HARD WINTER
Game Birds Must Depend on Kindness
Of Farmer for Food.

This has been trying winter thus
far for game birds. particularly for
Bob White'-the delight of every
true sportsman, sturdy, gallant little
fellow, we'll able to take care of himself
when his natural food supply is avail
able. But there have been heavy snow
falls and intensely cold weather in
Maryland Virginia and West Virginia
and unless Bob Whites friends among
the farmers and sportsmen provide food
for him while the fields are covered with
snow many birds of his tribe will perish.
1t is not an uncommon thing in the
severest winter weather to come across
a ccvey of these birds stiff in death. the
victims. of cold and hunger. Many birds
would be saved if grain were scattered
near their feeding places, and it is to be
hoped that this kindly care of one of
our finest game birds has not been neg
lected In Maryland and the Virginias,
or late years there has seemed to be a
diminution in the number of cartridges,
even in places where they were once
abundant and in states in which the
game laws are enforced and the ship
ment of game from the states IS pro-
hibited. 1t would be regretable. indeed.
if there should be further diminution
because of the failure of Bob Whites
friends to feed him in the hour of his
necessity, when he cannot supply hi,
wants from natures store.-Baltimore
