Interviews with the Farm Game Cooperators in Game Conservation
Districts II, V and VI disclosed that individual landowners
were interested in improving habitats for farm game species. In order
of preference of wildlife planting materials cooperators chose annual
seeds, L. bicolor seeds, L. bicolor plants and L. sericea. (Pp.25-35)
The data on cultural practices indicate that the Farm Game
Program cooperators need to follow instructions of the Virginia Commission
of Game and Inland Fisheries for planting, fertilizing and cultivating
wildlife materials in order to receive maximum benefits from
the objectives of the Farm Game Program. (pp. 38-52)
Cooperators considered the wildlife plantings of intrinsic
value in that they were using the plantings for erosion control, food
and cover for wildlife, field-woods borders and turn rows for farm
machinery. (Pp. 55-56)
It was observed that farm game species were utilizing wildlife
food plantings established in 1950-51. The perennial plantings
were immature yet in many instances they attracted quail, rabbits,
turkey and deer.
The data on food availability as determined by ground quadrat samples taken from wildlife food plantings on the three specific areas indicate that adequate food is be:ing produced on one-eighth acre plots,
which have been maintained according to recommended cultural practices.
A hundred percent increase was noted in quail populations on the
Hawfield Game Demonstration Area during 1950. (Pp. 70-75)
