Disking has been shown to greatly increase quail food plants on ungrazed areas the first year following disking. On areas not protected from grazing cattle seek out disked places and destroy most of the quail food plants. The planned management of quail on the Charlotte County area revolves primarily around winter grazing, controlled burning and removal of cattle during the quail food growing Newly released deer browse in a protected area. During the spring and summer of 1948 an experiment with arti- ficial feeding of wild quail was conducted. Results of this study appear to justify an enlargement of the experiment to investigate the possibility that artificial feeding by means of automatic feeders may be the most effective means of increasing quail food on the Charlotte County Area. Since the beginning of the Charlotte County study, analysis has been made of the crop contents of more than 1,600 quail. Most of these birds were obtained from hunting lodges in Charlotte County. In addition, 5,924 quail have been examined for sex and age. Information resulting from the latter study is extremely useful in evaluating breeding success as correlated with weather, hunting pressure, and other factors. The results of the three year Charlotte County Quail Investigation will be published in 1949. * 50 *.
