Quail populations starved by thousands in the 1904-05 winter but fared better last winter except in February and March. Scarcity from Massachusetts to Indiana necessitates restocking with over 100,000 birds captured in Alabama and the Southwest, though supply is inadequate. Quail are popular game birds with market demand; small-scale raising succeeds, suggesting large-scale production.

Quail starved to death by thousands in the winter of 1904-05, but last winter they had an easy time except in February and March. From Massachusetts to Indiana the quail are so scarce that restocking has become necessary. The birds for this purpose are hard to find. More than 100,000 have been captured in Alabama and the southwest, where they still occur in abundance, and have been shipped north for breeding. Even this supply is inadequate, and may not last long. The quail is perhaps our most popular game bird, and a market will be found for all that can be procured. Complete success has been had in raising them on a small scale. Why should not some one go into the business on such a scale that he could turn out 100,000 quail per year?
