Poor Fishing Blamed
On Witless Killing
There are times when it is neces
sary to kill wild life, but conservation
ists array themselves against witless
killing and reckless pillage. The pas
senger pigeon (whole billions filled
the skies with an avalanche of wings
within the memory of living men)
was utterly annihilated. The buffalo
were reduced from perhaps, 70 mil
lions almost to extinction. The water
fowl population (estimated at 400
millions 90 years ago) dropped to 200
millions—100 millions—and in 1934, to
an estimated 27 millions. In an editor
ial entitled “Why Kill It?" the Mont
real Star said: “No one, not even the
people who are doing what they can
to bring it to pass, will say that we
will be the better for finishing off
everything that walks on four feet
or swims or flies."
Why has fishing fallen off badly
in Southern Ontario, where there used
to be some of the best fishing ponds
and streams you ever saw? The Ont
ario Department of Lands and Forests
replies: “Because of the pollution of
streams by cities and towns and care
less landowners, coupled with the re
moval of trees and brush from the
banks and the lowering of water levels
by deforestation." Fish are now un
able to live in some waters where they
were once plentiful, because of wastes
from factories and mills. The sub
stance discharged into the water need
not be poisonous to be deadly. If it
destroys the smaller animals or plants
on which fish live, or buries them, or
removes the .oxygen from the water,
it will make life impossible.
It takes years to restore fish in a
tainted lake. You can’t just start by
adding fish from a hatchery. Plant
life must be renewed from roots or
seeds, then small creatures such as
water fleas appear. Finally there will
be enough food for fish. Several soc
ieties are nobly Struggling with the
evil of polluted streams and lakes, but
they need public support.
One pbrson ’bn a farm or* beside a
lake cannot' carry out a conservation-
programme, This is why the Dominion
and Provincial Government^ have
entered upon a policy of conservation.
This is why there is international co
operation in conservation.
There is no use in forbidding people
to shoot animals and birds unless con
ditions are provided in which the
creatures can live until maturity, and
increase. All animal life depends upon
plants. Vegetation alone among living
things is capable of producing its own
food, absorbing its elements from air,
water and soil. It is, therefore, neces
sary to preserve forests and plants to
nourish wild animal life. In turn,
animals and birds' benefit the forests
and farms by destroying harmful in
sects, transporting and planting for
est seeds," "and- carrying pollen.

BEEF PRODUCERS TO
BUILD ADVERTISING
FUND FOR BEEF
Bruce County Beef Producers at
their annual meeting held in Paisley,
Friday, April 2, unanimously endorsed
a plan to build a fund for the purpose
of advertising and promoting the sales
of beef. Deductions will be made on
all’ cattle marketed with the exception
of calves; processors wi)l also make
a substantial grant to the project.
Speakers at the meeting, chaired by
the’ president, A. A. McTavish, of
Paisley, were B. B. Warnika, of Bar
rie and Earl Manning of the Indus
trial Meat Packers. Mr. Warnika, past
president of the Ontario Beef Cattle
Association, outlined conditions in the
U; S, as he saw them in a recent trip.
In the corn^belt, he stated 30% fewer
cattle were on feed at the beginning
of the year; this was partly due to
discouraging profits during the past
few years and the government support
price for corn. Many farmers felt it
better to sell the corn rather than
risk livestock feeding. The drought
areas in Western U. S. were not -im
proving and breeding stock on many
ranches is not being replaced. With a
growing population in the U. S. and
Canada he felt cattle business looked
brighter.
Earl Manning of the Meat Packers,
pointed out the demands of the con
sumer to-day is for non-fat meat pro
ducts; unfortunately fat on an animal
is necessary because it provides the
flavour. Better merchandising of
meats in the retail*"trade has greatly
increased sales and higher pork prices
influenced the consumer to buy beef.
Less than 20% of a steer is composed
of steaks and roasts but the food
value of the meat is relatively the
same no inatter which portion of the
animal it is cut off, Consumption of
beef in Canada has increased recently
from 52 lbs, per person per year to
70 lbs.
George Gear, agr. rep., expressed his
solution to lower costs of production
of beef was in better pastures and
hay. With better hay farmers can
avoid the use of expensive grain feed
ing in winter; with no hay however
grain will be required. He recommend
ed branding of cattle before, they go
on the grass and the brand should be
registered with the livestock commis
sioner. To brand without registering,
is illegal.

Don t touch that
Fallen Wire!
Despite all of Hydro’s careful precautions, there are times when storms
or unavoidable accidents cause electric wires to break down. When that
happens, don’t touch that fallen wire ! Your very life may be at stake.
Keep curious children—and adults—away at all costs. Shock, severe burns
and worse can result from.touching such a wire.
If you discover an electric wire on the ground or hanging dangerously
low, remember these three things:
1. Don’t, under any circumstances, touch the wire,
2. Stay on guard and keep everyone away until help arrives.
3. Have someone notify the police and the nearest Hydro office at once.
Nothing has been overlooked to give you the best possible electrical
service. But, should trouble^ccur, your co-operation in being careful and
warning others may prevent injury or even loss of life.
Johnston led in prayer, Mrs. Jos. Hor
ton and Mrs. Alex. Corrigan sang a
duet “Out of the Ivory Palaces.”
Mrs. Hetherington outlined the last
chapter of the study book, “Where’er
the Sun,” stating that there are large
areas in Africa, South America, China
and Japan as yet untouched by mis
sionary effort. In China one man in
4000 is Christian, in Japan one man
in 10,000. There are still 10,000 villages
in Japan without any Christian teach
ing. In Africa the Bible has still to be
printed in 300 languages. So mission
ary work must go on and on. Even in
so-called Christian nations. “Social
and business life ’Is only half Chris-
ian.”
