TING r CONSERVE TODAY -- FOR TOMORROW 'II give my pledge as a Canadian to save and' faithfully to defend from waste the natural resources of my country, its soil and minerals, its forests, Water and Wild ;life" (Compiled by E. R, Doucette) The Executive riet. Monday night,:May16. Fire Grant t Rath gave a talk on fire fighting equipment and pointed `out what necessary equipment the hall should have: It was pasted that this equipment be bought at once. The chief' also mentioned a few changes to be made in ,the hall to make it more safe for the Public. These changes will be taken care of. The Hall is getting its face lifted with a new coat of paint, Pine Self Fly, also called Dud Worm,e is doing considerable dam- age to the reforestation at the Huron Fish and Game,, Faim. Steps are being taken to have them sprayed as soon as possible. Since there was a very small turn out on Junior Conservation night, May 17, the monthly meet- ing will be called off until the second Tuesday in September. The Junior Rifle Club will meet Mon- day night, May 30, at 7 o'clock; So Boys, if you want some shooting Certainly there is no more beauti- ful fish; The world's record book• trout weighed 14% pounds and was 34 inches long. It' was taken from'. the Nipigon River Where many other record breakers have beep caught,. The fisherman was Dr. W. J, Cook, Port Arthur. While some forest rangersand conserva- tion officers still maintain 'that. there are fish as large or larger in isolated waters of the far north, Dr. Cook's record has stood since . 1915, Actually, trout caught: in Southern Ontario is usually under a pound in weight. A five -pounder will create considerable interest.' Seven or eight -pound trout nor- mally win most fishing contests, What, then, is the speckled trout's tremendous attraction? Probably its beauty and game qualities. The flesh is delicious. Some fish are amber, pink or red while others, taken from the same waters, may have white flesh, Just 'why, no one has' been able to determine as yet. be there with your rifles and don't forget re is rati rg t y ,our g ,t on cards with the, Dominion Marksmen, There will be a members' dance. on Friday night, May 20, in the The Regular meeting, of the. Huron Fish and Game Club will be. held at the Farm at 7 o'clock sharp. ',A large project will be discussed and undertaken so we want every member to be there to say or do his bit. Opening of the speckled trout season in Ontario on April 30 at- tracted more than 100,000 eager fishermen of both sexes. The reason that some even ex- pert fishermen, however, did not come back with limit catches, is that the speckled trout, one of the most prized' of all game fish, may or may not co-operate. There are times when the squaretail will head for shelter at the tremor of a leaf, and other times when he'll .smash a bait almost as big as himself with reckless abandon.

To give producers a,voice in product marketing, Ontario naw has the most advanced legislation of any province. For the, betterment of rural living, the province makes special grants toward. the building of community halls, arenas, skating rinks and swimming pools. 864 projects have been developed under this ,policy. To lighten the farm load and brighten farm homes, the province pays half the cost of new rural hydro lines. Over 85 % of all farm homes have hydro. For more -profitable returns, the Depart- ment of Agriculture, through its Livestock Branch finances a sire -testing program; milk - testing service and provides assistance in the eradication of Brucellosis and Warble Fly. For higher income from dairying, legis-• lation allows producers by collective bargain- ing to obtain best possible returns. Ontario's fluid milk price formula has maintained price stability. To increase the productivity of the land, new seed varieties have been introduced and policies adopted providing for a sound land use program. To open up farm areas in Northern Ontario, the Ontario Department of Agricul- ture gives special grants toward the clearing and breaking of land; assistance in the pur- chase of livestock; veterinary aid and farm water supply. To promote scientific, high -return farm- ing, constant studies are carried out 'by .the Farm Economics Branch, with findings avail- able to all farmers to assist in the lowering of production costs. Under' a farmer Minister, F. S. "Tommy" 'Thomas, and with farmers like W. A. "Bill" Goodfellow of Northumberland and J. N. "Jim", Allan of Haidi- rand -Norfolk in the Cabinet, rural Ontario has an important place in the Progressive Conservative _program. 27-S The colour of the adult trout is variable but can usually be ident- ified without trouble. The back is greenish to dark brown and occas- ionally almost black. Heavy dark wavy lines extend on to the dorsal and caudal fins, On the sides are small well-defined red spots bord- ered by a bluish halo. The leading edge of each lower fin has a milk - white border. Breeding males are particularly colourful. Nature does a good job of propa- gating the trout. In the autumn, the mature fish migrate upstream. Spawning takes place in late Oc- tober to early December in shal- low, gravel -bottomed headwaters of streams and" occasionally in lakes. The adults construct a shal- low depression in clean gravel. The eggs are deposited and fertilized and then covered with gravel. The young, after hatching, live during the winter on the nutrients ab- sorbed from the yolk sac. When the yolk is absorbed, they begin o feed on microscopic organisms. The brook trout eats a wide variety of food, including insect areae, adult insects and fish. But own through the ages has come Iiterature devoted to the speck- ed trout, retelling in a thousand orms how this fish can be fooled with feathers. More, perhaps, than any other fish is the speckled trout the tar - et of fly fishermen. Usually in he early weeks of fishing, the wet fly is most popular. This is a iminutive bunch of feathers and ooks made up to resemble the ommon minnow—or many an un- ommon minnow—but which looks 11 the same to the trout. Later, when the weather warms up, the dry fly man has his day. He uses my floating flies at which the peckled trout sometimes slaps ith his tail and at other times ulps wholeheartedly. Many claim that there is no more thrilling ight than to see a good speckled rout "rise" when the fish are eeding on the surface, usually at usk, and when a jaunty -riding ry fly will take fish after fish. But there are times, too,. when speckled trout has taken the eavy spinner spoon or plug trol- d by the lake trout fisherman, This much less delicate variety is aken in deep waters during sum- er month.§. t 1 d a 1 f g t d h c c a t s w g s t f d d a h le AUBURN James Henry, Windsor visited his sister Mrs. Charles Scott ,on Sunday, Mr. and Mrs, • Kenneth Thain and family, Toronto, spent the weekend with Mr, and Mrs. D.
