' (Continued from page 8) able controversy regarding the "value of annual introductions of farm-raised birds. In recent years game management orgianizaitons ' everywhere have been giving cri- tical appraisals of the practice. The results of many studies ; suggest very strongly that artifi- ‘ cial stockings are costly, unecon- omical, and contribute relatively little. toward improving pheasant - abundance or pheasant hunting. This impression has certainly , characterized the results of 6 con- ‘ secutive years of handing studies maintained‘ by the Game Com- mission. In the six years from 1949 to 1954 the B.C. Government pur- chased 95.902 pheasants at a cost of Sil91.915.25. It recovered $69,- ‘ 769.70 from the sale of pheasant tags. The loss was $122,147.25. Never more than 30 per cent of the cock birds released in any i one year were ever recovered yet i compared with the recovery in i some other areas of the United I States and Canada this was good _ but, it brought the value of a re- (leased cock pheasant from $2.25 _ at stocking $7.53 when harvested. Nor is this improved by recovery of birds in subsequent years as apparently few survive after the first year.

With the current difficulties of producing a good-quality bird and itlie increasing difficulties impos- ;ed by gradual urbanization of suitable ‘pheasant range, the

stocking program while attending Wildlife Conference in Ottawa and Montreal. They went after it big releasing as many as fifteen thousand in a single planting. The great bulk of re-stocked pheasants were cocks as they only were le- gail game.

One member in particular in- terested me greatly as he had a lot to do with the pheasant pro- gram. One experiment they tried set everyone thinking. In 1951 or 52 five thousand fully matured cock pheasants were released in the Chiliwack Valley a month be- fore the pheasant season opened. A section of the Valley approx- imately 10 miles long was select- ed for the experiment. It was al- ready populated with wild pheas- ants acessable to hunters from Vancouver but the main attrac- tion was that it was a natural for setting up road blocks for game bag checks. Thousands of pheas- ant tags were sold and literally thousands of hunters ﬂocked to the spot on opening morning.

For days a game back ,check was kept and the birds tabulated as to whether they were re-stock- ed or wild pheasants. The year of release was stamped on the bands The game officers and Commiss- ion officials were due for a shock. True 30 per cent of the banded cocks were acounted for, or 1500 of the released pheasants, were bag-ged. But. . . .for every five re- stocked plieasa-n-tis found in hun- ters game bags there were 95 wild pheasants. Another shock only five of the remaining three thousand five hundred released birds were found in hunters game bags in the next two years. That means that 3,495 pheasants vanished into thin air from this 5,000 «release. There was just one conclusion to reach. . . .tlie ‘ vast majority of the planting failed to survive the first few weeks. This experiment really: set the Game Commission thinking and think- ing hard.

The overall returns from releas- ed pheasants over the six period averaged 20' per cent. The Chili- wack Valley planting was a re- cord. In comparison with some States _to the south of us this

plantings, particularly along the eastern seaboard, fall below the

5 per cent mark. Provinces in middle and eastern Canada have also fallen close to zero. The point I wish to bring home is: When the Government of British Columbia releases 15,983 pheasants. . . .al- most 16,000 per year over a six

the fall of 1953 that Earl return- ed_ from Roosevelt Raceway, bmnglng back a young trotited named Dean Gallon. He had been sold, with others. in a dispersal sale there, and Earl, who had taken a fancy to him, was the high bidder and brought him back with him.

_ His career in 1954 was except- ional. as in ten starts he won all of them, and many will recall the free-for-all trot during Old

Home Week on August 14, which

Dean Gallon won in three straight heats. Nell Kalmuck 2-2- 2, Cobblestone 3-4-6, Mary Merk 4-3-7, and four others starters. Time 2.12, 2.09 4/5 and 2.10 2/5. AGAINST TIME

After the races he was given a short letup, and then was sent against the “watch” and to the surprise of those who were pre- sent he trotted in 2.04 3/5 at the Charlottetown track. Two very reliable horsemen caught the mile and there is no doubt that it was a genuine penformance.

Earl then shipped him to the state of Maine and won all his races there. The news of his extraordinary mile at .Charlotte- town filtered through the Mari- times. and R. J. Logue of Syd- ney wrote to Sanders Russell in Alabama to come up and look him over for soundness.

Dean Gallon was harnessed and hooked up, and Russell sat behind him as Earl brushed him over the roads around Kensing- ton. Russell advised Logu_e to buy him, and he met Earl’s price of $20,000.

He was taken away by Sanders Russell and given a short pre- paration at his track in Alabama and then moved on with other members of the stable to Roose- velt Raceway, which opened in early April. On April 11, he won

Len O’Meara, whose stable is racing at Rockingham Park, New Hampshire, hasn’t had much success with Section Man 3, 2.03 3/5. Probably Len and the owner haven’t expected to do too much there, the reason being that Section Man is a very big horse that takes tremendous strides, and he wasn't expectedi to be a great threat in the ‘fast classes on a half-mile oval.
