Condemnation NewA
BY JESSE r. GOA. ScS

Now that the hunting season
is in full swing, this seems to
be a good time to discuss the
wildlife part of the farm pro-
gram, and especially how quail
fit into the use of the farmland.
First of all | would like to re-
mind you again that the objec-
tive of the Soil Conservation
Service is to put every acre of
the land on the farm to its best
use and at the same time pro-
tect and improve all of it so
that every acre will return a
profit.
In conservation farming on
the average Holmes County
farm the cropland, pastureland,
woodland, and wildlife areas.
when properly managed, work
well together to make the farm
a profitable one. When a farmer
applies good treatment to the
cropland, pasture, and woodland
he has done a good job but not
quite complete. There are al
ways certain areas on the place
that may not be practical for
any of these uses. Such spots
may be found along streams
and bitches. fences. and field
borders. Some may occur in
gullieS within the woods Or in
corners of open fields. These
places may be used best for
wildlife food patches and par
ticulsrlv so in the case Of quail.
Biologists of the Soil ConSer-
vattion Service and the Game
and Fish Commission tell us
that quail eat a variety of foods.
In most cases farmers have
made no special provision for
them and the quail must depend
almost entirely on native plants
to supply their food. Like all
life. quail must have shelter,
food. and water. Nature has
provided tho water supply in
the form of natural streams.
which has been further helped
hv tho construction of manv
hundreds of farm ponds. So. in

quail foods usually available
III TINS area may be listed as
follows: seeds or fruits from
ash, blackberry, pokeberry,
mulberry, and oats during the
summer months; IN the spring
.ime dewberrles and oats are
about the only foods available.

BEANS, beech, black locust, corn,
cowpeas, nuckleberry, Johnson
grass, annual lespedezd, pine
,eeds, partridge peas, peanuts,
oceans, and acorns are used by
luall. BY reviewing the list OF
foods given by seasons it will
oe evident that nature as a rule
provides very well for the birds
during the fall months and fair
~ we'll during the winter sea-
son. During the spring months,
however, it will be noted that
the food supply begins to get
very short and remains short
on through the summer months.
AS previously mentioned, food
shelter, and water are the pri-
mary requirements for all life.
In the case of quail and other
upland game birds Holmes
county has an abundance of
shelter and water. 1t would be
possible to greatly increase the
quail population and provide
better distribution by supple
menting the natural food supply
now available to these birds.
The best way to accomplish the
OBJ would be to initiate a COM
olete conservation plan for the
and on the farm. This would
involve just a little more than
managing the crcpland, pasture
and, and woodland well. It
would mean using the idle spots
IN the place to produce some
extra food for quail, or, as stat
ed before, put every acre to
work.
The Holmes County Soil Con-
servation Service would like to
help you develop a complete
conservation plan for yoLr farm
land. Those odd spots could be
planted to brown-top millet,
cowpeas. annual lespedeza, OIL
gran sorghum. The District will
be glad to help you get bi-color
lespedeza plants to establish
permenent food patches, bor-
ders, or strips, and to help you
work out a practical plan for
putting every acre to profitable
use.

1T PAYS TO FEED


Feeds make up about so per
cent of the total production cost
for hogs less than so per cent
in dairying and about 90 per
cent for beef cattle in feed lots.
Good management of the herd
means higher net profits. Re
search animal nutritionists have
found that a high quality sup
plement especially formulated
for the herd increases daily
gain. Beef cattle feeders find
that range pellets save labor and
cost of feeding. All beef and
dairy farmers should use their
high quality roughage as a ba-
sis for feeding formulated sup
elements.
