The Professor

(1933–1934)

A FEW days after joining the faculty of the University of Wisconsin, Leopold gave a short talk for the state’s farmers over WHA radio, h. the university-sponsored station. His topic was “Building a Wisconsin Game Crop”:

At this season when the frost will soon be on the pumpkin, and the first sumacs are turning red, many a young man’s fancy turns to thoughts of game birds. The trouble is that in most places game birds have become scarce. The city dweller interested in game can do little about it except to make speeches about conservation. The farmer, however, can actually raise a game crop on his farm, which is much more useful service to conservation than making speeches. Anybody can deplore the passing of the good old days, but to help bring them back is the special privilege of farmers.1
