Show Proper Food for Deer Goal of Michigan Tests SHLMGLETON, MICH. Michigan conservation officials are hopeful that feeding experiments now being carried on with domestic sheep at the Cusino wild life experiment station sta-tion may produce needed nutritional knowh dge that can be used in maintaining main-taining the state's growing deer herds. The sheep are being fed the natural natur-al foods on which deer subsist in the woods and it is hoped that the effects of the diet may supply a yardstick that will allow experiments experi-ments to apply the findings of research re-search experts to the problems of supplying adequate diets for Michigan's Michi-gan's herds. During the last four winters the state conservation department has spf'nsnred the largtst deer feeding experiments in the world at the Cusino Cu-sino station. J |
