THE DEER MENACE
(To the Editor.) Sir,—Will you publish a suggestion to overcome the deer menace? _ I would sug-j gest commercialising the killing. A number of country workers are now short of employment. Thousands of .city residents like venison occasionally. The deer tire a menace to our farmers. Could not the country unemployed make a decent living by shootitig deer, -sending the carcasses to our local butchers, who would sell the venison at-a reasonable figure to cit ydweilers? The farmers would gain, the country unemployed would gain, the butchers would not have any loss, and the city residents Would have a welcome change of diet. It Would mean the export of a number more carcasses of mutton and beef, so that actually nobody would be the loser, and everybody a gainer. Commercialise a menace into a gain and the menace will soon "disappear.— I am, etc., CON. MIBDENEA. Oth April, 1930.
