DON'T WANT DEER
IN SUSSEX COUNTY
Glendale Farmer "Aging The Prop
OsitiOn TO Turn Deer Out by
Game Wardens For Experiment.

George Cobaugh speaks his opin-
ion of the proposition in the follow
ing letter to the Milford Chronicle
for publication.-Editor.
He says:
Why should the game wardens oil
Delaware pick upon Sussex county
as a place to turn out deer to be-
come pests to the farmers, and at
the same time receive protection by
the State?
Farmers have enough pests TO de-
stroy their crops without this new
addition, from Pennsylvania or
other points, to ruin crop in a
single night; which is what is hap
pening now to farmers of that state,
along the protected reservation OF
protection for deer.
This is no dream Of mine, as
have friends who are farmers and
can testify to the facts.
| appeal TO fellow farmers in Del
aware to write to their Representa-
tives i'm the Delaware Legislature,
and protest the turning of Ring
neck PheasantS, deer and other
pests out to destroy our crops.
Delaware is small in area and has
no wild hills of land where deer
could range, The cover for pheas-
ants is not to be found in such abun-
dance IN any part of Delaware to
produce wild game of this kind, and
the farmers now have sufficient in
the red fox nuisance, to destroy
poultry and quail without adding
!. deer or pheasants to their troubles.
| have heard friends say in Penn
usylvania, that they would be glad IL
every ringneck pheasant in Somer-.
set County, was exterminated. These
same people said that the ringnecks
destroy the eggs and nests of the
native pheasants in Pennsylvania,
and do the same TO the native quail
birds of that state.
The importation of western rab-
bits to Pennsylvania brought disease
and that resulted in lessening the
number OF native rabbits.
So called sportsmen from the cit
les pay the state license to hunt
in Delaware, and then they COME in,
and sometimes out of season. tres
pass upon farm lands without leave
of owners, shoot indiscriminate
either game or poultry in some in
stances. why should farmers per-
nit this injustice?
When farmers enter cities with
truck Or auto they must comply
with rules and regulations made for
government of the city. Delaware
must provide laws to protect the.
farmers, and then enforce the laws.
Protect our native birds all of
which are insect destroyers and
consume much of the weed seeds
during the winters.
Those who reside in cities are
welcome to fish in our streams, in
season, and hunt under regulations
of our laws; but for Gods sake, do
not ask farmers of Sussex, or any
other part Of the Delaware, to carry
the load Of growing deer or ring
neck pheasants. There are neither
forests or wild lands sufficient to af-
ford range or feed for deer, and the
ringneck pheasant is real pest.
GEORGE COBAUGH.
Glendale, Del.
