Government officials, and not only those in the Department of Lands and Forests have realized for a number of years, that the fish and game population of Canada was being rapidly depleted. The large percentage of this depletion can be traced directly to the door of the American tourists, the same ones that the Department of Traâ€" vel and Publicity claim, come to this country "only to view the scenery". The propaganda machine that this department ‘has set up is one to encourage the wholesale destruction of the wildlife in this country. F The only real hope that we have of retaining a certain amount of fish and game for our children to hunt and fish for, is the many sportsmen‘s clubs that ar being organized all over Canada. ‘There are of course even a lot of these that have small concern for the fish and game und are more concerned with taking than they are with conservation. However, the large percentage of these clubs have for members, men that are really interested in helping to better conâ€" ditions for our remaining fish and game. If those clubs that were really interested would get together and bring enough pressure on the government. we are sure that excessive hunting and shooting by tourists would come to an abrupt end. â€" ; Greg Clark. known all over Canada and a great part of the United States, as a writer and conservationist, has now released a statement to the effect that the "Damage done to wildlife in Canada by American tourists can never be paid for in American dollars." He goes on to say that the "Americans have depleted their own country of its fish and game and are now working hard at doing the same in | Canada." | __ No less a person than Lands Minister Harold Scott has recognized | _ =~~~ â€"â€" ~~~ that the hunting pressure was getting too great on one of our bigger | * game animals, the moose.

A number of statements hav Canadian Wildlife Situation Is Serious Despite the attitude of the government that "they can do no wrong". suflicientâ€" pressure from a combined group of sportsmen would soon convince them that they are wrong. f The seriousness of the wildlife situation in Canada certainly eannot be over emphasized. l While this paper has been harping for some time on the amount of damage done to fish and game in Canada, by American tourists, the situation has now reached such acute proportions as to attract the attention of some of our better known writers and conservationâ€" COU. aN TODs¢!| ‘ d i & I .

KITCHENER, Ont are not in their stalls Special care should be taken to see that milk and cream cans and milking machines are not touched by the spray. DDT in oil solutions may be absorbed through the skin of the animals, and will be found in the milk and in the animal fat. There has been little or no diffiâ€" culty in spraying cattle themâ€" selves with DDT, when wettable powders are used in water, since the water spray does not peneâ€" trate the skin and the residue is not absorbed by the tissues. Even with water spray, care should be taken to see that milking utensils do not come in direct contact with the spray. An official statement has been made by the United States Deâ€" partment of Agriculture, after a meeting of the principal governâ€" ment agencies concerned with the utilization of insecticides. "There is no evidence", the statement says "that the use of DDT in acâ€" cordance with the recommendaâ€" tions of the various federal agenâ€" ciles has ever caused human sickâ€" ness due to the DDT itself. Howâ€" ever, minor toxic symptoms may be produced by kerosene and vaâ€" rious solvents used in DDT and in practically all other insecticide mixtures." The statements deâ€" nounces as "totally without founâ€" dation" published reports that DDT is responsible for the soâ€" called "virus X" disease of man and the "X disease" of cattle. Both these diseases, the Departâ€" ment says, were reported and reâ€" “cogrgized before DDT was ever Spraying dairy barns with DDT, particularly with oil solutions, say officials of the Department, should beâ€"doneâ€"when the cattle All pesticides sold in Canada come under the provisions of the Pest Control Products Act, adminâ€" istered by the Dominion Departâ€" ment of Agriculture. This is done to protect the farmer from buying worthless or highly danger(ms preparations. No preparation is allowed on the market until it has been analysed and approved by technical officials of the Departâ€" ment. If such preparations are used in accordance with the inâ€" structions on the label, they will be effective for the purpose for which they are recommended, and will have no detrimental effects. . A number of statements have appeared recently in United States newspapers which are criâ€" tical about the use of DDT sprays in dairy barns. Some of the stateâ€" ments have even gone so far as to suggest that DDT is responsible for "virus X" disease of man and "X disease" of cattle.
