terested, putting on winter feeding cam-<br />
paigns to carry them through their most try-<br />
ing period. The wild turkey was on its way<br />
hack.<br />
Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania game com-<br />
mission had taken an interest in restoring<br />
the wild turkey as a game bird. In the<br />
early days of its attempt to bring hack this<br />
highly-prized quarry, it was compelled to<br />
purchase stock from private game farms.<br />
Probably more of a domestic turkey than a<br />
truly wild bird. those introduced almost<br />
immediately headed for the nearest barnyard<br />
where their kind led an easygoing and well-<br />

Discouraged with its initial attempt, but<br />

a hen refused to heed the calling, curiosity<br />

That gave Orrie ihe idea of establishing<br />
propagating areas in the state game refuges,<br />

and leave at will.<br />
The idea paid off and, by selective breed-<br />
ing, the domestic blood was gradually re-<br />
laced with that of a wild strain. The first<br />
settings were gathered and hatched in in-<br />
cubators. The next clutch was left for the<br />
lien to brood. Eventually a bird developed<br />
