A vibrant man in his early seventies with a Santa Claus type beard, he's been studying peat for close to half a century. In fact, he created the classification system for peat. He's also a consultant for a team of researchers taking an inventory of how much peat is available in Canada. The government wants to know if it's possible to use peat as a low cost fuel. The team sends aerial photos of bogs located in various parts of the country to Dr. Radforth, and he sends back a report on the peat potential in certain areas. Survey teams then send ground samples which he identifies in the labora- tory of his rambling home on the outskirts of Parry Sound. But Dr. Radforth has moved ahead on his own to develop a product called "Peat Heat". It comes in compressed peat bricks that he says have a higher energy content than the befit wood. A company has been formed to market the product with the peat coming from bogs around Parry Sound. With Field Manager Mike Thompson leading the way we went out to see where Professor Radforth's newest baby was born. And that's how I happened to be slosh- ing around in a bog. It turned out to be a pretty old baby. Maybe about 3,000 years old and some peat in the district is 10,000 years old or more. I learned something else about bogs. They're tricky. You don't see the holes. What looks like nice solid foliage hides a two -foot hole. Even an old pro like Dr. Radforth fell into one. I was lucky. They steered me away from the bad spots. Mike reached way down into the moist ground and brought up a fistful of peat. Brownish gooey stuff. "There are 17 different types of peat," said Dr. Rad - forth, taking a bit of the stuff from Mike's hand. "'pis type is excellent for energy." He went on to tell me how they dig ditches, drain off the moisture and extrude the peat into four -inch bricks. "In some European coun- tries, they've been using peat for heat for hundreds of years," he said. ",Ireland now generates 211 per cent of its elect�t' from peat," he added. 1 ,°4 's' As w edged back to the highway, I was thinking that some of those old fossils just below the surface of the bog must be pretty hot stuff. Which all goes to prove that there's no fuel like an old fuel. 4
