An analysis of the storeaehs of 442 of the foxes taken showed the food content percentage to be as follows: rabbit, 12.3; mice, 67.8; pheasant 4; poultry, 4.8; other birds, 14 5; insects, 14.1; fruit 20,3; grass, 45.7; miscel- laneous, 12, The pamphlet concluded with these words, "The one major conclusion to be- drawn from this study is that, de- spite reducing the fox population to A Very low level, fox control did not in- crease pheasant abundance appreci- ably." It seems also apparent from the above figures that with only 4% of his diet consisting of poultry, the fox is not too great an enemy of the farm- er, either. Wiarton Fish Hatchery now has its own water supply. The unfortunate sudden Influx of heavily chlorinated water that last year killed the fry cannot happen again, according . to Lands and Forests officials here, Hat- ehery officials at Wiarton now have complete control of the water sup- plied to the tanks and troughs. The new installation includes a pipe- line taking water direct from Colpoy Bay, a large steel reservoir set into the ground, t be pumping .ne-iteni and the control apparatus.. On completion of the work, 700,000 eyed lake trout eggs were transform- ed from the Port Arthur and Sault Ste. :Marie hatcheries and moved into the Wiarton plant. These eggs will be cultured and a large percentage plant- ed in commercially fished waters. A small percentage will be planted in game fish waters which need restock- ing. A. limited number of fingerlings will be reared to yearling size at the (Chatsworth Trout Rearing Station. In the meantime all unfilled 1952 applications for lake trout from ;Wiarton have been carried forward to 1953.

The average number of seeds both grasses and Actual field tests prove that, com- pared to the usual methods of seed- ing, a Brillion Sete-Stand Seeder saves as much as half in seed costs alone! Considering today's seed prices, this means a Sure-Stand Seeder quickly pays for itself—often in less than two days of seeding. It helps assure you a better catch and a sure stand, too. Your seed is metered out at the exact rate you want and packed gently in the top half inch of the soil—where it will germinate best, `What's more, with a Brillion Sure-Stand Seetl.er, yen do the entire ssois+mossismsmotsssonsis,WIniss.ksiasissusiossiwasssissimmisssininsaossiinississs 0 - 0 - 0 It took 151 hunters approximately 755 days of hunting to bag 24 moose in the Gogama district during the open season which ended December 24th last, according to a report re- ceived- by the Department of Lands and Forests here from District For- ester J. M. raylor. This is no criterion as to the num- ber of moose in the District, however, since the same group of hunters sight- ed 312 moose during their travels and from an aerial survey of four hours duration, carried out recently, 78 moose were counted in a relatively small section of the district. the re- port stated, Because of the late opening and the later than usual freeze-up. all hunting was confined to railway right- of-ways and a relatively few logging roads. Heavy snowfalls about mid- season followed by quiet weather fur- ther aggravated the situation making it almost impossible to get within gun range of the moose whose hearing is very keen. In the aerial survey, about three cow moose were observed for every bull counted. Calves made up about 26% of the total herd. This 'appears to be a fairly healthy reproduction figure, the report states 'but goes on to suggest that, if the present sex ration of moose is to be maintained, or improved, it would seem logical that both cows and bulls be taken, 0 - - 0 Applications for nursery stock from government nurseries in Ontario for planting on private lands should be forwarded immediately to the De- partment of Reforestation if the trees are required for spring planting. Although more than 20 million trees were distributed last year from the provincial nurseries, the demand ex- ceeded the supply by far and, accord- Mg to Division Chief E. J. Zavitz, many prospective planters had to do without. The August ].5th deadline for acceptance of applications no longer applies, Applications will be accepted until spring shipping time and trees will be allocated as long a; they last, Owners of private lands may obtain Lands and Forests nursery stock for reforestation work under the follow, ing conditions; The land oh Which these trees are to be plante.i. must be in Ontario and have an area of at least two acres over and above any portion occupied by structures. The trees Mast be -used to establish, enlarge or replenish wood or shelter belt. A tiorninal charge is now made for planting stock from provincial nurs- eries.
