Présentation de l'éditeur
Several months ago, there was an editorial in The American Field to the effect that a large amount of sportsmen smoney had been squandered in establishing game farms which proved to be total failures, not that game birds cannot be raised in a semi-domestic manner, but because our form of government brings about such radical administrative changes every few years that no one knows the tenure of his office, and appointments are made, not with regard to experience and ability to raise game birds, but to pay off political debts, and of all the departments in a state, the game and fish departments seem to be favored places to unload political obligations. The reason the State Game Farm in Oregon has been a success is because of Mr. Simpson. There are very few men in the United States today who are really successful in raising game birds. It takes long and patient study. It takes a man who loves the work. Many a person may succeed in raising two or three broods of pheasants, but it is rare to find one who.can successfully raise several thousand birds each season, as Mr. Simpson is doing. He knows the business. He lives with his birds. His heart is in the work. William L. Finley.
