PROTECT THE DEER
In Order to Get Maximum Amount of
Venison.

While Is states will have no big
game hunting this year because dee
have been so reduced that the season il
closed, there are 33 other states accord
ing TO the U. S, department OF agricul
ture which will have an open season fol
deer hunting This season ranges from
days in New Jersey and 6 days il
Massachusetts and Vermont, to two
months or more in some of the southern
states.
These seasons will open in August
in Oregon and in most parts OF Califor-
mia; in September in the rest of Califor'
mia and in Idaho, South Carolina, and
Virginia. in October in Maine, New
Hampshire, New York, Georgia, Montana,
Wyoming, Washington, Nevada, Arizona,
and New Mexico; in November in Mich.
igan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and seeral
of the southern states; and in December
in Pennsylvania. In about one-third OF
the states the law allows the hunter
one deer year and in most Others, two.
The department of agriculture urges
all persons to cooperate to secure the
best possible protection of deer so as to
get the maximum amount of venison as
a source of meat.
1t is estimated that about $4,000 deer
are killed legally in the United States
each year. These produce nearly TO-
100000 pounds of venison. The biologi.
cal survey of the United States depart
ent of agriculture says that this num-
Der of deer can be very largely increased,
since only two or three states produce
more than 10000 deer a year and many
less than 1000. When LOO deer are
in a state as densely populated
rs Massachusetts, it should not be dif-
icult, says the department, to increase
he total in the other states by at least
IS per cent. Every pound of venison
brought in from the woods should be !
made to save pound of beef, mutton |
II pork raised on ranch or farm.
The cooperation of game commission
RS, conservation associations and other
organizations is requested by the depart
nent as an aid in securing accurate re-
'orts of the number of deer killed in
ach state this year. Such reports should
rove of value for comparison with the
eturns from other years and may tell
rhether the number of deer annually
AIKEN in any state may be increased
'ithout impairing the breeding stock.
