GROFFS HARDWARE NEW HOLLAND Deer Need Good Food Supply NOT MANY HUNTERS will get this close to a live deer during hunting season. This handsome 240-pound buck is a part of feeding tests of white-tailed deer at the Pennsylvania State University. Tests show that a good food supply affects the weight of the animal, number of points and size of the rack more than does age. Bucks fed a re stricted ration, like that often found in areas over-populated with deer, are smaller and may weigh half that of well fed deer. Project leaders shown here are C. E. French and NTT). Magtuder of the Agricultural Experiment Station. Observance of itwo simple com mon sense precautions would eliminate more than 90 per cent of all hunting accidents. These are “Treat EVERY gun with the respect due a LOADED gun” and “NEVER point a gun at ANY THING you do not want to shoot.” MUSSER Leghorn Chicks For Largo WW*o Eggs DONEGAL WHITE CROSS For iroMor CMefto ■OwwHfwi *• ■me*r w MOOT MV, M.

This is a reasonably low figure, the Game Commission and informed out doorsmen believe. The count was made by game protectors and field research men. Early season trout fishermen contributed, in many cases, to the compilation.
