State Restocks With Pheasants Under Three Year Agreement
The Oregon State Fish and Game Commission hires Gene M. Simpson of Corvallis for three years to stock Reese and China pheasants, using his farm and expertise. The plan aims to grow a profitable captive pheasant industry, with legal sales allowed to consumers under state law and permits from the State Game Warden. Reeves pheasants sell for 25 dollars per trip. China pheasants fetch 2.50 to 4.00 dollars per bird. Funeral services were held Wednesday at the Presbyterian church for Mr. Howie, with burial at Friends Cemetery and participation from the C. O. F. burial group.
