Nearly everyone agreed when rotund, bright-eyed Major Littleton Waller Taswall Waller Jr. of Meadowbrook, Pa., son of the soldier who rescued Herbert Hoover & wife in the Boxer Uprising, declared, "Lack of educated man power is the only thing wrong with game conservation." Major Waller was applauded for a three-point program: 1) Let farmers be encouraged to raise game as a standard crop. 2) Let game scientists research widely. 3) Let there be educated an army of game managers...
