It is prorposed that some agricultural college, equipped 
with an Institute Fellowship and its own special facilities for research 
and extension work, offer special training and techni@l service to selected 
fermers with a vwew to their acting as neighborhood leaders in the 
9 initiation of game management of farms. 
It is believed that such action promises to be an effective way 
of meeting the present lack of initiative on the part of both sportsmen and 
farmers in solving the land problem, and in making the present wide-spread
