The committee in charge of the stocking of streams iy k ied by Samuel T. Thorpe and he (has given unselfishly of his time and |services in regard. After several unsuccessful at- {tempts fo procure northern quail, {the association finally succeeded in |obtaining a number of these birds | with its policy to stred trout. = from the Possum Hollow game farm at Springfield, Ohlo. Much doubt was expressed as to whether or not these birds would survive, as they jhad become almost extinct in this |vicinity.

Judd, took the - birds fo his preserve on Fall Moun- tain and cared for them until milder weather et in, and due to the care- ful attention given the birds only two or three were lost, and the rest were liberated in the surrounding woods. 'Mhat the birds did sutvive ind did thrive is attested to by the tement of numerous hunters who, during the past fall, have seen quail in this vicinity where they have not 1 seen for over 20 vears.
