ILD BIRDS NEED NOT FEAR THE SNOW ol Expedition Takes Over 00,000 Acres of Feeding Land lew Orleans, July 31.—Reinforced " by a staff of seven wardens in his 2‘&,* n employ, by the moral support of i the state of Louisiana, to which he ly recently conveyed the Rockefel- Sage and Rainey-MclIlhenny game rves, and by good sportsmen everywhere, 6y is now undertaking a new stew- § ardship in the interest of wild game fotection. Already an informal ad- iser and overseer for the state in “eonnection with more than 500 square miles of territory, Mr. Mcllhenny has aken control of some 100,000 acres & of land in the heart of the Gulf coast . game regions. i’ . Mr. Mcllhenny has for some time i L owned 78,000 acres of ground, and L. only a few days ago obtained 22,000 acres more in the wild fowl feeding ‘ounds. ‘grounds except the territory in the game preserves, Mr. McIlhenny, aft- ‘er several months required to clear up title to all the ground in question, has Jjust announced his purchase, The significance of Mr. Mcllhenny's ‘announcement is in the fact that with s acquisition of the ground the mil- Mons of duck, geese and other game | } birds which come from the north to feed herc in winter are assured of i permanent feeding grounds and per- manent protection against unserupul- ous hunters and commercial exploita- tion. Already Mr, Mcllhenny is being ‘eongratulated by sportsmen for his farsighted program. Mr. McIlhenny has announced no plans with regard to the tract he has " acquired other than to say that game will be protected and safeguarded, © With this 100,000 acres in hands friendly to wild life, game will be safeguarded in all the territory from the mouth of the Mississippi to Texas, . Beventy-five miles of coast line along the gulf will be protected, and the total area inland is approximately 700 square miles. cludes the Rockefellor Foundation, of I 88,000 acres; the Rainey-McIlhenny o and Loufslana State Wild Life Ref- | ugees of 62,000 acres; the Sage Foun- dation, of 78,000 acres, and the prop- erty now controlled by Mr. McIlhenny. The Gulf of Mexico is the south line, and the White Lake and the lLouisiana rice flelds form the northern hound- ary. Needless to say this territory is | & paradise for birds coming from as far north as the Arctic circle to feed for the winter—as well as for hun- ers, if they could get into the grounds | and run wild, ¢ Sportsmen generally are familiar ‘with Mr. MeIllhenny's work in the di- i rection of game conservation. Begin- " ning several years ago he devoted much time and money to acquiring ground for the game preserves, Be- #ides giving land of his own, he ob- tained grants from others. He now has on his own territory a squad of seven wardens who patrol. the district "and see that the laws are obeyed. They are safeguarding not only the Edward Avery Mcllhen- | This land constitutes prac- | tically all that is left of the feeding | This territory in-| game bird feeding grounds, but the haunts of the innumerable deer and bear, to say nothing of the otter, mink, muskrats, squirrels, rabbits and other small game. Like most of the ground in this reglon, Mr. MclIlhenny's 100,000 acre traét is of extremely fertile soil and suited to many profitable crops. But he is developing it not with agricul- | ture in mind, Instead he is organiz- ing an interlacing system of canals, ponds and lakes, Many of these have been and all will be, sown with such game bird delicacles as banana water Iilfes, wild celery, coontalls, etc., to! attract the fowl, “The reason why the wonderful game supply of 40 years ago has dis- |appeared,” sald Mr, Mcllhenny, "lfl[ that the great states such as Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, across the | [ heart of the continent, have been cul-| tivated to the point where migratory | birds can find no place to alight and feed. I1f we do not develop a win- ter home for these great flocks in | | Louisiana, they will pass from Canada and the Arctie, onto South America, | INTER-PLAYGROUND MEET | | Second Annual Feld Day of Young-| | sters to Be Held at Walnut Hill Park Tomorrow Afternoon. | The second annual inter-playground | athletic meet and fleld day will be held tomorrow afternoon at Walnut | Hill park, commencing at 2 o'clock |and promises to be one of the biggest | events of its kind ever to be held in this eity.
