OUTDOOR ADVENTURES The basic principle of sound farming cconomy is getting the maximum amount of work done at the lowest possible cost. The only way this can be accomplished is with modern farm machinery. Modern farm machinery is designed to do more work in less time at lower cost. More horsepower per man allows you to reap full benefits from today‘s more productive farming methods by keeping labour costs in line. It also assures you of a reliable work force you can swing into action at a moment‘s notice. Critical farm operations get done without delavy and 107 _KING ST. w.

Before you form an opinion, try shooting them. They are fast and they fly fairly straight as do most game birds.

While some of these are wild birds. no doubt much of the apparent numbers are birds planted by well meaning county councils and by the Department of Most counties have extendâ€" ed shooting seasons for the long tailed birds this year, which as it should be. We doubt very much if the seaâ€" son was open all year, if there would be any great difference in the number of birds killed, for the pheasant is one critter wearing feathers that really knows how to take care of himâ€" self. The more you hunt him, the smarter he gets. He deveâ€" lops legs and brains that wili either take him out of trouble completely or make it so tough for you to get a decent shot at him, you will give up in favour of easier game. There is only one thing working against him. The fourâ€" legged poacher in the form of the red fox has pretty well disappeared, but the twoâ€"legs:â€" ed poacher in the form of soâ€" called man is still very active.

Personally I wouldn‘t give two cents for the biggest or best bass in the frying pan. But on the end of a light fourâ€" ounce fly rod they can provide a lot of fun for the most blase‘. DURING THE PAST FEW YEARS I have done mighty little fishing or hunting withâ€" out having a camera man taggâ€" We were fishing up above Southampton and if our count is right, we caught eighteen of the finny fighters One of about two pounds became so enthused with his aerial acroâ€" batics, he finally flipped over the far side of a branch takâ€" ing fly and leader with him. He looked pretty silly for a couple of minutes fighting nothing but the spring of the branch. Then he got a better purchase on the water and the next thing I knew, he and the fly had deprated. Bet he looks twice at streamer flies for at least a little while. We did nail a couple that crowded the threeâ€"pound mark, but we returned them without any regret. Our parting advise was that they grow larger beâ€" fore taking again. Guess it jJust depends when the next fly fisherman comes along. 96 KING ST. S.

Besides, about the time you or a good rise, they want you to do some fillâ€"in and you find you are casting where there are no fish or hunting in cover that looks pretty, but contains no game. There is another angle. Prior to working on TV, I had alâ€" ways carried a camera of my own. Then with a camera man toting about a ton of equipâ€" ment, I left my camera at home as so much uneeded baggage.* Unfortunately, there were few still pictures taken and a man couldn‘t sit of an evening and enjoy things withâ€" out setting up a screen and a projector, not always a job to be appreciated when you are tired. This year I bought a new 35 mm complete with wide angle and telephoto lens. I have had more fun with this camera so far than even some of my fishing equipment and have the pictures to prove it. If you haven‘t tried one of the new and better cameras, you are missing one heck of a lot of fun. If you try it and work as hard at getting good pictures as you do at getting fiss, you‘ll soon find what 1 am talking about.
