The Commissioners were told

and on private property such
as parking lots.

Declarer continued with

take the queen of clubs and
lead a third round of trumps.
South took no more tricks.
East and West could have

the slam was not bid at the

Bantam Hens Are Foster Parents For Quail
To Provide Better Hunting In Buckingham

will cease to be restless and will
broad the eggs and then the top
can be removed.
The nature of young quail is
that they leave the nest immed-
lately after Matching. Therefore,
it is necessary to nest them in
basket before they hatch and
if left in a flat place they will
all leave. When not Matched this
way the family keeps together
in a covey until the following
spring.
When scattered they are
brought together by the rallying
call of the parents.
If they are Matched in an in
cubator the quail are afraid of
the hen and will not take to her.
On the same day that the first
lot of quail Matched, R. E. Charl
ton gave Rainey one dozen quail
that he had Matched in an in
cubator. The quail that Matched
under the bantam hen all lived
but the other twelve refused to
take to the hen and got chilled
the first night and died.

BUCKINGHAM. Aug. 1O-To
provide better hunting this win
ter a project has been started
in Buckingham county to sal
wage the thousands of quail eggs
that are being destroyed every
year when hay is moved and
grain combined.
A small group of enthusiastic
men, interested in the welfare
of the quail are involved in this
cooperative game conservation
scheme here.
Thomas Morgan, Gordon Da-
Wis, Gene Dixon. Frank Webb
and r. E. Charlton are assisting
Ralph Rainey who is carrying
on the project on his premises
at Dillwyn.
They bring Rainey the quail
eggs and he sets them under
bantam hens to hatch. He cares
for them until they are ready to
be released.
Permit Required
The local game wardens, who
are also interested in this pro-
ject, informed Rainey he had to
have a permit to raise the
quails in captivity.
Raising any form of wildlife
in captivity requires a permit.
so the permit was duly applied
for and Rainey was engaged in
his newest hobby. raising quail.
Thomas Morgan furnished
Rainey with two bantam hens.
The first farmer to take eggs
to Rainey was Gordon Davis who
found a dozen eggs when he was
moving hay in the spring.
These eggs have Matched and
the young quail have been re-
leased. They followed the hen
around the yard for several days
and finally disappeared in the
nearby thicket.

along with the bantam hen,
which are especially designed
by Rainey from old chicken
coops, until they are old enough
to be released.
The most unique thing about
the whole project is the simple
way cages can be fashioned.
Building Cages
Alan Christian, local carpen-
ter, free of charge converted the
chicken coops into quail cages
for Rainey The procedure. Take
an old bent up broiler chicken
coop with sound corner post and
bottom, saw about three fourths
of the bottom out and cover
with rat wire, for quail must
be raised on rat Wfre) tack rat
wire completely around the
coop, then build a hiding box
at one end Of the coop. Nail four
legs to the coop so that the coop
will stand two to three feet
above the ground.
A coop that has an old fash
Toned thumb and finger hatch
provides ample opening to feed
and water and otherwise attend
to the young brood. 1t is best
to put piece Of tin on top. with
brick to keep it from blowing
off.
Rainey said this can be done
with very little expense, ard that
the young quail will thrive on
ordinary starter and growing
mash that can be bought at any
feed store.
George White, of DillWyn, who
raises quail under a state per-
init gave Rainey 40 eggs. These
Matched on July 80. Every quail
Matched SO far by Rainey has
survived.
Rainey states that, IF some
thing similar to this could be
promoted by the game commits
sion on a state wide basis, thou
sands Of quail eggs could be
salvaged in the spring and sum
mer and could be released in
the fall.
He added that this would be
an interesting project for 4-Her's
and FLA members.
Due to the efforts of these
men, perhaps hunting will be
better in Buckingham, come
hunting season this fall.
Others now are joining in with
this enthusiastic group Of men
and providing Rainey with
with quail eggs.

The eggs must be placed under

wise. they will not hatch. These
eggs Matched exactly % days
later. These are now about one
month old and are soon to be
released.
Setting The Bantam
Rainey said that the most i'm
portant step in the whole pro-
ject is setting the bantam on
the eggs. The procedure is as
followes: procure an ordinary
bushels basket with a top. Place
about four inches of moist,
damp saw dust, with a little
straw on top. Mix about a hand
full of rotenone with the saw
dust. This will insure that no var
mint lice or other pest will modest
