HEAVY SNOW HAS
SLAIN The QUAIL
L. r. Johnson Advocates state
Protection Until This Bird is
Again Plentiful!
(By L. r. Johnson.)

This very severe winter has brought
suffering to birds ard animals as we'll
as to the human family. Fear is ex-
pressed that quail have been exte,m-
mated except where IT, y took refuge
around barns and stacks and were
unmolcsted o. perhaps fed by the
farmers. 1t would appear to be q
wise policy TO prohibit all trapping
of quail for 3 series Of years. Olher
birds, less shy, have far d better. The
saucy sparrow goes into barns and
poultry houses in seacch of bits and
fer warmth; in every way it viii avail
itself of mans assistance Lut most o.
the othcr birds are very tim:d though
hunger drives them to bolder cen
duct: On a shelf Just outside win
dow keep an ear of corn lying and
this has b come known to quite 4
company Of blue Jays. Up til late
in the morning they keep coming frs
giving the place a close scrutiny for
possible enemies, then hopping upon
the car and hammering a grain with
their big strong bills until they can
tug it out. With all their powers of
body they strike very much as the
flicker drills into a dead limb. Three
or four grains seem to satisfy them
for the time. Teach the chi d~en to
be nerciful and to love tie BIRDS by
encouraging them to Put ont feed and
to watch tie hungry rendicants eat,
Order nursery stock now before the
spring rush is upon the nucseryman.
Orders are usually f-ld in rotation
and first come. first served Get cata-
Iog7tas from reliable nurseries and
send your orders direct to them and
thus save agents commissions. Do
not give orders to strange agents who
are travelling through the country and
who g~nerally have some wonderful
stories to put out about the stock.
Buy only of agents who you know and
can trust. Do not believe extravaSant
claims and pay excessive prices for
novelties.
Stick to old standard kinds and test
new claimants sparing'y Ether the
Normal School or the Experiment Sta
ton at Columbia will answer inquir,
les relating to fruit growing. There
is even more profit in we'll kept
orchard than in field crops and these
willing to give thCdr trees few hours
attention VIII BE- richly repaid.
It is we'll established that seed com
produced by crossing two distinct va
rietios will produce several bushels
more per acre than inbred seed. Tais
IS a fact Of great value and yet one
that attracts no attention and is rot
acted upon. 1t should have especial
value for contestants in acre yields.
But with this fact must 90 the other,
that only the first generation Of the
cross bred corn is more productive;
after that it runs lower. Cross the
corn this year and plant the result
next year, but 60 no further with it.
To keep this process going, plant
few hills Of two standards every year
to produces first generation cross-bred
