But, like people in all walks of life, they may also be helping you in certain important un- seen ways. Take your postman, for in- stance. He may have helped to build your home through his ownership of life insurance. It's possible — because the money of thousands of life insurance policyholders is invested for them in building homes throughout the nation. In the same way your milk- man, lawyer or nurse may have helped build new highways, waterworks, schools, power. plants or other essential public works in your community. And—who knows—perhaps your job too was created by these life insurance policyholders' dollars, invested to develop new businesses and industries. So anyone who owns life in- surance — including probably you — does more than provide financial security for his family. He also serves ,his fellow- citizens in all these useful ways!

' R. HAMILTON, The Fanning Mill by Bob Carbert In a very short time, farmers in Western Ontario will be busy raising ned with the 1953 seeding season, and there will be little time for such things as recreation, and sleeping in the This year, when you are ready to start the seeding job, make sure that you have all your equipment ready, and your supplies at hand, so that you will be able to make use of all the fine weather that happens to come your way. First of all, equipment. I know of many farmers, who have been busy all winter, during the slack season, re- pairing machines, taking them to piec- es and rebuilding them, checking for broken parts, and getting them re- paired. This works to advantage in more ways than one. In the first place, you can work at your own conven- ience, you can take your time getting the replacement parts, and if there is any welding to be done, the men who are in this business, usually have a slack period during the winter months. When seeding starts, and the equip- ment starts to fall to pieces, more often than not, you can't even get near the blacksmith or welder, much less get anything done on the day you need it. The same can be said for new equipment. If you are ordering or buy- ing new machinery, get it on time, and make sure it is properly set up before you start out in the field. Then, the question of seed. It is im- possible for a farmer to buy seed that O.

This year if you haven't already done so, get your seed cleaned and cleaned well, either at an approved cleaning house, or by using your own fanning mill, and a great deal of care, If you Want to get improved varieties, order early, and insist, on the best, It will pay in the long run. Finally, if you have good equipment and good seed, you might as well go all out, and give that seed a chance for a proper start, by applying the right amounts of commercial fertiliz- ers to the fields. There is no use wast- ing gas, time or seed on a field that will not give you a good yield in the fall, If the fields on your farm are not producing, it, is more than likely, the productivity of that soil is low. Give it a boost with fertilizer or barnyard manure. If you use fertilizer, a soil test, that costs you nothing, will give you an accurate indication of the right analysis of fertilizer to use, Farming is a business, as well as a way of life, and the man who operates with fore- sight, is the man, who will he able to look back, with success in his twilight years. As you sow, so shall you reap, and with the seeding season just about on our heels, make your plans to be ahead this fall, come harvest time.

Unusually large numbers of sea lampreys and lamprey seamed white- fish were found in certain locations at certain seasons during investigations conducted in Lake Huron last August .by 3. C. Budd, Department of Lands and Forests Research Division, ac- cording to a report from the Depart- ment just released. During one phase of the experi- mental fisheries project undertaken by this biologist in the waters of Lake Huron near South. Baymouth, Mani- toulin Island, five lifts of three boxes of large-mesh gillnets (4,500 feet) were made from 10 to 12 fathoms deep. Among the fish taken were 38 sea- lampreys and 99 whitefish. Lamprey scars counted on the whitefish total- led 65. Mr. Budd's report mentioned that sea lampreys had been observed at various times attached to the boat. At first, it was thought that the lampreys had left fish taken in the nets, as the nets were lifted, and attached them- selves to the nearest object, in this case he hull of the boat, Later, how- ever, the report pointed out, lampreys were found attached to the boat when dry gangs of nets were being set. Since sea lampreys have no swim bladder, it was concluded that these individuals must have been swimming actively in the vicinity near the sur- face. Similar conditions of prevalence were reported from the Stokes Bay area by Seymour Knight, a commer- cial fisherman of that port, who co- operated in the investigations. Knight's report stated that: "Lam- preys were very numerous here dur- ing July and August. A large percent- age of whitefish showed fresh scars. At times, five to six lampreys could be seen attached to the stern of the boat." Budd's report emphasized that single counts with limited numbers of fish from a few areas leaves much to be desired and expressed the hope that similar counts might be made at reg- ular intervals throughout the com- mercial fishing seasons in various locations. Such surveys, the report suggested, if carried out over a period of years, could provide a means of measuring changes in lamprey abund- ance and might prove useful in evalu- ating such future control measures as the Department may undertake. Past observatio'ns, Mr. Budd stated in his report, indicate a possible mig- ration of lampreys along the south shore of Manitoulin Island toward Georgian Bay. Georgian Bay fisher- men take more lampreys during the fall than earlier in the season but, in general, lampreys seem to be less numerous in Georgian Bay than in Lake Huron proper or that part of the North Channel west of Little Current. The reason for this distribution pat- tern is not definitely known at pre- sent but nearness to major lamprey spawning streams is suspected. It was thought that information on the inci- dence of lamprey scarring over a wide area might be useful in following pos- sible migration routes and, if contin- ued at regular intervals, might also provide an index to abundance.
