Deer Yards Empty

LANSING, Dec. 24-The sea-
sons unusual early snow has no
where been deep enough to drive
deer into their winter yarding
areas, according to l, H Bartlett,
conservation department deer in
vesigator.
Deer normally enter the yards
early in January, when there
may be about a foot of snow In
northern lower Michigan and one
and a half to two feet in the up
per peninsula. The date deer en-
ter the yards is significant be-
cause the winter food available in
some swamps is limited, and too
long a browsing season in the
yards means starvation for the
younger and weaker animals.
Snow throughout the deer
range for the full two weeks of
deer season provided the best
tracking in years, but did not
hinder deer movement. 1t did
force a change in deer feeding
habits, so that deer appeared
scarce near some established
camps that had had good hunt
ing in earlier seasons, andg ap.
peared more plentiful elsewhere.

Cornell back in 1912 and was
victorious. Seton Hall defeated
the local five last season in New

no defeats and will gain much
prestige If they turn back these
two foes.
