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torted as to fact with repealed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.

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.

my appointment without taking
