Large Things Things Gro'0
From, Small Start

Oak trees from little acorns
grow, but who would ever think
that a 69-pound pumpkin could
grow from little flat seed about
half an inch long? However, that's
just what happened here in Askov
and the seed was planted by the
late Ludwig Mosbak.
Carl Eckberg's word is bond for
the mammoth garden vegetable
which measures Is inches long and
81 inches around. The large pump
kin was given to Mr.. Eckberg by
Mr.. and Mrs. M. B. McGurk, who
assisted the late Mr.. Mosbak with
his garden during the growing sea-
son. Anyway the thing would
make a good Halloween face for
a Paul Bunyan celebration of the
annual spook night.

Deer Season To
|Open November
Is For Ii Days
Ten Counties and Part of
Eleven Others Designated
as Hunting Ground.

The Minnesota deer and bear hunt
ing season will open on November
Is, to continue through the 25th in
all of ten counties and parts of eleven
others, according to Director Harry
E. Speakes of the division of game
and fish.
This is the statutory season pro-
simply provided for the designation
of the boundary between open and
closed territory.
The open territory includes all of
Lake, Cook, st. Louis, Koochiching,
Itasca, Lake of the Woods, Beltrami,
Clearwater, Hubbard and Roseau
counties; those portions of Kittson,
Marshall, Pennington, Red Lake, Polk,
Mahnomen and Becker counties lying
east of the 500 line railroad from
the north of Kittson to the south of
Becker counties; that portion of Cass
county north of a line drawn from
the northern boundaries of Wadena
and Crow Wing counties; that portion
of Aitkin county north of line from
the west boundary of Aitkin between
townships 40 and so, east to the 500
line railroad, and thence along the
railroad into Carlton county to Moose
Lake. Carlton county is open north
of the 500 line railroad, and east
of Highway No. 81, and Pine county
is open east of Highway No. 81.

east of Buyck, and will be definitely

which are opened at the recommen-
dalton of the United States Forestry
Service, all game refugees and state
parks remain closed to hunting.
Before the open and closed deer
territory was decided upon, careful
survey of the entire deer territory
had been made, and a summary of
all reports received indicated that
deer are numerous and increasing in
number throughout the greater por-
ton of the deer range, and that deer
are extending their range to the south
and southwest. 1t is to protect this
extending herd that the border ter
ritory is closed, according to Mr.
Speakes.
The survey indicates that there are
approximately two does to each buck
in the greater portion of the deer
range Deer of both sexes may be
taken.
At least half of the deer herd, &C
cording to the survey, will have to be
artificially fed, if winter conditions
are severe, and only small portion
of the deer herd could be reached
with artificial feeding.
The report indicates that the en-
tire deer population of Minnesota
may conservatively be placed at 300,-
900 head. The average number of
deer taken during the past five open
seasons, since 1882 is 1886 head,
while game management technicians
estimate that from $4,000 to $4,000
could be taken this year without af-
fecting the normal increase.
