HOMER PIGEONSAHE
BEING KILLED NEAR
BELIE Bl HUNTERS
OUT OF ON EHUNDRED BIRDS IN
TRAINING AT SOUTHER FIELD,
ONL YTHIRTY-TVVO ARE STILL
ALIVE.
A large number of pigeons are now
being housed and trained at the air
service flying school at Souther Field,
near Americus, and a number of ffiese
pigeons have already been shot by
careless and thoughtless hunters.
The Times-Recorder ras informa
tion to the effect that one hundred
of these birds were brought to Amer
icus only a short time ago, and that
out of this number only thirty-two are
now alive and in training there. The
birds are sent up with flyers, and af
ter being carried varying distances
from the field here are released and
sent to their cages with messages
from the airmen. Sometimes these
messages are of utmost importance
in addition to the training received by
the pigeons, which are baddly needed
at the front in France.
Several of these pigeons, it is known
have been killed unwittingly by hunt
ers, and in other instances, it is be
lieved their destruction was deliberate
and intended. Because of these inci
dents, Major Carlisle N. ash, com
manding officer at Souther Field, re
quests all hunters to exercise the
greatest care in shooting pigeons and
to refrain fro mhunting near Souther
Field. In case an injured pigeon is
captured anywhere in this whole sec
tion, the individual finding such bird
is requested to communicate the fact
immediately t 0 headquarters, Souther
Field.
