Solanco Fall Vegetables
Down in Southern Lancaster County, they grow ’em big. Here
is a line-up of fall vegetables each almost a meal m itself
produced in alfalfa on Khbads Acres One of the purple-topped tur
nips weighed in at six pounds and six ounces, followed closely by
a five-pound-plus round variety In the white winter radish depart
ment, one of those pictured above scaled five and one-half pounds,
another five pounds even “Worst of it is,” the farm manager
apologized, “is that they were all washed befoie weighing'” A tea
cup in the center gives some basis for comparison (Lancaster
Farming Photo).

Antlered White-Tailed Deer Now on
Top for Pennsylvania’s Hunting
As the small game and bear
seasons neai completion hund
reds of thousands of hunters
prepare to invade Pennsylvania’s
woodlands in pursuit of the an
tlered white-tau (leer, the state’s
most popular large game anjmal
Sportsmen aie hoping for a light
blanket of snow against which
bucks will shovV up cleaily, and
on which, kills can be skidded
to camp or car without damage
to the hide Many of the best
trophys will be taken in farm
areas, outside the tiue deer
range.*
Field suiveys indicate the
Pennsylvania neid has increased
over that of 1954, now numbers
about one-hah million animals
According to summei and fall
teporfs of buck deer seen many
large racks will fall to gun arid
bow in Pennsylvania in the com
ing season
Avoid Spoilage of Venison
Hunters who bag an antlered
deer are cautioned to use care in
handling their kill to avoid spoil
age of a valuable product of the
chase tasty venison Hits
scoied in the neck, head and
heart destroy the least good
meat The animal’s entrails
should be carefully removed as
soon as the deer dies, and the
body cavity should be wiped dry
of blood with a clean cloth The
cavity should then be propped
open to allow complete cooling.
Later, venison will age and
tenderize best if allowed to
hang, jacket removed, in 35-40
degiee temperature for a week
or 10 days Meat does not age
when fiozen. A deer carcass
should be transported so that
air may circulate around it and
into the spread open body cavity
The hide has many uses and
should not be wasted- It may be
sold by the o> igmal owner within
90 days after the close of sea
son If a trophy head is to be
mounted the throat should not
be slit The cape should be re
moved, attached to the head and
neck portion, well back over the
front shoulders Some taxider
mists prefer to skin out and pre
pare the head of a freshly-killed
specimen to be mounted.
Check of Deer Jaws
Seeking accurate information
on which to base improved herd
management Commission biolo
gists will again check deer jaws
at roadside" stations, camps, taxi
dermists’ headquarters and else
where The laiger the number
inspected the better the conclu
sions drawn. Sportsmen are asked
to cooperate by sending one side
of the lower jaw to the deer pro-,
ject leader, Stanley E Forbes,
432 Lookout Avenue, Ridgway,
with full information about their
deer Or the hunter can give the
jaw and data to any game pro
tector
Hunters are cautioned many
brown-clad persons will be in the
brush during deer season Point
your gun safely at all times, and
carry it on safe until ready to
shoot Identify jour target as a
legal buck before you fire. Deer
are not color conscious, there
fore you will not spoil an op
portunity to score if you wear
bright clothing that marks you
as a human.
Game officials recommend the
following to deer hunters. In
strange territory learn the lay
of the land and make sure you
have dry matches or a well-filled
lighter and food with you before
setting out. If going alone leave
word where you will travel- Each
year a few hunters get lost and
are compelled to spend the night,
or part of it, in the brush. At
worst such an experience should
result only in discomfort for a
matter of houis Before darkness
falls gather dry wood and build
a fire if posible on a high
point where it can be seen a
long distance in darkness. Re
member, three shots fired in
close succession,, mean distress.
Secretary of Agriculture Ben
(gon, conceding falling farm prices
would foe a major 1956 campaign
issue, promised l incentives to
farmers “to put more land into
grass.”
Above all, keep calm; you may
be suic assistance will ainve in
due time -
