LITTLE seoar'

July has been temperamental this season. . . a combination of lowering cloud, high, cold winds, torrential downpours of rain with a seasoning of hall and soft warm days when sparkling blue wave- lets broke on sands as soothing to ones body as a hot water bottle. She relented during the last week and gave us weather such as we expect during mid-summer. Au- gust now has taken over control and after mid-month we may expect a fall like atmosphere to develop. Evenings and nights are tangy and the cloud skud takes on a wild ap- lpearance as if taking flight from 'the frost legions.

August is the month when we itake stock of our Hun crop. Farm- ,ers have completed haying, or ,nearly so, and the cuveys of part.- lridge have been spotted in the pro- cess. The outlook is encouraging at the moment. One farmer has re- ported three covcys averaging 16 to 18 birds each on the front section of his farm with at least one covey at the rear of his holdings. These !c0vcys were rcportcd about 10 days 'ugo and since then we have had ;some nasty squalls. For instance. on iTuesday of this iweck a belt of rain and hail several miles wide swept over Montague and across Queens County in fl line with Lyn-iale and Hazclbrook.

The squall lasted approximately 25 minutes and after it was over cart boxes in farmcrs' yards held six or eight inches of ice in the form of sizable hail stones. Housewives took advantage of the opportunity and dug out ice cream freezers to give their men folk a treat. To what extent such squalls cut down on our Hun and Pheasant crop re- mains to be seen but some- losses from drowning and exposure are bound to occur. Farmers have re- ported losses among young chick- ens caught in the open by this tor- rential rain-fall but. mothers in the wild have a sort of sixth sense that prompts them to take their charges under cover before the storm breaks. Time is ii factor that can- not be overlooked and if suitable cover is not at hand they are some- times caught napping. By the first

nouncement may be expected re- gardlng our Hungarian partridge and pheasant. prospects for the current shooting season which 0- pens on October 10th.
