very interesting address, stat
ing that the long debated trap
ping zones had been .set by tha
Department at. teuy townships,
per trapper; if he Wants them,
and that rabies would be with
us, perhaps, for many years,
and might even be worse at
times,
Regarding the numerous out
side and American hunters
doming in, Mr. Meadows stated
that written complaints should
be obtained by farmers trou
bled by these hunters:, and sent
into the Department. He ■ also
stated hunters were abusing
snow machines and breaking
laws with them, using them for
mass murder of game. Fines
up to $150 could be ‘levied
against illegal poachers of rain
bow trout, he added.
He also said anyone outside
a township is a non-resident
and any farmer can order any
one off his property whether
it is signed or not. Iff that per

He reported large quantities
of muskrats had built up and
up to forty per cent of the

badly damaged, due to an early
run in Southern Ontario which
slowed down the muskrat mar
ket.
