PINNATED GROUSE, OR “PRAIRIE CHICKEN” 
pinnated grouse straight over his ducking grounds toward, 
and evidently into, Iowa. The flight was high, continuous, 
and it followed what evidently was a genuine route of 
migration. 
Will Minnesota, the Dakotas and Nebraska act in time 
to save and bring back the prairie chicken? We are quite 
sure that Iowa will not; and we fear that it is now too late 
for Kansas to do so! 
AND HOW ABOUT THE QUAIL? 
Will the states that still shoot bob-white for sport and 
for meat stop the quail-hunters, their dogs and their auto¬ 
mobiles, in time to save him from extinction? Will the 
farmers of any state be so foolish as to any longer permit 
their best feathered friend and ally to be shot in their own
