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. • Gardens are carefully tended 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- dering 'the winding roads and invade vegetable gardens, until there 'is created the impression .eof 'a large outdoor greenhouse. —From "Bermuda Holiday," by Mary • Johnson Tweedy.

Eliminate Odors Prevent (logging AC! •g„ 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 populated a r ea s of the Vast stretches of North America, why should our sportsmen have to journeyt tosAleaMell 9f„ Great Britain to heheld "e'preni:' tude of game. or to the ten STILL IN 'THE 'RUNNING — Benjamin A. Trimble, a former slave, enjoys his 105th birthday by running a footrace with neighbor- hood children in Tacoma, Wash. Trimble says „he can still out- run most of the kids around here. 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.
