The setting aside of lands where wild life is protected always has the same effect; that is, the immediate increase in wild life. But the effect is much more far^ reaching than might be imagined. There are huge tracts of wild country in Pennsylvania, in Virginia, in Mary land, and in the Carolinas, which ten years ago were practically dead so far as game birds and animals were concerned. Now they are alive again. Such tracts of waste land provide a wonderful home for wild life.
