Cedar Rapids, Aug. 27.-Local nim-

is quail shooting are anticipating some
splendid hunting when the season opens
Noy.1. The young quail are now about
two-thirds grown, and reports from
farmers turnout the county indicate
that the present season has been ideal.
The quail, they say, is a knowing bird,
and builds it's nest on high ground. On
this account the eggs and young birds
were not greatly harmed by the wet
weather during the spring and early
summer, The open season continues
for a period of six weeks, from Nov.
1 to Dec. Is.
Reports are general that young ma
tive ducks are plentiful in all parts of
the state where ducks are accustomed
to nest. The wet wee Their. however
