A Reasonable Elk PLANTATION ~ the Fact
that 6p0rtsmen Have Begged Few.
This years bird shooting season In
Maryland was keen disappointment to
sportsmen, and their greatest chagrin
was caused by their failure to lind
cartridges or quail where they had been
represented to be In abundance before
the season opened. Two reasons may
be alleged for the latter. Tie frequent
whistling Of the birds In the spring
when they are about to mate IL not
always a safe guide TO the number Of
coveys that will be found In November,
and not sufficient Importance IN at
tached to the disposition Of the birds
to migrate. The weather, the tempera-
tIire, and other conditions may multi
ply the calls of the birds to each other
In the spring and make them seem to
be more numerous than they really are.
The partridge, or quail, Is more Of
migratory bird than many imagine,
says the Baltimore Sun, and this will
account for the mysterious disappear
ance OF number of coveys In Novem-
Der which had been seen In the latter
part Of August or early In September.
They often follow a river moving down
one side or the other, so that n covey
may be i'm November many miles from
where II was seen I'm September. This
is verified both by actual observation
and by the fact that large numbers OF
birds turned out by clubs I'm the spring
will raise families and disappear alto
gether from the spot where they were
released. 1t Is supposed that they have
moved south of the point where they
were released, for they seldom go north,
and it has been suggested as remedy
that those. who take the trouble to pre-
serve them during the winter should
release them some miles north of the
spot where they would like to have
them locate.
The main cause Of the scarcity Of
birds during the season just closed was
the severe winter of 1928. Not only
was there an immense amount of snow
but the cold was intense and froze the
small water-courses tight. The birds,
II they can get water, can manage to
scratch precarious living i'm the fields,
but they are unable to make a fight
| against starvation and thirst at the
| same time. After such winter several
moderate Seasons are needed to bring
back the normal supply of birds. The
| discOntinuance of wheat or small grain
crops has had the effect of driving quite
number of birds from their usual
haunts in search of stubble fields, and
this cause for their disappearance is
more likely to increase than to dimin-
| ish.
There is one consolation to sports
men. The birds have been quite as
scarce in former years, and have grad
ually multiplied under favorable con-
ditions. BY bringing birds from abroad
and feeding them during the winter
and turning them out in the spring 1t
may be possible to facilitate the null
| utilization.
