Dr Fischer said the cost per

data collection, while high, is
less than by an plane if the same
aiea is to be sniveled seveial
times. The EROS piogiam can
survey economically the same
aiea many times undei diffeient

tially pioduces maps directly,
since the field of scan is vertical.
With an plane reconnaissance,
most of the field of view is ang

conections before maps can be
made.
The various speakers showed
examples of remote sensing to
determine crop acreage and land
use, to locate and measure crop
disease and insect infestations,
to map crop and soil moisture
conditions, and to study ground
water discharge With the use
of infrared film, plant disease
symptoms often aie perceived
by remote sensing before they
are apparent from the ground.

Actually, Pennsylvania is one

Of the 39 winneis dining the
past year, nine 'completed the
requirements for all thiee
species the spring gobbler sea

bears taken in the state last fall,
218, undoubtedly had a bearing
on the reduced number of
awai d winners.
Trexler said that two hunters
who won Triple Trophies dur
ing the first two years of the
program qualified for their
second such awards dm mg the
past year. They were Richard
D. Nelson of Coudersport, R D.
2, and Thomas E Schench of
Prosperity, R. D. 1 Only two
other hunteis have won the
award twice.
The past year also saw the
first woman win the award.
She was Mrs. Maulyn J. Cor
bett of Carlisle, R. D. 1.
All of the 1968 69 winners
were Pennsylvania residents.
Previously, two non-residents
had qualified for the award.
A shoulder patch and a certi
ficate signed by the executive
director of the Pennsylvania
Game Commission are present
