UPLAND GAME BIRDS AND THEIR FAVORITE FOODS 
For many years we have labored under the impres- 
sion that in our time and here at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, 
that the idea of planting natural game foods was 
our origination. We are now informed by one of our 
customers that ours is only a revision of an idea, 
which he states according to Marco Polo’s travels, 
was carried on many years ago by an Egyptian Ruler 
on his favorite hunting ground. 
The baiting of wild game was a common practice 
among our forefathers. They well knew that the 
principle fundamental that concerned all wild crea- 
tures was to obtain food. After all, is not that the 
principle concern of all living creatures? Therefore, 
to provide an easy means of obtaining this wild 
game for their own food, the pioneers coaxed game 
with food that these wild creatures were fond of. 
Today it is not only illegal, but unsportsmanlike to 
bait game. However, it is legal, sportsmanlike and 
highly considered an act of conservation to grow 
natural foods for all kinds of game. Natural food 
plants not only provide for the game during the 
shooting season, but prior to and after the season

as well. These natural foods also make natural cover 
or hiding places where the wild game may escape 
their natural enemies as well as rear their young. 
The three fundamentals which concern wild life 
are: first, to find food; second, protection from their 
enemies; and third to reproduce. Provide the first 
two and they alone will reproduce abundantly.
