AFTERNOON ADDRESS.
The address by Linus Leavens. State
fish and game commissioner Of Cam
bridge, on "Minimizing Deer Injury"
proved Of exceptional interest to all prop
erty owners as It dealt with the claim
laws and other protective measures which
benefit the farmers. The address. in part,
follows:
by virtue of birth. business relations
and personal tastes, the commissioner
is In touch with the men who till the
soil. In business life, as a country mer-
chant. has believed his customers inter-
ests were Identical with his own. In
charge of funds provided by the sports
| men for the propagation and protection
of the wild life Of the State, the same
| rule applies.
THE interests Of the sportsmen and the
land owners are Identical. The immense
sum represented by its value as an addi-
| ton to our meat supply Of deer killed
in the past open season, plus the large
amount spent by the State, hotel and
transportation companies in advertising
| the game resources as an attraction to
tourists shows the public interest in these
matters.
Farmers and land owners are anxious
to maintain this breeding herd Of deer.
| Sportsmen are equally bound to consider
the rights of land owners.
| THE commissioner is not responsible
for the law: he is unable to change 1t;
is responsible for the duties imposed
upon him, and in matters of policy, and
| in the direction of his deputies must be
unprecedented and fair.
Section 8 of the fish and game laws
are designed to minimize and prevent
deer injury. One hundred and seven deer
have been killed under this section since
July ]. 1916. The most liberal interpreta-
ton possible has been given the law in
sections where deer are most numerous.
This section should be amended, giving
l
report deer killed. This law literally
interpreted will minimize damage done to
farm and garden crops, and to orchards
of limited area. No provision being made
by the Assembly of 1917 for paying deer
damage under section 8 of the fish and
|game laws. the commissioner has approved
paying from the funds Of his department.
This will serve to bring the department
and land owners into closer relations
