How To Keep Deer From Rubbing Or Eating Young Trees Or Shrubs MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Pest Animals 26-2-34 To keep deer from rubbing or eating young trees or shrubs, put four or five mothballs in a cotton rag and hang it about 2 ft. up from the ground, next to the main stem.

Scalese, Ranch box 23, Galota, Mont. 59444)
