Dear Titrney 
 
      I am glad to hear from you and to ]mow that you have nt for- 
gotten the opportunity which oonfvots nsmen in pushing the 
matter of ga   cover and food plantins. 
 
      I thi.n this field holds out very great possibilities both 
for nursrymen and game   n but it is not so simple as merely 
making a list of the neded stock and offerig It to   stomrs, I 
think that nrserymeni will have to "service" the customr. which

means that they will have to acuire a wrldng    wlege of game 
managment no that their customers will not only be urgd to mak 
desirable pl.antings, bat urged. not to make foolis ones. 
 
      I do not recoll.et ju~st how muc of a student of gae you 
have been. in case you want to brash up on~ the subject. especiall.y 
in its relation to plantis, I would        e   th followainr
