A fine outlook for the hunting sea-
son in Bedford county is seen in the
big flocks of wild turkeys, the killing
of which will be allowed in Pennsyl-
vania next fall after a couple of years’
closed season. All kinds of game, with
the exception of quail seem plent-
ful there. The lumbermen and far
mers in Berford county have been
putting out food for the birds in the
winter and protecting heir ness in
