QUAIL WORTH IS TO FARMER

Careful and conservative students of
its hsbits have rated every quail as
worth $5 to the farmer. Few turkeys
yield so much, yet the farmer would
feel insulted to have the sportsman ask,
or take without asking, the privilege of
shooting some of his domestic fowl
Guiltless of even little tresspassing
charged to its cousin, the ruf1ed grouse
or pheasant. that of feasti1g on young
twigs, sprouts and buds, the quail has
never been convicted of real damage at
any season of the year. 1t is a diligent
CLEANER in stubble fields, but there is no
evidence that it destroys either sprout-
ing or ripened grain.
Few birds, save the rose-breaste1
grosbeak, win devour Colorado potato
bugs like the quail. The moth and larva
of the cutworm are eaten with relish.
Chich bug, cotton worms, cucumber
beetle, wireworms, cloverleaf weeviI,
army worms, cotton bollweevil, rose
bug, grasshopper, locustand the tobacco
worm butterfly are among the ingredi-
ents of its flesh diet. Few birds eat so
large proportion of injurious insects.
AS a seed and weed destroyer, the
quail's mission is less important. The
food capacity of each bird is estimated
as half-ounce day. Though a pro-
life race, quail have other enemies than
the gunner One of the most common
is heavy SHOWS, cutting off their food
supply. AS they are ground birds,
heavy SHOWS, followed by rain or sleet,
often forms crust under which they
are hopelessly buried. The farmer who
scatters grain about his yard freely in
time of heavy snow will find that the
quail are as regular feeder as his do
mestic fowls, and the little care given
for the short period required pays in
pleasure as well as in dollars and cents

THE LIQUOR DECISION

A prominent lawyer of Wilmington
thinks the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court of Delaware has opened
up the booze business for Delaware
and Maryland. He said: ''The decision
of the Delaware Supreme Court
that the Webb-Kenyon law does not
prohibit interstate shipments of liquor
into the dry sections of this State had
its effects Monday. More cases of Ii
quor were shipped by express into Kent
and Sussex counties largely from Bal
timore, than at ally time since the
Hazel law went into force, more than
a year ago. To all intents and pur-
poses, these counties are now wet. The
decision had scarcely been rendered
when orders by the hundred were mail
ed and telegraphed to Baltimore, Phil
adelphia and other places for liquor
Not only can liquor be shipped to Della
warians for lawful use but, if address,
ed to persons in this StaUe, it can be
taken across. the line into the Eastern
Shore counties Of Maryland thereby
making the Anti-Shipping law of Mary
land less effective.
