Deplores Open Quail Season.

According to an estimate made by
DR.. Eugene Swope, Ohio educational
agent for the National Audubon So
ciety, if the claim made by a sports
mems league. to the effect that they
have enough legislators pledged to
give Ohio an open season on quail
next year is true, Ohio farmers are
facing an economic loss CT $1,000,000.
DR.. Swope believes that an open sea-
son, say for ten days, would result in
100000 hunting licenses being taken
out, and each hunter would average
at the lowest estimate, about one quail
day. A quail as destroyer of in
jurlous insects is worth about dollar
a year to farmers, he says. This
would mean," says DR.. Swope, that
Ohio crops would suffer million-dol
lar loss in order that 100000 hunters
may have some fun. I'D that the Fish
and State Game Commission may have
