REPORT OF MONTANA FISH AND GAME COMMISSION 



13 



"The reports I got concerning these birds early in the summer were 

 that thev were nesting and apparently getting along all right. 



"0. W. BELDEN. Lewistown." 



"One pair of birds has hatched and raised a Hilock of fifteen. 



"JOSEPH SMITH, II.. Deer Lodge." 



"From the best information I can gather the birds are doing fine. 



"SEx\. J. E. FOSTER, Harlowton." 



"Regarding the partridges. I saw the party the other day on whose 

 farm I liberated them and he informed me that there were twenty 

 young birds in one bunch. I am glad to hear this. I did not expect 

 there would be any hatchings this spring from them. 



"L. W. BUSCH, Baker." 



"I saw a bunch of young birds with some old ones, probably 20 

 young ones. "E. J. HIRSHBERG. Choteau." 



"I am very glad to report that the Hungarians are doing fine. 



"We have coveys of young birds with 14 in them. This is far beyond 

 my expectations from these birds after the long trip they made and 

 the condition they were in when they came. We are guarding them 

 very closely and have them in an ideal country. 



"I think this is the best bird you could possibly get and would 

 recommend that vou get all vou can of them. 



"W. R. WILCOXSON, Great Falls." 



"Our actual records wth the Hungarian Patridges, up to this date 

 show: with five hens that we have checked, these hens have by careful 

 count 74 young, healthy birds following them, one lien has 19 young; 

 we think this is going to be a much better bird for us than the 

 pheasant. "FRED B. WILLIAMS, Bozeman." 



"Twenty-five Hungarian Patridges were released on our ranch and 

 we are constantly running across these birds. Only last week we saw 

 a covey of about twenty young ones. 



"EDITH A. KASSING, Superintendent State Vocational School for 



Girls, Helena." 



"At both places where these birds were liberated, I got very favor- 

 able reports. They have been seen frequently, and in one of the places 

 two broods of young ones have been noticed. 



"D. G. STIVERS, Butte."
