To obtain this yield, 206 hectolitres (566 bushels) of white spruce cones were collected and shipped to the Ontario Tree Seed Plant at Angus, Ontario. As well, 111 hectolitres of cones from white pine, red pine, Norway spruce and European larch were collected and shipped to Angus for processing. Tree seed was abundant during the 1984 season, enabling Lindsay district staff to reach or exceed many of their seed collection targets. Private contractors, members of the public and ministry staff all contributed to make 1984 a successful seed collection year, LINDSAY and OTIFBI WORK TOGETHER In co-operation with the Ontario Tree Improvement and Forest Biomass Institute, Lindsay district staff helped with a special collection of white spruce cones. Carried out at the Orono Nursery, White Spruce Seed Production Area, the collection will determine the actual yield of seed cones per individual tree. An area of this specially managed plantation was marked off and each tree was measured for height and diameter, and the information recorded. Every seed cone was picked from the trees and the volumes obtained were recorded separately for each tree. Notes on form, site class, age and other characteristics were recorded for all trees. A one litre sample of cones from each tree will be used to determine seed yield, germination percentages and other information, such as the presence of insect or disease damage. The number of good cones per tree can be figured out very accurately using these sampling techniques. Thé informatioevobtained. from the project wilhbe useful in forecasting futureX seed crops and in determining.how many, hectars of seed production area are required to ensure an adequate and continual production of white spruce seed. LAKE SCUGOG ICE FISHING By Cheryl Lewis Kawartha Lakes Fisheries Biologist Despite poor ice conditions, some anglers have already braved the elements to do some early fishing on Lake Scugog. The winter fishery is open until March 15, 1985 for yellow pickerel and panfish species. The season for muskellunge and bass is now closed. Ice huts may be put on the ice as soon as conditions are favorable, arid must be removed by March 15, 1985. Owners of ice huts are reminded that all huts must be registered with the Lindsay district office, and the registration number must be clearly displayed on the outside of the hut. Each winter, anglers harvest approximately four to five thousand pickerel, averaging 36 cm (14 inches) in length. Fish and Wildlife staff of the Ministry of Natural Resources closely monitor the winter fishery to ensure continued good fishing in future years.

One project entitled, "Potential Resource Estimates of Licenced Properties," had definite local application to the licenced sand and gravel pit operators of the Lindsay area. The purpose of this project is to undertake a potential resource estimate of sand and gravel deposits remaining within properties licenced under the Pits and Quarries Control Act and located in Ops, Mariposa and Eldon Townships, Victoria County. The information will be of interest to each licenced operator and of direct benefit to Lindsay district when addressing new licence applications in discussions with local municipalities. The second project entitled, "Industrial Mineral Products Survey," will involve surveying all 265 licenced pit and quarry operations in Lindsay district. The purpose of the project will be to obtain data to assess the industrial mineral products by licenced operations, the markets, and their transportation links within certain municipal jurisdictions. The findings will assist district staff in providing meaningful input to the municipal planning process. The Regional Municipality of Durham has assisted the ministry with this project, and looks forward to the project findings. The Section 38 Program (named for Section 38 of The Unemployment Insurance Act), has proven to be a real bonus to the ministry and local graduates. Work of this nature would not normally be part of the district annual operating budget. Should anyone wish further information on these projects, inquiries should be directed to the mineral resources staff at the Lindsay district office. DEER and DOGS DON'T MIX By Denis Gagne Conservation Officer Do you know where your dog is? Your pet could well be the one Lindsay district conservation officers are seeking. There have been several recent incidents of dogs chasing deer. As a result, ministry conservation officers are increasing their patrols in the local deer wintering areas. Deer often become weakened during a cold winter, and may be severely stressed if chased by free- roaming dogs. The chase could result in the death of the deer due to exhaustion or physical attack by the dogs. This is a particular problem with fawns and pregnant does. Dog owners are reminded that their pets are not permitted to run at large in a deer-inhabited area during the closed hunting season. Please help deer during the winter months by ensuring that your dog is kept under control and not allowed to run at large. Last year, crowds at the Canada Farm Show in Toronto left little doubt that they appeciated the high-energy Nashville sounds of Jim and Diane Haggerty. They were so popular that they will be featured again this year on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings, January 30, 31 and February 1. Dairy farmers from Hastings county, the Haggertys will perform in the Upper East Annex each evening starting at 5:30 p.m. The couple have turned their love for country music into what is becoming a fulltime career. They are immensely popular in Southern Ontario and are making inroads in the recording industry and the international music scene as well. The Haggertys appeal to all age groups with a good variety of old and new country music blended into the exciting show. 39th Annual Canada Farm Show One of the main attractions of the Canada Farm Show is its no-nonsense emphasis on farm equipment and farm services especially designed to help the farmer become more productive and efficient. Along with the field equipment, another major attraction is expected to be the agri-computer section which drew a lot of interest and huge crowds when it was introduced at the last show. In association with the computer area, free seminars will be offered each morning to help • farmers understand computers computers and to show how useful they can be as a productive farm management tool. Livestock continues to play an important role at the Canada Farm Show. On Tuesday, January 29,1985 the popular Belgian Horse Show will put champion Belgians, Percherons and Clydesdales through their paces and the following day, serious buyers and the curious will crowd the show ring for the heavy horse sale.
