Game Conservation Officers
Report On Bird Activities
Request That Interest Be
Enlisted In Protecting
Quail On Florida Keys;
Need To Reproduce

A&U&1S@& 6s SeAA4AACAs o~@AAA9
commissioner for the Game Con-
servation Department. and New
ton Lewis. chief conservation Of
ficer of the 4th Congressional
District. made a recent call on
the secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce to renew old friend
ship and make a most interesting
report.
They came here just after re-
leasing forty pairs of quail on No
Name and Big Pine. and asked
that interest be enlisted among
the citizens and sportsmen gen.
orally in seeing that these birds
were protected and given
chance TO reproduce.
Should they meet with local
cooperation to this extent further
introductions of quail will take
place. If the birds are destroyed
by pot-hunters they will make
no further effort, as it costs over
$l.50 to trap and release birds In
a new district.
New Attraction
1t is to be hoped that the Keys
will be given new attraction,
and that the cheeriest and most
courageous note in the fields and
woods of America, the call bob
White, will be heard in this
lovely archipelago, and that the
finest sport America has to offer,
that of quail hunting, may be
among the Keys assets.
A hope was expressed that the
next legislature will pass a law
protecting the remnant of that
beautiful sub-species of deer,
which is peculiar to the Big Pine
archipelago, and which, if once
destroyed, can never be replaced.
A careful survey of the district
reveals that the number of deer
now in existence probably does
not exceed 20 individuals and
unless protected America can
mark off one more extinction of
her wild life due to ruthless de-
Struction.
rs Much VaI,,a
The small value that one of
these deer has food item is
not one thousandth its value as
an attraction alive And if these
deer are protected it will be but
a short time before the journey
to the Keys from the mainland
will be enlivened by a sight of
these beautiful creatures grazing
unafraid within sight of the high
way, it is pointed out.
Mr.. Schiller and Mr.. Lewis
point out the fact that much
more adequate protection could
be given to the lower Keys if the
State Highway Department would
grant a pass to duly authorized
officers. These men, of whom
there are two in Monroe County,
furnish their own car and gas
and have a travel allowance of
$3.50 per day, which does not go
far if they have to pay toll over
the highway. The protection CIV
en- deer on the mainland has re-
suited in a remarkable increase
and this year during the open
season twice as many deer have
been killed as in the previous sea-
son without any damaging re-
suits to the number left for seed.
Monroe County, it is shown,
owes much to the devoted
service of these two authorized
men, and it is to be hoped that
their services may be extended
TO the lower Keys.

they lacked money or were not

claim amateurs who would put up
a great fight against the best of

getting to the elimination play at

Americans and trimmed them 4
to 0 in five innings. Key West
