Adequate Measures for Protection Of
This Bird Against Pothunters has
Now Become a Necessity.

York.-That the presence in York
county of the boil weevil will operate

ing the approaching season. With the
"bobwhite" pronounced by ornitholo-
gists and entomologists as an inveter.
ate enemy Of the boil weeyil and valu.
able ally Of man in the war on the
pest, farmers are viewing the situa-
tion as regards his protection In an
entirely new light. In the past many
unsportmanlike hunters have relent-
lessly pursued coveys until not p
single survivor was left, often brag.
ging about the exploit. Such tactics
will now 60 into discard, for with the
fuller realization that the partridge
has an actual economic value, there
will come about protective measures
that sentiment alone was powerless
to effect. Well informed persons, Of
course, have always known that the
partridge was an ally Of man in his
warfare against destructive insects,
but 1t required q concrete case like
that Of his value in combating the boil
weeviI to bring home the fact to the
people generally.
