5,000 Partridges to Be Turned Loose in State of Indiana.

George W. Miles, state fish and game commissioner, will this week receive a shipment of 2,500 pairs of Hungarian partridges for distribution throughout the state. Places have been selected for the entire number. The birds will come from Yardley, Pa., where the former birds released in the state were obtained. consignment will make approximately 6,500 pairs of the partridge released in the state. Under the present law, one-third of the money received from the sale of hunters’ licenses must be used in restocking the game fields of the state. Mr. Miles will seek to have the law amended so that the expenditure of the money will be left to the discretion of the commissioner. He hopes to obtain this permission in order to use some of the money in restocking the lakes and streams with fish.
