ATTENTION FAR MER. if Wolves .at one time were seemingly extinct in Huron County but recent action by township councils within the county indicates that the animals are increasing ,in numbers and becoming a problem. , Herb Clark of the Ministry of Natural Resources in. Wingham stated that the ministry has received several resolutions from township councils in Huron e the ' wolf ates that ips will reinstate- only if the farmer can, prove that a wolf did the damage. If the bounty were reinstated the person who kills a wolf would receive payment but farmer would riot be compensated for any damages done. A wolf bounty system was in effect in the County but was abandoned abput two years ago. Mr. Clark believed that the boinity system is a burden and or an added expense to the tax- payer. He has not received many reports of damage in the Wing- ham area but there were seven claims for daMages in the town- ship of East Wawanosh last year. Mr. Clark is confident that the ministry's present legislation on wolf damages is more beneficial to. farmers. Since ' the ,recent changes the townships have now appointed evaluators to evaluate wolf damage to the livestock. A claim form is submitted by the evaluator to the township and then processed by the Ministry of Agriculture. Colborne TownShili Reeve Doug McNeil said that residents in that township have been very . fortunate and there has been no damage caused by wolves of which he is aware. • Goderich Township Reeve Gerry Ginn stated that there have been definite wolf problems in that township and the council has approNied the resolution and sent it to the Ministry of Natural Resources. Mr.y Ginn claimed ` that incidents involving wolf damage have increased within the, last year and that the once almost extinct animal is now on an upward trend in the county. The resolutions rendered by the township councils will be forwarded , to the ' Ministry of Natural Resources head office in Toronto. ThiS year the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food will once again be sponsoring the Junior Agriculturalist Program during the summer of 1975. The program is designed to provide a practical learning experience for young people from non-farm homes who have a serious interest in agriculture, and who hive had no experience working on a farm. As a Junior Agriculturalist, a person will be placed on a selected commercial farm, where lie/she will perfrom regular activities relative to 'that farm operation. In addition, a Junior Agriculturalist will have an opportunity to develop an appre- ciation of rural life through living with a farm family, and through participating in the local 4-H and Junior Farmer programs and in other rural activities. The prospective Junior Agricul- turalists will be either boys or girls lb and 17 years of age' and must be in good physical. and mental condition in order to withstand the vigorous physical effort. Selection will be based 'in part on their reasons for being interested in agriculture and their plans for further education and a career. All Junior Agiicultura- lists will be required to partici- pate in the orientation program to help prepare them for their farm stay. This program will be held about mid June and do-farm assignment will be for a nine week period, commencing on June 23rd and terminating on August 23rd, 1975. A Junior Agriculturalist will be' assigned, wherever possible; to,a farm with the type of enterprise(s) in which she/he is most interested. The duties involved 'will vary con- siderably depending on the indi- vidual farm • operation, the demOnstrated ability of the Junior Agriculturalist, and the kind of enterprises found on the farm. The interested host farmers are to be commercial farms, with 'the operator engaged in farming full time. They must be interested in helping inexperienced young people develop the skills required on a' farm and are expected to have the ability to work' well with and,.supervise young people. AlOst farmers must also provide suitable accommodation, for the' Junior Agriculturalist during his/ her stay on the farm. Each Junior Agriculturalist -will `receive a training allowance of $16.00 per day. based on a six day week. !8.00 of this will be provided by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food; the, host farmer will provide $3.00 'per day in cash, as well as supplying room and board worth $5.00 per day.
