The flat tailed beaver has
drawn a great deal of criticism
from landowners throughout the
state, and Prince Edward is no
exc ept ion. The complaint
against the beaver is that they
destroy timber. both by gnaWing
it down for their own purposes,
and by making it Inaccessible
with their dams and ponds.
They eat the bark and cut up
the wood into lengths for con-
structlon of their dams and
lodges They prefer sweet
gum, birch and maple, but
they'll take on many other spe-
cies. particularly young pine.
There is but one way to get

kill them. You can destroy their
habitats but they will build them

There was never much of a
problem with the beaver up I'M
til several years ago, due TO the
excessive trapping Of the ami
mails by fur seekers. who would
make as much as $40 a pelt.
Due to the low price the bea-
YER pelts bring now $3.50. it is
hardly worth a mans time to
trap the animals as they can
hardly come out ahead at this
price. To be successful. the trap

Dry Woods Bring
Fire Warning

Carelessness and violation
of the 4 pm. burning law
have caused ten fires in
Prince Edward County dur
ing the past three weeks,
Jack DOwdy. county forest
warden, said this morning.
He urged everyone to exer-
else extre me caution es-
pecially while the woods are
so dry and the winds high,
and he warned that any VIC
lation Of the 4 pm. burning
law would be prosecuted.
The law states that brush
burning fires cannot be light
ed xcept from 4 pm. to
midnight, and the law is ef-
fective until May Is.
Forest fires have been
started by backyard burn
ing, smokers, brush burning
and just plain carelessness,"
Dowdy said, emphasizing
the word careIessness. He
said forest fire fighters have
been fortunate so far in be-
ing able to stop most Of the
fires before they reached
dangerous proportions. The
largest acreage lost in a
single fire was Is acres near
Rice.
