Fifty years ago this April my father moved his bhig family from Ohio here to Canada, and all the money he took in the first summer we were here was four dollars and a half ($4.50) for one hundred: and fifty bushels of wood ashes that we sold for three cents per bushel. We gathâ€" ered these ashes where we burnt the loguiles to plant our corn. My broâ€" ther Ted was 17 and I was 13, and [ am absolutely certaimn that we two older hoys made more money with our traps and guns to punrchase warm clothing the first three years we were in Canada than father and all of us got off the wet, newly choppedâ€"out farm. Dear mother begged to go back to Ohio, but we boys saved the situaâ€" tion, and toâ€"day this dear old homeâ€" stead is not for sale or exchange for the rest of the world.

WORKER‘S COâ€"OPERATIV B and the murder I committed in my uneducated innocent ignorance priviâ€" leges me conscientiously to speak to the other fellow who might also be standing in his own light. For illusâ€" tration: â€"There was a dJongâ€"whiskered farmer who lived: about five miles from town. He owned fifty acres of land and had a rail fence all around it. He was just good enough a farâ€" mer to allow the weeds and brush to grow about six inches higher than his corn. â€" This made a perfeect winter harbour for bobâ€"white quail. _ This man would not allow shooting on his premises. I went to ‘him personally and asked permission, but he stoutly] refused. Now, he was an entlmsiastio' politician, and when he went to town on Saturday morning with a basket of eggs on his arm you could best believe he was ging to talk polities the rest: of the day, and would not return homvi until night, If there was no snmv' on the ground, in less than an I would be knocking his quail 1'i§_"hti and left, and would not leave a track| because I would wear moeassins. J was the only market hunter in this township, and whose quail was 1 shooting? â€" ‘Why, bless. your when I gave the matter a second, thought in the right direction, L saw| that J was shooting my own hbrood! stock for next year. In other words, in my bloodthirsty ignorance, 1. was) closing an account that gave me over, two hundred per cent dividends. In July, 1925, I spent two weeks in Alaska and Northern British Colmn-'l bia. One evening I strolled into a‘ I w e e n butcher shop where a man was selling the hind quarter of a young bull moose to the butcher, I inquired of this gentleman as to where he got the moose. â€" He stated that he went down to the lake about twelve miles to mow wild hay, and near where he was working he saw five moose feeding in a small lake. He shot the young bull and let the two cows and calÂ¥ves go.} D Phone 79 The next morning two motor b(i loaded with four native hunt started out to mow the rest of the hay, and at the same time there were at least twentyâ€"five guests at the sumâ€" mer resort that would have given at least a dollar a minute for five minâ€" utes of their lives to have seen thes*e moose â€" alive, _ These ‘‘intelligent" men, standing in their own light, killed the biggest living financial proâ€" position that ever rapped at their door of need. Moreover, they could have gone to other shallow lakes and vathered lilyâ€"pad roots to feed the rg9nht WHhen e sadd . / Crcb dil Lo Cuuâ€" cation you can and then add the learning.

One Sunday morning when I was in Northern British Qolumbw I drifted over to an Indian camp. While there L saw a man come along the shore in a canoe. â€" I approached and asked ‘*Have you been hunting?"" ‘‘No, just fish,""‘ was the reply. ‘‘Any luck?"" ‘‘Not much, just little,"" and as he stepped ashore he took a twoâ€"bushel bag fully twoâ€"thirds filled with fish from his canoe and poured them out on the green, green grass in front of me. â€" Reader, my eyes almost struck fire and my heart leaped with the thrill, as this bag of beauties wriggled and flopped there in the sun on that green sod. My first words were: ‘*Mister, I never saw fish like those before." ‘+No,‘‘ he replied, ‘"‘I don‘t guess * on the green me. â€" Reader, fire and my thrill, as this likely you ever did, ‘cause dem is erayling trout.‘‘ If my memory serves me right these fish were about fifteen inches long, and would weigh about two pounds each, and the were as uniform as silver dollars. We may have grayling trout in Onâ€" tario, but I have never seen one. Yet [ firmly believe we can have them here by the millions. Another interesting sight for me was wlhen 1 visited a gcame fish hatchery near Portland, Oregon. â€" Here a little river came spouting over the high rocks and fell into spray fully one hundred and fifty feet below, where the river took anâ€" other short tumble into a small lake. This lake appeared to have hundreds upon hundreds of big rainbow trout that were so tame they would actually follow you. â€" These, L understood, were their brood fish. Then I was shown â€" some large cement vats, about eight feet in width and fully one hundred and fifty feet long. The water which was from three to five feet deep in these vats, automatically came in at one end and out at the other, and I know I am not exaggeratâ€" ing when I say there were tens of millions of fingerling trout there all ready for distrtbution over the State. But what interested me most was that only one aman and his wife were reâ€" quired, apparently, in caring for this wonderful success. This ‘gentleman manager told me that those baby trout, that were then about the size of one‘s finger, grew to weigh two pounds and over in two years. Now there is one great mistake that fully ninety per cent. of our people are making. They are looking upon this conservation question as a sports man‘s proposition only, when the faci is it is the biggest undeveloped comâ€" mercial opportunity our vast and beautiful Ontario has to offer us. Yes, conservation, as I see it, has got every citizen of Ontario by the coat collar, holding on with ‘both hands, and lookâ€" ing us square in the face, begging us to help ourselves, In closing, let me make a suggestion that I trust all readers will consider carefully.. Let us all line up and hold the biggest national educational conâ€" servation convention that ever was held in North America, and let us hold it at Sudbury, Ont., where it will be in easy reach of the trappers and guides, or, in other words, close. to the men who know; and let every sportman‘s organization in Canada be represented, and let us hold this great convention between the 15th and 30th of June. By holding such a convenâ€" tion in late June we ean have outdoor meetings. All of us that have tents can take them with us, and if necesâ€" sary, camp out in the suburbs in order to help out. accommodation. Now, to one and all, if you think this suggestion worth while, get behrmnd i with your pen points at once. I am sure the press will help us.
