About 25 people attended the Ashfield - -Federation of Agriculture -meeting. Wednesday night, 'July 23 to hear a panel from the Ministry of Natural Re.sbur ce s Wadi's the-- to pic,- designated trout streams. They were few in number but those who did attend were vocal in opinions-of opinionof ministry actions on their land and the problems presented by hunteis and fishermen. • Members of the ministry panel in- cluded Norm.Richards, district manager; Art Carr, lands supervisor; John Dobell, district biologist and Blake Evans; conservation officer. All are associated • with the- Ministry of s o Natural Resourceffice in Wingham. Richards explained that the ministry received its first money last year fora fisheries management program to rehabilitate streams in southern Ontario. They are, meagre funds said Richards and priority areas must be designated.' He named the Lucluiovv river as a priority in this area. • He said the ministry hopes to retain the quality of water in the Lucknow river to make it a successful cold water fish habitat. It is a slow process he observed, but there is an aesthetic value to the work being done by the ministry which will upgrade the value of the property along the river. Richards pointed out the ministry has done some work on farmers' land without an agreement with the farmer, but the ministry'tries to be flexible regarding the amount of land required by the ministry to achieve their ob ject ive, He said the ministry officials would rather negotiate than • force penalties. Ashfield farmer Martin Hendricks asked the panel. why the farmer who uses the land for his livelihood should be expected to give the land to those who want it for sport and permit them to tramp.over their.land, s John Dobell answered Mr. Hen- dilek' question by saying there are many in the province who are terested in fishing. Mr. Richards had used .by the ministry to retain a cold- - water stream for a fishing habitat. "WhyrmIst-rtworkthis wayoyer the back of the farmer?" asked Hendricks. Dobell told the meeting the ministry is Considering compensation but at present they do not have the funds available. He pointed out the farmer does not have to permit trespassing on his land. Lands supervisor Art Carr com- mented that the people of this province cannot afford to buy back some of the resources which have been lost. • "When we reach a point where a resource is at the end of its rope," said Carr, "is it criticattnough that the orovince should buy it back?" Legislation, said Carr., shows that the general populace of the province feels, . it, is . important enough that our resources, be nianaged as best_as possible with the least expense. "It is one thing to do what the'general populace wants but another to buy back the land base to protect that resource," observed Carr. Ashfield federation president Clete Dalton told the meeting if the gover- nment wished to provide a recreation area on his farm for hunters and' snowmobilers, he would be "bull- headed" enough to refuse to sell. "I've been raised on that farm and I would not sell it," he added. Joe Hendricks asked what would prevent a subsequent landoWner from tearing out everything the ministry had done on -'a farm under a previous agreement. Art Carr said not Could prevent it and added that the ministry tries to use as little of the good farm land as ..possible. "Some of 'our work looks like a tgoverziment Project';" he said. "The we're trying to take the least land, instead of running a fence straight doWn the length of the strew/12 i: • Clayton Alton, an.

They, have more fishing equipment in their car trunk, than in a hardware store." "The' city guys think they're 'so. and so' and: they _canido_ as the y _please ," said Alton.
