CONSERVATION CORNER Now that fishing season is well un­ der way anglers will be thinking about the best baits to use for their favorite fish. After th© first few opening days fish are harder to catch and many anglers resort to live bait, One of the best all-round live baits is the min­ now. A minnow hooked gently through both lips is a good fish getter on those warm lazy summer days, Sometimes a float or bobber is used to keep the minnow off the bottom. A split shot or two fastened about 8 inches from the hook controls the movement of the minnow and he will usually swim around in a small circle attracting such game fish as the pickerel, pike, bass, LLASHMAR Drive - In THEATRE LISTOWEL, ONT. 2 Shows Nightly - Rain or Shine First Show at Dusk Cartoon and News THURSDAY - FRIDAY June 17 - 18 “Darling How Could You” Joan Fontaine John Lund SATURDAY - MONDAY June 19-21 ‘Man Behind the Gun” (Colour) Randolph Scott Fatrice Wymore TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY June 22 - 23 “Siren of Bagdad” Paul Henreid - Patricia Medina ' THURSDAY - FRIDAY June 24-25 “Black Swan” Tyrone Power Maureen O’Hara musky and even the trout. Many anglers made the mistake in trying to carry too many minnows in their minnow buckets. The average minnow paij won’t ,carry more than a dozen minnows 4 inches long or 2 dozen minnQWS 2 inches long, unless the water is changed at frequent in­ tervals. They will carry further and in better shape in cold water than in warm water because there is more oxygen in cold water. Certain species carry much better than others. The Shiners, for example, do not carry nearly as well as the various species of chubs. The creek chub is just about the best minnow to carry on long trips and it’s a good bait too. We believe a word of warning is in order to all fishermen in regard to liberating minnows, It is strictly against the law to liberate your min­ nows in any water except that from which they came. There is little doubt that a good many of our waters have been ruined via the minnow pail. The sentimental fisherman who re­ leases the remainder of his live min­ nows after a day’s fishing commits an act that can have a far reaching af­ fect. Don’t release those live minnows in a strange waterway, take them home to the neighbours cats or give them to some other fishermen. It should also be drawn to the at­ tention of all fishermen that a new law this year restricts the possession of minnows as follows: Restricted Use of Minnows for Bait Section 3 (2), Sub-Section (A) & (B) of the Special Fishery Regulations, No person other than a commercial minnow dealer shall have in his pos­ session more than 50 minnows for the, purpose of taking or attempting to' take fish from April'1st to and includ­ ing October 31st. From November 1st to and includ­ ing March 31st. no person shall have in his possession more than 40 lbs. of minnows for bait.

Grass Silage is Now Common Practice The making of grass silage is be­ coming a very common practice in all parts of Eastern Canada. Each year more farmers are learning they can use this method to preserve a quant­ ity of their hay crop in a green state and at the peak of its nutritional value. The essential part of the pro­ cess is to pack the fresh cut green material into a compact mass so that all possible air is excluded because otherwise good preservation is not possible. Two questions often asked are WINGHAM, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, JULY Rii, U>54 P««e ttww “What type of silo shall J use?” and “Shall I chop or put in Jong silage?” The stove or upright ©ilo, pf circular construction, is a very common type and is suited only to the storing of short chopped material, Results in this type^of silo are very satisfactory, but one limitation is the filling operation requires extra equipment. The sur­ face, or horizontal silo is a type widely recommended at the present time. Many feature© about this type of con­ struction make it particularly suitable fop use by the average farmer, The main essentials for this type aa in any other, are that it be in a well drained location and convenient for both filling and emptying. Construc­ tion costs are low as materials from the farm woodlot can be used, A mini­ mum amount of machinery is required for filling as the grass can be brought to the silo in dump trucks or wagons which are drawn through the silo and unloaded where needed. The pile is compacted by travelling over it with SIXTH ANNUAL Kin Carnival Fri., & Sat., June 25, 26 Wingham Town Park Rides - Games - Bingo SATURDAY NIGHT DRAW for 1954 DODGE CRUSADER PROCEEDS FOR COMMUNITY SERVICE WORK OF WINGHAM KINSMEN CLUB. the loads and also by additional tramping with a tractor or other heavy vehicle. A surface silo, built at Experimental Farm, Nappan, has been in use for one season, one half was filled with w- chopped grass and the other witbi chopped grass. The unchopped silage required considerable more space per ton than the Chopped material there being, only 85 tons of unehopped grass stored in the same volume as was re­ quired for 125 tons of chopped. The silo Was designed for self feed­ ing with cattle entering from both ends and reaching through movable barriers to eat the silage. Th© chop­ ped grass proved more satisfactory than th© unchopped under self feeding conditions. Irrespective of the type of silo or the method of harvesting a properly conducted grass silage program will ensure that regardless of weather conditions forage crops can be har­ vested at the proper time, Ptfttes / Sjpicmosr V> Support Your Local LIONS CLUB -Buy Planters Peanuts FRIDAY and SATURDAY JUNE 18th & 19th < ROASTEv 9Y SECRET 9R0CESS The Lions Club of Wingham asks Your support in this brief campaign to assist in raising funds for the program of child welfare and comm­ unity service work in Wingham and district.
