That joint advice was issued to Tar Heel hunters by Jim Gra ham, Commissioner of Agricul ture and Clyde Patton Executive Director of the Wildlife Resour ces Commission. Graham and Patton said hun ters are finding it harder each year to find private farm lands where farmers will allow hunt ing, and the fault lies with the hunter, not the farmers. "During the hunting seasons!,' they said, 'hunters all too often leave the fields littered with empty shotgun shell boxes and empty cartridges, not to men tion drink cans and bottles, milk cartons and other litter that is both unsightly and some times dangerous. "Empty shotgun cartridges contain a chemical that live stock, especially cattle, like to eat, and this makes, the ani mals sick and may even kill them. " Graham and Patton added that farmers take a dim view of broken fences, gates left •ml r- cahwht plan mo. riu *l' ""'i fci'J; Lu „ •cow* pHr 3-BEDROOM HOUSE ' 0 , J_» LI L. a ""f |f " U '!

North Carolina has 2,000,000 acres of public hunting lands, but these are mostly forested areas, and with half a million hunters taking to the fields and woods each year, this figures only four acres per hunter and 8596 of all game is produced on privately-owned agricultural land. The agriculture and wildlife ■ leaders said that many farmers are willing to allow hunting on their land, provided hunters first ask-for permission and than conduct themselves as guests of the farmer. Sharing the game with the farmer is a nice ges - ture, and sending his wife a box of candy after the hunt is likely to bring about an invita tion for a return hunt. Farmers do not own the game on their land until it has been reduced lawfully to pos session, but they have the sole say-so as to who will hunt on their land.
