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 />
