43 i i 7" Not all conservation projects are the building of big reservoirs to hold back the spring floods or the anni- hilation of the insidious lamprey eel. These are musts, however the conser- vation of one little song bird is im- portant in the successful operation of a Rod and Gun Club. Usually there is either a professional or an amateur ornitholgist in -every club. It would be hard to visualize a ru- ral atmosphere completely void of song birds. For the past several years the trees surrounding a house up country have been literally taken over by blackbirds, the raucous "TUCK-TUCK-QSI" sounding from daylight until dark. Often we wish they would pull out and leave us alone, other times we look for their return. We will call him a Brewer's Black- bird, his glossy black coat shimmering in the sunlight with reflections of purple, blue and green. He is a very fraternal chappie and often as many as five to ten families will build right in the cluster of conifers. Around the middle of June the little" fledglings start their short un- "even flights and it is fun to watch. At 'the risk of being dive-bombed by the parent birds we made friends with the little fellows. The -above picture seems to reflect the close attention to last minute rules and regulations on safe flying prior to --take-off, or it may be the inherent characteristic of the species to be a show-off, The next day they were gone and being a migratory bird, they have no doubt started on the long road to the southern winter playgrounds, Texas, Mexico and even to Guatemala, It is more than 3,000 miles from the mouth of the Mackenzie to the delta of the Mississippi, with not even & high ridge of hills to bother the feathered migrants, and with plenty of timber and water thig makes an ideal "flyway". Starting in the region of Kotzebue Sound, Alaska, the route extends east- ward across northern Alaska ana joins another that has its origin at the mouth of the Mackenzie River. The line of flight then trends a little east of south through. the great lakes system of Central Canada, then reaches the headwaters of the Mis- souri and Mississippi Rivers and fol- lows them to the Gulf Coast, I hope wherever my little friends are at the moment, they survive and return next year to tell me all about it with their early morning "TUCK- TUCK-QSI", 4-H Club Members Enjoy Bus Trip On Tuesday, July 7th, some 150 Ontario County 4-H Club members and leaders enjoyed a bus trip to the Peterborough area. This trip was organized and super- vised by Mr, H. L, Fair, Agricultural Representative, Mr, Alvin H, Blades, Assistant Agricultural Representative, and Miss Wilda Gordon, Home Econ- omtsi for Ontario County. The boys and girls on this trip were members of the 4-H Homemaking and | 4-H Agricultural Clubs in Ontario County. The first call was at the Quaker Oats Company plant at Peterborough. The group were given a guided tour though the plant. The tour showed the making and packaging of break- fast cereals, flour and livestock feed. A good view of the City of Peter- borough and the surrounding area was seen from a tour of Armour Hill. Mr. F. C. Patterson, Agricultural Repre- sentative, Peterborough, gave on in- teresting talk on the district and show- ed the group many points of interest as seen from the lookout, ~ MASSEY-HARRIS Self Propelled Used Combines CL 8 foot Cut, No. 26, complete i ¢ one 10 foot Cut Combine, No. 26, complete i | 4 One 10 foot Cut Combine, No. 80, complete DON'T OVER LOOK SEEING THESE COMBINES 4 Also New Machinery on Display Massey-Ferguson Dealer LITTLE BRITAIN PHONE 37 Decorating Sear, AT 2-0961 CHAS A.

Pit " After lunch the group split with the girls visiting Silverwoods Dairy, Brin- ton Carpet Company and "DeLaval plants, » At Silverwoods the girls were shown the manufacturing of Ice Cream and the homogenizing and pasteuring of milk, This was a very interesting and informative tour. The complete process of carpet manufacturing, such as dying the wool and other types of yarn, the weaving, triming and packaging was seen at the Brinton Carpet Company factory. They were shown the different types of carpet produced and the many pat- tern designs used to give the carpet colour and variety, This tou was very informative and exceptionally inter- esting for the girls who no doubt will be using carpets in their own homes in the future. The boys visited the Canfda Pack- ers plant in the afternoon and were shown the cold storage facilities, the slaughter of pigs, the trimming and the cleaning of the carcasses, The group of boys also visited the Peterborough Examiner shop and were shown the printing process and all the work done in turning out a daily paper, : The final tour of the afternoon was the DeLaval Company plant where both the boys and girls were shown through the factory. At this plant there were many things produced such as milking machines, cream separa- tors, bulk milk coolers, bulk milk haulage tanks, pasteurising machinery and both water and vacuum pumps. The tour was very interesting and informative and much enjoyed by the 4-H boys and girls and their leaders, ---- National Farm Safety Week JULY 19th to 25th TRACTORS--For safe operation-- carry no children as passengers-- hitch only to the drawbar -- avoid working on steep hills, near cut banks, close 'to sharp shouldered roads use safe speeds on highways -- legal lights at night, FIRE -- Childen suffer most from and kerosene safely -- always label heating of flues and chimneys.
