Tilton N. H.—(U.P.)-When Mrs. Joshua Dean yelled "There's a deer outside," her son Dudley leaped from bed, grabbed his gun and, clad only in shorts, dashed out in freezing weather and bagged a nine-point duck.
Professor Finishes Vegetation Map
By JERRY RENNER
A University professor has made a detailed vegetation map of the United States for Rand McNally and company which will show all of the natural plant life of the country.
Dr. A. William Kuchler, associate professor of geography, has worked for nearly a year modeling it after a vegetation map of the world he published two years ago in the Encyclopedia Britannica atlas.
He has made several vegetation maps including one of Manchuria, one of the world, and of sections of Michigan and New York.
"Making a map involves more than coloring one area green for thick forests and one gray for scent vegetation." Dr. Kuchler said. "The difficult phase of map making is developing and refining the classification into which one may put all the different kinds of trees and floral growth."
To the layman a tree is a tree and grass is grass, but it is more complicated than that, he said. There are maple trees and hemlocks, evergreens, palms, sequoias, bay trees,
mosses, lichens, succulents and epiphytes which grow on other plants and innumerable other natural growths.
The project began by classifying all plant into major categories of woody and herbaceous. The woody plants were subdivided into plants that are broad-leaved, needle-leaved, or evergreen.
The finished map shows the height and density of the vegetation, the regional habitat as well as floral aspects. Some of the things it shows are the trees particular to New England, the redwoods of California, the cypress of the South, Western sage brush, Texas blue bonnets, and the sunflowers of the Mid-west.
After the woody plants were classified, Dr. Kuchler began classifying the herbaceous ones made up of grass or grass-like plants.
tered to indicate the vegetation in any particular region.
If a student saw the letters "Dpt" on the map, he would be able to consult the legend and learn the area was covered with broad-leaved, deciduous woody plants ("D") of a minimum height of 75 feet ("t") in loosely scattered patches ("p").

The map will appear in "Goode's School Atlas" and will be used in geography classes at the University.
