survive the deep snowdrifts.
A survey of western Oregon in
dicated that the emergency rations
set out for the hungry deer did
not help much. As usual, the
animals were reluctant to eat the
artificial forage.
The commission said the highest
loss of deer actually occurred near
the feeding stations not in the
ranges where no food was set out.
A possible explanation was that
only the already badly weakened
animals would come to the feed
ing station.
Elk ate the emergency ration
of alfalfa hay readily, however.
Bob White and Valley quail used
emergency rations, too. Someloss-
of those occurred, but only in
areas where there were no feed

There was almost no loss of
pheasant or waterfowl.
