MANAGEMENT: Food largely in
furious insects during summer;
weed seeds in winter. Thrives best
where there is a we'll distributed
pattern of rather dense cover
throughout the crop land areas.
Border or edge paintings Of the
shrub lespedeZa, the sericea, and
the annual lespedeza provide both
food and cover when planted in
narrow strips. Winter food patch
paintings Of soybeans, cowpeas,
millet, milo, and kaffir corn are
effective providing nearby areas of
good cover are present. Marrow
strips Of grain left standing along
the woods edges at harvest time
will do much to carry the birds
through the wintertime.
VALUE: A favorite game bird,
perhaps no other wild bird to which
Maryland people are more indebt-
ed; delights in the farm; friend
and companion Of man; a destroyer
Of weeds and injurious insects.
