: HOW 1Hf'f GO FOR fHAf
BALANCED FLAVOR

Willis Harden, of the Commerce, Ga. Hardens, is not a sentimentalist. He's the kind of fellow who likes to hear a bobwhite whistle in the spring and summer, and who can shoot and eat him in the winter.
He's also the kind of sportsman we all like to write about. Mr. Harden was personally supervising work in his peach orchards recently and discovered two nesting _quail t hat had been disturbed by
pi'cking operations. A wagon had come perilously close to wrecking the first nest,
breaking one egg and chasing off the hen quail. Mr. Harden dis patc~ed a picker to t he scene with orders to mark the nest and notify all
workers to give t he location a wide berth. "The bird failed to return t hat day," Mr. Harden said, "and I came
close to taking the eggs to an incubator. But I decided to wait. Another day went by and she had not returned by noon."
Mr. Harden concluded that it was too late by then and marked off the 14 eggs as that many lost birds. He returned on the morning of the third day and was greeted by an empty nest. No, the nest had not been destroyed by predators. The hn quail had successfull y hatched a
brood and led the m away fr om the scene. The other nest was in t he middle of extensive operations, an,d the
hen deserted after seeing a white sheet stretched over a tree to serve as a marker. Mr. Harden had the sheet removed and assigned a picker to stand nearby and direct disturbing traffic aro und the clump of weeds concealing the clutch. Two days elapsed before the bird returned.
Latest word was that she was sitting tight and Harden was ex-
pecting another covey. "Moving those peaches was im)>ortant," he admitted, "and they
were (ancy and going for top prices. But hatching those quail meant
more to me." If everybody had the same appreciation of the bobwhite quail,
hunting him would be a more enchanting and everlasting pleasure.

Joy Scout's Race Was No Fluke

When Joy Scout, Bill Satterthwait's irrepressible young pointer,

knocked off Agrippa in the Amateur Derby race during the spring

trials of the Atlanta Field Trial Club, he convinced all observer s that

he could run all over America. Satterthwait was unabl e to conceal h is

!nthusiasm over the future of his rambunctious rambler.

And now he has reason to believe

that Joy Scout is on his way to

fame in t he field trial game. Maybe

this season, but soon, anyway.

Listen to the words of W. D. Lan-

ingham, who is working the two-

year-old in. Monitoba's prairies:

"Jake (Joy Scout) seems to won-

der if there is n't some place larger

th.an Canada, where he could s how

you how big he can run. His in-

tensity really registers; he's point-

ing well and loves game. I could

JOY SCOUT IN CANADA

write a book on him, as ( like him

more than any dog I've ever blown a whistle over."

Lanny hints strongly that the junior all-age star in Satterthwait's

string has big things ahead of him. He also is "high" on Lucky Draw,

a pupil that is finished on game, and Big Lucky, a young derby son

of Tarheelia's Lucky Strike.

Satterthwait hopes that his string will produce from six. to eight

".hopefuls." Jud ging from Laningham 's detailed descriptions he should

have them at the end of this year.

The Atlanta trainer, nearing the end of his first summer in Canada,

is also optimistic over some of his gun dogs, owned by Jim Ison, For-

rest Adair, J oe Reynolds and Chick Kimball, WSB's old maestro who

like "Singing Sam," is retired to the farm down J onesboro way.

'Uncle Ulie' Can't forget
Sportsmen around Sandersville and Washington county, Ga., have awarded the alibi championship to Horace (Uncle Ulie) Sheppard. They won't let "Uncle Ulie" forget his trip to Watertown, S. D., last fall.
Enroute to the shooting area pheasants were running all over the road. "Uncle Ulie," a crack quail shot, asked what the limit was and insisted that he needed no more than that many shells.
His party, including Howell Thomas, Dr. E. G. Newsome and Cleo Archer, stopped their car on t he edge of a wheat field and surrounded several cock birds. They gave "Uncle Ulie" the first shot. A big chink rose and bolted straight down the road. "Uncle Ulie" emptied his autoloader and t he bird continued his journey into the next county.
"He's flying with his heart shot out," the Sandersville marksman argued. " If t.hey can do that I'll just have to s hoot off their heads."
He must have done it thereafter, for he got his limit. But those five misses still worry "Uncle U lie." And the boys keep him on defense.
