"Jack rabbit drives are being

for the few cottontail rabbits in
some areas. If the truth• were
known, the number of cotton-
tail killed by fox is probably•only
a fraction of the number killed
on the 'roads by cars. The chief
food of the fox is mice and he
is given very little credit for the
good he does, ••
What Is Your Opinion?
NOTE: The Ontario Federation
of Anglers and Hunters have
consistently requested.- the , De-
partment to place limitations on
the numbers of hunters permitted
on jack, rabbit drives.. Several
reasons for asking this is to con-
serve jack rabbit hunting and to
place it in the. category of sport
it richy deserves. We believe the
curtailment of these huge drives
would do much to cement better
Farmer -Sportsmen relations. We
think the following Department
of Lands and Forests News Re-
lease is well worth reading:
"If we wipe out the fox and the
rabbit in Ontario, then we may
as well hang up our guns, for
our hunting days will be over".
• Thus, in the defence of much
maligned Br'er Fox, speaks Lake
Huron District Forest I. C. Mar-
ritt, Hespler, of the Ontario De-
partment of Lands and Forests.
"Ever since the fox became
numerous in the southern count-.
les of Ontario, hunters have tried
to annihilate him because, it is
"So you think the fox' should
be exterminated? Do you think
that rabbits should be "cleaned
from the'-fields"by men who herd
them into one corner and slaugh-
ter them? Or are we so-called
sportsmen' sporting " enough to
give our game a chance for sur-
vival in return for what they
give us? Remember, it is man,
not fox; that unbalances nature."

Conservation is a, broad sub-
ject. . As such it must be treated
broadly,
The need for the conservation,
and restoration as far as may be
possible, of wildlife and other
natural resources grows con-
stantly as the population of every
Province of Canada continues to
increase. With that increase, the
number of fishermen, hunters
and others who enjoy Nature in
the out-of-doors is greatly aug-
mented.
Many people who realize the

need for conservation remain
ignorant of its importance to
themselves and their descendants.
Dr. E. 5. Archibald, Ottawa, an
executive 'of the Food and Ag-
riculture Organization of the
United Nations, estimated that
in 1949 the world (including
Canada) had only two acres to
support each person on it. Two
acres per person does not give
Canadians much more to waste
through the destruction of forest
cover and other actions which
permit lands to be eroded and
top soil blown or washed away
at an alarming rate.
The creed of a Nigerian chief
carries a message to all Canad-
ians who are interested in• con
servation. It reads: "I conceive
that the land belongs to a vast
family, of which many are dead,
few still living, and countless
numbers arestill unborn."
Realizing that conservation of
resources must be approached on
a broad basis, it is encouraging
to see that sportsmen in Quebec,
through the Quebec Federation
of Fish and Game Association, set
up a liaison committee to work
on this problem with forest pro-
tective associations. The present
day 'concept is that all phases
involved -in a conservation pro-
gramme are interlocking. Rivers
and lakes must be kept from
drying up and becoming polluted
if they are to support ' food and
game fish, birds and other aquatic
life. Green forest cover is
essential to the wildlife which
inhabits it. These phases all con-
cern the sportman.
His share of the job is covered
by sportsmanship; by dealing
with all wildlife in a sportsman-
like manner, taking only what
he needs and d can use, of fish,
game birds and animals.
With his co-operation by ob-
serving fish and game protective
laws and .,,encouraging others to
do likewise and by taking all
possible precautions against fire
in the woods, there should be
enough flab arid -game for every-
one. Sportsmen may also con-
sider the following• extract from
a i Monthly Letter of the Royal
Bank of Canada, which reads:
• 'Conservation,, may be sum-
marizecY,asi medhiaig, 'We *ill
use without using up.' It also
means the restoration to sustain-
ed productivity of worn or dam-
aged resources, and it means
selection of land . according to
the best it is capable of giving."
