Hunting Accidents
Increase in Sfufe

MISUNDERSTANDING fatalities in
Montana during the 1854 season
declined from the 1858 level but
non-fatal hunting accidents doub-
led for the same period, the Mon
tana Fish and Game Department
announced this week. The regular
1e54-55 hunting season extended
from Oct. is through Nov. Is al
though a few special areas re-
nnAined open through Feb. %.
The 1854 total shows Is hunting
accidents, four of which were IA
tai as compared with Is accidents
n the proceeding year, seven OF
which were fatal.
Teen-agers were directly con-
nected with five of the hunting ac-
eidents recorded in 1854, as COM
pared with four in 1858. The ma
jority of these occurred when the
youngsters were away from adult
supervision, department spokes-
man said.
Records point to big game rifles
as the most dangerous weapon, be-
ing responsible for all of the 1854
hunting fatalities, and all but one
IN 1858. A % caliber rifle took one
life in 1858.

trees. The trees are lower headed
than those in which the main
trunk is not cut back. The tree
does not grow as tall and thus
spraying, pruning, and harvesting
are made easier.
Remember that if the trees are
given proper pruning during these
first five years, little pruning, ex-
cept some corrective pruning will
be necessary during later years. An

Ducks Liked Sfufe's
Winter It'll Now

HELENA-Tabulat OF the
January inventory of waterfowl
in Montana indicate that the num-
Der of ducks and geese which
chose to remain in the state over
the winter is up Is per cent over
last year.
However, Wynn Freeman, assist
ant director of wildlife restora-
ton, pointed out that Montana's
winter waterfowl populations rep
resent only about one percent of
the total populations in the Cen
trail Flyway and that the increase
does not necessarily mean a gen
eral gain in waterfowl numbers.
| Mild open winter weather with
resulting improved food and water
conditions are believed to be gen
orally responsible for the increased
waterfowl populations, Freeman
said.
Although mallards made up
nearly 80 per cent of the states
wint ter waterfowl populations,
coots appear to be gaining in num-
bers with more than 100 per cent
Increase over last year. Particularly
large flocks of these birds were
observed in the Flathead area. An
increase in Canadian geese win
tering in Montana was also noted
Other species inventoried this
year included snow geese, whist
ling swan, canvas backs, golden
eye, winged teal and pin
tail. Pintails do not normally re-
main as far north as Montana dur
ing the winter, Freeman said.
| Under the direction of Ashton
Brann, U. S. Game Management
agent, the annual January water
| fowl census was conducted by
state federal fish and game Off
Gals and cooperating sportsmen al
part of the regular nation wide
inventory.
The object of this winter count
is to determine as closely as pos
sible the trend of waterfowl pop
ulations wintering on the contin-
! ent.

Lufe Winter, Good
Time for PRUNING

BOZEMAN-Late winter mon
tbs are good time Of the year to
prune apple and crabapple trees.
Since the first five years Of growth
of small tree is the time when
pruning is most important, intelli-
gent pruning during this time will
aid in developing tree with a
strong, sturdy framework. A well
developed tree will be able to stand
the rigors of weather better, and
will be capable of bearing heavy
crops of fruit without breakage of
limbs and branches.
It is always advisable to pur-
chase strong, one-year-old whip
trees to establish the new orchard.
If these are not available, then
a two-year-old, branched tree
would be a second choice. But do
not buy older trees because they
do not transplant as readily and
may already have developed bad
crotches.
When the young one-year-
whip tree is planted, cut it back to
a height of "a to 80 inches. If an
older tree is planted, remove as
/ much as so percent of the wood.
Do not cut it back indiscriminate-
ly, but rather cut out weak
branches right back to the main
trunk. Make clean cuts, and do not
leave stubs. The branches which
are to remain can be cut back to a
strong side bud. The wounds of
young, pruned trees do not have to
be painted over if they are less
than an inch in diameter.
In the prairie sections of the
state, it is desirable to train the
young tree to branch fairly low to
the ground to avoid sunscald in
jury. SunScald comes as a result OF
training a tree to a single trunk
The sun beating on this trunk, es-
pecially in late winter, causes SAP
to rise prematurely and a subse-
quent cold spell will cause freez-
ing and splitting of this bark. A
tree that is trained to branch fair
ly low to the ground suffers less
from sunsca1d injury.
The most desirable method OF
pruning and training is the devel-
opment of from three to five
strong scaffold or supporting
limbs. Any branches which devel-
op from the main trunk at tot
acute an angle should be removed
Leave only those which develop
strong U shaped crotches with thu
main trunk. AS soon as these MAR
scaffold limbs have been selected
the main leader is removed ane
cut back to just above the last o.
the scaffold limbs. This method O.
training is commonly referred t.
as the modified leader method O.
lpruning and it has been found mos

Marriages to Divorce
Number / to 81

HELENA-In 1852 and 1853 there
were more than 3A marriages re-
corded for every divorce in Mon
tana, the recently released 9th
biennial report of the State Board
of Health reveals.
Montana recorded 1889 divor-
ces and annulments in 1852 for a
rate of 80 per 1000 population
In 1858, 1896 divorces and annul-
ments were granted for a rate OF
81"
