A ringneck pheasant nest at Mary Ftowler’s Rainbow Drive fruit farm held 13 eggs last Sunday. Seven eggs were carried off by a thief or predator, a quail laid an eye in the nest to compensate, and Deputy Game Warden Tom Waldron will remove the remaining eyes for hatching. Waldron can be reached at 4954 in Waterloo and will guard nests from destruction. The note adds a later passage on pheasants aiding agriculture, recalling March remarks by ex New York secretary C. S.
