The shoes in question are six years old and Bed feels they hare brought him a lot of rood fortune. He bought them the first time he was booked in New York.

While the season was not due to dose until February 15th, the State Development and Conservation found it necessary to dose the season now, in order to preserve quail breeding stock. Ae taken last week at the regular meeting of the state board. TK ftinn met with the hearty aDDraval of the Hunters and Fish ers Association of Haywood. They have through their officers gone on record endorsing the movement. Felix Stovall is president of the group. ' The hard winter of last year, heavy spring rains, end floods during the summer played havoc with email in Haywood. The action regarding rabbits was taken inasmuch as a hunter usually hunts both birds and rab bits on the same trip. A reouest was made that the board send 500 pairs of quail into the county for breeding. Some hnnten, maintain that such birds do not thrive when brought into a strange environment. The local hunters are . urging that a quail hatchery be establish ed in the county, and that birds from it be used for restocking all counties in Western Carolina. "The dose co-operation of the sDortsmen and farmers with the mime nrotector and the State de partment is essential in solving the nmNera of conserving the rame which is left and in restocking de pleted areas," Mr. Stovall said. "The sportsmen of the county should make an effort to work in rfaser co-o Deration with each other thrmieh organization rather than as individuals," Mr. Stovall con cluded. It was pointed out by members of the county association that since the hunters pay approximately seventy-five per cent or better of the revenue brought from sale oi that a larrer proportion should be spent for the benefit of hunters than is now being expend ed.'
