BOLTON, Assistant Agricultural Representative) During the past week over „half of the wheat crop in Huron County was threshed or combined, Most farmers say they have had a satiefactoryeyield, although some of the grain is a rather small sample. With continued hot wea- ther, the oat and barley crops have ripened very quickly. All ex- cept a few fields of late variety eats have been cut, and some of the early oats and barley have been threshed, * * * • Prospects for the 1957 Pelee Island pheasant shoot are "consid- erably better" than for the Moe. vember 1-2 shoot last.. ye,er,eeNd." hens, were allowed in the bag' last year and it is thought probably that this will be the case again next fall. In the 1956 shoot, final returns show „that, with the bag limit at six cocks only, 972 hunters averag- ed 5.08 birds each and 89 percent of the hunters took home their full bag of six. Although 89 per- cent of the- cocks were taken, a d t had difficult goo hunter er no y shooting his quota on the second day. Hunters generally were pleased with conditions. They report ,that the lack of congestion of shooters was evident. Me birds were in ample supply and of good size. The proportion of native birds as to imports in the bag was approx- imately 62 to 38 percent, • Of the 3,000 cocks imported in September, over 84 percent surviv- ed to the hunt. "Starting with a supply of brood stock that was inadequate for the usual shoot, followed by a repro- ductive season that was adverse in nearly every respect, the prospects for the hunt last year were indeed remote," the Department reports. "The cold, backward spring, along with heavy rains and extensive flooding when nesting was well It was getting rather late and advanced took a heavy toll of e and chicks. No doubt a consid able number of adults perished as- well. To balance the loss, the Pelee Council imported 1,350 brood hens in March and 3,000 cocks in September, 1956. These were band- ed to supply survival records at the dose of the hunt.

The museum had a com- plete study of Algonquin Park nature. We thoroughly enjoyed this. To broaden our knowledge little more we took a nature trail which I feel that everyone should take on visiting this wonderful Canadian park, That evening after supper we had an educational nature talk at headquarters by Forest Ranger Frank R. Harvey. Pelts were shown of otter, raccoon, mink, fox, timber wolf, short-tailed weasel (ern-tine), beaver, muskrat and the snowshoe rabbit. Forest Rang- er Fred A. Anderka showed slides on lynx, red squirrel; eastern chip- munk, skunk, beaver, gray squir- rel, and the deer, and films called "Deer Live in Danger" and "High Over Danger." - We returned` to camp and slept like logs, Sunday morning began with our swim and a good hearty breakfast which was followed by Scouts Own. Chores were completed, and alter lunch a conducted tour was taken on Lookout Alternative at Milepost 26. Here we saw some of the oldest rocks in the world which is called the Cambrian Shield, being part of the Lauren- tian Upland% We had a magnifi- cent view from the tap of, the trail where you could see for miles in- eluding such lakes as Whitefish Lake; Lake, of Two Rivers and Kearney Lake, Beek at camp once more for supper, campfire, marshmallow roast, and bed for an early start the next day for home. Monday, feeling rather blue at the thought of our wonderful weekend coming to an end, we broke 'camp and piled into four cars to take the same route home. At Singhampton we missed the turn, to Flesherton and went slightly out of our way and hit a few gravel roads, but were 'pleas, ed ta• see Wingbarn and Highway 4, An hour later we were home; tired but happy, having had a wonderful four days, The Scouts want to. thank sin- cerely everyone who helped make this' trip possible.. 111 MERRILLI'v--2 RADIO & ELECTRIC 4arai and Szt aide Phone 113 24021 (By Don Boys) On August 6- at seven p.m. the monthly meeting of the Ruron Fish and Game Conservation Ae- Seelation 'was held at the club 'farm, A work program: to further benefit tire fam, was eared out from 7 'to --g p.m. The meeting got underway at 9.15. and the highlight of the evening was the elutt'e. de- cision to make a $400 donation to further help toward the comple- tion of the Clinton .Ceminimity Sveimming Pool, • In Canada in- "the period 19:15- 1956 .supplementary labour income —which consists of employers' eon- tributipne to pension and welfare plans, unemployment insurance and workmen's compensation—en- creased from $156 million to $497 million. 5,rs •seeing that we had to put our • tents up yet, we did not stop, and after passing the Nature.
