The Pennsylvania system is out standing among thOM of the coun try. and a number of states have adopted many of the features in vogue there. North Carolina's new statute being one of these. "We were impressed," declared Director Phillips, "with the popu larity, success, and economy of the operation of the Pennsylvania game law. i "The success In that state dem onstrates what may be done to ward developing this natural re source in North Carolina, where our natural advantages are much greater. Most of the game in Pennsylvania Is grouped In a few counties, while virtually all parts of North Carolina are well suited for this purpose. I "In some sections of Pennsyl vania. we were told, game Increase ! so rapidly In some years that re strictions are raised temporarily to allow thinning out in order to ! prevent depredations to crops. One of the oustanding features of the ; laws affecting natural resources In that state is the amount ot author it v given to the governor and com missioner charged with their en ! forcement."
