Local Conservation League Plans to Boost Game Supply
The Local Conservation League will stock streams with quail and plant wild fowl this summer. About 60 to 70 quail will come from the Iowa Conservation Commission next month, with some released on cooperative farmer fields and others cared for by members this winter for spring release. Last year similar stocking on Jones county farms yielded higher quail numbers. Chucker partridge may be planted, and last year 1350 channel catfish and 600 bass were stocked in Maquoketa, with plans to repeat this fall. A wading pool may be built in the creek at Paul Petersen’s farm, and a future league picnic there is discussed.
