Help Save the Game Birds.


An unusually heavy blanket Of snow
covers the woods and fields of Min
nesota, varying in depth from over
three feet in the northern part of the
state to lesser depths in the southern
portions.
This condition will probably con-
tinue for six to eight weeks longer
and presents q dangerous condition
as effecting game birds, particularly
quail.
Corn fields, weed thickets and other
sources of food supply are being bur-
led under the drifts and starvation
may be the fate of many birds, though
such an impending disaster may in a
large measure be averted by search
ing out the location of bevies Of quail
and placing food for them in Access
sible and sheltered places and in i'm
proving natural shelters.
Even prairie chickens may suffer
starvation from the same cause, tho
not in the same degree as the quail
as the latter are less hardy and less
able to care for themselves and cope
with rigorous weather conditions.
Chinese pheasants, few Of which
are established in certain localities,
require attention and care. Ruled
grouse, on account of protection af-
forded by the forests and their habits,
are best able to cope with severe
weather and are probably in no SER
ious danger from this cause.
Game wardens have been instruct
ed to give as much attention as DOS.
sible to this situation during the next
few weeks. They, are instructed to
search out the location of quail and
prairie chickens and endeavor to in
terest people in the vicinity in feed
ing and caring for them il they re.
quire it. When not possible to secure
the cooperation of farmers and 9th.
ers they are authorized to secure and
place suitable food in accessible plac
es for the birds and to incur such ne
| cessary expense as is incident to
this work. Sheaves of grain are well
suited to this purpose and the sweep
ings from barns containing variety
Of seeds of weeds and grasses are ex
cellent if properly distributed and
placed. Wheat, oats, barley and buck
wheat may be scattered in loose
| straw.
The lives of many of our winter in
| sectivorous birds may also be saved
by erecting feeding stations and birt
lunch counters and keeping them sup
piled with seeds, meat scraps, suet
etc.
The interest and cooperation of in
dividuals, bird clubs, sportsmen's
clubs, farmers clubs, editors, school.
and other agencies is earnestly solic
tied, as it is better to try to save thu
birds we now have rather than fac
the necessity Of attempting to re-stocl
depleted covers, particularly in view
of the fact that wild game birds ar,
now unobtainable anywhere for pur
poses Of propagation owing to non
export state laws.
Probable continuation of the pres
ent weather conditions for some tim,
render this matter urgent and worth!
