He announced that the Agricultural Extension Service Office has just received a supply of leaflets which the University reprinted from information developed by the California Department of Fish and Game. The leafiest gives a fairly large list of plants that are seldom damaged by deer. Selections from this list are suggested where doer damage is prevalent.

7 Fees Collected County statistics are showing an increase in all departments this year. Fees collected in 1958 were $41,027.4 and this figure is $6,000 over 1957. Reason for the increase is the higher filing fee rates that began January, 1958.

Puny Boone of the Detroit Tigers tossed his cap into right field in disgust when he thought he had hit into a game-ending ground-out.

Courtesy Trout fishermen soon will have a brand-new lake in which to test their skill. The Wildlife Conservation Board announced that its 000 Letts Valley project, which will create a 33-acre lake in the Mendocino National Forest 18 miles southwest of Stonyford, Colusa county, has been completed. The impoundment, located in a dry area of the Coast Range containing few fishable waters, will have an average depth of 20 feet.

Water comes from winter runoff, plus springs, arid is held in check for angling use by a newly-constructed dam. The lake lies at an elevation of about 4,200 feet. Everett Horn, WCB coordinator, explained that the Letts Valley project is similar to one completed in 1957 in the Plaskett Meadows area where several small lakes were formed by im- 1 pounding runoff and spring wa-! ters. These are heavily used by trout anglers. The Letts Valley project was approved at the August, 1958, meeting of the WCB and was hurried to completion in time to catch this winters runoff so that i sportsmen should begin to en-i joy the fishing next spring.
