Dear Professor
Your work in game refuge planning is somewhat familiar
to me, and I am taking the liberty of writing you for
information.
I am acquiring one hundred and six acres of Waukesha
County land. This land is an old farm which has not
been farmed for a number of years, and is covered with
the natural growth that would take place where soils
were not tilled. The character of the soil is light and
sandy which is common to all of the KettleiYgoraine soils.
There are some highlands on this piece of land, and con-
siderable lowland through which a sizable stream flows
year around, never freezing, and is ideally situated for
a game cover.
I do not propose to plow or cultivate this land for
farm purposes. There are numerous Ring Neck Pheasants
on this ground now, and I do plan to plow and plant
certain sections of the low land with some type of feed
cover which will do well, not cutting it.
The people in that country tell me that sweet clover,
which does make an excellent cover, thrives well in that
soil, and that rye also does well.  Can you tell me the
value of the seeds of sweet clover as a feed for wild
life? Can you also advise me the types of shrubs and
berry-producing bushes which could be planted along the
fence lines, and which would serve the purpose desired?
I had planned to sow the large Russian Sun Flower around
the entire outline of the farm thinkinT that they might
-row well, and that the seeds forming high would do well
for a winter of deep snow.
