THE DEER MAY DRIVE HIM OUT.
There is one man up in Aroostook county
who doesn't want any more protection Oh
deer. He says they are eating his grain and
that with too many deer and too many ap-
preparations. he feels discouraged. ibis is
the letter he has written to Senator ShaW:
Hon. r. W. Shaw, Augusta;
Dear Sir-I thought would write you
today and ask if you think there will be
one-half of the appropriations that are
asked for granted. If it is so am going to
step out. What do the people of Aroostook
want to appropriate $4,000 for the fish and
game, for now where live the deer are SO
plenty that they destroy the crops and the
farmers dare not shoot them; II they 90
they will be fined; put sportsmen will sly IN
with dogs, chase the deer through our grain
in the back fields. shoot what they want
and off before any one is the wiser. Let the
state look out for its deer or else let the
farmers have chance at them"

enterprises on their fine water power, nave
