4. Each Un4ve*sity Voceiig'n     fellowship is to organizo a. A4,-

Board to Id;l     '__1t&Voqt:% demonstration and interprot 
its results to the public. 
 
          5. Before any fellowship is finally a7mwrded or paid, L' com- 
plete plan for the establishment and operation of the demonstration in 
that state is to be mtuually agreed upon and approved by the Institute. 
 
 
               NATURE OF THE 'WORK-ON fAONSTRAT ION AREAS 
 
        (Note: This is not -a final plan, but merely il~ustrat.vo 
        of the kind of work contemplated. See attached diagram) 
 
          Any actual research must, of course, be precoded by the selee-

tion, lpasing, and mapping oft the demonstration area. The area should 
be located near enouii to the University to enable the student to attend

classes Card to got advisors to the ground. The total ac'eage may vary 
from two to eight sections (largo enough to prevent masking of the con- 
trols by boundary dilution). Half of this will be a control plot and 
needs no lease. On the other half, the Univorsity is to lease: 
 
          1. The privilege of fencing, planting, or oth rwise restoring 
coverts up to a fixed percentage of the                 I .. ..... 
 
          2. The exclusive control Of the gSme and wild life, and; 
 
          3. The privilege of regulatin, the farmer's clearings, cut- 
tings, burning, etc. 
 
          The demonstration area and the control plot need not be contig-

uous. 
 
          The work will start with a cnroful census of the quail and other

wild life, and this census will be repeated at least amnually to ascertain

the effects of the various controls to be tried out. 
 
          The environmental controls which will be tried out (not neces-

sarily all of them on each demonstration area) will include: 
 
      A. %Qstqration of Cove,;ts, The goneral idea will be to get opti- 
          mum production with a small quantity of coverts by improving 
          their quality and location; or, in other words, to determine 
          the extent to which coverts can be supplied without sacrifice 
          of valuable ploughland. For instance: 
 
                1. What is the value of conifers for winter and spring 
                    cover when ordinary brush and timber are leafless 
                    and the grass is matted down? 
                    That coniferous species is best for rapid growth, 
                    persistence of lower limbs, stock-resistance, 
                    ability to compete with weeds aneL brush?
