FARMERS Complain.

That conservation really conserves
IL evidenced in a letter received by
aRae conservation commission from a
resident of AvOca asking that some
body be appointed by the state to
Eaye charge of the herds of deer in
Rkchland county.
One herd of thirty in the neighbor-
hDcd. of this petitioner is somewhat
@f a nuisance to farmers as the ami
mails have little respect for line fences
sGRd rather fancy appetites for young,
growing crops, a combination that is
dTscOuraging to the agriculturist at
GSmeS. And so he has asked that the
state, having enacted law protecting
deer in that county all the year round,
measure up now to it's responsibility
and provide caretaker for its wards.
Heretofore similar complaint has
come from Sank county, where deer
also are protected at all times and a
resident of Daraboo notified the COM
mission that he had found a doe en-
tangled in wire fence and somewhat
xnjured. He asked permission to keep
and care for it until it RECEIVERS. The
permission was granted, but no steps
have been taken to appoint guardian
Cor the Richland county herds.
