DEER PLENTIFUL SAYS RANGER, WHO
ASKS SPORTSMEN LIVE UP TO NAME
By F. F. WEHMEYER,
Forest Ranger
Another hunting season is with
us. It should be a very successful
one to the sportsmen as deer have
been noted the past spring and sum
mer in larger number than previous
years.
Each year more people avail them
selves of the recreational outlet in
an annual fall hunt and most get a
real thrill from just hiking and
camping even if they are among the
disappointed group who fail to make
a kill. It is estimated that only one
in four hunters are among the suc
cessful. To be successful of course
depends on several factors, skill with
a rifle, length of time given to
hunting, familiarity with habits of
big game and last but not least
Lady Luck.
If you get a deer you will find the
average weights in this locality are
108 lbs. for a two-pointer, 149 lbs.
for a three-pointer, 185 lbs. for a
four-pointer and 216 lbs. for five
pointers. I have heard that mule tail
deer have been known to weigh five
or six hundred pounds. I don't know
how authentic this is, but personally
suspicion that the party who killed
such an animal killed a mule and
not a mule deer.
Lots of jokes are fabricated from
the material made up from the an
tics of the careless hunter. In reality
it is no joke and there are entirely
too many of that class of varmints
at large. Accidents happen and al
ways will, otherwise there would
be few of us here, but most hunting
accidents, at least, are preventable.
Sometimes when we have a series
of fires or note where some one has
used a government signboard for
target practice or an especially dirty
camp, we indulge in thoughts that
would set fire to an asbestos blanket,
however, the great majority of

AUXILIARY TO MEET
The American Legion Auxiliary
will meet Tuesday evening, Sept. 26,
at 7:45 at the home of Mrs. Charles
Cox.
Oregon
sportsmen live up to the name. The
small number who get pleasure from
acts of vandalism or who enjoy
camping at a spot a few days and
leaving it in vile condition from un
buried garbage, tin cans, paper,
empty bottles, body waste, old and
discarded clothes are becoming few
er with the passing of each year. It
is hoped that the last specimen can
be stuffed and sent back to the
Smithsonian Institution before many
more years have passed.
Red hats and jackets are a good
precaution and should be worn by
everyone entering the woods re
gardless of whether they are hunt
ing or not, during the hunting sea
son. A strip of bright red cloth
around the hat if nothing else. For
the benefit of the neophyte, I can
vouch for Jhe fact that deer do not
wear red hats or have not to my
knowledge during the past forty
years.
While all kills should be prompt
ly bled and dressed, don't lay your
gun down and rush up to cut your
game's throat. I know a party who
did that and had his hip pockets
filled with snot from an infuriated
buck in the first hundred yards. A
wounded deer can be no mean an
tagonist. Sharp horns and they can
do things as surprising with their feet
as a Parisian Apache.
Through some quirk of our laws a
hide from a legally killed deer is not
a legal article. It just sort of has to
be bootlegged from raw state to a
pair of buckskin gloves. Thousands
of hides are wasted annually in Ore
gon. Seems like questionable con
servation. Why can't they be stamp
ed or branded in some manner and
placed openly on the market?
Well, here's luck to each hunter
visiting the forest this year and
hopes that there is a gun-getter for
each.

New Provision for
Small Wheat Planters
The 1940 agricultural conservation
program will permit any farm with
a wheat acreage allotment to be des
ignated as a "non-allotment" farm
if operators wish, said announcement
this week by Will Steen of Milton,
chairman of the state AAA commit
tee. Such farms will not be eligible for
1940 price adjustment payments,
conservation wheat payments or
wheat loans but may grow the usual
acreage of wheat for grain, or 10
acres, whichever is larger, and still
participate in other AAA benefits.
This provision is intended to sim
plify the operation of the program
and make it more flexible, particu
larly with respect to those farms on
which wheat is used for hay or
cover crops.
Steen announced that farmers
would be requested to choose their
own classification by signing a wheat
plan participation form before Oc
tober 30. He etnphasized that farm
ers who failed to sign this form be
fore October 30 would not be eligi
ble for the 1940 price adjustment
payment.
