On Easter Sunday morning, the

beds, but also many youngsters for
an early start on the search for Easter eggs, etc., so we heard from many
parents on Monday morning, who complained of the long day.

Among many precautions taken by
the Ontario Department of .Lands and
Forests to prevent neglected fires
from becoming forest conflagrations
is tjie Forest Travel Permit which
will be required again this year by
fishermen, campers and all others
travelling in forested areas during
the fire season.
This year, to help Forest Rangers
determine forest, travel, all of the
Pembroke District has been declared
a Forest Travel Permit Area from
April 1 to October 31. Persons must
obtain a permit before travelling into
the forested areas of this district.
Under the Travel Permit system, a"
Chief Ranger can foretell what areas
under his supervision will be heavily
travelled and can adjust his fire de
tection and suppression forces to the
best advantage in case of‘fire occur
rence,
In addition, if a traveller is lost, a
check of his permit aids in the search
for him. The permit also reminds the
carrier of his responsibility to see that
he does not cause a forest fire by
carelessness or neglect,
Permits are easily obtained free
from Forest Rangers. Forest Travel
Permits are required in the whole of
the Algonquin Provincial Park.
Morris Merikel, of Wadena, Minne
sota, entered claim at the Ontario De
partment of Lands and Forests office
for bounty on 20 timber wolves which
he had shot from an. airplane. During
the winter of 1953-54 he bagged 44
wolves from a plane in Ontario and 26
in Northern Manitoba. He’s credited
with being Ontario’s best consistent
airplane wolf hunter,
‘ As an experiment, there will be no
length limit on yellow pickerel or
perch taken by angling anywhere in
Ontario this year. This is' in accord
ance with amendments to the Ontario
Fishery Regulations effective in 1955.
“The no-length limit on pickerel is
on a trial or experimental basis and
anglers and sportsmen are requested
to study the conditions carefully and
report the results of .their observations
next fall to their local Department of
Lands and Forest officers,” Dr. W. J.
K. Harkness, Chief of the Division of
Fish and Wildlife, announced.
The limit for anglers on yellow
pickerel was six in one day, not less
than 14 inches in length in Lake Erie
and not less than 15 inches in length
In other waters. Few perch, the length
limit was not less than nine Inches in
the St. Lawrence River and tributaries
east of Robideaux Bay in Cornwall
Twp. No length was specified in other
waters.

Crop Report
by G. W. Montgomery
Approximately 50% of the spring
grains are now seeded, much of the
acreage still to be seeded has been
worked over once or twice. Heavy
rains on Wednesday again delayed
seeding operations, but farmers are
again back on the land at the close
of the week. New seedings, old mead
ows and pastures have made except
ional growth and fall wheat is look
ing better each day. The approval of
a television licence for Radio Station
CKNX by the CBC Board of Govern
ors, Monday, is the big news, in the
county this week. The Wingham
station will operate on Channel No. 8
and it will have a directional antenna
at a height of 793 feet. Of particular
interest is the fact that an extensive
farm program is being planned. >

The Fanning Mill
By Bob Carbert
Animal Health
In this day of specialized farming;
it is very important that the Livestock
Farmer pay particular attention to the
health of the animals in his herd,
There are so many diseases that can
strike at a moment’s notice, and in a
few days, rob him of all the profits
upon which he has depended so ’much,
and planned so earnestly. It is the
same with livestock as it is with
humans. It seems that every year new
ailments crop up that require addit
ional research and cost more money.
But the valuable assistance and re
search work being done in our animal
health laboratories, is doing a good
job in cutting down the incidence of
animal. fligeftse, and lowering the
staggering figure that represents
losses through this avenue,
I was interested ..this week to read
a very enlightening story in the April
30th edition of the MacLean’s Maga
zine, a story written about the Ont
ario Veterinary College at Guelph,
its staff, its aims and its graduates. I
would recommend that all farm
people do likewise. It will enable you
‘to better appreciate the work that is
being done in this school, on behalf of
the farm people. We only have to look
back a few short months to the time
when Canada was staggered by the
outbreak of Hoof and Mouth disease
in Western Canada. Our veterinary
surgeons and research workers took
hold of this challenge and in a short
time the problem was brought under
control. More recently the outbreak of
Hog Cholera In Ontario, caused a
similar furor, and once again our Vet
erinary Medicine specialists accepted
the challenge, and did a bang-up job
of cleaning up this menace. I need
only point to the wonderful job that
is being done and has been done, in
the fields of Bovine Tuberculosis,
Warble Fly control, Blackleg Bacter-
ins, Bang’s Disease, and the many
poultry ailments. These research men
and their "team-mates, the Veterinary
Surgeons who serve you in the field,
have done a wonderful job for farm
people. They are on call at all hours,
just like the medical doctors, and they
have at their hand the most modern
equipment and the latest in drugs.
They have taken extensive courses in
surgery and medicine, many of them
travel in radio equipped cars, so that
they will be able to give faster service,
at lower cost. All of them are devoted
to duty, and few get the credit that is
rightfully due to them.
The other day I heard a critic say
of a medical doctor, “He can always
bury his mistakes.” The same has
been said about the veterinary surg
eons by some people who should have
known better. In many cases, people
call the medical doctor and the veter
inary surgeon after it is much too late
to save either the man or the horse.
Let’s give credit where credit is due
and stop giving out with foolish, un
called for criticism, that helps no one.
