RamseyPark
Buffalo Herd
ToBe Reduced
MAYOR GETS MATTER
SETTLED; STATE TO
GIVE AWAY FOUR

Ramsey parks buffalo herd will
be reduced to three or four and
the remaining animals given away
to other ZOOS, a letter from Harold
Lathrop, director of the division
of state parks, to Mayer J. c. Bu-
dix of Redwood Falls indicates.
The letter was in reply to DR.
Budik's communication to Fred
Denfeld, director of the state di-
vision of public property.
Two weeks ago Denfeld gave
the newspapers story asking any
communities wanting free buffalo
to write to him, as the state had
nine in the two parks which j:
wanted to get rid OF because it had
no funds to feed them.
DR.. Budik told Denfeld en-
phatically that years back Red
wood Falls paid for buffalo for the
park. Descendants comprise the
seven buffalo in Ramsey park, as
well as those in Itasca park. Fur
thermore, the mayer added, the
city and generous farmers have
fed the buffalo for three years and
will continue to do so.
Meanwhile, Denfield received sc
letters from cities all over Mime
sofa, and even some from MaSSa-
chusetts, Kansas, New Jersey and
North Dakota, offering to take the
buffalo off his hands.
So he put the matter in La
throp's hands.
Lathrop replied as follows:
"You will recall at our meeting at
the golf club last summer,
stated that l was DESTROYS of see
ing the buffalo removed from the
lower fiat, where they now pas
ture, in order that this area might
be used for picnicking, because CT
the limited areas now existing
along the river.
II have always felt that the buff
falo have been responsible for the
badly eroded condition of the hill
sides within the pasture, which
am deSirous of having replanted
to give a natural effect. This
would call for moving the buffa-
10 to the pasture new occupied by
the deer, which is somewhat limit
ed in size for these large animals.
Il appreciate that the City and
people of Redwood Falls have met
the need of feeding these buffalo
but that is not the only problem
as stated above.
at is my opinion, a five-year
old bull, a six-year old cow and a
calf will give representative
showing of these animals, ir
which the public are so interest
ed.
ITO continue to let the here
increase in size, which calls TO
additional work on the part of ou
park superintendent, in the wa,
of feeding them and hauling feed
is only making it impossible t,
give the park its best supervision
and maintenance"
