minish the bumper fox crop in
Maryland. The game wardens of
the State are to be trained in the
arts of trapping and in off seasons

tention to the foxes. Fox control
always has been a highly contro-
versial subject, especially in parts of
Maryland where fox hunting is
practiced, and it is expected that
considerable opposition will arise
to block the efforts of wardens.
Both Maryland and West Virginia

Until the yellow perch run start,

fishing in this area is over for thi,
season. The rockfish apparently
have given us all the "go-by," anc
numbers of boatmen are laying ur
their craft for the winter. What
had all the appearance of a fine
season for stripers proved somewha,
disappointing, but the weather wa.
against us.
With the colder weather anc
some mildly freezing nights, the
ducks have commenced to spread
out over nearby feeding areas ano
better shooting is in prospect fol
gunners in the lower Potomac and
PatuXent. We observed quite a
few more ducks in these areas over
the last week end and believe we
can predict safely that the season
Is at last under way. There is still
a very heavy concentration of wild
fowl over on the Eastern Shore, but
new arrivals from f1ocks still far
ther North and slowly thinning out
feed is producing the desired effect
The old-timers say there is a create,

the canvasbacks are still up on the
Susquehanna flats, but soon should
be drifting down.
Bird hunters in Maryland have
been bitterly disappointed. The
scarcity of quail is attributed to a
number of causes. Undoubtedly
heavy rains early in the Matching
season drowned out many broods
Later on, hawks and the steadily
increasing numbers of foxes have
taken their toll A new factor or
theory was advanced last evening by
several well-known local conserva-
tionists from nearby Maryland,
which may throw some real light on
why the Maryland quail crop seems
to be steadily decreasing. These
men not only raise and release MANY
quail on their own account, but are
students of conditions favoring
these finest of game birds. Their
claim is that great. numbers of
quail are killed annually by inocu-
lated seed grain. It is our under
standing that wheat and barley is
lnoculated against rust by the use
of poisonous compounds containing
mercury. When the seeds are
soWn, many of them remain un-
covered and are eaten by quail as
well as other birds. Dead quail
have been found in and along the
borders of fields sown with these
lnoculated grains. Cases we're cited
