Report Made of Deer
Age-Weight Study

A report of the deer age and
weight study during the 1855 season
has been released by biologists of
the State Fish and Game commits
sion.
Biologists were present at six
checking stations located in Gar
rett Allegany, Washington. Cecil
and Worcester counties. AS the
deer were brought in they were
weighed and their age was deter
mined by tooth replacement and
wear based on methods developed
in 1949 by Dr. Severinghaus, we'll
known deer biologist of New York
State.
A total of 2,269 deer were regis
tered during the season of which
Alb were weighed and their ages
determined. The age and weight to-
gether with the date and county
were recorded for each deer and
later compiled.
The data accumulated from deer
examined during the 1855 hunting
season has been partially analysed.
Cecil county deer are the heaviest
of the three regions studied while
those of Worcester county are the
lowest in weight. Cecil county also
has the greatest proportion of
young deer in the herd indicating
a higher production of young deer
than ir Wodcester county which
has the lowest production of young
deer. In Western Maryland the
average weight for deer from 16
to II months old was 104 pounds,
for 10 months Ill pounds, and for
30 months, 122 pounds.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1956-07-05

V. F. Flyer of the State Games
division, makes the following OBJ
serVationS:
One method of determining how
close the deer are to the carrying
capacity of their locality is to eX-
anime the habitat and the extent
of browse. This method requires a
great expenditure of time and eff
fort. Without a very careful APP
praisal the amount of deer brows-
ing is not readily apparent until
the danger point has been reached
and browse line appears. A more
satisfactory method for estimating
the balance between the deer and
their environment is to let the deer
speak for themselves. The age com
age weights of deer reflect the re-
lationShip of the deer to their en-
vironment. AS the herd begins to
become overcrowded the average
size of deer of various age groups
becomes smaller. The overcroWded
herd also has a lower percentage
of young deer than does the herd
that is not so crowded.
Since Maryland's first deer sea
son in 1882 when IS deer were re-
ported shot, the legal kill has
gradually increased until 1850 deer
were shot in 1855. This increasing
yearly kill primarily reflects the
growth of the Maryland deer herd.
The deer herd cannot keep on
growing forever. If the herd in
creases too much it may consume
more than the yearly production
of its food plants. AS result of too
large herd the region may end
up being able to support a con-
siderably smaller herd than would
have been possible if the deer had
been prevented from eating them

Animals Needed For
Four Summer Plays

Since members of the Garrett
County Playhouse company have
arrived here, they have started a
talent search among the animal
kingdom.
Four of the plays to be produced
this summer include in the scripts
parts for cat, whitefish, two dogs,
chicken and a snake
Gene Yell director of the Gar
rett County Playhouse, said every
member of the company will take
part in auditioning the menagerie
which will appear in Bell, Book
and Candle" The Tender Trap"

Three Angels"
He thinks his company of pro-
fessional and professionals

co.'s University Theatre is capable

local animal kingdom to appear in
the four shows.
John Van Druten's comedy of a
witch in love, Bell, Book and
Candle" calls for talented felix
domesticus. The whitefish plays
an important part in Max Shul-
mans Aladdin's dream of the life
of bachelor in the big city, The
Tender Trap"
Two smooth-coated CANNES are
needed for Hartley Manners Peg
O. My Heart" a drama of poor
Irish girl who suddenly becomes
an heiress. A chicken and a snake
play prominent roles in MY Three
Angels" the story of trio of an
gelic rogues who commit mayhem
and madness in bringing good for
tune to modest family in penal
colony
Wit and fun are outstanding
characteristics of the four plays
slated for summer production at
the Garrett County Playhouse.
Drama, farce and mystery are
also included in the other plays
which will complete the 1856 sea
son. They are George Kellys The
Show-Off," j. B. Priestley's An
Inspector Calls" and Angel
Street" by Patrick Hamilton.
In addition to the members of
the 1855 company, several new
faces will appear in the produc-
tions this summer. They are Rom

Morris and Myron Herrick.
Miss WEIGH, in addition to her
acting duties, will be in charge of
props; Robert Morris, technical di-
rector and Myron Herrick as bust

Important that Belt
Tension Be Correct

Belt tension or tightness is a
critical factor in the life of a belt
and efficient operation of the
equipment, reminds G. w. Gicnger,
extension agricultural engineer at
the University of Maryland. 1t may
be too tight or too loose, he said
A loose belt will wear out quick
ly because of slippage; too tight
a belt may ruin bearings, reduce
belt life and waste power Flat
belts ON close coupled equipment
should have a tension of approx
mately 40 pounds of pull per inch
of width of belt
V-belts require less tension. One
should be able to depress the v
belt at least half inch midway
between pullcys. An appreciable
sag on long belts is desirable be-
cause the weight creates the ten
sion.
When belts slip, the cause may be
too narrow a belt, pulleys of too
small a diameter, too stiff a belt
or not enough tension.
Leather belts should always be
run with the hair side to the pull
ley and nothing should ever be
used on them except neatsfoot oil

selves out of house and home.
The ideal management situation
would be to keep the deer herd at
the point permitting the maximum
harvest. This point is difficult to
determine accurately and probably
fluctuates to a large extent 1t is
worthwhile to try TO keep the herd
at this level because the deer have
the greatest recreational value at
this point, yet they have ample
food and cause less damage to
farm crops or forest plantations
than occurs when the deer are
overcrowded.

Senate Cloakroom
By J. GLENN BEALL
United States Senator from
Maryland

While thousands of Independ-
ence Day speeches echo through
the land, our great Free State can
feel iustifiably proud that it is
again matching patriotic words
with deeds.
refer specifically to Maryland's
participation in the Freedom Cru
SADIE, the nationwide letter-writing
campaign designed to help obtain
the release of eleven Americans
being held prisoners by the Chinese
communists
Americanism Demonstrated
Quite a few of our Free State
citizens have said that they have
written to the Red government in
Paking, asking Chairman Mao Use
tung to free the missionaries and
businessmen who are still in COM
munist jails.
There could be no finer example
of true Americanism.
Actually, by writing such letters
in behalf of their fellow citizens,
participants in the Freedom Cru
SADIE are demonstrating vividly that
a pledge made in the Continental
Congress on July a, 1776, has not
been forgotten.
That promise-the last words of
the Declaration of Independence
was:
we mutually pledge to each
other our Lives, our fortunes and
our sacred Honor"
Newsmen Aid Campaign
Such unity was vital to the life
of our new nation.
1t is no less necessary today.
Through the Freedom Crusade,
Americans are reaffirming their
faith in the bond which was estab-
lished so strongly 1870 years ago.
Many Marylanders joined the
Crusade after reading about it in
the Baltimore Catholic Review"
Thousands more learned of it
through Louis Azrael's widely
read newspaper column, and
through the cooperation of other
newsmen in the State.
Marylander in Group
Remember, one of the Red
prisoners is from our own Free
State.
He is the Rev. Paul j. Macken-
sen, Jr., a Lutheran missionary
from Baltimore.
To try to help him and the other
Americans, write to Chairman Mao
Tse-tung; Picking, China request
ing in a courteous manner that the
prisoners be returned to freedom.
The Very Rev. Harold w. Rig
ney, S.V.D., who originated the
Freedom Crusade, has urged that
the letters be sent airmail because
the misinformed Chinese will be
astonished to see that so many
Americans can afford it."
