The same holds true for some

Meanwhile, Col. Gilbert said
the 1861 program at Edgewood
brought the release of rabbits,

dition to the raising of 500 mall
lards. The Army Chemical Cen
ter also started food patch
planting and fire control pro-

raj wildlife sanctuaries for a
period of two years.
In 1862 Aberdeen patch

was conducted. One nest is

Pleased With Results
Haag says he is pleased with
the results Of the two years of
effort. He believes the quail and
rabbit population has doubled

of that. Rabbits are everywhere

sure on 1t. A third factor was
the feeding program instituted
by the Rod and Gun Club dur
ing periods Of heavy SHOWS.
Aberdeen'S conservation drive
got its start in 1861 under Gen
John Webber who commanded
the post at that time. He organ
lied the Wildlife Management
Committee. At first its CHIEF
objective was to see If some-
thing could be done to save
the water fowl. since Aberdeen
is on one Of the principal fly
ways.
The objectives Gen. Webber
gave the committee were to
plan projects, undertake long
range programs, establish liai-
son with Maryland and the In
terror Departments Fish and
Wildlife Service, and financing
The latter was particularly
important, Haag said, because
the Government provides little
money for such programs. AS a
matter Of fact, no appropriated
money has been used on any
thing the two posts have done
in this line. 1t has all come
from money raised by the two
Rod and Gun Clubs and some
from post special funds.
HeliOcOpter Survey Made
The first step after a joint
meeting with representatives of
the Maryland State Game and
Inland Fish Commission and
Interior Department personnel
was to make a heliocopter and
vehicle tour Of Aberdeen Prov
ing Ground.
From this developed q long
range program including in
stallation Of water control
dams, immediate projects such
as planting cover and food and
raising and releasing birds, es-
tablishing liaison contacts with
Maryland and Interior and de-
veloping financing methods.
That year a start was made
by patch planting 40 acres with
Maryland mixture" in addi-
ton to lespedeza, alfalfa, and
clover in order to provide cover
and food for quail. pheasants
and rabbits. Haag said patch
paintings were used to get bet
ter distribution of birds and
small game.
In addition, the post closed
certain water areas to hunting
through 1871. This included
what in the past had been some
of the best hunting areas and
took in about 35 per cent Of
the water areas available to
public hunting. Haag pointed
out that the waterfowl got ad-
ditional protection because
about three-forths of the time,
the areas still open to shooting
could not by used by hunters
because Of firing programs at
the proving grounds.
The wildlife program also re-
leased 225 malard ducks it had
reared in 1861. The eggs for
these were obtained from the

to do something to control the
herd, since 1t could not survive
in such numbers as were here
in 1857. BY controlled cropping
we have gotten it down to an
estimated 1900 to 1000. In 1862
the kill was 400 and we believe

pacities."
EdgewOOd Herd PrOspers
Col. Harry C. Gilbert, presi-
dent Of the Edgewood Arsenal
Rod and Gun Club, said the
deer population there was esti-
mated at 500.
That herd was started in 1919
when a doe and buck migrated
to Gunpowder Neck. 1t was
given added impetus when six
were obtained from Aberdeen
in 1929.
"The animals introduced have
survived, thrived and multiplied
with amazing ease," he said.
"On occasion they have pre-
sented safety problems for air.
craft and automobiles"
In this connection, Haag took
occasion to deny a widespread
rumor that hundreds Of deer
had been machine gunned at
Aberdeen's air field where the
animals were wandering into
the path of landing planes.
There was some shooting for
safety control. but there never
was any machine cunning" he
declared.

Two adjoining Army posts In
Maryland have embarked on a
game management and conser-
vation program that might well
serve as q model to anyone.
1t represents an almost COM
plete turn around from some
Of the bad old days when 1t
appeared the first thought was
how much game the privileged
could take away.
Aberdeen Proving Ground and
Edgewood Arsenal launched
their programs almost stimuli
taneously. both getting things
well under way In 1861, and
both working in close CO.
operation with the State of
Maryland and the Interior De-
partment.
Perhaps the most dramatic
accomplishment of the program
has been results attained with
Aberdeen Proving Grounds deer
herd, which in 1857, the peak
year, was estimated to be be-
tween 1000 and 5000.
Dead Deer Everywhere
I'VE had dead deer all over
the place. There Just wasn't
enough food to support them
and they died Of starvation by
hundreds" said Earl r.
(Whitey) Haag, Aberdeen Prov
ing Grounds control officer
and prime mover in Its conser-
vation program.
I'm that year the deer kill on
the post was about 1,l00 of
both sexes. There were no deer
in Maryland 20 years ago ex-
cept in the western counties.
Now they are all over the State
and they came from our herd
here. mostly by trapping or re-
lease but some by natural move
ment.

Race Petitions
Added in Try
To>KiII Bill

ANNAPOLIS, July / (AP).-
Additional petitions were fileC
yesterday to force a referen'
dunn on Maryland's race tracE
consolidation bill, although the
Secretary of State already has
ruled they are worthless.
The petitions, delivered to
the secretary's office by Mrs.
Rose Peck of Baltimore and
James H. Pollock, northwest
Baltimore political leader, set
the stage for a court battle
which will give the final an
Swer.
Secretary of State Lloyd L.
Simpkins said the petitions on
the race bill would be disre-
garded by his office unless he
is otherwise directed by the
courts.
He said the referendum drive
against the race track bill
failed because petitions filed
before June / did not contain
an expense report required by
law.
Senator Paul A. Dorf, Pol
lacks Son-in-law and leader of
the drive, said the expense
statement was not due until
the petitions were completed.
This is the issue the courts
will have to determine. There
has been no question about the
number of signatures on the
racing bill, which would close
three Maryland tracks and
transfer their days to four
others.
The 14,l79 additional names
filed by the Pollock forces yes
terday brought to 35,597 the
total they obtained to put the
bill on referendum. Only $1,000
valid signatures were required,
with half filed by June l and
the remainder before July /.
The controversial expense
statement on the racing bill
was filed by Mrs. Peck with
yesterdays petitions.
She listed contributions of
Salts from Dorf and $3.50
from Pollack and reported ex-
penseS of SALTS for printing
and $3.50 for notary public fees.
Each petition must be notar-
lied.
