and better calves. R. W. Kidder,
animal husbandman at the ever

Deer's Source Of Food
PRINEVILLE, July 21. (IP) A
new kind of damage from the
recent Malheur national forest
fire was reported by wildlife
groups today.
They expressed fear that deer
might feel the effects of the fire

burned was covered with oitter
hrush. a favorite forage of the
Rnimals when they are driven
off the high slopes by snow.

nicks, chips and scratches which
result from a Jumble in the dish-pan.
