Secretary r. G. Krkwood, of the Mary
land Game and Fish Protective Association,
stated Monday that over $50 dozen cartridges
had been ordered 10y residents of Maryland
for propagating purposes, and the associa-
ton has placed these orders. He had advices
from the dealers that they would begin ship
ping next week. and he expects to have the
entire lot of more than 1,S00 birds in Balti-
more by May 1. Mr.. Kirkwood said it was
better not to have the birds here before that
time indicated The partrdges when turned
out late are more inclined to mate and will
not wander so far from the places Of liberia
ton. Mr. Krkwood has made Il thorough
study of the question, after getting informa-
ton from others who had turned out birds in
this locality. He found the best results from
releasing the birds about May /, and that the
less time they were cooped the better. The
birds the association had ordered were lately
caught. Mr.. Kirkwood states from his aavices
that there are as many partridsos now in
MARYLAND as there were at this period two
years ago. Last year, he said, the birds were
extraordinarily plentiful, and with the active
distribution OF stock birds no IS OF the opinion
that there will be plenty for shooting next
fall. providing the Matching season is not one
Of severe foods.
