NOVICES TAKE 200 -MILE CANOE TRIP—Although the
members of the party had only spent an hour or two in
a canoe before they left, Ray McCarter, R.R. 1 Hay,
above, his father and brother, completed a 200 -mile trip
, down the Abitibi river without serious difficulty. Only
dangerous incident came at the Sextant rapids where the
three got caught in a fast stream which nearly upset
them. —T -A Photo

On First Canoe Trip
A young Stephen township
resident, who had hardly spent
' a day in a canoe be?ore, re-
! turned last week. from an eight-
day, 200 -mile trip down the Abi-
tibi river from Cochrane to
# Moosonee, near James Bay.
Ray McCarter, 27, of R.R. 1 r
Hay, his father and his brother,
both of Dixie, completed with- I
i out serious mishap an adventure
which veteran buthinen regard'
as a hazardous ordeal,
The only practice they had in;
their 17 -foot freighter canoe he
fore setting out was an hour or,
two on the river at Grand Bend'
earlier in the. year and the Mc-
Carter family was careful not
'to get caught in then.
The idea behind the voyage
came from Ernie McCarter,
Ray's dad, a former district
resident now in Dixie, who has
always wanted to see the north
country. He purchased the canoe
from a well -travelled Indian
who gave him some sound ad-
vice for the trip. Charles, a 15-
year-old Scout, was the third
member of the party.
The three set out from. Coch-
rane
och
rane with enough provisions to
last them for two weeks. Food
and bedding, wrapped in plastic
bags, was tide to the canoe and
the men wore life jackets as a
precaution. '
The first day, they travelled
27 miles and stayed overnight
in a deserted log cabin. First of
many portages were made
around. a private dam near. Is-
land Fella in heavy rain on the
second day. A hut built by the
Canyon Conservation Club serv-
ed
as shelter t13at night.
The party covered 30 miles the
third day but rains held them
up the fourth.
Their adventure on the Sex-
tant rapids occurred during the
fifth day and, after patching up
the canoe, they proceeded
through several smaller rapids
before making camp at the top
of an 80 -foot cliff,
A hydro engineering crew,
making surveys for power dams,
invited theto dinner on the
sixth day and they learned they
were the first to cotyle down the
river .for nearly a month.
The next night was spent at a
deserted logging camp in a 40-
foot building niade of one-piece
logs.
After fighting heavy winds and
more rapids, the McCarters
reached • Moosonee about 4:30
pat. on the eighth day, stayed
overnight, and caught the North-
land Railway train to return to
civilization.
At Moosonee, they learned
I
during which time they nianag- i
I ed to overturn the craft:
Despite this, the modest young;
i Stephen farmer obviously does i
not consider the feat much out
j of the ordinary. "We didn't have.
! much trouble," he recalls. "It
was a good trip but we were a
bit disappointed because we!
I didn't see, any bear or moose
along the way." •
I Ray admits, however. that the
party had several anxious mom-
ents when they tackled, un-!
knowingly, ,a stretch of rapids'
they had been warred to avoid.,
They rode the Sextant rapids,i
which cover a 16 -foot drop in'
'less than a mile, and escaped;
with only a hole and cracked
'rib in the canoe and a thorough;
soaking.
`We were trying to watch for
these rapids, because we had
been warned about thein, but we'
I got caught in them before we
realized it. The first wave,'
about four feet high, was the.
toughest. It soaked us to the'
skin and left about four feet ofi
water in the bottom of the
canoe."
After that experience, they,
didn't have much trouble manip-,
the rest of the rapids
on the route.
They did manage to avoid.
however, one disastrous rapids
through which the river drops
87 feet in two miles. One person
had already been killed on these

FOR TOP FALL GRAIN YIELDS
For Example:
* !gin acre of wheat yielding 40 bushels per acre removes
664 lbs. nitrogen, 26,6 lbs. phosphorous, 40 lbs, potas-
sium from the soil.
* At a rate of 8 tons manure par acre, only 24 lbs. nitro-
gen, 8 itis, phosphorus and 32 lbs. pptassium will. be
Available the first year --- and then only under ideal
managerial conditions (i'na•iture applied directly and
plowed under.)
* So, where you want at least 40 bus. fall wheat per acre,
make up the nutrient deficiencies by applying of least
100 lbs. 424.12 fertilizer — even whoa using 'manure.
