OKLAHOMA’S DOVE
SEASON RUNS
UNTIL OCT. 30
Oklahoma’s first migra-
tory bird season opened
September 1 and will run
through October 30. Hunt-
ing hours are from one half
hour before sunrise to sun-
set.
Those are the days when
it will be legal to shoot
doves, a bird hunted very
extensively in the western,
central and southern por-
tions of the state. Only a
few hunters in the eastern
part of the state seek the
fast-flying, zig-zagging
dove.
There is said to be an
excellent crop of doves in
Oklahoma this year. There
was a good hatch of native
birds all over the state.

The following informa-
tion comes from Mr. C. L.
Shride, a lily man from
Washington State: One of
the best plantsmen that I
have known said plants
should be reset with the
same compass directions.
When a tree is dug for you
in the nursery, mark the
north side and replant it
the same way. If you have a
geranium growing in a tin
can on a window sill lean-
ing toward the light, do not
confuse the poor plant by
2 THREE DAY QUAIL
SHOOTS SCHEDULED
IN OKLAHOMA SEASON
THIS YEAR
Oklahomans bagged
2,640,030 quail last year
during the hunting season,
an increase of 12 percent
over last year.
This year the figure
could be bigger. The quail
hunting season in the
Sooner state starts Novem-
ber 21 and goes through
Januray 14.
Hunting is permitted on
Tuesdays, Thursdays, and
Saturdays. But, hunting is
permitted on Christmas and
New Years Day and they
fall on Wednesdays this
season. So a lot of Okla-
homa nimrods will be hunt-
ing those consecutive days
as vacations.
The Bob-white is the
most popular quail in the
state’s 77 counties. How-
ever, the blue quail and
scale quail are found in the
southwestern and Panhandle
counties.
Estimates by the states
Conservation Department
showed that last year
108,209 persons hunted
quail in Oklahoma. Many
people feel, however, that
at least 250,0000klahomans
hunt quail one or more
times each season.

turning it daily to keep it
straight. The plant will do
better if you let it seek the
Light in its own way. Or
place a sheet of aluminum
foil behind it to reflect the
light which will keep it
upright.
If you are going to plant
roasting ear corn next
spring, plant it tip side
down, flat side parallel with
the rows.
