From the text (p.50) ... 'Though the writer considers the desirability of controlled burning for quail in the region as fully proven and demonstrated on scores of hunting preserves, he does not want to take the entire responsibility of influencing any landowner or public agency in a change of policy, if to do so is against their better judgment. This because fire may well be compared to a two-edged sword which requires judgment, care, and experience to properly handle, and he obviously cannot be responsible for the way in which fire is actually used on any ground but his own. He is prepared to stand squarely behind the recommendations as made, however. He would like to take this occasion to call to the attention of members of the Association their opportunity to make their lands examples of what can be accomplished by intelligent management of fire, rather than examples of fire abuse. He is confident that money, care, and labor expended in fire control along the lines recommended will react to their advantage in more game and greater property values, at least as compared to either total fire exclusion or the usual uncontrolled burning.'
