Herb Sez... I don’t want to be misunder stood because I agree that we have an ecological problem con cerning human pollution in vari ous forms but I can’t go along with the idea that the earth is about to fall in on us. Some points just don’t seem to har monize. The ecologists deplore the urban sprawl, the building of homes in areas adjacent to cities. There is a great ob jection to building homes on areas that were at one time farm land. We also hear the objection to changing desert lands into farm lands. This doesn’t really make sense be cause we must face the fact that people require homes and the only place to erect new homes is on spaces where there were no homes previously. Ac tually just a few years ago every square foot of this nation was a wilderness. Too many people seem to think that the desert must remain an arid piece of land and city dwellers must stack up on top of each other and not leave the centers of population. The other evening I watched a show which deplored the covering of land with asphalt to make freeways. The view showed us 8 lane highways clog ged with automobiles. I won dered at the time what the situa tion would be if we still had to depend upon 2 lane roads in congested areas. When the objectors of freeways dispose of their own cars in an effort to curb traffic, then I’ll believe they actually mean what they say. This also goes for the objectors of power plants. When they disconnect their hot water heaters they may set an ex ample for others to follow. This same show also wept because the ocean and sky were no longer blue, I have driven from coast to coast and with the exceptions of a very few spots the skies are very blue. I’ve never seen a more beauti ful blue than the Pacific Ocean. There were also tears shed for the passing of flowers. I have a hunch there are more flowers blooming in the yards around homes in Boise valley than ever existed prior to the discovery by French Canadians who ex claimed, “Les Bois, les bois.” APOLLO (Patent Applied For). This 1972 award winner is the most productive yellow hybrid tea rose now available. This year’s All-American honors go in a clean sweep to hybrid tea roses. Both award winners, APOLLO and PORTRAIT belong to this most popular class and both should take their places in the gardens of the nations as outstanding members. Both went through the grind of two years of testing in the 22 test gardens of All-American Selections scattered about the United States, and emerged as the only award winners. This spring they will be available throughout the country, both are bare root and potted or canned plants, and should be appearing in rose show competition by this fall.

Paul Ebert, staff biologist in charge of the big game pro gram, advised the Game Com mission of the severe winter losses at its regular monthly business meeting in Portland last Friday. Although individual mule deer herds have suffered heavy losses in the past, at no time have the losses been so severe or on such a broad scale as the past winter. Ebert outlined district by dis trict what biologists have found as the spring breakup allows access into some of the more remote ranges. Biologists con tinue to assess the damage and the full picture will not be known for about another month. Observations in all areas in dicate heavy fawn mortality. In the Snake River range about 73 percent of the fawns have been lost, while on the Keating range an estimated 62 percent of the fawns succumbed to winter stress. Inafive-mileareaalong the lower Powder River 111 Oregon motorists are remin ded that by state law studded tires are not permitted on the state’s highway system after April 30.

This Is prior to the 1968-69 severe winter fn western Oregon which cut down the blacktail herds. SUNDAY ONLY- 1 to 5 p.m. GENERAL TIRE eastern Oregon with no green- up before winter; and heavy snowfall and below normal tem peratures starting In late Oc tober with little moderation until March. Although malnutrition was the principal cause of mor tality, predation was heavy on weakened animals and diseases and parasites also contributed. Ebert advised the Commis sion that a wide-range feeding program was initiated in early December which continued into March. Biologists were assis ted by more than 40 individuals and two sportsmen’s groups. During the course of the win ter Commission personnel fed or provided more than 185 tons of alfalfa hay, just over 54 tons of high-protein pellets, and 14 tons of mint silage. It was not known how much feed was distributed by individuals on their own. Ebert predicted a very poor fawn crop this coming spring. Adult does that pull through the winter, he said, will give birth to small, weakened fawns, if they have births at all. In their weakened condition, these little fawns will have a hard time making it. In contrast to eastern Ore gon, biologists on the west side report black-tailed deer herds wintered in excellent condition CARRY-OUT PRICES ““ SAVE • » V1 carcasses were found, 70 per cent of which were fawns. On the Powder River range in UnionCounty, December herd composition showed 59 fawns per 100 does, while the spring count stood at only 19 fawns per 100 does, a loss of 67 per cent. To indicate the severity of losses in southeastern Ore gon, the Alvord deer herd drop ped from almost 35 deer per mile in the spring of 1971 to only 9.2 deer per mile this spring. Fall herd composition showed 40 fawns per 100 does while the spring count was only 17, a 57 percent loss. In the Ochocos a 62 percent fawn loss is reported. Heavy fawn loss is also reported from the Steens and all through Malheur County but percentage figures are not yet availabe for these areas. Ebert said that with the poor fawn crop going into the win ter in most of eastern Ore gon to begin with, the heavy mortality is even more sig nificant. Ebert outlined some of the contributing factors to the heavy winter mortality. These in cluded a heavy infestation of grasshoppers last summer in Wallowa, Baker, and Grant counties which denuded many winter ranges; a dry, late summer and fall throughout SUNDAY SALE |^W~ËLLÏOTT ^4* • Thursday, April 20, 1972 Th« Nyssa Gat« City Journal, Nyssa, Or«gon Pag« Six
