Why Prevent Breeding
/ Of Quail and Grouse

All naturalists and all sportsmen
know that it is a very easy matter 10
introduce grouse and quail on protect
ed areas and quickly to make these
splendid fowls so plentiful that they
could be sold in the markets as cheap
ly as the European grouse and part
ridges are sold in the foreign markets,
| says a writer in the Game Breeder.
The pheasants easily are reared in
big numbers and since the Laws were
amended a few years g permitting
| game breeders to produce p~heasants
| without fear of arrest the p~heasants
have become SO abundant in many
places that it will be no longer neces-
sary to send money abroad to pur-
chase them.
Why should American breeders be
compelled to sen thousands of dollars
I annually to Mexico for small quail
when the large northern birds easilv
could no produced on American farms
! In sufficient numbers to supply the de-
mands of all those who wish to pur-
| chase quail for breeding purposes for
sport or for food?
1t seems nonsensical for the laws to
| say that money only can be sent to
| Mexico for quail just as 1t was sent a
Flew years ago to other foreign coun-
/ tries in payment for pheasants.
Quail shooting has been ended prob
ably forever, in many states. Some
! quail survive in parts of these states.
lbut they are of nc value either for
food or for sport and they are not of
| any appreciable value as insect de-
stroyers inc there are not enough OF
them.
A little spraying of the plants will
do more good in a few minutes than
| the few quail which survive will do in
a year. Granting that the quail arc
beneficial to agriculture. why should
not the state permit and encourage the
farmers to make and to keep them
| proftably plentiful? Why encourage
| the breeding of fish and prevent the
production of quail?
Why should a state game depart
ment or a state legislature persist in
being nonsensical?

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-President
Wilson as president OF the American
Red Cross. has issued the following
proclamation, asking every American
to enroll in the Red Cross during the
Christmas Roll Call, December 18th to
2srd.
To the American People:
One year ago twenty-five million
Americans. by enrolling as members
of the Red Cross at Christmas time,
sent to the men who were fighting our
BATHS overseas a stimulating message
OF cheer and good will. They made IL
clear that our people were of their
own free choice united with their gov
eminent In the determination not only
to wage war with the instruments OF
destruction, but also by every means
in their power to repair the ravages
of the invader and sustain and renew
the spirit of the army and of the
homes which they represented. The
friends of the American Red Cross in
Italy, Belgium, and France have told,
and will tell again. the story OF how
the Red Cross workers restored NOR
ale in the hospitals, in the camps, and
at the cantonments. and we ought to
be very proud that we have been per-
mitted to be of service to those whose
sufferings and whose glory are the
heritage of humanity.
Now. by Gods grace, the Red Cross
Christmas message of 1918 is to be n
message of peace as we'll as a message
of good will. But peace does not mean
that we can fold our hands. 1t means
further sacrifices. Our membership
must hold together and be increased
for the great tasks to come. We must
prove conclusively to an attentive
world that America is permanently
aroused to the needs of the new era,
our old indifference gone forever.
The exact nature of the future serv-
ice OF the Red Cross Will depend upon
the program of the associated govern
ments. but there is immediate need to-
day for every heartening word and for
