Akron will not miss the water from

QUAIL
Has Suffered From
This Cold.
May be Very Scarce
Next Season.
Mr.. Haynes Experience With the
Birds at Barberton.

From all reports, hunters will find
quail very scarce quantity in this
section of the country next season. and
the reason for the scarcity will have
been the present cold weather. The
ground has been frozen solid and COW
cred with mantle of deep snow for
a long time, and the low temperature
has been the cause of large number
of quail being frozen as well as starv-
ed by reason of being unable to find
bare places and spots which were not
frozen at which to get food.
AS an instance of the effect of the
cold, the experience of Mr.. NJ. r.
Hayne, of this city, secretary of the
Alden Rubber Co., at Barberton, may
be cited.
There is large field near the COM
pany's factory, and at the close of the
last hunting season, Mr.. Hayne saw
that there were large numbers Of quail
still in this field. He made them a
study and was in the habit of leaving
grain for the birds and in other ways
cultivating a closer acquaintance. The
quail came regularly for their feed
Since the recent very cold weather,
however, the quail have failed to make
their appearance and the closest
search has notrevealed a single track.
Mr.. Hayne believes that they have all
been frozen.
