Pheasants

Getting ready for 450 Baby Pheasants

Roberts, May 23 --(PDR)-- On Saturday, members of the Ford County Sportsmen's club erected a brooder house on the Eli McNeil lots at the east end of Main street, in preparation for 450 baby pheasants, which will arrive from the state hatcheries the first of June. A wire fence has been erected and within the enclosure a space has been prepared in the blue grass sod where rape and sunflower seeds have been sown. The brooder house is eight feet in width and sixteen feet in length.
