Next Tuesday night
March 27 there will be a
very interesting meeting
held at South Huron District
High School.
It is being sponsored by a
South Huron Sportsmen’s
Association and is mostly
being held to rally support
for the pheasant program in
Usborne and Stephen
townships.
The meeting is being bill
ed as a non-business
meeting with four guest
speakers.
These speakers include:
Bob Pegg; Conservation of
ficer from the Wingham of
fice who will speak on the
problems of patrolling and
the reducing of game law
violations in our area.
Ian Watt; Wildlife
biologist from the Wildlife
Research Station near
Maple Ontario. He often
works in our area on fox and
coyote management. His
presentation will be a dis
cussion accompanied by
slides on the control of
rabies in foxes in Huron
County.
Charles Browning Jr.; Ex
ecutive Member of the new-
ly formed South Huron
Sportsmen’s Association
who will explain its struc
ture, aims and plans for the
future.
Fred Walters had planned
to attend earlier but due to
his health will not be speak

South Huron Pheasant

operation and future plans.
In place of Fred, I will be
answering any questions on
Set domestic
price for wheat
The price for Ontario
wheat to processors for
domestic human con
sumption use for the months
of April and May 1979 has
been set at $159.00 per tonne
or $4.33 per bushel f.o.b.
country shipping point.
The price was established
by the Ontario Wheat
Producers’ Marketing Board
March 15.
The price for February
and March was $160.00 per
tonne.
The price for June, the last
month of the current crop
year, will be established by
the board at mid-May.
the Pheasant program and
speaking on the Reeves
Pheasant which we would
like to have released on an
experimental basis for hun
ting this fall.
Hopefully this meeting
will be well attended as it
gives people in the area a
chance to ask questions and
participate whether or not
they are members of any
club. It also looks like the
future of the Pheasant
stocking program rests on
this meeting.
On the fishing scene this
week; it seems there are
now a few rainbows making
their way up the Maitland
River but the fishing is
reported as slow.

Maple syrup producers in
some areas of the province
were caught unaware, as re
cent warm weather started
the sap run two weeks
before normal.
“The sap starts running
when temperatures fluc
tuate from below freezing at
night, to above freezing in
the daytime,” says John
Butler, maple syrup
specialist for the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food. “Temperatures are
well above last year’s at this
time.”
Ontario’s 2000 to 2500
maple syrup producers
produced more than 140,000
gallons of maple syrup last
year, according to Statistics
Canada. Mr. Butler says 90
percent of the syrup is sold
as maple syrup, while the
remainder is marketed as
taffy, maple butter,
maple sugar.
Maple sugar bushes
found throughout
province, but most
located south of Highway 17.
Major production areas are
located in Lanark and Sim
coe counties, and in
Waterloo region.
Modern technology has
changed this traditional On
tario industry. Sap, once
collected in birch bark
buckets, is now pumped
through plastic pipes by
vacuum pumps.
"Some producers use
metal buckets,” says Mr.
Butler. “However, about 50
percent of the producers use
a network of plastic pipes to
gather the sap from the
trees, and pipe it directly
into large storage tanks.”
iiiiniiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiL
“It takes about six taps to
make a gallon of syrup,”
says Mr. Butler. "The
province’s largest producer
makes about 14,000 taps.”
Tapping syrup from maple
trees will not hurt tree vigor
or health. Only about 10 per
cent of the sap, which
carries nutrients to the new
leaf buds, is tapped from the
tree.
Maple syrup
demonstrations and
festivals are held in many
locations throughout the
syrup-producing areas.
These festivals, the largest
of which is held in Elmira,
are scheduled from mid
March to late April.

To help you
get more corn
Keep your attack on
corn rootworm going strong.
Just as in hockey, it takes two good lines to win.
One on the ice, keeping pressure on the opponent,
while the other gets a breather.
The same applies to corn rootworm insecticides.
University researchers say the best way to keep
rootworms from building up resistance to insecticides
is to alternate organophosphate and carbamate
insecticides each year.
To keep your rootworm attack going strong,
every year, alternate these two good lines:
Carbamate Line:
FURADAN® insecticide.
This hard-hitting carbamate
insecticide controls corn rootworms on
contact. Then it is absorbed by roots
to provide long-lasting residual control
of rootworms which hatch later in the
season.
This protects feeder roots needed for
fast, vigorous growth. And it protects
brace roots needed to prevent lodging
and harvest losses. The net result:
more corn.
The hard, purple granules won’t
bridge or cake in the applicator, either.
Organophosphate Line:
®DI-SYSTON
systemic insecticide.
The low-cost organophosphate insecticide with
rootworm wallop. Contact activity controls rootworms in the
soil at planting time; systemic activity extends control
throughout the active larvae season. Dl-SYSTON doesn't
have a minimum rate to be economical and a maximum
rate to do the job. Dl-SYSTON has only one rate—
a rate that is both economical and effective.
