SEASON FOR DEER HUNTING
SHORTENED BY MONTH

The open season for hunting Gee.
has been changed by regulation ol
the Commissioner Of Conservation W
that the deer season in the northern
zone shall open October 10 ana c'ose
December 81; in the southern zone
the omen dates are between NoSem'
ber I and January Is. In each case
this new provision shortens the t'me
IN which deer may be hunted by one
month.
Commissioner Alexander believes tna'
this change will be considered SOM" IT,
thIns of a hardship on hunters i"
some sections, but that the cnahs.
Ia in the best interest OF spo''
throughout the State. The change
vas made necessary by conditions re-
,ulting from the overflow in "n'c Ct
a large number Of deer were 'os|'
despite the utmost efforts OF the De-
nartment of Conservation to save
them. This made 1t necessary 10
shorten the season to make up, IN a
measure, the loss Of this big game
animal. Huntsmen in sections where
the overflow did not affect the deel
NAV consider that the restricted sea-
,on IA q hardship, but 1t is believed
that real sportsmen everywhere Will
cheerfully accept the law as a neces
sary move to protect the interest Of
deer hunters throughout the state.

beef three fish each and four leaves
of white bread. Shoes and stockings,

trees, causing weakening or death OF
such trees. AS a rule 1t Is weak
ened tree that Is most likely to sufrer
injury.
Since the pest thrives best In weak
or dying trees or limbs, keep all Or
chard prunings removed from the Or
chard. In the nursery avoid the use
of leftover trees for filling draws
and the like alongside the growing
stock. Remove and burn trees which
are too seriously injured by the pest
to be saved. In the orchard prompt
~ prune out affected limbs and de-
strOy them. The regular summer
sprays with arsenate of lead and lime
sulphur for fruit insects will tend to
repel this pest where spraying Is
thoroughly done.
