Abstract
The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of current agricultural practices on lesser prairie chicken populations in West Texas. An understanding of the effects of varying amounts and methods of cultivation, brush control by spraying and plowing, and grazing factors is necessary to foster the perpetuation and expansion of the lesser prairie chicken population as a wildlife resource in Texas. This understanding will lead to practical management procedures which may be adopted by individual ranchers and farmers.
