   Mr. Aldo Leopold, 
   421 Chemistry Building, 
   University of Wisconsin, 
   Madison, Wis. 
 
   My dear Leopold - 
 
                 In reply to yours of September 12th concerning report 
   sent on by Earl Fry some years ago on the Ahtanum Valley Productive 
   League at Yakima, Washington, our files show that Earl Fry made out 
   a Sportsmen Association Report on this organization on the 18th of 
   October, 1927.   I am afraid that the data given is too meager to be 
   of use, but is quoted herewith - 
 
                 President - 0. 0. MoCau, Route 5, Yakima, Wash. 
                 Secretary -  M. Woodcock, Route 4, Yakima, Wash. 
                 No. of Members - 250 
                 Annual Fees -       500 
                 The Association has no club rooms. 
                 Interested in hunting and in game propagation. 
                 "They use membership dues and shooting fees for 
                    purchasing new birds.N 
                "The organization is composed of farmers who keep 
                    their places posted against trespassing.   They 
                    charge one dollar for the privilege of hunting 
                    birds on any of the members' places." 
 
                 You can see this would not be of any particular use. 
 
                 I am sending a copy of this letter to Fry to remind 
   him that if this organization is actually putting into effect some 
   elements of a farmer-sportsman relation plan, probably similar to 
   the Williamston Plan, he should check up on their results and let 
   us have this as a separate report. 
 
 
                                    Most sincerely yours, 
 
                                              L. W. T. Waller, Jr. 
   LWTW/o                                   Director of Conservation.
