MOT TOO MAMNY OF us have the opportunity of opening up ince, like others in Canada, bas more explorers than country, or so it would seem. Many times we have fought our way into sreas supposedly virgin, only to find someone else had built their fire there before us. Bill Chellew, supervisor of game overseers in the Sudbury district had told us many time of what he called Big Crow lake and river. He had never fished it either, but had tramped Ms frozen bamks during winter petrol and had flown over it Beveral times in a depertment aireraft. 'Dohhb“hllogenâ€"l ewal area of ShooFly strengâ€" should hold trout, although it going to be out of luck if we fackle ‘mes bad any inclination wanted was some surface fish 1 made. At the time I was not too sure that I wasn‘t being a ing the tough trip abead of us. We met Bill on the train after it pulled out of Capreol.

Bil got the fire going and the frying pan popping. We all hear a lot and dream cook on shore, fresh and still kicking after being removed from the water, but how often do we do it. That trout made up into four big golden brown fillets and we sat on a down tree and ate it with our fingers.

They simply don‘t meet the demands of modern farming . . . high productivity and low production costs. The profit potential of your ferm can only be fully realized through * utilizing modern methods and the latest farm machinery. Today‘s farm machinery measures up to the task of doing more work faster and more efficiently. Farm labour, a major cost in the operation of any farm, is kept to a bare minimum while the amount of work done per day is greatly increased. Critical farm operations get done at exactly the right time without depending on the _ availability of high priced farm labour. You can‘t farm profitably today Masseyâ€"Ferguson machines and implements completely fill the requirements of profitable farmingâ€"more work with less manpower at lower cost.

I won‘t take you through the rest of it Sufficient it is that SEVEN beaver dams, three lakes and a million logs later, we came out of the narrowing river on to Big Crow lake. You hear of people finding a lake for the first time and always their initial glimpse takes their breath away. I couldn‘t feel that way about Big Crow. I had lost my breath back on about the fifth beaver We hadn‘t eaten since early morning, so we went ashore to brush out a spot for a camp. It was well we did so while we had lots of daylight left for trees grew as thick as the @uills on a porcupines back. Camp finished, we cleared off a big space of ground for our fire and got the tea pail boiling. We were all squatting on our beels eating our bacon and dered out right in front of us. I‘ve seen a lot of black bear in my time but nothing like this one. He was only spitting distance from us, but stood and gave us the onee over for at least five minutes. 1 wouldâ€" n‘t guess at his weight, but he had a head like a good sized pumpkin and a body to match. I was impressed, Bill said it was the biggest black he had ever seen and as it was the first wild bear the young lad had ever been close to, he pro bably thought it the works !hrzut. I thought of how nice it would be to see him thro ugh the scope of my rifie and then changed my mind when I lthought of slugging his pelt over those beaver dams. "How many boeaver darms to Evening was now pulling its cloak around our camp and we all watched the lake to see if any trout would start rising.
