Center 3 St. Shavers wn : The Poisylinnia Game Commission will end "its program of raising and stocking bobwhite quail due to a severe shortage of funds and because the program is not producing the desired results. And in another move to save money, the Commission has reduced the number of pheasants which will be pur- chased for release this year. Quail have been part of the Game Commission’s propagation program since 1931. Over the years, hundreds of thousands of these game birds have been hatched and raised at the Eastern Game Farm near Schwenksville, Montgomery County, and then released for the enjoyment and utilization by sportsmen and the general public. Annually, between 5,000 and 10,000 quail have been stocked in the state by the Game Commission. While sportsmen bagged a few of these fine game birds during the fall hunting seasons, there is little evidence that the releases resulted in establishment of populations in desirable areas. Therefore, since the program is not ef- fective in enhancing quail populations or. hunting op- portunities, it will be aban- doned. Bobwhite quail are not found in large numbers: in the state, which is on the northern fringe of their natural range and habitat. On the east coast, the birds are much more abundant in states south of Pennsylvania. The quail now on hand at the Eastern Game Farm will be released in the spring to culminate the phasing out of the program. Facilities now used in quail propagation will be converted where possible for use in expanding pheasant production. Annually ringneck pheasants are purchased by the Game Commission from commercial breeders and released for utiliaztion by hunters. This year the financial limitations have made it necessary to trim the number of birds to be purchased 018,000. Attempts will be made to produce more birds at Commission operated game farms to offset this reduction. Several years ago when the Game Commission asked the legislature to increase hunting license fees so that services to the sportsmen could continue without interruption. Legislative delays in in- creasing license fees have forced severe curtailment or total elimination of a number of the Game Commission's ac- tivities, and further reductions will have to be made if the Game Fund is to remain solvent.
