TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE NINE ONSERVATION | ORNER --for Outdoor Sportsmen DEER SEASON IN HURON Hespeler, Ontario--An, over-abun- dance of deer in the Huron District | during the past year has caused | * thousands of dollars in damage to! autos, farmers' crops and orch- ards, according to conservation of- ficers of the Ontario . Department of Lands and Forests. The officers have roughly - esti- | mated that $30,000 damage was | inflicted on cars alone as a result 8 of collisions with deer on high- FY. ways in the district which covers ten counties. A total of 150 deer § were killed in this manner and the have cost the motorist $200 in re- pa bills. ; Farmers are another group who Ml are welcoming the three-day open i season to be held this year. The deer, once they had eaten up all the natural browse, turned to farm crops for substance. One farmer complained that he had lost 100 bushels of corn during the winter months, while many others report- ed losses of 25 bushels or more. Considerable damage, they told the wildlife officers, had been done to their hoe crops,.such as tur- ' nips and mangoles, Fruit growers have been want- ing the deer population reduced i for some time. Young orchards in ! particular have suffered heavily. § The deer are said to have browsed $ on the tender branches of young =" trees and when these were eaten § turned to the tops and then the bark. One grower estimated that § $500 damage had been caused to one of his young stands. Many have expressed fear that an open season would cause a heavy influx of hunters, but the fact that the open season will be general throughout the Province will al- leviate any danger of over-concen- | tration of deer hunters, wildlife of- id ficers are of the opinion. 'f MAY HAVE SEED ORCHARDS © Toronto--A shortage of red pine * seed, so serious that the govern- 4 ment along with other co-operat- 13 ing bodies, is studying the possibil- 3 ity of establishing "seed orchards," | 3 has developed in, Ontario, research | { scientists of the Lands and For- 3 ests Department said today. The shortage which has added 4 significance inasmuch as the red pine is an especially favored spec- ies in roforestation, is being in- 4 vestigated by the Department's ¢ Division of Research, the University 13 of Toronto and the Research Coun- d cil of Ontario. As part of the study the Department has request- "ed the Dominion Forest Insect fl Laboratory at Sault Ste. Marie to investigate insect attacks which are ® considered an important factor. "The study of the red pine seed shortage is essentially an assess- ment of the ability of red pine to ¢ produce a normally heavy seed crop regularly and leading to the ® establishment and operation of a plantation of red pine seed trees called a 'seed orchard," a spokes- il man for the Division of Research i explained. "With some tree species seed sup- plies are abundant, but in red pine § several factors combine to create a t) seed shortage, Seed production id runs in six-to-ten year cycles and i fewer suitably productive trees are ¥ available for cone collection each year while more and more seed is needed for nursery planting." Cone production varied in trees and in localities, the officer said, and in order to ensure an adequate pply of seed for the nurseries each year large quantities had to be collected in years of peak seed production to carry over the low years. > The scarcity of seed is due, it was explained, to inherent charac- teristics of the red pine which per- mit it to produce seed only every six to ten years and even then all crops. produced are not good. The crops, whatever their abundance, are further reduced by insect at- tacks. The initial survey of the long- term project, started in 1946, first determined the difference in char- acteristics that caused a tree to be a good or bad producer. "Numbers of these good trees have been located across the Province and progeny from them are being grown in plantations where they may be treated by var- ious means now successfully used by agriculturists to stimulate seed production if other plats," the re- search scientist said. "The increased cone crop pro- duced by these methods will fail to produce seed however unless pro- | tection from insects is given to the | trees. 'The - insects responsible are ' little known as well and their life histories must be recorded before control measures can be taken." During 1950 an extensive sur- vey of insect damage 'to red pine ! was made In central and northern * Ontario and a study was also made | of the seed-producing capacity of " normal cones. Cone collections from " several other localities in north- eastern Ontario were also examin- ed. I Insect damage to the cones varl- | ed from practically none to over . 97 per cent. in different localities, the survey revealed. The heaviest losses were blamed on two insects indicating the neetl for concentra- tion of future studies on these in- sects. MORE BASS "PLANTED" ' Toronto--The annual harvesting land transplanting of smallmouth black bass from over-populated to under-populated lakes reached record proportions this season in the eastern part of the Province, the Ontario Department of Lands land Forests reported today. ~ | This good news for fishing en- thusiasts came from Dr. H. H. MacKay, Supervisor, Game Fish Section, who said that during July and August fisheries personnel had netted more than 12,000 parent bass from lakes where the fish were stunted due to f@od limitations brought on by over-crowding, They were transplanted to adjacent lakes and streams where more bass were needed and where there was suffi- cient food and space to permit of further growth. Favourable weather conditions had assisted the Department's op- erations greatly in secufing the record" catch, Dr. MacKay said, - referees.

The fish taken in the operations averaged nine inches in length, just under the legal size, their growth slowed due to the inadequate food supply in the lakes from which they were taken. The .bass harvesting operations are considered to be a very import- ant contribution to the proper man- agement of game-fish waters, the benefit being two-fold it was ex- plained: Excess fish, when planted in a more suitable environment, develop rapidly in size. Removal of excess bass from a lake also provides an opportunity of normal growth for those left and eventually results in better fishing not only in the-lakes netted but also in those waters in which the excess are planted. In the course of their work the Department personnel net many species of fish. Those that are considered harmful to the game- fish populations are removed in order that the relative population levels in the lake will not be ser- iously influenced. Netting and transplanting opera- tions begin after the opening of the bass season in July and after the parent bass have finished rais- ing their young. If they were re- moved before that time fisheries men say that the young bass would lose their parents who protect them from other predatory fish un- til they are large enough to fend for themselves. The work ceases in late August when the bass become difficult to net owing to the fact that they tend to move into deeper water at that time. During the middle of summer the black bass, a warm water species, follow the shallows, which are the first to warm up in summer and conversely cool off rapidly with the lower tempera- tures in autumn. In the cool weather temperatures remain more constant in the deeper layers of a lake or stream. Pravda "'Spanks" Tula Sport Writer For His Remarks Moscow (AP) -- Pravda spanked a provincial newspaperman for yelling foul at a referee who dis- qualified two stars of the editor's home-town bicycle racing team. A. Sadovnikow, it seems, used the editorial columns of his Tula newspaper to make repeated and in temperate attacks on the referee -- even after Tula beat a Moscow team. . Pravda supported the referee and said he made the right decsion in throwing out the Tula stars. Tula Sinferopol beat Moscow in a meet at Tula last month but with- out the full-time services of V. Fed- in and B. Rusakow. By their own fault, Pravda and the referee said, they disqualified themselves. Two days later, Sadovnikov in an editorial accused the referee and the referees' association of favoritism toward visiting teams. The association and. party, city government and sports officials decided Sadovnikov was unjust- ified. But Sadovnikov published a sec- ond "thunderous" attack on the Pravda said Sadovalkgy violated journalistic ethics, set, a bad ex- ample for Tula spartsmen and did scheduled for today would be post- poned. ...FAMILY ENTERS TOURNEY The swimming Mercer family-- father, mother and five children -- set out Monday from Tiverton, R.I., in two automobiles for Toronto, to take part in a long distance swim tournament at the Canadian Natio- nal Exhibition Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Mercer, their son and four daughters, took part in a 1949 Coney island swim. They had hoped of conquering the Eng- lish channel that year but failed to find a sponsor. The father, now 55, and Robert, 15, plan to take part in the 10- mile men's distance race Wednes- day. Three of the girls, Althea, 23, and the 15-year-old twins, Faith and Hope, will enter the women's dis- tance championship race -- three miles -- Sept. 5. .. .RESUME 'FIX' PROBE The Ontario Racing Commission will resume hearings into an al- leged jockey 'fix' ring at this track near Niagara Falls, today it was announced Monday.

Saddler Upset By De Marco Milwaukee (AP) -- Paddy De Marco set a blazing pace last night to upset Sandy Saddler, feather- weight champion of the world, in a 10-round non-title bout before 6,851 fans in the Milwaukee arena. The stocky, bull - shouldered De Marco, weighing 136 pounds for a 7% pound advantage over Saddler, avenged the ninth round tko he suf- fered at the hands of the champ nearly two years ago. De Marco used his weight edge to advantage, whaling away with both hands to his fellow New York- er's head and body and then hust- ling him into the ropes in a tight clinch. There were no knockdowns and the only apparent injury was a bloody nose suffered by De Mar- co. The crowd approved the verdict as Referee Julius Fidler scored-it 7-4 for De Marco, Judge Les de Camara 6-5 for Paddy and Harry Zaider 5-3 for Saddler.

FEWER CRIMES Oslo (CP) -- Norway had fewer crimes in 1950 than in the years just before the Second World War, reports the central bureau of sta- tistics. There were 4181 cases of felony last year, a drop of nearly 300 from 1949 and nearly 800 less than the annual average for the | pre-war period. Following Straight and Narrow Path By ALEX J. MORRISON Central Press Canadian Golf Columnist It takes the average human a long time to learn some things. Having told pupils, countiess times, that the ball will travel straight when the head is held in the proper position until well after impact, I'm thrown for a loss when they dis- cover the first few months or years later. When it does happen they. usual- ly say, "I finall figured t out for myself," or "That's the first time you explained it so I could under- stand it." The time, place or person seems to make not the slightest difference. Around Easter time I was work- ing with a national champion who argued continually that my instruc- tions were not as clear as they should be. The club where we practiced staged an egg hunt for children on a fairway adjoining the clubhouse. My pupil having come upon some of the bright colored eggs in plain sight on the clear turf, grunted, "A blind man could | find them." That gave me an opportunity to job his attention to instructions. "Don't be critical," I said, "I've put points even more in the clear for you without you having seen them." One of these points is the relation of head position during the swing to the direction of the flight of the ball. The direction of any shot de- pends so much on your head posi- tion that it is almost impossible to send the ball off line when your chin is properly pointed. Think of this. You'd give any- thing to send the ball far and straight enough. Perhaps you now send it far enough and just need direction. In despair you may be ~--Central Press Canadian, Jimmy Demaret demonstrates good {shot. A steady head after impact | makes it almost impossible to send the ball off line with amy club, willing to setile for direction with a fair amount of distance. Well, you have the means right in your own mind and body. The price to be paid is learning to point your chin properly and thereby control the position of your head. This applies to all players and all shots played under all conditfons. Ad i ow much rubber between vou and tire trouble ?
