Stray Shots
and Nibbles
" (Salem Charter)
Izaak Walton League)
by
VERNE ROBB . .
Now that nheasant hunting' in
the valley is ending, it(is always
interesting, together ' with consol
ing, to hold a post-mortem and
hear all the latest reasons why
there weren't more birds in the
bag. Some reports would give you
the impression that there was an
abundance of Scots, in the .field,
with ever the thought of their
Drecious shells, waiting for the
sure-shots. Yet with the ' contin
uous, concentrated firing, heard
echoing on each clear morning, one
could assume that the shooting
was in defense or despair, or both.
Pheasant Hanting
Took Work This Tear
Of course. It Is well known
fact that the ring-neck tribe are
well aware of the hunting season
dates, for on open lands they just
aren't there, opening 'morning.
They also know they are safe
along highway borders and on
state properties and reserves,
tempting the slippery trigger with
their proud parade of leathered
finny. These truths are leeendarv
but in addition, what about this
year?
The one complaint heard most
often was- the lack of good cover
in the favorite hunting areas.
Many fields, were found to have
been recently plowed, or U there
was any growth it was close-cropped,
leaving no hiding place for
birds. Their escape was easy, and
quick pursuit was difficult for
either man or dog. New farming
methods and equipment call for
plowing under the stubble rieht
after harvest, leaving no shatter
ed grain on the ground for feed.
The old stake fences with
growth of rose briar and crass on
either side have been burned out
and modern woven wire fences
replace them. Swales have been
ditched, allowing closer cultivation
and eliminating the former high
grass cover. Corn fields were in
variably Dlastered with No Tres
passing signs, yet all the farmer's
friends were spotted v so thick
around that patch that a pheasant
wouldn't , have a chance. . .-
But these . conditions make
"china"' hunting all -the more
sporting, which went to Drove that
this season a pheasant killed was
a pheasant earned. One man is
reported to have become so dis
gusted with his "misses' that he
put his gun in the car and Just
Pouted, j. He still agrees though
they are a plenty smart bird, and
that's why hell be back blasting
away next year.
Game Comsaltslosi a ad
Game Bird Farms' '
While the above conditions
make it difficult to maintain a
high pheasant population in. the
valley, it should be interesting to
learn what v steps ' Were taken a
few years ago by the came com
mission to provide the nucleus of
our Improved hunting "today. Ba
sically, fax artificial nrooaratinn
every consideration is given ser
ious attention In an effort, as far
as possible, to duplicate nature in
her practices of reproduction.
in IBll the commission leased
the Simpson pheasant farm near
Corvallia for three years, and at
the end of .. that . time . purchased
me zarm and employed Mr. Simp
son as superintendenL Later: th
farms at Eugene, Pendleton and
Ontario were added. Not only has
production increased from . 1208
birds In 1911 to nearly 74,000 In
mo, but game- bird raising has
become -a project amoncst indi
viduals, ' clubs and granges who
secure eggs from the state farms
for hatching, and tell back the
mature birds, thus greatly reduc
ing production costs to the state.
.Tests have been made using in
cubators and brooders as arainst
domestic hens, the latter method
proving the more practical. Under
the . first process, ' birds became
too domesticated, retaining this
lameness too long after release,
nor did they possess the hardiness
equal to that of a hen-raised bird.
Study was also made of-destruc
tive factors after release, so that
in their new . surroundings they
would be protected as much as
was practically possible. Disre
garding county lines, the selection
cf territories was made with these
factors in mind cover, food
Winter Is No
Time to Take
Car Chances
- Because no car owner wants to
take chances on being stalled, mo
torists are advised to have both the
battery and tires checked more
carefully than ever as the time of
colds' wet ' weather- and slippery
pavements approaches. ' ?
This Is advice given by D. M.
Effinger,. G. P. batfery and Fedr
eral tire " representative In this
area, .who says: ' ' ' . ,
fAs we get-into the season of
colder nights and mornings, bat
teries should be checked every
week for water level and for hy
drometer reading. Should read

"During the : present winter

And to ' further prepare your
car to meet winter-weather condi
tions, it would be a good plan tr
have your dealer inspect all the
tires, of your car .with an eagle
eye, to find any tread cuts, nails.
