C.—More than 4.000 ten-pound bays of wildlife food seeds are available to land owners who wish to improve their lands for rabbits, quail, and tur keys. it was announced today in Raleiyh. Rob Hazel, farm yame specialist with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, stated that the bays of annual seeds would be sent to landown ers without charge as long as the supply lasts. For most of the State the mixture consist of 2 pounds of combine milo, 2 pounds of millet. 2 pounds of cow peas, 2 1-2 pounds of soybeans, and 1 1-2 pounds of annual lespedeza. For the mountain counties, half the bay consists of the above mix ture and the other half is buck wheat. with a ouarter-pound of sunflower seed added. The mixture has been (level oned by farm frame experts to pro vide a quick means of establish ing food patches for wildlife. The Wildlife Commission’s lone: range program for habitat, im provement, is based on the plant ing of perennial plants such as shrub lespedeza and multiflora rose. . Present planting stocks of these perennials dc not bear until the second year, although new strains are being deviceoed that, will bear seed the rst year, Hazel said. He stated t.htn the annua! seed mixture would provide ex cellent food for part of the win ter months of the first year while the perennials are reaching ma turity. Hazel pointed out that the an nual seed mixture will plant two eighth-aere 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 hag of fi-X-fi or 4-6-4 fertilizer. Applications for the free bap* of seed mixture can be _ obtianed from the district wildlife biolo gists, county agents. Soil Conser vation Service agents, and from the county wildlife protectors. Planting instructions come with the hags of seed. March 1 is the deadline for applications for shrub lespedeza, ho said. The entire crop of mul tiflora rose seedlings, totaling al most a million plants, has been applied for, but there are approx imately five-million shrub lespe deza seedlings still available. Well over a million lespedeza plants have .already been distributed this winter from the Commission’s ■"Midlife foods nursery at Chapel Hill. S. A. Barnes In Veterans Hospital Mr. S. A.
