36,697S46 cotton spinning spindles
were in place on November 30, 1921,

at some time during the month,
compared with S4,221,6 for Octo-
ber, 33,S9S,415 for September, and
31700,O14 for November, 1920. The
aggregate number of active spindle

that they have found it harder to
bag decent number of birds in a

I've never seen quail act as they
did this year." said Mr. Barefoot.
"For instance, you get up a covey
of twelve birds. In former years they
would fly obligingly straight ahead
and light again where you could go
to 'em and get the whole flock up.
But not this year, no ma'am! when
you get up that covey of twelve this
year, they will separate into four
punches, and they'll fly in four di-
rections. The result Is that you'll be
half a day and will walk seventeen
miles in rounding up that covey Of
birds. Most unaccommodating birds
