Porcupine Is One Element Of Wild That Can Well Be Done Without In U.S. , By ROBERT N. LATZY Forester, U.S. Forest Service For many years it has been mistakenly believed the porcupine is an animal protected by law as an easy source of food for the lost hunter or fisherman. Like all stor ies that become somewhat dis torted as to fact with repealed telling it just am t so. Porcupines in the past several years have become pests of con siderable importance to not only timber owners and foresters, but to farmers as well. Complaints of damage to alfalfa, fruit trees and berry bushes have been received from widely scattered locations. These places usually are found to be adjacent to timbered areas from which the porcupines can travel easily into the cultivated sections. By far the most serious damage from an economic stand point, however, is their injury or Killing of young forest trees, During late summer, fall and winter months, porcupines in their efforts to get at the inner layer of bark often partly or completely girdle the main leaders or boles of trees. Many of the small seed lings are completely consumed, while the larger trees freaucntlv suiter injury serious enough to cause their deaths, but more often this injury results in a weakened, busny-loppcd or spike-top tree use loss for commercial purposes. As porcupines will eat practically all kinds of vegetation, . their in creased numbers result in greater and more widespread damage to crops and trees. This is especially noticeable among the forest trees where their destructiveness many places is second only to that oi me. Hunting and poisoning are two methods of control which can ef fcctivcly be employed in helping lo reduce the porcupine popula tion. Many of the animals can be shot in areas of known concert Iration. such as meadows and al falfa fields. Another effective measure of control is based upon me porcupines' (ondness for salt. Specially prepared wooden blocks witn caviues lined with poison in trees known to be frequented by porcupineV. ' t The yellow-haired porcupine of Ihe West, when full grown, weighs approximately 13 to 25 pounds. The female is considerably small er than the male. The hairs on the back and sides that have de veloped into spiny quills are half an inch to three inches long and are used as a means of defense when in actual contact with ene mies. The quills cannot be thrown. When the quills become detached and are carried off by enemy or another animal. the victim's own movements cause the quills to become embedded more and more deeply into the flesh. They may then cause intense suffering and even death. Occasionally livestock and game animals are injured by getting porcupine quills in the nose. mouth, tongue or about the head The affected parts sometimes be come so swollen that the animals are prevented from eating and so may starve to death. Far from being easily available food to the lost wayfarer, the por cupine is one animal that man kind can well do without. Son Of World War II Hero Glad He Did It Himself CARLISLE. Pa. AP)-"I guess I'm proudest of the fact I did it on my own." That s often a teen-ager s way of letting you know he's tested himself and found that he has ability. In this case, however, it means a bit more. For the remark was made today by Corky Kelly, the 19-year-old son of a famous father wnose heroic death guaranteed the future of his then infant son. On Wednesday Corky received news that he had earned appoint ment to West Point by passing stiff competitive examinations. He didn t have to put himself to the test. His father was Capt Colin P. Kelly Jr., the nation's first air hero of World War II. Seven days afler Capt. Kelly as killed in action President Roosevelt paid an enduring trib ute to the gallant pilot in a letter to the President of the United States in 1956. He asked that President to con sider the merits of an American youth of goodly heritage Colin P. Kelly III for appointment as a cadet in the U.S. Military Acad emy at West Point." Corky was assured ol a start In life, and it was a start that he grew up to want, but not quite on such easy terms. I guess I could have gotten my appointment without taking WWI Vets, Aux Name Emissaries Klamath Falls representatives of Veterans of World War I and its auxiliary were elected to of I ices at a District 10 meeting in Red mond last weekend.
