park bring the family and enjqy a night of fun council legionhospital board auspices farmers hunters can be cooperative allies as written for the islington sportsmans club sportsmen who love to hunt and fish the farms and streams of their local rural areas ar finding their disappointment that more and more farmers are posting farm boundaries to keep them out to the uninformed this may be difficult to understand on the face of it farmers and sportsmen have surely enough in common to make them congenial they arc both rca sonably intelligent men of outdoor information pursuing specific skills for a specific purpose there are two important differ encta however the farmer is using his skills on his own ground and h isn t doing it for fun on an average he has an investment of 50 000 or more in a back break ing business which is not limited to union hours and must some how in spile of weather and market hazards be forced to yield a living for him and his family c rider the circumstances he ma be forgiven if he finds it hard to concern himself with the pleasure of a hoodlum thinly disguised n sporting clothes who enters upon his property or across fields cuts wire fences rather than climb or walk around them and leaves be hind him a trail of trampled crops and open gates such hunters are of course a mm or it but after a few pxppcrty outrages a farmer reluctance to allow any hunting on his farm is understandable obviousty if the sport of hunting and fishing which brings the prov ince a direct actual revenue of one hundred and thirty seven million dollars is not to suffer there must be a better farmer hunter rela ship and this is the business of the true sportsman to whom concern for the other fellow s proper rights and convenience is instin live he realizes that he needs the farmer and behaves like a guest and a gentleman on the farmer s property together with other mem bers of his club he can be thorough ly useful to the farmer where a good working relationship has been established for instance groundhogs and jack rabbits eat an estimated fi hundred pounds of hay or wintr wheat each and if left uncontrolled can do untold damage to farm tot every tftfic tmiffircd pt these animals per farm there is a loss of twentv five tons of feed to the farmer annually the drastic re duction ot these animals by an organized group of sportsmen would be a real assistance to the farmer other services which could be rendered to the farmer are one tree planting on unproductive land two predator control hunt ng three constant vigilence against hoodlum hunter and re porting of damage ddne by them to farm property four improvement with the farmer s permission of streams and wildlife habitats fence rows and woodlots for in stance could be cleaned up and brush piled in out of the way places to provide natural cover for game birds a true sportsman who has famil larwed himself with the farmer s operations and interests can be an ally whom the farmer will be glad to welcome this is a present day problem and it is the concern of every sportsman and farmer to ask what oan be done about if scouts to philippines canada will fly a contingent of 91
