RESEARCH ON WILDLIFE PROBLEMS AND GAME MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS IN COOPERATION WITH UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE (40) T h e Bureau of Biological Survey of the United States Department of Agriculture announces that Federal funds may be available to sponsor in a number of regional states research on wildlife problems and game management programs. To insure the success of the proposed program it will be necessary for the Biological Survey to have the cooperation of colleges of agriculture of state universities and state game commissions, or equivalent agencies, when such projects are undertaken. T h e University of Illinois has been asked if it will be willing to participate in this project. T h e plan contemplates the expenditure of $18,000 a year—$6,000 to be provided by the Bureau of Biological Survey, $6,000 by the University, and $6,000 from some State agency. T h e Biological Survey will supply a biologist trained in research and game management at a salary of between $2,500 and $3,500, and an additional allotment of government funds to bring its contribution to $6,000 annually. The University will be required to furnish laboratory facilities and equipment and such services from its scientific staff as may be equal to the $6,000 annual funds from the Federal Government. The State game department or commission will be required to contribute cash funds, or its equivalent, according to the needs, of a similar amount and in return it may expect that problems of research and game management, which exist or may arise in Illinois, will become the research objectives of the organization in this State. It is proposed that this arrangement be made for a five-year period.

On motion of Mr. Barr, this project was approved in principle, with the understanding that a definite program shall be submitted to the Board for final action.
