m uiiune tiorufir- jiwt ff ww tw it no hunting signs the farmers answer to trespassers stouffville the words no trcs- pain2 or orders to that affect arc perhaps the most commonly printed sijms seen today in the fields and voodlots of southern ontario unless fomething unforeseen occurs to change the trend there is little doubt that more such sijns will be seen in the future a warning why is this so is it to warn tramps away to caution people away from some danecr a warning to friends and neighbors in most cases the answer is no more probably it is a warning to you mr hunter to stay off the land although game belongs to the crown not the landowner the landowner has control of entry to and use of his properly for any purpose includ ing hunting your hunting licence does not give you the right to trespass it only permits you to hunt and take certain numbers of animals and birds during their open seasons private lands opportunity to shoot it in who owns the land in season however game southwestern ontario al- alerted by early hunters is though a small percentage belongs to the crown crown lands provincial parks etcetera a very high percentage is in pri vate ownership a good proportion of the land today is gradually passing from the hands of farmers in lo those of in dividual nonfarmer ab sentee owners nonfarm rural residents who prcer to live in the country and work in the city or sur rounding area who use their land for personal rec reation hunting on such lands although posted is often granted to the fam ily friends or by permis sion in many cases such posting is a means of reg ulation rather than a means of prohibiting hunt ing remaining lands apart from municipal and urban development arc owned and controlled largely hy farmers living on and til ling the soil and whose chief occupation is farm ing the average farmer does not post his lands against hunting or trespas sing to promote better present and future farmer- hunter relationships it is very desirable tljat hunters always ask for permission to hunt from the land owner why does the owner post his property protection from irre sponsible hunters such as groups tramping down grain leaving gates open so that farm slock can wander from the field parking vehicles in farm lanes and litter bugling personal and family safely discharging lire arms in and around buildings in areas where the v farmer is working where children arc play ing close to farm animals and fowl and the intentio nal shooting at limes of such animals and birds damage to fences breaking down and cutting of fences causing damage that must be repaired al the farmers epcnse a chance lo hunt game himself since ihc land helps support game found on it many farmers feci that they should have ihe less available to the farm er who hunts later in the day after completing his morning chores these are only some of ihc reasons landowners post their properties from general information gain ed from municipal coun cils sportsmen social groups etcetera the season most farm lands suilablc for hunting arc closed to day is thai the landowner is concerned for his per sonal and family safety hunters who disregard presentday no hunting or no trespassing signs and who conduct themselves contrary to the landowners wishes and the laws and regulations governing wildlife are on ly prompting ihc closing of additional hunting areas lhat could otherwise he open for the enjoyment of future generations ontario county aubrey carson chairman of farm safety council w no trespassing signs are common in all townships

than there were in many previous years large automated units have been set up that make it possible to feed hogs at a very small labour cost improved breeding cross breeding and even hybrcd breeding

mercial hog producer has a lot more security in his business the future for hogs is good there will quite like ly be a price drop in 1967 but the long term pros pects are that hogs will re main in a

prices are really significant if they stay high the other factors like low labour high feed efficiency quality and herd health are all requisites for success and not a mat ter of choice manure handling is one of the keys to low labour costs we have slatted floors gutter cleaners and deep gutters all working well here in york feeding systems have been well developed too spf stock on many practical farmsv here- has proven out well on the dis ease angle feed efficiency and car cass quality are both re lated to breeding and this point merits more atten tion breeding stock with good rto rating is a must for consistent results the use of boars and sows from untested stock is really like buying a pig in a poke and using gilts that have been crossed un crossed outcrosscd back- crossed

farm record books now available the ontario department of agriculture and food is making 1967 record keep ing easier for even the most specialized farmer the department has prin ted two types of farm rec- crd books plus an addition al ledger for the homema- ker previously this record book was only geared to livestock producers while the familiar publication 540 livestock and general farming is still available publication 284 horticul tural and cash crops has been developed because each of these clearly illustrates how the farmers business is devel oping such a record also makes credit easier to ob tain and income tax easier to assess both publica tions provide for canada pension plan payments and the new unemployment insurance that starts in april while ihe horti cultural and cash crops edition also provides a much needed labor section for short time and full- time employment data perhaps the most unique feature however is that publications 540 and 284 have been designed for
