Stocking Pheasants

i To the members of the Rap-i pahannock Game Club and citi! zens of the county:

Mr. Hart, of the Virginia State Game Farm, visited our county on Feb. 23 to select a site for stocking pheasants. Several sites were inspected and the one chosen was the farm of Mr. Bernard Dahlgren located between Flint Hill and Huntly. The site was select ed for water, cover, feed strips, and acreage. Mr. Hart informed us that our county would be furnished with 100 pheasants this spring withpossibility of more next spring. The stocking will take place! sometime in April. These pheasants will be for stocking pup, | poses only, therefore every-1 ; one is asked for their coopera tion in helping to see that they are not killed. The Club has also ordered 16 pair quail and one dozen rabbits for stocking this year.
