There is no change in the Mary

last year-September l to October

their limit of 10, take them home,
and then return for 10 more In the
afternoon. Incidentally, II dove

at noon, and all told, 81 States have
no open season on doves. In Mary
land, Garrett County is closed to
dove shooting.
The crop of doves this year varies
somewhat with the locality. We have
reports of doves fairly plentiful in
some sections, and in others few
have been observed, Early season
shooters must find their sport with
locally raised doves, as those raisI d
farther north do not begin to mi

Frankly, we would rather have the
season for doves open later than
Sept l. Many Of these fine game
birds still are nesting, and there are
far too many birds shot just out of
the fiedgling stage during Septem-
ber. OF course, the young of adult
doves which still are in the nest
