Distribution of Quail in Carroll
County.

Shipment of quail from Texas con-
signed to H. L. Hobby, reached West
minister last Monday morning and the
various committees were notified and
practically all of the quail were sent
out for distribution the same day
they arrived. These quail were dis
tributed on as fair basis as pos
sible and every district in the county
received their allotment. Owing to the
fact that so were short in the ship
ment on account of many of them dy-
ing enroute, it was impossible to give
as many to each district as. was
planned. These quail seem to be of
the same specie as our bob-white..
This is some of the splendid work
of the game department of Maryland
is doing and the expense is borne by
the revenue received from hunting
licenses.
1t Isl understood that nearly 5000
quail have been ordered for this State
for distribution. Let the good work
continue
