Excerpt from The Place of Winter Feeding in Practical Wildlife Management The Save Our Birds letter previously quoted from is again referred to in the 1908 report, while that for 1910 (kalbfus, 1911) discusses the winter feeding of quail at some length. The point stressed is the fact that the farmers, who derive the greatest benefits from the birds through their destruction of weed seeds and insects, did little or nothing to help them through the winter, while interested sportsmen spent appreciable amounts of time, money and effort in winter feeding for the express purpose of providing at least a limited number of birds for sporting pm poses. To quote, in part, It is otherwise with the sportsmen, for many years past I have known men of this class, in many sections of the State, spending both their time and money in caring for quail and turkeys and other wild birds. I know of one gentleman in Lewistown, who hired a horse and carriage, at least once a week, for more than two months, who bought buckwheat and screenings and other food and who traveled over a route of more than twelve miles, upon each trip, looking after and protecting nine covies of quail I know of numbers of gentlemen who cared for one or more covies of quail in this way, simply, that when the proper time came, they might enjoy a day's outing with gun and dog. These remarks clearly show the general extent and pur' pose of the winter feeding program of thirty years ago.
