ALFALFA 600D DEER FEED AND NOT INJURIOUS Game Commission Denies Fatalities Caused by Feeding It Here Rumors that alfalfa hay fed i« deer was causing some fatalities among the herds were explode here today by a statement issu by H. W, Terhune, Executive Offi- cer of the Alaska Game Commis- sion, who characterized the reépor as without any foundation and duc largely to lack of knowledge feeding done not only in Alaska but elsewhere. Alfalfa has been used for dec feed in the Territory successfull since 1916, and is being used ex tensively in both Washington State and Idaho with gratifying result Mr. Terhune said. A rumor start- ed at Sitka in 1925 that alfalfa ha fed at that time caused som deaths, was thoroughly investigated amd found to be absolutely withou Teasoun. Used Since 1916 { In 1916 and in 1923-24, E. M Codda_rd. now Assistant Execut Officer of the Commission, active in capturing and transpo ing deer from Southeast Alaska to western areas, Mr. Terhune pointed out. During the winter and early spring of both periods it was nece: sary to entirely depend upon di- mestic feed for the deer while they were held in captivity and teans- ported. Considerable experimenting with domestic foods was carried on ic obtain the maximum result in o balanced ration for the animal It was found that alfalfa hay and rolled oats made the best combin- atlon and kept the deer in the LOOK YOUR | healthiest condition. ! | falfa. . DANCE TOMORROW EVE Timothy and native hay were also fed but the deer ignored both. In the alfalfa it was found there was consider- able waste as the deer did not eat the heavy stalks. Double com- pressed alfalfa was later obtained and it was noticed that better feeding results were made as the hay in that form contained more of the finer material which the animals relished. Other Experience Cited A Mr. Hilts of Craig fed captive deer for three years, using alfalfa exclusively in the winter months. Guy Chapin used the same feed for three animals he kept at Karheen In 1925, the Game Commission fed a considerable quantity of al- Indians in the Sitka district complained that deer were dying from it, but the investigation of their claims failed to produce any ubstantiation.. Only in one in- stance was a deer found with hay in its stomach. This enimal had been found previously in a weak- ened condition, carried to a feeding point and left. Tt was later found dead. During the past several weeks, Idaho authorities have used alarge quantity of alfalfa hay to feed des- titute deer herds. ‘Washington State game officials have fed alfal- fa hay and the concentrated form-\ alfalfa meal. Both report splendid results, IS TO HAVE NEW MUSIC| | Success marked the St. Patrick’s Ball given last night in the Elks’ Hall under auspices of the Juneau | Lodge of Elks.
