DEER ARE BROWSERS
' Last week 'I spoke of our deer
and -this week I wantto describe
- something about them that the
• average Minter...May riot know.
Gk!reeinikets-i-hv o'have worked
with the deer tell us that each of
these animals need, so many acres
• of forested larid, if they are to
thrive:, I have forgotten the' exact
figures but our purpose will be.
seryed if we say that each, deer
needs twenty acres of range., ke-
ineinber deer are broWsers, they
feed on the growing tips and Wigs'
of • the trees and other brushy
plants. This is liMited in amount
and if a deer is confined he may
be able to eat the browse in his
• pasture faster than it grows.
, Thus we can see that tine num-
ber oer that, can Eve and find
,.•
in *arty area -is limited even
er-ten-ditiona eve MeV Bei*.
Butt imagine conditions ;that oc-
• casionally., occur in our woods.
• Deep snow' piles up, the deer re- .
treat to the cedar swapips-,ip num-
bers and soon, if the matey con-
tinues, they have eaten all avail-
able food. Starvation ,is the re
sult, not because the deer lack
fdod for nine tenths of the year
but because they lack food for a
critical period of..mayb'e -a month
in late Eebruary. •
So, the number of deer is lim-
ited by the number of, cedar
swamps and theft- size. This is an
• important point to remember.
Nearly every anneal has some
critical period in its lifetime. And
these periode, are thetlimiting fac-
tors, that ' prevent the animals
fiem overflotving the whole e ouh-
tryside. in the case of the deer
the critical time 'comes. when the
hunter is not in the woods. He
Sees plenty of food in the fall bet

Neutrality Act, prevented Ameri-
can ships from getting into the '
western approaches to the eBritish
Isles, says James BaResten in the
New York Times.
-1 As a result, the British will net•-
' only have the advantage of a
great number of • our , ships, but
their own convoy system will be
.
much mere efficient: Until this
• week, • and since the President's
Shoot -on -sight policy, American
warships neve been convoying Bri-
tish merchantmen to the waters
Off the coast of Iceland,' where Bri-
tish warships have picked them
up and protected. them. the rest of
:the way into ,the Western British
,ports.
This system has been inefficient
because, in the first place, the con-
voys went out of their way to go
near the American base at Ice-
land, and in the second place a
great deal of time` was lost at
'Iceland, where it ' was difficult
• for the, British and American ships
to keep their rendezvous in wintry
weather without the use of• radio,
which the Presence of enein'y 'sub -
..marines made dangerous.
Allotment System Eased -
In the past each .nation has
used its own ships to the best ad-
vantage, but in the future the mer-
chant and naval shipping of these
two great powers and NoraVay will
be allotted in accordance with
whatever is most efficient in car-
rying out the war aims of the two
• countries.
That .more Merchant vessels.,
• protected by more' warships, will
be threwn int ,o the Battle qf the
Atlantic' by both is obvious. That
the addition of American power
in the Atlantic will also enable
• the British to strengthen their.
position in the Mediterranean and
the Pacific is • also certain.
The half -a -ay cenvoy system was
inefficient because American. ships
