State Offers Free Game Food Seeds Raleigh More than 4,000 ten pound bags of wildlife food seeds arc available to landowners who wish to improve their landi for rabbits, quail, and lurkeysTTt 1BT announced today in Raleigh. Bob Hazel, farm game specialist with the North Carolina Wildlife Re sources Commission, stated that the bags of annual seeds would be sent to landowners without charge as long as the supply lasts. For most of the state the mix ture consists of 2 pounds of com bine milo, 2 pounds of millet, 2 pounds of cow peas, 2 '-a pounds of soybeans, and lVj pounds of an nual lespedeza. For the mountain counties, half the bag consists of the above mixture and the other half is buckwheat, with a quarter pound of sunflower seed added. The mixture has been developed by farm game experts to provide a quick means of establishing food patches for wildlife. The Wildlife Commission's long range program for habitat improvement is based on the planting of peren nial plants such as shrub lespedeza and multiflora rose. Present planting stocks of these perennials do not bear until the second year, although new strains are being developed that will bear seed the first year, Mr. Hazel said. He stated that the annual seed mixture would provide excellent food for part of the winter months of the first year while the peren nials are reaching maturity. Hazel pointed out that the an nual seed mixture will plant two eighth-acre plots. He said that it would be more desirable for the game to plant two small patches rather than one large one. The patches should be located near good cover, and will require one bag of 6-8-6 or 4-6-4 fertilizer. Applications for the free bags of seed mixture can be obtained from the district wildlife biolo gists, county agents, Soli Conser vation Service agents, and from the county wildlife protectors. Planting instructions come with the bags of seed. March 1 is the deadline for ap plications for shrub leapedeza, be said. The entire crop of multiflora rose seedlings, totaling almost a million plants, has been applied for, but there are approximately five-itallllon shrub lespedeza seed lings still available. Well over a million lespedeza plants have al ready ben distributed this winter from the Commission's wildlife foods nursery at Chapel Hill. V Jan. 0 - -The Rev. Walter E.
