P © RT PA(iE Edited By John L. Anderson b Rambling With The Sports Editor ! IS SPRING HERE? ... A beautiful, snowy-white service berry tree (amelanchier canadensis) has come into full bloom on the left side of Davidson River just a short distance inside the Pisgah Na tional Game preserve. It is one of the first seen and presents a strik ing appearance with the deep green background of rhododendron covered mountain slope. In addition to its aesthetic value, this tree is also important in producing food for birds and game. • • • • GOLFERS GALORE . . . Last week end, though somewhat windy, was ideal for golf and the Brevard course had a record number making the rounds for this time of the year. We were pleased to see that many high school boys have taken up the game and it is our firm conviction that greater emphasis should be placed on the game among the teen age boys. Golf used to be called an “old naan’s game,” but that’s not the case now. And more especially on the Brevard course, which is described as being somewhat difficult and one of North Carolina’s most interesting links to play. Take it from us, you can’t beat the scenery on any hole at the Brevard Country club. And we’ll stack the condition of the Brevard greens up against any other in these parts. * * * * IMPORTANT MEETING . . .

GIL COAN ESSO SERVICE | 7 I Crimson Clover, Honeysuckle And Rye Being Planted in The Forest For Food For Deer Herd Charlie Coffin Makes Inter* esting Statements On The Program Charlie Coffin, wildlife special ist here in the Pisgah Nationa Game preserve, reports today thal crimson clover, honeysuckle anc rye are being planted to increase the amount of food available foi deer in the forest. These plants are being made t( supplement the browse that is available, Mr. Coffin states. “Lack of food for deer in the Pisgah National Game preserve is limiting the size of the deer herd that can be managed,” the special ist points out. Unless there is a definite in crease in available food, the deei herd cannot be increased appre ciably, he says. More important to the deer, as he is a browsing animal, are the sprouts and reproduction follow ing timber cutting, it is said. To increase the amount of sprouts end reproduction, the U. S. Forest service is modifying the cutting practices to allow clear cutting in j certain drainages. This will pro vide more deer food than is made available under the selective sys tem of cutting. The U. S. Forest service and the North Carolina Wildlife Re sources commission are cooperat ing to produce as many deer for legal harvest as is compatible with tiie multiple use program on the Pisgah National Game preserve.
