Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 5, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 January 1913 — Thoughtful Farmers Will Thing of Hungry Quails. [ARTICLE]

Thoughtful Farmers Will Thing of Hungry Quails.

John W. King does not forget the zirds and whenever the earth is covered with sleet or snow he calls up The Republican and says: “Don’t forget to warn the farmers to leave quails?’ His thoughfulness in this matter has doubtless caused many persons in years past to scatter a little grain about for the birds. They pay him back the next year in their work killing the larvae that are so damaging to grain and fnlit. The present sleet storm has totally cut off the food supply from the birds. In a few days they will be starving to death if the audobon lovers do not get busy and scatter grain and criimbs for them. Even the housewife can help very much by shaking the tablecloth or the table scrapings on top of the snow and ice. Be kind to the bird's. Do something for them today.
