ONLY A PART OF B.C.’s VAST AREA
SUITABLE FOR WILDLIFE, AUTHORITY SAYS

Despite the fact that British Col-
umbia appears to many citizens to be
a boundless land of unlimited wild-
life resources and possibilities, peo-
ple should realize that only a com-
paratively smal] part of the proy-
ince’s 366,000 square miles is suit-
able for wildlife, was the message
given to sportsmen by Dr. James
Hatter, the Game Branch’s chief
ume biologist.

“One thing that we must constant-
ly remember is that all wild animal
populations are limited by their win-
ter living quarters, or winter range,”
stated the wildlife authority. ‘In
summertime our province seems
boundless, and one ean visualize vast
numbers of wild animats the
country. But it iy in the spring after
a hard winter with deep snows that
the trne picture is seen,” he said.

He pointed out that it was quite
a common occurrence to find starv-
ing moose and deer in some districts.
When in that condition, they are easy
prey to diseases “and winter ticks
that can cause havoe among big
game herds. 2

The biologist went on to say that
there was another danger as well as
the miserable slow starvation that
was the lot of animals when they
were too abundant for their winter
range. .This was the tremendous
damage often done to the feed plants
themselves by the foraging animals

Dr. Hatter stated that the answer
to the problem was for man to allow
only enough a range, as
that range could support the year
around. :

Trench Silos Less
Subject To Freezing

Grass silage stored in trench silos
in northern areas is less subject to
freezing than in tower silos accord-
ing to the information department
of the Dominion Department of Ag-
riculture.

At the Kapuskasing Experimental
Station, where winter temperatures
of 25 to 40 below zero are not un-
common, there are two tower silos,
one on the north the other on the
southwest corner of the di barn.
Frequently silage in the north silo
feerzes so badly that early in Jann-
ary feeding from it has,to be dis-

continued until warm weather in
March and April. The south silo is
sufficiently protected that silaage

can be fed from it most of the win-
ter but it undergoes some freezing.

For three years a trench silo has
been in use at the Station with little
if any freezing of the silage. About
four feet of the silage is below
ground level and it extends five feet
above the surface with plank walls
arr -—an against the.
sides. In 1953 a horizontal silo was
built entirely above the ground, with
wooden side walls, and this winter
will indicate how well it withstands
the frost.

Several coverings have been triéd

and frost. The end from which the
silage was fed was kept covered with
an old canvas between feedings. for
further protection.

Capaciy of the trench silo is 100
tons and it costs $500 for labour and
materials. The horizontal silo, above
ground, of the same capacity, cost
$154 for materials d $71 for la-
bour, or a total of $225. One of the
tower silos 16 by 35 feet, built about
the same time, cost $2007. It was
built of wooden staves, with a con-
crete floor and metal roof.
