the trapped area was 4.1. alid in the
uatrapped area 3.1. In 1948 the result
WAS the Paine in each Aree.
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

water that last year killed the fry
cannot happen again, according . to
Lands and Forests officials here, Hat-

complete control of the water sup-
plied to the tanks and troughs.
The new installation includes a pipe-
line taking water direct from Colpoy

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.

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,

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
