Shelter for Quail.

William r. Mcculley, OF Macon
county. thinks he has solved the prob
lem Of preserving quail. He owns
quite a large farm and he discovered
that quail were becoming more and
more scarce each year. Then he set
about studying the cause and came to
the conclusion that II was C OF
shelter. Since then he has every
spring planted sugar cane along the
side OF the hollows of his farm and
permits the same TO stand during the
winter. II not only affords the quail
food. but shelter of the kind they
like. Other farmers in Boone, Gala
way and several counties of the state
have adopted Mr.. McCulley's plan, and
they think 1t is just what was needed.
