'Under the title, "What Is Con- versation", 'these two authorities on the •forests, streams and mantels of Canada, will outline what conserva- tion involves, not only as regards ani- mals directly, but including also the necessity of preserving their environ- ment. Professor Coventry was 'heard last season in .a series, "'Animal Eco- nomics, and Man", in which was pre- sented a member of absorbing and in- formative discussions on the balance in nature. This new series will carry the discussions forward and show the immense importance of preserving the pattern of the animal community. The next 'broadcast in the series will be heard on Wednesday, March 310th at the same time. Shades of Robert Service If, in the near future, your loud speaker should quiver .violently as a blood-ourdling !howl of a wolf is heard, you will know that the 'CBC Special Events Department acted up- on the suggestion made recently by an enthusiastic radio fan of 'Richmond, Sask. The Richmond citizen wrote to the CBC as follows: Dear Sir: Wroudd like to be advised by return mail, if my howling 'wolves or the prairie wolf known as the Coyote, would be of any value to howl over the Radia. I have a pair of Coyotes hear, that are 'how'ling all the time. I guess there is about everything now being 'broadcast but the !howl of the wolf. Any time want them: to howl I only' have to ask them to howl. May- b•ee I should have some pictures tak- en of themand send them 'along with my next letter, 'howling with there mouth's a 'little more than wide open, showing them in the act. "I have had 20 years exp'erience•with the Coyote's, ,Now 3 know how to take them, its not everylbody that can take my place with them. I'ts like ,eaoh and every animal with this trainer. 'Now I have the telephone mlaylb'ee there ,could be a nvicerp'hone installed in the oeniter of them both, and attach it to the tel- ephone and send their voices or there prowl into a 'broadc'asting station like this. .Please oblige nee.

MOUND FOUND I'N WEST WAWANOSH 1(By W.H.'Johnston in the London Free Press). We were thrilled 'recently as we read of a noted 'Egyptologist's discov- ery of an ancient tomb. in, the valley of the Nile 'where the remains of some of 'Egypt's great ones have 'lain hidden for untold centuries, The find- er more or less acquainted with the lomew'hait 'fragmentary 'history of those ancient days 'can tell us from this 'knowledge land from the inscrip- tions written on the sarcophage who the ,00eu'pants were, when they lived. where, .in 'what .s'ta'tion of society they moved ' and with • what national achievements they may have had a part. Thus something may he learned about those ancient •p•eople. Evenin this new Wand of ours there are a few links that reveal sonnethin'g of the past and yet 'because the aborigines were lacking in •4 written language the revelations are meagre indeed. Ln the neighborhood of Iona there are to be seen the re - :rains of what is presumed to be an Indian fort. The walls were of, clay, surrounding -a email area that oc•cup- aed both sides of a small stream of water. The lwalls today are in no place mere than four feet high, if my memory serves me. 'correctly. Sosese 21z years ago I visited friends in ide old Williams -Pearce settlement in the township of S'eethwoid and one summer ;afternoon I went across the road to view the old font and to dream of the ,past in oonnection with it.'Oth- ers :had come in previous years to dig for Indian adios in the shape of ar- row heads, pipes, skinning stones, hatchets, etc. To nie the thought was repulsive. I would much rather leave !these links with the past, hidden away beneath the sod and have this primi- tive fortification, ,if such it be, pre- served for future generations to visit and ponder over its building and the wherefore of it, 'Was it in time of peace in prepara- tion for war? Was it bviet as a last stand in a war of extermination? Or was it a 'protective home for a new tribe, looking for a likely place to live? Or did some white man chance along Who taught those Indians 'how to build a fort? Hove high and sub- stantial were the walls? How long ago were they 'built. But we ask in vain. All is silent.

'It is stupposed to be the works of the !Mound Builders but if so it is the only one, probably, in Western 'Ontario. There are a few north of L. ;Ontario, situated not far front 'Rice 'Lake on Lake Scugog of •.which I 'have rad but they Could scarcely have any connection with this ane, The Mound Builders were a pre- historic race, who formerly lived in the 10'hio and Mississippi Valleys. who have left some remarkable earth- works as their only memorials, The mound in West Wawanosh is about (17 yards in circumference at the bane; about 114 Feet high, and ellip- tical in shape. It is situated 'close to the ,east end of Mud Lake in a .swamp. Though it is 'several rods into the swamp yet it as built of clay, not the muck of the swamp. It mttst have been a heavy Rask to transport the clay in baskets ,from the thigh land to the mound, When built it was prob- ably considerably larger and higher than it is today because from indi- cations it must have been !built at least 5100 or 8119 years ago. Who knows but that a century elapsed after the building before the trees began to :.grow. These centuries of weathering must have reduced the mounds height and clianteter. Now we are confronted with the_ questions: Who built it -,and why? Of course, it is easy to suggest that the Mound Builders did it. But why was ,it built in the swamp instead of 'on the dry land not far away? Or bet- ter still, why not on a 'hill about half - a -mile away on the same farm. Then there is only one mound we ever 'heard of in Western 'Ontario, If any of .our readers know of others let Its hear from you. If built by Mound Builders it may .be :possible that a small 'band were either venturesome to travel 'away from 'home or possvbly they were 'outlaws and were driven out from' the parent tribe. 1 -low much more likely it is that it is ,the •wank of one of the early tribes of Indians? The Indians were living here olg0 years ago. !Probably many centuries before that and they appeared to love the stark 'and myster- ious woodland. True it is not told of the Indians that they built mounds but it is true that the southwestern Indians in the (United States slid. May we not imagine with some certainty of its being ttrue that there was a 'nohile Indian chief ,with snore than ordinary respect for the women of his tribe and when his beloved wife .passed an to the happy hunting grotmds he reared the memorial mound over her grave. If any readers are anxious to see this mound they may •find it without trouble if they go out the 'northern gravel road from tGoderich and con- tinue votil they reach Glen's Hill, one block north of Dungannon. Then turn east into 'West Wawanosh about 3 miles and inquire for the owner of the farm, A. E. 'Johnston. Some day someone may be fable to solve the mystery. Preparing Report Milk Cost Production Carried on 'jointly by the ;Economic Branch, .Dominion !Department of Agriculture, 'Ottawa, and the Ontario Agricultural College. !Guelph, the technical work of the Farm Manage- ment and Milk Cost IPrdject is being promoted as ripidly as possible. This study was initiated by the organized milk producers of 'Ontario and was made possible by the co-operation of ils1073 farmers located in all the agri- cultural sections of Ontario. These farmers kept complete records of their (business for the year ending July 11, 119317. The field staff visited each co- operator to ,assist in keeping the re- cords, and again, at the year end, to check all details and to stake sure that the accounts were complete. Eight hundred completed farm ac- counts ,have lbeen received at the Ot- tawa office, and a represen'tatiye'group of completed account records bas been secured from practically every County of Old Ontario, along 'with several records from producers who sell to the whole milk markets of Northern 'Ontario towns and cities. The staff began to collect records in July, 119317, ,and ,completed the task in January, 1191318. The 'farm account records •which have been assembled, provide detail- ed information relative to milk pro - election costs, along with a complete statement concerning the receipts and expenses of the whole farm 'business. It will be 'possible, for this reason, to ,prepare a report concerning milk pro- duction costs in a9'1 localities ,and for all types of marlcets and. also, to pre- sent a full .statement relative to the success or otherwise, of the whole dairy farming 'business on each farm. The 'farm management phases of the study will provide information ' relat- ing to Iproduttion yields per unit and will be particularlyvahiable as an aid. to .dairymenin increasing the net rev- enue on their farms.
