Increased Homes For Wildlife Program Planned Wildlife faces housing short age. This problem is more seri ous in certain parts of the state than it is in others. "The problems of wildlife are many. Wildlife faces a con stant battle for survival. Its friends are few its enemies countless. In addition to the usual list of enemies such as crows, coyotes and other animals our game also has the weather, the plow, livestock and fire to combat. "Man is strictly a fairweather friend to our game. Our favors are done for wildlife in expec tion of later harvesting that same wildlife. 'The more we can do for game, the more we can expect game to do for us in increasing our pleasures in the field. " There are many ways we can repay our debt to wildlife." One task is "to provide our game with a means of combating nat ural enemies. This may best be done by providing them am ple cover." With this in mind, the Ne braska Game Commission is ac celerating its "Homes for Wild life'' program. Cooperating land owners and sportsmen will be furnished planting stock with out charge for such areas. Both the farmer or sportsmen and wildlife will benefit. The complete story on the problem and how cooperating land owners and sportsmen can receive tree planting stock ap pears in the Spring issue of Out door Nebraska, available on April 1.
