Bermuda Flowers:
"Even the most latent hortictil-
Wel interest is excited by the
masses of spectacular flowers m
aermuda. Their variety is faa-
cipating, their beauty is aston•
ishing and their origins are hard
to believe.
Bermuda Was one of the last
really habitable spots in the
world to be inhabited, and until
Sir George Somers landed in
1009, nature had been in full
control. There were then a mere
one hundred and fifty varieties
of plants including the seven-
teen indigenous ones. Appar-
ently the others, similar to
Plants native to Mexico, the
West Indies and the south-east-
ern coast of the United States,
bad floated in on seaweed or
had grown from seeds brought
by migrating birds.
Now there are more than 1,500
varieties of plants. A surprising
number of Bermuda's early
globe roaming sailors extend-
ed their investigations of for-
eign ports beyond, the water-
front to the flora al a new
country, and brought back slips
and seeds of plants that would
ornament the Colony. Here on
a coral atoll in the middle of
the Atlantic, flowers brought by
these *seagoing flower - fanciers
from Asia, Africa, North and
South America and the West
Indies have flourished.
In addition to the contribu-
tions of sailormen, early gov-
ernors and their wives fre-
quently brought new species
with them,and others arrived in
letters. Some plants,,such as the
loquat, came 'to the Islands
„quite by accident. This pretty
evergreen is native to Japan,
and it arrived in Bermuda only
because, a ship in distress, with
some aboard, was forced into
St. George's Harbor. Now it
grows widely, and loquat pre-
serves are a local delicaey.

and are a source of great pride,
.but no well-manicured beds and
borders can .contain the exuber-
ance of the flowers. They trail
along the sandstone walls bor-

there 'is created the impression

In the issue Of November 22)
1954 of sports Illustrated, an
article appeared by Purward
L. Allen entitled "Killing PITO.
Ors Won't Increase the Game."'
This was copied by several
State owned COnservation mag-
azines, Manly F. Miner, son of
the late Jack Miner, makes the
following reply;
In the spring of 1954 some-
thing came to our Sanctuary,
night after night for fourteen
nights in succession, each time
taking a mallard duck off her
nest. Not only did the creature
devour the duck, but also the
setting of eggs beneath her, num-
bering from fourteen to eigh-
teen, At the time we did not
know what type of predator it
could be that would have such
a food hunger as this, and as it
would not come to exactly the
same spot a second time we had
to set traps near other live
ducks on their nests; thus we
were unable to catch this pre-
dator until, as already 'stated,
this destruction had gene on for
fourteen nights. It turned out to
be a mother raccoon weighing
nearly twenty-five pounds. Had
we not caught and destroyed
this predator, not 'only she, but
also every, one of her offspring,
w o u I d be creating the same
havoc this spring. This being
the case, I surely cannot agree
with Mr. Allen when he con-
tends that "Killing •predators
will not increase game," The
fact is that this one coon de-
stroyed not only fourteen mother
ducks, or breeders; but also de-
stroyed fully two hundred duck
eggs. Had these eggs been left
to hatch and mature, without
danger from predators, from the
egg stage to full-grown birds,
it would have meant an increase
of perhaps one hundred ° and
fifty ducks.
Then look at the timber wolf
situation in northern Ontario.
I was with my late father, when
we saw thirty-eight Red Deer
hi one day. Timber welves„ came
in and increased — a speCiee of
timber wolf that some weigh
nearly one hundred pounds. The
during ,dateetOctober , ,
or early November when there
was only one inch or ' so of
snow, we tracked different packs
of these wolves', and their tracks
led us to as many at thirteep
deer carcasses in one day, Mostly
does (females) and fawns, I am
advised that in some areas today
there is pot a deer track to be
seen, let alone a deer. Yet look
at Pennsyvania and Miehigan,
where there are no timber wpi,
Yes. In these two States, in the
face f.4 an army of hunters each
fall, it has been found necessary
to permit the females to be shot
in order to reduce the herds to
reasonable numbers.
Let us consider the pheasant
situation: Pelee Island, in Lake
Erie, is only some eight pr ten
miles from my home, which, has
enabled me to observe the situa-
tion there at first hand and
continuously, The numbers of
pheasants have increased during
the last twenty-five years from
the start of two dozen birds. On,
the island named, only a few
square miles in extent but where
there are no predators, pheasants
have become so numerous that
during the last ten or more
year s, one thousand hunters
have haryested approximately
fifteen thousand (15,000) cock
birds annually; and lately it has
become necessary to allow hen
birds to be shot in order to re-
duce the flocks, which in spite
of the previous great annual
slaughter continued to increase.
Think of the great estates. in
both England and Scotland. On
some of these the game pre-
serve dates back three hundred,
or more years; and during that
time gatekeepers have controlled
the predators both night and
day. The result is that pheasant
and grouse are so numerous that
sportsmen go from New York
and other parts of America, each
fall, to hunt. One autumn, a few
years ago, five New York
sportsmen shot ,four thousand
grouse on one of the estates, or
moors, in Scotland, in a single
week. With the. 'excellent habi- -
tat that exists , in countleis less

to a
square' miles of Pelee Island?
They would not need to if the
sanie 'arnOunt of money were
expended in predator control as
is paid several of our University
professors and game manage-
ment biologists who are going
through the country telling us
"we will have just as much
game in the fall no matter how
much is killed by the predator
• in the winter, spring and sum-
mer months."
It seems so inconsistent to
have laws allowing you and me
one or two days in tlie fall in
which to shoot pheasants and
other game, 'yet protecting pre-
dators that commit the same act
of killing , on every one of the
three hundred and sixty - five
days of the year! And why lean
' back on the old argument that
"Nature' will balance, „itself,"
l'when the fact of the matter is1
that man, having upset Nature,'s
balance, ought to be held re-
sponsible for restoring that bal-
artce, The„preclAtor., situation has„
become still more grievous lately
because of the low prices paid
' for raw furs; during the last
ten or more years. the packs
of timber wolves and hordes of
skunks, weasels and other pre-
dators, have increased out of
all proportion to the herds of
game. And that is saying noth-
ing- of the increase in the flocks
of crows and magpies which for
three months of each year live
practically entirely on the eggs
of other birds.
Most certainly we need habi-
tat, food and shelter for our
wild life; but' what good are
all these if ninety-four nests
out of one hundred and twenty-
three (94 out of 123) nests are
going to be destroyed in the
egg stage by egg-eating preda-
tors? This is the true situation,
as has ,been authentically re-
vealed by the research biolo-
gists of North Dakota, last year.
Most certainly, upon contem-
plating the foregoing facts '—
and many others equally pertin-
ent which I can, or could, re-
late — I ash impelled to repeat
that / do not agree with Mr.
Durward L. Allen when he
writes, "Killing Predators Won't
Increase the Game."
