More than $1,000,000 from the sportsman's fund has been used for the purchase of game lands since 1920. Titles for acres of good game territory, distributed in 33 counties of the state, have passed to the Commonwealth. In addition to this, and ha addition to the 26,867 acres recently approved for purchase, about 37,200 acres are under purchase contract. Titles have been examined and surveys made for most of the 37,200 acres. Landowners are offering to sell their lands to the Game Commission at prices ranging from $1.00 per acre up.

Most of the land already purchased has been in the price range of $3.00 per acre. Many of the offelrs being received cannot be considered by board for varied reasons. In some instances the area is entirely too small, while for others the price is too high. Tracts of less than 500 acres will not be considered 'unless thsy adjoin present holdings, or where a purchase project is under way. Blocks containing 5,000 to 10,000 acres are considered preferable for Game Commission purposes.

Abandoned farms connecting with woodland territory are desirable. In many instances it is necessary to acquire a number of small tracts adjoining one another in order to obtain a block of 500 acres or more. Low-priced lands are desired, for usually a greater variety of game is found in young forest growth or on abandoned farms.
