LANDS AIMD SURVEYS BRANCH
OBJECTIVES
1. To maintain a rational basis for Crown land retention, and disposal to maximize the social and economic bene- fits of land use, including the natural environment for recreation.
2. To develop, implement and maintain Land Use Plans which reflect the capacity of the land, the needs of people and economic realities in order to meet the above objec- tives and to aid in the establishment of land acquisition needs and priorities.
3. To conduct Crown surveys, maintain survey records and provide mapping services.
4. To undertake engineering consultation, studies and plan- ning for fish and wildlife projects.
ORGANIZATION
Lands and Surveys Branch is divided into four sections with duties and responsibilities as follows. LANDS
Administration of public lands and their disposition by sale, patent, vesting order, quit claim deed, lease, licence of occupation, or land use permit; release of reservations in patents, assignments and cancellations; reservation of lands for public and government uses; and maintenance of wilder- ness areas.
LAND ACQUISITION AND PLANNING Recommendations and applications for purchase of private lands for public uses; development and co-ordination of land use plans in all districts for the management of re- newable, natural resources; Recreational Land Inventory Sector of Canada Land Inventory; co-ordination of depart- mental A.R.D.A. projects; and liaison with Department of Agriculture and Food on private lands and other Depart- ments on the socio-economic implications of land use objectives. SURVEYS
Examination, recording and custody of original plans and field notes of restoration of original Crown survey points, retracement and Municipal surveys, and surveys of Crown lands for disposition; map compilation; authorization of geographical names; distribution of maps, publications and copies of survey records.
ENGINEERING
Approval of dams; licences of occupation for dams; floodinj and diversions; water resource management; issuance an( servicing of Water Power Lease Agreements; engineerini consultations; feasibility studies, inspections, reports, plan ning for fish culture stations, wetland developments, fish ways and other fish and wildlife projects; access roads.
LANDS SECTION
The uses for public lands are becoming more diversifiec and more dependent on and related to other areas of publi( administration. This has led to increased liaison and co operation with people concerned with public health, wate pollution, roads and land use planning in other Department: of Government
More agricultural land is going out of production annually This trend is illustrated by the very minor demand now fo public land for farming. Only eight- applications for suet land received favourable consideration during the year. Those areas of the Province which are without municipa organization and where there is a high demand for land fo residential or other private uses, may be designated as re stricted areas under the terms of Section 16 of the Publi( Lands Act. This Section gives to the Minister the authority to control buildings and other improvements on the land It has proved to be an effective control in preventing th( haphazard development of new communities. In collabora tion with the Department of Municipal Affairs, two nev restricted areas were established during the year and rea progress was made toward developing several new town sites. It is anticipated that there will be a further expansior in restricted areas next year and there will be considerable increase in the number of improvement authorizations. For reasons of sanitation and health it is accepted that < residential lot without sewer and water services should havt a minimum area of not less than 15,000 square feet. Interest in summer cottage lots continued to increase through the year, and resulted in a pronounced increase ir the number of sales. Because of comparative scarcity anc high demand, the few lots which became available withii 150 miles of Toronto were sold by public auction. Public land suitable for summer cottage development will becomt increasingly scarce in southern Ontario. The lake develop-, ment plan program was expanded during the year. WorW done by the Ontario Land Inventory under the Federal-i Provincial A.R.D.A. Agreement, has facilitated this progranfij Increased interest was shown in commercial summer resorlj properties. There was a steady demand for land for gollj courses and ski locations and an increased demand fromi service companies for land for pipelines, power and tele-i phone lines, radio and television communications. |
There has been an increasing interest in regard to wate^l lot occupations and ownership of beach lands, particularly in the older, settled parts of Ontario.
LAND ACQUISITION AND PLANNING SECTION i
Subsequent to the announcement of the Land Acquisition! program in 1962, this Department has acquired 93,356 acreS| of land for water access points, district improvements,
p
general recreation (day use), parks, timber management, wilderness areas, nature reserves and wildlife management
, purposes.
i This year, Treasury Board approved 53 proposals covering
' the acquisition of 71,887.95 acres, and an additional 46
. proposals were approved for the acquisition of 43,329 acres by the Ontario Parks Integration Board. The number of acres acquired this fiscal year amounted to 18,845.71, while almost 66,000 acres in total were considered and subsequently rejected.
A total of 66 leases located in Rondeau and Algonquin Parks and Wasaga Beach comprising over 25 acres were pur- chased. Some 715 acres of land were donated to the Crown for use as park and public recreation areas. Since the institution of the Federal-Provincial A.R.D.A. Cost- Sharing Program in 1964-65, the Province has acquired 25,522.15 acres of land under the agreement. This fiscal year 15,694.05 acres of land were acquired in five projects under the A.R.D.A. Agreement for timber and wildlife management purposes. Also pending approval, are proposals pertaining to 10 parks, seven wildlife management areas, and six
' timber management areas.
I At March 31, 1967, some 40 per cent of the lake shore areas
i and all of the inventory for the portion of Ontario below the 43rd parallel has been completed under the Recreation Land
I Inventory sector of the Canada Land Inventory. This capa- bility inventory will be of great value in determining which
! Crown lands should be reserved for public use, and in assessing areas of private land which should be purchased
I for public use.
SURVEYS SECTION CARTOGRAPHY
Work of the Cartographic Subsection is divided into two areas of endeavour: compilation and production of new and revised editions of maps; and research, investigation and application of geographic names to geographical features in Ontario.
In pursuit of the objective to produce a total of 21 maps in a provincial topographic series on a scale 1 inch = 2 miles to cover areas in Northern Ontario, map sheets designated Hornepayne, Calstock, Taradale, Obakamiga Lake, Timmins and Gogama were printed. Revised editions of one eight- mile, one four-mile and three miscellaneous maps were produced, together with the last in a series of four surficial geology maps.
Editing of nomenclature on maps produced by federal and provincial mapping agencies was continued, and more than 600 new geographical names were recommended to the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names I for approval, in addition to names either altered or ' rescinded as a result of toponymy research by field officers of the Geographical Branch, Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, Ottawa. LEGAL SURVEYS
Legal Surveys Subsection carries out drafting and plan examination, and prepares instructions for surveys carried out by departmental surveyors, as well as for all surveys carried out by private surveyors to meet the needs of the retracement, restoration, subdivision and inspection programs.
Drafting of area plans, special maps and charts, legal survey plans resulting from departmental field survey activities, graphic illustrations, and redrafting of township plans on a scale 1 inch = 20 chains continued. In addition, the loca- . tion and extent of all new alienations of Crown land con- i tinued to be plotted on township or area plans in order to maintain a graphic illustration of the status of land through- out the Province.
All plans of survey or plans compiled from available in- formation leading to any form of alienation of Crown land were examined for compliance with statutes and depart- mental policy. These plans included surveyed individual summer resort, commercial or industrial locations, water lots and Crown subdivisions. In addition, returns from surveys carried out under instruction such as retracement, restoration and municipal surveys, which did not lead to alienation, were examined for compliance with statutes and instructions.
Field surveys for administrative purposes were carried out by field survey crews, with headquarters in Toronto, operat- ing principally in the northern part of southern Ontario. These crews were engaged in determination of encroach- ment on Crown land and extent of ambiguous Crown grants, retracement, inspection and park surveys, together with other miscellaneous surveys. SURVEY RECORDS AND MAP DISTRIBUTION Custody of survey records and reproduction for sale and distribution and sale of maps and publications produced by the Department, as well as sale of maps produced by the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, are main responsibilities discharged by the subsection. Distribution of the Provincial Topographic Map Series more than doubled over the previous year, and an increase occurred in the distribution of map sheets in the National Topographic Map Series mainly due to an issue of new and revised sheets in the 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 scale series. It has been noted a decrease in distribution of the territorial map series takes place as the popularity of the smaller topographic map series increases, and as new or updated sheets become available.
The quantity of sensitized reproduction material consumed for copying various topographic map and township tracings, Georgian Bay Island map sheets, summer cottage lot sub- divisions and other miscellaneous plans, as well as sur- veyors' field notes, by the contact dry process and by photo- graphic reproduction methods remained approximately the same as in the previous year.
The number of public inquiries requiring a search of original plans and field notes of surveys of Crown lands increased substantially during the year, as people sought historical information for Centennial projects.
ENGINEERING SECTION
The Engineering Section continues to provide management of water resources through approval of dams under The Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act, determination of the terms and conditions, and preoaration of water power lease agreements under The Water Power Regulation Act, admini- stration of licences of occupation for dams constructed principally for log driving purposes, and administration of the reconstruction of old dams. In addition, special engin- eering consultation services were provided in hatchery design and construction, and fisheries and waterfowl man- agement projects. ACCESS ROADS
Some 1,850 miles of forest access roads were maintained during the fiscal year, which is an increase of 331 miles over the previous year, and represents an increase of 100 per cent over the total number of miles of road maintained during the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1964. The criterion for eligibility for maintenance has not been broadened to include roads other than those used by the Department of pursuit of its programs, but has increased steadily as the Department's capital road construction program has expanded, and reflects to a degree the new policy to maintain some abandoned logging roads where it is in the interest of the Department to do so.
PARKS BFRAIMCH
OBJECTIVES
1. To provide outdoor space in which the people of Ontario may enjoy the recreational pursuits usually associated with the natural environment.
2. To establish Provincial Parks to provide outdoor space where it is needed and to preserve important or unusual features of natural or historical significance.
3. To reserve areas for future use to meet anticipated demands.
4. To preserve the natural environment of parks by restrict- ing practices which would alter the environment, and by providing only the facilities necessary for the well-being of park visitors and the enjoyment of outdoor activities.
5. To promote in park visitors an appreciation of park features and the inspirational enjoyment of nature.
ORGANIZATION
Parks Branch is divided into three sections and their subordinate units with duties and responsibilities as follows.
RECREATIONAL PLANNING !
Responsible for long range planning for parks and related public recreational areas and activities, including analysis and projection of demand, determination of land require- ments, preparation of provincial and regional recreation plans and recreation research to provide essential planning information.
PARK PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT Production of detailed Provincial Park master plans and control of all park development according to an approved design; planning and control of all park water supplies and sanitary installations; design and construction control of all park buildings and structures. PARK MANAGEMENT
Establishment and control of standards of park operations: supervision of operating expenditures and revenues; pre- paration of operation concession agreements; compilation of park use data.
Interpretive: Establishment, operation and maintenance of interpretive programs — museums, exhibit centres, illus- trated talks, conducted trips, interpretive trails and publications. PARK USAGE
During the past fiscal year, 92 Provincial Parks were oper- ated, including three new parks — Arrowhead, Ferris and North Beach. Approximately 3% million acres of Provincial Park land was available for the enjoyment of the public. A further 500,000 acres is designated as reserve for future development as Provincial Parks.
The 1966 season was the most successful operating season in the history of Provincial Parks in Ontario. Visitations in- creased over the previous year by 10 per cent to an all-time high of 9,791.671. Camper use increased by seven per cent, providing some 2,653,035 camper days. A total of 994,787 campers were recorded by permit in 1966. Although park fees remained unchanged, revenue increased some $215,000 to a total of $2,100,000 in 1%6.

PARK DEVELOPMENT
Development appropriations were increased to $2,500,000, resulting in an additional 1,000 campsites, 23 comfort stations, 18 trailer dumping stations, eight major water and sewerage systems, and expanded parking area and beach development. This expansion took place in existing Pro- vincial Parks and as part of initial development of four parks to be opened in the 1967-1968 fiscal year period.
HUNTING IN PARKS
Public hunting was continued in a number of Provincial Parks in southern Ontario — an area where such grounds are limited and demand is high. Waterfowl hunting under licence was permitted in Presqu'ile, Darlington, Holiday Beach, Long Point and Rondeau. Put and take pheasant hunting was very popular at Presqu'ile, Darlington and Sibbald Point parks this year. Hunting is not permitted in parks except those covered by regulations under The Game and Fish Act.

MECHANICAL SECTION
Development, improvement and testing of equipment and instruments to meet special needs of Department.
FISHERIES SECTION
The Department's fisheries research program discovers new facts and techniques necessary to the scientific manage- ment of the complex sport and commercial fishery of Ontario.
Great Lakes Programs
LAKE ONTARIO
In 1965, studies designed to understand factors limiting the survival of juvenile whitefish were initiated in the laboratory. The lake trout project, in co-operation with New York State, has been an attempt to re-establish a self-reproducing population of this species in the lake. A walleye project has continued since 1956 to determine levels of exploitation by anglers and by the commercial fishery in the Bay of Quinte. Considerable information on growth, food, mortality and movements has been accumu- lated.
A project initiated in 1958 and designed to learn something of the life history and ecology of the American eel during that part of its life spent in Lake Ontario has continued. This is of concern because of the possible effect of the St. Lawrence Seaway installations.
An attempt is being made to establish kokanee — a land- locked variety of sockeye salmon — as a new species in Lake Ontario for both commercial and recreational fishery. In each of the past three years plantings of eyed eggs and swim-up fry were made. As kokanee are plankton feeders, it is hoped that they will find the enriched open waters of Lake Ontario to their liking.
A start was made in 1966 to describe the life history, ecology, movements and abundance of white perch, which has quickly become a dominant species in the Bay of Quinte. In 1966, a staff scientist investigated in Japan the potential of the Japanese salmons for introduction into Ontario. In addition to the merits common to the whole genus — high value and ease of management — two species are fresh water loving and warm water tolerant, and therefore may be worthy of trials here. LAKE ERIE
Smelt and yellow perch have become the principal species of importance to commercial fishermen in Lake Erie. Most of the research was on reproduction, distribution and food of these two species.
Studies on smelt during 1966 concentrated on the problem of describing the distribution of young-of-the-year to supple- ment the virtually completed work on distribution of year- lings and adults. Reproduction was poor, probably because of a violent storm soon after peak spawning. A general survey of smelt abundance by area was conducted through- out the lake during July and August, making use of informa- tion on vertical distribution that has emerged from past studies.
The effect of dominant year classes in yellow perch was the subject of intensive study.
LAKE HURON
The present emphasis of research in Lake Huron is on whitefish, and the principal concern is the wide variation in the year class success which causes fluctuations of abund- ance from year to year. There are several discreet popula- tions in different parts of the lake which further complicate the problem. Information is being collected on age, size etc., of whitefish caught by various types of gear. One of the most important results will be the hoped-for ability to fore- cast catches in subsequent years.
In 1%6, commercial fishermen at Providence Bay reported taking 16 lake trout x brook trout (splake) which were identi- fied as being from the 1963 Providence Bay planting. This catch, added to the 1964 catch of 2,500 fish and the 1965 catch of 839, gives a total of 3,355 of the 1963 planting of 3,500 fish. In June 1966, 50,000 splake yearlings were planted in Burnt Island Bay, Lake Huron. In South Bay in 1966, 4,000 splake were planted.
The greatly increased planting program of splake in Lake Huron has followed the gradual improvements in successive generations of hybrids derived from the research program. Additional numbers of year classes are in culture and will come through the selection procedures in subsequent years. In co-operation with U.S. agencies for the rehabilitation of the Lake Huron fishery (splake replacement of lake trout), the final stages are being reached in the testing program. Real success is largely dependent on the ability of the hybrids to reproduce naturally.
Game Fish Program
The Harkness Laboratory was operated again in 1966 in accordance with the terms of the agreement between the Department of Lands and Forests and the University of Toronto. The facilities were used by staff and graduates of the University of Toronto and the Ontario Research Foundation.
In addition to the continued analysis of long-accumulated creel census data, projects included experimental plantings, population dynamics, lake trout biology, and plankton- feeding versus fish-feeding lake trout. Also, a scientist made a trip to a number of European countries to investigate the potential of certain of their fish for introduction to Ontario waters, particularly the Great Lakes, where conditions due to water enrichment have changed markedly. Four species would appear to have real potential. Studies of natural populations of brook trout were pursued in 1966 as part of a background against which experimental results are to be compared. Projects in Algonquin Park lakes included stocking rate studies using hatchery-reared trout; plankton and bottom fauna studies; population fluctuations throughout the year; fish toxicants to remove undesirable competing species; spawning facilities and planting techniques.
The smallmouth bass project was activated- in 1966 in Lake- of-the-Mountain. This is a study of factors, especially sum- mer water temperatures, which influence the production of eggs, fry and fingerlings up to the dispersal stage. These include studies of tagging, first year growth, creel census data, evaluation of hatchery plantings and sub-lethal effects of pollutants. Essential laboratory work was conducted at the nearby Glenora station.
Ecological studies of walleyes in 1966 were pursued at Baptiste Lake. Emphasis was placed on the factor of light intensity, which seems to play a major part in determining the location and activity of walleyes. They were generally found to be shielded from direct sunlight.
Other Research Programs
The limnology unit continued to co-ordinate meteorological and hydrographic data collected from the several fisheries research units with special relation to standardization, and with particular reference to the Great Lakes — such as of the thermal regime and zooplankton of South Bay — and hydrography and phytoplankton of the Bay of Quinte. The selective breeding program on splake (referred to previously under Lake Huron) continued to make advances in 1966, using both laboratory and field studies of more advanced hybrid generations.
During 1966, the inventory unit continued to assess the productivity of Ontario lakes, concentrating on factors of total dissolved solids, alkalinity and turbidity. A scientist continued to examine parasites collected by field staff, with the object of eventually determining their effect on abundance of important fish species.
FORESTRY SECTION
The following is a brief summary of forestry research con- ducted from Maple headquarters and five permanent research establishments throughout the Province. In addi- tion to this, the Research Branch is working co-operatively with the Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto; the Ontario Research Foundation; Canada Department of Forestry; and the wood-using industries of the Province.
Regional Silvicultural Research
It is to be understood that while the following summary is dealt with under the headings of the several regions of the Province, in actuality the researchers expand their programs beyond the boundaries of the regions. NORTHWESTERN ONTARIO
In 1966, the field program was dominated by re-examination work on a large number of long-term regeneration and stand development plots according to their five-year re-measure- ment schedule. Another important development was the establishment of a program of research for black spruce — a species which had not received sufficient research atten- tion in the past.
One of the re-examination programs continued in 1966 was concerned with white spruce - balsam fir stands. This study relates to the long-term effects of diameter limit selective cutting, mechanical scarification, and conventional versus mechanical clearcutting. Of especial note is that abundant white spruce regeneration follows scarification in mixed- wood stands, but it was found necessary in 1966 to release this desired crop from re-invading dense underbrush by use of selected toxicants.
Another study continued to determine the effects of mechanical clearcutting of all species in jack pine cover types embracing jack pine, trembling aspen and black spruce to favour jack pine.
A poplar project was continued to determine the relation- ship between aspen reproduction of high quality and its age, site type and density following mechanical cutting operations. CENTRAL ONTARIO
Since the start of work in this region in 1959, concentration has been on laboratory and field studies of problems of tree nutrition, particularly in spruce species, and studies of the productivity, ecology and racial variation of red spruce. The special attention being given to red spruce is because this species has characteristics which make it very useful in improving the productivity of derelict tolerant hardwood and mixedwood stands. The study is designed to measure growth and productivity of red spruce in poor and mixed stands on all physiographic sites across its range in Ontario.
Red spruce has been studied from a number of different points of view over the past several years. These may be most easily grouped under three general headings: Productivity — ecology involving a number of fundamental aspects, including growth and nutrition. Taxonomical and genetical relationships within and between other species, including provenance studies, etc. Practical applications for management in the near future, including underplanting studies and assistance in seed production areas, etc.
One more year should complete the general field work. This will be followed by a sampling in our rather extensive spruce provenance plantations. SOUTH-CENTRAL ONTARIO
The forester in charge of research work in the region was occupied almost exclusively in furthering the large-scale planting operations of tubed seedlings by the Timber Branch. In the late spring and summer of 1966, a number of tubed seedling production sites in the Districts were visited in an effort to overcome problems that had arisen in germinating seed and in growing seedlings. The operational manual of instructions was revised.
Silvics, Silviculture and Management of Sugar Maple and associated species. A program was continued on the study of the ecology of this forest association, and to apply the knowledge gained in developing appropriate silvicultural and management procedures for optimum production of high quality hardwood timber.
One project may be selected for mention here: research into the problems of production of high quality sugar maple. During 1966-67, additional information was gathered on tree quality and diameter distribution in a number of different stands as a basis for developing controlled methods of improvement cutting. A broad program of cutting is planned to cover the variations which occur in quality, stocking and species composition in various stands. Part of the work initiated in this project has followed an evolutionary shift toward a more fundamental framework and has been relocated at Maple headquarters. Objectives of this study involve the dynamics of mineral stains, decay and tree form defects in sugar maple.
SOUTHWESTERN ONTARIO
Research in this region aims to suggest good forest man- agement practices on stands most of which are in private ownership and have become derelict. Particular attention was given in 1966 to the propagation and cultural treatment of silver maple and eastern Cottonwood, largely to replace the heavy mortality in elm from the Dutch elm disease. Studies were continued in 1966 of these two species, which are about the only commercial trees capable of growing in the swamps of southwestern Ontario. These included growth, thinning and planting studies, as well as the mass produc- tion of phenotypes vegetatively by budding, layering and cuttings.
Work continued on the establishment of such species as red oak, basswood, hybrid poplar, large-toothed aspen and white and red pine.
Research was also furthered in the use of herbicides, silvi- cides and soil sterilants, as well as in maple sap and syrup productivity.
SOUTHEASTERN ONTARIO
Research in this region has been primarily concerned with the ecology of the tolerant hardwood association, especially the treatment of cutover stands to improve quality. The principal projects are prescribed burning and the silvics of basswood.
The objective of the prescribed burning project is to deter- mine the effects of fire in hardwood stands to improve regeneration. Studies have been undertaken in four areas which have met with varying degrees of success. While re- examination of plots on several of these areas will be con- tinued, it has been suggested that the use of prescribed fire in hardwoods should be studied on an operational scale where realistic appraisal of its potential can be made. The objective of the basswood project is to determine the possibility of increasing the proportion of this high quality, fast-growing species in hardwood associations, particularly with maple. Studies were continued on fruit and seed relat- ing to successful germination; natural regeneration after various treatments; results of planting nursery stock; and the management in general of hardwood stands with bass- wood admixture.
A Research Information Paper was published in 1966 on one aspect of the planting on shallow lands in the Kempt- ville district.
Maple Headquarters Research
REFORESTATION
Nursery and Planting: The objective of this program is the procurement of information through research for the scientific advancement of the reforestation program of the Department. The work was initiated in 1953 with the chief areas of attention being nursery operations, handling of shipping stock, planting methods, frost damage to planta- tions, and fertilization. Work was continued on the following projects in the year 1966-67. (The figures in brackets indi- cate the years in which the projects were started.) Culling and grading of nursery stock (1953); depths and methods of planting (1948); seedlings vs transplants (1957); moisture retaining materials (1955); nursery stock field stor- age (1956); wrapping materials (1956); methods of planting for underplanting (1955); Dunemann planting stock (1955); root pruning of nursery stock (1957); nutrient correlations (1%4); adjustment of soil acidity (1959); frost studies (1962); ecotypical variation in black spruce (1959); planting through- out the growth season (1951); studies of planting check (I960); hormone studies (1962); drought studies (1%5); root coating (1966); seedbed densities (1966); and forest fertiliza- tion (1958).
TREE BREEDING
The aim of forest tree breeding is to supply seed and plant materials that, from a genetic standpoint, are best suited for the purposes of artificial forest regeneration. These studies were initiated in 1946 and are comprised principally of white pine and poplar projects.
The main objectives in white pine breeding are resistance to blister rust and weevil, and satisfactory growth form and growth rate. The program has been continued since 1946. Intensive acquisition of breeding materials, mainly exotics, has been in progress throughout. Present emphasis on interspecific hybridization is producing rust-resistant materials of direct use-value.
The poplar breeding program, initiated in 1947, aims to produce aspen-like hybrids, suitable for growing in southern Ontario, having good growth rate and growth form, good wood and ease of vegetative propagation. At present, the main objective is the production of new hybrids with good rooting ability from stem cuttings.
The principal aim of the breeding program in hard pines was primarily, at the time of its initiation in 1952, to find resist- ance to the pine shoot moth. Recently, the objective has changed toward production of a red pine-like tree, superior in growth rate, branching habit, resistance to shoot moth, and adaptability to red pine sites.
A spruce breeding program was started in 1964 to determine the genetic variability of the native spruce species, the genetic relationships of native and exotic species and the value of certain spruce hybrids. Controlled pollinations with black spruce, white spruce and several exotic species were continued in 1966.
WHITE PINE BLISTER RUST SURVEY The blister rust work, which has been continued by the Research Branch since 1942, is designed to obtain quanti- tative data on the occurrence of rust and rust damage at selected stations. Such data may be used to characterize epidemic conditions and as an aid to prognosis. In 1966, the second and fifth periodic examinations were made in the North Bay and Pembroke Districts respectively. WOOD QUALITY
The purpose of the studies of wood quality is to define the specific physical and chemical wood characteristics which contribute to superior quality in end- use products, and to relate these characteristics to heritable and environmental factors. A wood quality unit is established in the Research Branch, and the Ontario Research Foundation receives an annual grant from the Department for making pulping and other tests on wood samples provided them. To date, work has concentrated on black spruce. The Ontario Research Foundation did work in 1966 in three areas: wood structure related to paper quality, black spruce wood quality in mature stands, and effects of extractives on wood quality. Complementary work by the Research Branch included determination of mean specific gravity, determina- tion of compression wood percentage, and comparisons of tree hole density and core samples. SITE
The objective of the site research program is to determine the productivity of land. Consequently, work has been directed toward obtaining knowledge pertaining to the relationships between soils, climates, and crops, and to organize this information into a classification system adapt- able to various types of management, with the forest being the major crop considered. Much of the effort of the site research unit in 1967 was concerned with the ARDA pro- gram, especially in map production, which will be reported elsewhere. The general sub-divisions of the work as a whole come under the headings of regional, factorial and land productivity research.
Regional site research was continued in 1966-67 comprising the recognition, classification, mapping and description of physiographic sites, as well as the determination of natural vegetation succession, including the initial evaluation of the potential productivity of the more important sites. Two projects which were completed in 1965 may be selected for reference: field and laboratory investigations of the dis- tribution of the parent soil materials on the Canadian Shield south of the Ottawa River; mapping the land units of the Swastika District to provide District staff with an ecological framework for their land use plans.
In 1966, further progress was made in factorial site research which was developed from the need in regional site researci for a better understanding of soil and climatic factors which influence forest growth.
Field and laboratory nutrient studies have dealt with such subjects as the release from minerals of calcium and dilute sulphuric acid, especially relating to uptake by jack pine from three types of sand; availability of nitrogen and phos- phorous through processes in the forest humus rather than by weathering of mineral materials; and studies in soil genesis dealing with the influence of the forest on the soil. The research program dealing with water as a site factor is continuing and includes the assessment of the effects of moisture regimes on forest growth within specific climatic regions. Several programs which received particular atten- tion in 1966 may be mentioned: comparison of soil moisture and current radial growth with and without irrigation: the influence of various moisture supplies and growth of red pine, white spruce and larch seedlings. Most of the timber productivity part of the research in 1966 was conducted in co-operation with other agencies and related to red pine plantations and hard maple woodlots. FOREST MENSURATION
Growth and yield studies in 1966 included measurements on permanent sample plots, in red pine plantations and in natural stands of red and white pine; construction of im- proved tree volume tables, and improved methods of timber estimating. Statistical and advisory services were rendered to research foresters in tree breeding, reforestation and silviculture, with particular reference to height and diameter growth. Consultants in statistics and computer programming assisted in all of the foregoing work. MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS
A specialist in statistical analysis and computer program- ming provided services which included consultations on, and participation in, planning, designing, analyzing and interpreting the results obtained from experiments, as well as from collections of data by numerous investigators. Most of these services were rendered to the several sections of the Research Branch, but some were made use of by other Branches of the Department and co-operating agencies. In addition to providing sampling systems and computer pro- gramming, the services included much data processing.
FOREST ECONOMICS
A research staff forestry economist advised and assisted on several forestry projects including the economics relat- ing to plantation forests of red and white pine; the prepara- tion of yield tables for plantation-grown red pine and white spruce; and the design of a system for orderly maintenance for newly established sample plots for growth and yield studies. In addition, the economist participated in a feasi- bility study which was related to the establishment of pulp and paper manufacture in the Red Lake area. FOREST PROTECTION
Studies were initiated in the evaluation and development of fire prevention methods, fire control systems, and reduction of hazards; testing and development of insect and disease control methods.
Dr. W. R. Haddow retired from service after 44 years with the Department — 25 years in Research.
WILDLIFE SECTION
Wildlife research has been directed toward the futhering of our knowledge of economically important birds and mam- mals, and to suggest means by which these could be of greater value to the trapper, hunter, naturalist, and the general public. Research projects have been developed around most of the major species of wildlife which provide sustenance or sport in Ontario.
Close co-operation is maintained between Research per- sonnel and the staff of the Fish and Wildlife Branch. Wild- life research personnel have also benefited greatly by their close working relationships with scientists in other govern- ment departments, universities, and research organizations. Within the Wildlife Research Section there are units con- cerned with furbearing animals, wildlife diseases and para- sites, upland game and waterfowl, big game, and predators. While the Southern Research Station serves as a base headquarters, most of the work is done in the field — across the Province and north from the Great Lakes to Hudson Bay. A Wildlife Research Station, located in Algonquin Park, serves as a centre for some field studies. FURBEARERS
The management of populations of furbearing animals is probably more complex than for other species of wildlife. Essentially, there are two groups of factors influencing the production of fur: socio-economic and biological. To date, furbearer research has been chiefly concerned with biologi- cal factors affecting fur production.
Research is continuing on the dynamics of beaver popula- tions and the influence of various factors including trapoing pressure. The program in the Patricia Central and West portions of northern Ontario, initiated in 1957, is to deter- mine the factors responsible for wide fluctuations in northern beaver populations, and to recommend manage- ment practices which would increase numbers of beaver. Analysis of field data collected on otter showed that their movements were confined to smaller areas than was pre- viously supposed. Also, their food consists entirely of aquatic organisms with game fish comprising a very small part of these.
Other ecological and population studies were continued on marten and mink.
WILDLIFE DISEASES AND PARASITES
This unit is responsible for the identification of diseases and parasites, and the assessment of their frequency, inci- dence, distribution and effects. Research staff provided a diagnostic service to field staff, it) conjunction with the continuing survey of diseases and parasites of wildlife. The use by field staff of a recently prepared manual on this subject greatly assisted this project. Studies to determine the status of the kidney worm in mink, and the diseases and parasites of moose were continued. In 1966, the red fox was still the most important wildlife vector of rabies in Ontario. However, it is still almost absent from some parts of the Lake Erie district. The reasons for this are not known, but it is apparent that some unknown factors in the environment are restricting rabies epizootics among wildlife there. Studies of this situation may provide the answers.
UPLAND GAME AND WATERFOWL
Grouse, pheasants, rabbits, squirrels and other species of smaller birds and mammals (commonly known as upland game) ducks and geese, provide sport for more hunters in Ontario than all other wildlife species combined. Of considerable concern in the management of grouse and geese are their taxonomic relationships and behavorial characteristics. Research continued in various species and sub-species of grouse and Canada geese, both in Ontario and elsewhere, with the ultimate objective of discovering whether a biologic tag that could be used at any time of the year to determine the origin and distribution of discreet populations could be found. Preliminary results are promis- ing in identifying individuals from specific populations. Research on waterfowl was confined to the development and testing of a method to determine the annual breeding success of Canada and snow geese in northern Ontario. BIG GAME
Big game research, which is mostly of an ecological nature, is conducted on deer, moose and woodland caribou. Data were again collected in 1966 from the network of stations established to record snow depth — probably the most severe factor affecting survival and distribution of deer. Major logging activity during the 1850-1910 period resulted in residual stands that were favourable to deer until re- cently. Much of this forest has again become too mature for deer. Research is concentrating on learning to create an optimum balance between deer and timber crops. There is an abundance of moose in Ontario. Management problems centre around poor access over the moose range as a whole, and a consequent under-harvest of the expand- ing populations.
The research task is to identify and measure the forces of the environment that are preventing the caribou populations from expanding to a range area apparently several times larger than which they now occupy. Caribou are an import- ant source of food and clothing for northern Indians. PREDATOR RESEARCH AND MANAGEMENT During 1966, the wolf predator control program has been directed to training fur-trapping licencees to accept the responsibility for control of their trap lines. Extensive pro- grams of this nature were implemented in the Parry Sound and Pembroke Districts. There are tentative plans to carry out similar extension training programs in other districts where it would be considered necessary. Wolf censusing is being continued over areas where hunter success with respect to deer has declined over recent years, in order that predator control measures may be effected if the situation warrants it.
Research on timber wolves and their effects on prey popu- lations in Parry Sound District were continued. Also pre- liminary populations studies on black and polar bears were conducted.

CONSERVATION INFORMATION SECTION
During the past fiscal year, the Section worked through many media to disseminate information on the protection and management of the renewable, natural resources under the Department's administration.
Releases
Every week, the Lands and Forests news release circulated Department news and regulations and informed opinion in a form easily adapted by outside agencies. The mailing list of 3,500 included all newspapers, broadcasting stations and outdoor writers in Ontario, as well as magazines, trade papers, forest industries, conservation groups, and hunters' and anglers' clubs and associations. Ontario's tourist trade was assisted by the use of news release material by writers and commentators outside the Province. Each release carried a list of coming events of interest to recreational.
scientific and industrial groups in fields touching on the Department's administration. The French translation of the news release had a weekly circulation of 155. News of more than normal urgency was supplied directly to important news outlets by press releases. Special appeals were prepared for news media in season to enlist public support of Lands and Forests programs, prin- cipally in forest fire prevention and hunter safety. Editorial services for outside agencies increased the con- centration of conservation messages. Articles and back- ground material were prepared on request. Speech material was prepared for Department personnel invited to address public meetings.
Services
The Photograph Library loaned 9,500 black-and-white prints and 1,000 colour transparencies to newspapers and maga- zines during the year. Section photographers took photo- graphs on assignment and supplied prints from the dark- room at short notice. Sets of slides or prints were supplied on request to illustrate lectures. The library now has 35,000 negatives and 4,700 colour transparencies. During the year, 35,300 answers were returned by mail to persons requesting information on C-'own lands, outdoor recreation, nature study, forest industry and forest tree planting. In addition, numerous requests were answered by telephone.
The Reference Library circulated periodicals and press clippings.
To call for tenders on timber cutting, etc., 228 advertise- ments were placed in 46 newspapers during the year.

To place important facts on record before they were lost to knowledge or contemporary interpretation, the Depart- ment had long planned to publish a history of natural resources and their administration from the earliest days. Preliminary research work was done by Branches under the direction of the History Committee formed in 1963. The committee was guided by the advice of Professor J. M. S. Careless, Head of the History Department, University of Toronto.
Early in 1965, the Department contracted for the services of the author, Richard S. Lambert, M.A. (Wadham College, Oxford), the winner of the Governor-General's medal for juvenile literature in 1949 and the author of 30 books in- cluding five history texts approved for use in Ontario schools. Mr. Lambert shared the authorship with Paul Pross, M.A. (Queen's), Ph.D. (Toronto). Research work was assisted by a team of graduate history students from the University of Toronto.
"Renewing Nature's Wealth, A Centennial History of the Public Management of Lands, Forests and Wildlife in Ontario" was presented to the public in June, 1967, by Prime Minister John P. Robarts.
The 648-page volume was printed by Hunter Rose Company Limited, Toronto. The bulk of the 10,000 press run was dis- tributed through book stores at $9.50 per copy by Copp Clark Publishing Company, Toronto.
CONSERVATION EDUCATION SECTION
Conservation Education Section conducts an educational program which consists of the type of appeals calculated to attract public interest and explain in easily understand- able terms the need for the wise use of renewable, natural resources.
VISUAL EDUCATION
The Sections' film library contains 233 titles, with two or more prints of many of the titles. All films are available for loan to field offices upon request. During the year approxi- mately 1,350 films were shipped to field offices in answer to requests received. Each district has its own projector and it has access to regional film libraries as well as head office film library.
The Section loaned 16mm. motion picture projectors, 35mm. slide projectors, screens and films to Provincial Parks offer- ing an interpretative program to the public during the summer months.
During the year, the following films were added to head office and field film libraries:
Black Duck Boreal Forest Canada Goose Conservation & The Balance of Nature
Squeak, the Squirrel The Pond The Tree Trout Stream Whitethroat
Deer Family of North America Wonders in a Country Stream Forests For The Future Wood Duck Ways
Several thousand feet of motion picture film are available and being used by televjsion outlets in Ontario. In addition, a set of 15 one-minute television shorts entitled "Do You Know?" were made available to the television stations. Enough stock film footage was taken to assist in making a start to a new nJrsery film entitled •"Seeds to Trees". RADIO AND TELEVISION
Radio and television stations throughout the Province have been most generous in their donations of free time to the Department, and Districts regularly take advantage of these opportunities to reach the public. In addition to radio pro- grams, several Districts now conduct regular, live television broadcasts of their own. This Section also supplies Districts with films for use on television. EXHIBITS
Visual conservation appeals are featured in the Depart- ment's exhibits at many of the shows and fairs in Ontario. The major exhibits handled through this Section were as
follows:
Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto: The exhibit in the Ontario Government Building included sport fishes, snakes, animals and birds of Ontario with educational material on each. Other displays featured available lands for recreation, hunter safety training, a scale model of a burning forest fire showing the methods of forest fire fighting and the equip- ment used, a scale model of a typical Provincial Park and a display featuring the story of "seed to tree." The Conserva- tion Poster Contest for elementary school children from six to 14 years of age was held again this year. A Grand Prize of $100.(X) was presented for the best poster. First, second and third prizes, in each of three age groups, in the amounts of $50.00, $25.00 and $15.00 were awarded. 30 "Honourable Mentions", ten in each age group, were presented with books.
Canadian National Sportsmen's Show, Toronto: This exhibi
featured the fish and wildlife pavilion. Snakes, surveys
forest protection, parks, hunter safety, fur and timber wen
also displayed.
Central Canada Exhibition, Ottawa: Display consisted o
animals, birds and the "Seed to Tree" story.
Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, Toronto: The largest of ou
displays at the Royal so far which featured the story o
reforestation from the initial stages — i.e., cones, seeds
seedlings, through shipping to the woodlot owner and th(
proper planting methods. Also featured this year was th(
animal section of the pavilion, 16 cages of animals anc
birds, and a hunter safety display.
Full co-operation was also given to District Offices partici
pating in sportsmen's shows and agricultural fairs such a;
the Western Fair at London, the International Plowing Matc^
at Seaforth, the Timmins Sportsmen's Show and thf
Chatham Sportsmen's Show.
LECTURE TOURS
The Department kept in touch with the public through fish
and game association, schools, church groups, service clubs
and youth organizations. Illustrated lectures were given or
all aspects of the Department's work. Much progress was
made with programs at boys' and girls' summer camps ir
the Georgian Bay area.
The Department's head office and field staff presented 2,57f
lectures to audiences totalling 209,502 during the past fisca
year. Ontario Forestry Association personnel gave 1,06?
lectures in meetings attended by 29,965.
ACCIDENT CONTROL SECTION THE LOGGERS' SAFETY ACT
Inspection of logging operations and investigation of acci- dents have been carried out by the Department's 10 Acci- dent Control officers.
During 1966, approximately 824 inspections of logging operations were made and it was found necessary to apply seven "stop work" orders and many warnings for infringe- ments of the said Act. Accident Control officers in the field attended approximately % meetings having regard to the application and enforcement of the Act, and to stress the value of .safety education in the logging industry. During the year 15 fatalities were reported and investigated, plus 2,28fi non-fatal accidents.
A program of safety education, including safety awards and seminars for foremen and supervisors in the logging indus-l try, has been proposed and is being considered. By this means it is hoped that the accident frequency rate in this industry will be reduced.
HUNTER SAFETY TRAINING PROGRAM
Designed to teach hunters safe and proper gun handling, this program was initiated in the fall of 1957 on a voluntary basis. Game and fish clubs agreed to supply instructors and teach the course to young hunters. In remote areas where there are no clubs, the teaching is the responsibility of the Department.
Applications for instructors are screened and approved at District offices. Training material is then sent, followed by a brassard from head office. Instructors' workshops are held frequently, where problems can be solved, policy explained and new teaching methods demonstrated. Available to clubs on loan are films, slides, and defective firearms for use in classroom demonstrations. District offices supply instruc- tors with manuals, literature, registration cards, report cards, certificates of competence, safety posters, etc. Instructors are covered by liability insurance for personal and property damage.
Game and fish clubs instruct approximately 54 per cent of the students, the remainder being instructed in organiza- tions such as Boy Scouts, service clubs, cadet corps, Canadian Legion, etc.
In 1966, 19,342 students graduated compared to 17,577 in 1965, making a total of 121,953 graduates since the program was commenced in 1957.
Statistics of hunting accidents show a total of 130 (13 fatal, 117 non-fatal) for 1966. SAFETY IN PROVINCIAL PARKS
Accident Control officers make frequent inspections during the season in Provincial Parks reporting on unsafe condi- tions and hazardous objects that might prevail when people congregate. The findings are brought to the attention of the park superintendent or District Forester for remedial action. The safety section is not responsible for the beach patrol maintained by the Parks Branch.
During the months July to September, the Department sponsored a "Water Safety Demonstration" program pre- sented by the Ontario Safety League. The demonstrations were given in most of the 92 provincial parks and were viewed by more ♦han 150,000 during 1966. WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
Workmen's Compensation costs and the number of claims submitted have increased for the fiscal year. The total number of compensable claims was 588, an increase of 21 over that for the previous fiscal year. Total cost of Depart- ment claims was $171,315.47, an increase of $26,642,76. Average cost per claim was $159.00, an increase of $41.00 per claim.
Increased costs can be attributed mainly to higher wages being paid in 1966-67, upon which workmen's compensation was computed. Current medical aid and compensation in- creased by $18,928.52. Pensions, and medical aid plus compensation pertaining thereto, increased by $5,567.63. There were 20 high cost claims totalling $43,634.78, account- ing for 53 per cent of the total cost of medical aid and compensation.
Cost of fire fighting increased by approximately $600.00. A greater number of junior rangers were employed. Injury claims increased by 35, and cost of all junior ranger per- sonnel increased by $6,905.78.
Average number of employees increased by 461 but .5 per cent fewer employees were injured.
There was one death in the fiscal year, but the deceased was single and a pension was not required. Three new pensions commenced in the fiscal year and were made retroactive to 1965.
FOREST PROTECTION BPRANCH
OBJECTIVES
1. To protect Provincial forest lands against damage by fire and pests to the degree warranted by requirements for wood products, recreation and other public needs.
2. To protect life and property from forest fires.
3. To encourage and promote the protection of privately- owned forest lands.
4. To provide flying and communication services and to administer the construction and equipment program for the Department.
ORGANIZATION
Forest Protection Branch is divided into two Sections and their subordinate units with duties and responsibilities as follows.
FOREST PROTECTION

FOREST FIRE PROTECTION Forest Fire Control THE 1966 FIRE RECORD
During the 1966 season, 1.921 forest fires occurred in Ontario, burning 14,415 acres. Although this is the fifth highest number of fires recorded since the year 1917, th. acreage burned was the fourth lowest over the same perioc of time.
The average area burned per fire of 7.5 acres is the second lowest recorded and only surpassed by the 1959 average fire size of 5.0 acres. STATISTICS
The month of July shattered all records since 1936 for the most fires occurring in any one month. A total of 906 fires started during this month.
The trend to higher fire occurrence continued in 1966. The average incidence over the past five years of 1,674 fires is 28 per cent greater than the previous five year average of 1,304 fires. FIRE PREVENTION
On July 29th 1966, a historical plaque was unveiled near Matheson, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the forest fires which ravaged Matheson and other neighbouring communities during July 1916. This program was carried out in co-operation with the Ontario Forestry Association. The Matheson fire of 1916 is the worst in recorded Canadian history, taking a total of 223 lives. FIRE DETECTION
As part of a fire detection improvement program, further infrared detection trials were conducted in 1966. Unfortun- ately, the modified system was not available for field testing until late in August of 1966. The system was mounted on the wing-tip of a Turbo-Beaver aircraft and test-flown for a two week period in Northwestern Ontario. One wildfire (approxi- mately 200 acres) was flown and mapped while increasing in size and during the mop-up and patrol stage. The film results were good. In addition, a lightning fire was dis- covered for the first time by this system before being reported by any other reporting agency. It is planned to operate this unit for the complete 1967 fire season for further evaluation.
An aircraft detection study, initiated in Sault Ste. Marie District in 1963, was expanded to include two additional areas of approximately 2,000 square miles each in the vicinity of Kenora and Temagami. Within the two new study areas the regular detection system functioned normally and independantly from the aircraft system. Although results were favourable, additional studies are required before the system can be considered operational. TRAINING
Some 260 Department personnel have now completed the intensive five-week fire suppression instructor training course. Graduates of this course carried out individual District and Division training programs. Reduced fire losses and improved management of fire fighting operations have been experienced as a result of the program. Approximately 300 Indians received a 10-day fire suppression training course. This force was organized into 10 or 15-man crews, and maintained at key headquarters across the Province for the duration of the fire season. A short training course was developed on law enforcement and fire investigation procedures as they apply to the Forest Fires Prevention Act.
p
One five-day introductory course was conducted for 12 field supervisory staff on "Synoptic Scale Weather Phenomenon". The course was designed to familiarize personnel with weather phenomena as they are related to lofcal fire conditions.
A training film was produced during 1966 covering the sett- ing up of motor pumps and handling of hose by nozzle crews.
The preparation of a programmed learning booklet on the subject of "Fire Behaviour" was initiated during the latter part of 1%6. This approach to training allows each person to learn at his own individual rate. Further applications of this technique will be considered after the initial effort is fully tested and assessed. EQUIPMENT
During 1966, a combination sferics-radar system was used to plot lightning storm movement in northwestern Ontario. The objective was to delineate areas requiring intensified detection coverage. Results were encouraging and evalua- tion work with a full-time summer student and an improved sferics installation will be continued during 1967. This study will be tied in closely with evaluation work on airborne infrared detection equipment. AIR OPERATIONS
The water bombing systems, designed late in 1965 for the Department by Field Aviation, is now completely operational. The system was designed to give the option of using plain water or "Gelgard" additive. Several Otters, equipped with the system, operated during the 1966 fire season and were very successful in their water drop operations. Test pattern analysis carried out by the National Research Council, Flight Research Section and Department of Lands and Forests personnel indicate a pattern of approximately 165 x 25 feet with a concentration of 5.2 gallons per 100 s.f. or an average of 0.1" over the pattern. Recovery was 75 per cent, which compares favourably with previous tests. At the present time, a similar system is being produced for use in Turbo-Beaver aircraft and it is expected that 10 Otter and 15 Turbo-Beaver aircraft will be operational by the Spring of 1967. In addition, an integral float system will be developed and installed in a Twin Otter aircraft in 1967. The anticipated maximum load is about 400 gallons. This development greatly improves the performance of the smaller water bombing aircraft and eliminates the special water tanks that were formerly required. An air operations study has been initiated to provide guide- lines to the present and long term development of the Air Service. The type of aircraft, numbers, mix, deployment and management will be considered in the study. PRESCRIBED BURNING
21 prescribed burns were carried out in 1966, covering a total of 4,535 acres. 19 of these burns were carried out in conifer logging slash. The object of the majority of the burns was to prepare the sites for planting, and at the same time reduce the hazard by the elimination of slash. One burn was carried out to prepare seedbeds for natural regeneration and three were conducted to eliminate fire hazards. Two experimental burns irr hardwood were carried out as part of a continuing hardwood regeneration project. GENERAL DEVELOPMENTS
The provincial nozzle crew competition was held again in 1966 with much enthusiasm shown by field staff. This year's award was won by a crew from White River district.
Forest Pest Control
SURVEYS
Each year this Department participates in the Ontario portion of the Canada-wide forest insect and disease survey of the Federal Government. Detailed information concerning the occurrence and distribution of specific insects and diseases is contained in the survey's annual report. Atten- tion is drawn here to a few well-known pests of special interest.
For the third consecutive year, there have not been any serious spruce budworm infestations in Ontario, although the insect was found without difficulty in many locations. A few scattered light infestations occurred across northern Ontario, and the moderately heavy infestation of long standing in a white spruce plantation in the Uxbridge Forest persisted in 1%6.
The jack pine budworm, a close relative of the spruce bud- worm, which has not been a serious problem in Ontario for almost 30 years, occurred in epidemic numbers in 1966 in the western part of the Kenora and Fort Frances Districts, and at scattered locations as far east as Manitoulin Island. This insect has caused noticeable defoliation in parts of northwestern Ontario for the past few years, but the increases in 1966 may be more significant. The most spectacular insect in many parts of Ontario's forest for the past five years has been the forest tent cater- pillar. In 1966, this insect declined in Ontario as a whole. Partly as a result of unfavourable spring weather, the infestation virtually collapsed in northwestern Ontario and in the Kapuskasing District, where it had covered 35,000 square miles the previous year. In central and southern Ontario, the infestation occurred in widely scattered loca- tions from Sault Ste. Marie to Kemptville, and there was a small increase in the total area affected. Epidemics of the insect appear every 10 or 12 years, but very little permanent damage is done to the deciduous trees. Populations of the larch sawfly continued to increase in northern Ontario and to decline in the northeastern and southern portions of the Province. In keeping with rising populations of the insects on the Prairies, defoliation was most noticeable in the Kenora and Fort Frances Districts. In southern Ontario, high populations of the insect were confined mostly to plantations of European larch. The European pine sawfly — an insect native to Europe which entered Ontario via Windsor about 1940 — continued to spread and increase in severity. The insect feeds princi- pally on Scots, red and jack pines. During 1966, the eastern boundary of its occurrence extended eastward about 10 miles and is now a line roughly from Waubaushene to Orillia, Lindsay and to Brighton on Lake Ontario. An isolated outbreak also exists in Belleville. Last year, the insect was reported for the first time in Manitoulin Island. A special effort is being made to control its numbers on the island in order to delay spread to the mainland. The most noticeable tree disease in Ontario is the Dutch elm disease. The range of occurrence of the disease remained as reported in 1965, but the rate of mortality in elms increased greatly in many localities of southern Ontario.
For several years, young plantations of red and jack pines in the Kirkwood Forest have suffered high mortality and establishment of young stands has been very difficult. In 1962, the destructive organism responsible for this problem was identified as the Scleroderris canker. High disease losses attributed to this canker in several plantations, as well as in the Thessalon and Swastika nurseries, prompted a special effort in 1966 to determine the extent of the disease in the Province. It was found to occur frequently in young red and jack pine plantations in north-central and
north-eastern Ontario, but to be practically absent from northwestern and southern Ontario. Further studies will be conducted to determine the potential impact of the disease on the reforestation program. CONTROL
For the past few years, the forest insect causing greatest economic damage has been the white pine weevil. Control methods during 1%6 involved spraying with knapsack sprayers, using helicopters and hand clipping and burning infested leading shoots. A total of 2.800 acres of young white pine were treated.
Slightly over 4,200 acres of plantations were sprayed from the ground and air with chemicals for control oif sawflies — principally the red-headed pine sawfly and the European pine sawfly. An insecticidal virus was also sprayed to control the European pine sawfly. In an effort to avoid hazardous side-effects of DDT in rural areas, especially among fish, the Department initiated and co-ordinated a project with private tree farmers using the insecticide phosphamidon, applied by helicopter. Results were satisfactory and the method is expected to become standard practice. About 650 acres of sod-covered sites were treated for control of white grubs, as well as small acreages of similar sites for control of mice, where these pests threaten the survival of newly planted trees.
The major tree-killing disease in the forests of Ontario is the blister rust of white pine. A substantial disease-control program, which is part of the broader intensive management of white pine, has been in progress for many years. The disease is controlled by using the herbicide 2.4,5-T to kill the obligate host plants, wild currants and gooseberries, in the immediate vicinity of the pines. In 1966, more than 3,300 acres of high-value young pine stands were protected against the blister rust in parts of the Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay, Tweed, Kemptville and Lake Huron Districts. The relatively new disease of plantations in southern Ontario — fomes root rot — is now prevented through the applica- tion of a chemical to the freshly cut surface of stumps
during thinning operations. About 500 acres of thinnings were treated in 1966.
In an effort to provide additional skilled labour for removal of diseased elm trees, the Department initiated and co- ordinated an interdepartmental project to train Indian young men for this work, 55 of whom completed the course. Any further training projects will be initiated only after a com- plete evaluation of the results achieved.
Communications
A small increase (eight per cent) was recorded in radio- grams sent and received over the radio system in 1966, with 117,845 messages totalling 5,470,564 words being sent. Seven more VHF radio installations were added to the system located at Nipigon, Copper Lake, Kingston, Alexandria and Lanark and bringing the total to 177 points served. Major equipment acquisitions included 30 VHF mobile radiotelephone installations and 50 VHF Walkie-Talkies. A start was also made on a program to install VOR electronic navigation equipment in each aircraft of the Department's fleet of 41 machines. In addition, complete electronic com- munication and navigation installations were effected in nine new Turbo-Beaver aircraft.
The 1966 inventory of 2,605 pieces of two-way radio com- munications equipment comprised: 352 Lookout Tower VHF radiotelephones. 579 Mobile VHF radiotelephones. 15 Patrol vessel radiotelephones. 1,218 Portable radio telephones of all types and power outputs, both HF and VHF. 320 Fixed location ground station radiotelephones of ail types and powers, both HF and VHF. 41 Aircraft Radio Installations (4 systems in each
aircraft). 60 Portable VHF aircraft radiotelephones for installation'
in other than Government aircraft. 20 Aircraft Ground Hailers.

FISH AND WILDLIFE BRANCH
OBJECTIVE
To manage the lands and waters of the Province to ensure that (a) the maximum recreational and economic benefits are gained from the wildlife and fish species while keeping management practices compatible with other land and water uses; and to (b) permit the full harvest of the annual natural increases of fish and game species on a sustained yield basis.
ORGANIZATION
The Fish and Wildlife Branch is divided into two sections and their subordinate units with duties and responsibilities as follows: WILDLIFE
Game Management: Maintenance and increase of game abundance through improvement of habitat, regulations, inventory of game numbers, measures of participation by hunters, establishment of public hunting areas and develop- ment of agreement with landowners to provide improved game habitat and hunting opportunities. Fur Management: Biologically sound management of fur- bearing animals; counselling of trappers to assist them in achieving the highest economic returns for their furs; regu- lations; stocking of animals in depleted areas; and licensing of fur farms.
Field Services: Enforcement of the hunting and fishing regu- lations; development of training programs for conservation officers related to law enforcement; development of pro- grams to secure the co-operation of the public in observing regulations and conduct of safe hunter examinations. FISHERIES
Game Fish and Hatcheries: Lake and stream surveys; fish population studies; fish management units; public fishing areas; hatchery production; fish stocking; and licensing of private hatcheries.
Commercial Fish: Licensing of commercial operators; devel- opment of fisheries in Patricia area under Federal-Provincial Resources Development Agreement; and compilation of statistics on fishery effort and production. Fisheries Inventory: Inventory of the waters of the Province; organization and co-ordination of the field programs; imple- mentation of data processing systems to utilize inventory information for biological, economic and other uses. Indian Resource Development: Technical assistance to Indians in liaison with the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.
WILDLIFE SECTION Game Management
Ontario offers more than 400,000 square miles of varied habitat in which game species adapted to each area exist. Accordingly, there are outstanding opportunities both for nature study and hunting. It is impossible to estimate the numbers of residents and visitors who participate in bird watching, photography and other studies of bird and animal wildlife. The sale of hunting licences, however, provides an accurate estimate of the numbers of those who participate in hunting as outlined below.

Once again there was an increase in the numbers of all licences sold, with the exception of the resident moose, which declined by 12,000.
The increasing interest and participation of sportsmen makes the development of a modern and effective wildlife management program essential. Inventories of game and their habitat, collection of harvest data, evaluation of habi- tat in the development of means to improve it, the creation of realistic regulations and their enforcement, the use of appropriate stocking techniques and the development of a suitable educational and public relations program are all part of game management.
Accompanying this is a continuing need to develop our staff of biologists, foresters and conservation officers, which has been done through special courses in the Universities and at the Ontario Forest Ranger School at Dorset. DEER HUNTING AND MANAGEMENT Over 146,000 deer licences were sold in 1966 compared with 140,000 in 1965. In addition, 12,700 non-resident moose licence holders could hunt deer if they wished. To obtain information on the hunt, 29,854 hunters were interviewed at checking stations and 3,719 were contacted in mailed surveys.
Southern Ontario: The dominant influence on hunting across the whole of southern Ontario was the heavy rain, during the first week of the season. Many hunters stayed home or sat in their camps rather than face the downpour. The rain was lightest towards the western side of southern Ontario, but was heavy from Lindsay eastward. The effect is evident in hunting success figures. Interviews with 15,659 hunters in Parry Sound, Lindsay and Tweed districts revealed that only in Parry Sound was the hunting as good as in 1965. In Lindsay the overall success dropped from 21.1% to 16.5%, and in Tweed from 29.0% to 17.4%. This was entirely due to the inclement weather. As usual, there were great differ- ences between organized hunters who generally had about 20% to 25% success and casual hunters who usually only had about 5%. The Bruce Peninsula was not so much affec- ted by rain and showed a slightly higher hunter success than in 1965, but both Lake Simcoe and Kemptville districts were lower.
Farther north in North Bay and Pembroke Districts, hunters have been seeing fewer deer in recent years due to the mortality resulting from deep snow during the winters of 1958-'59 and 1959-'60. This year they were further discour- aged by the miserable rainy weather. The overall hunter success was only 7.3% in North Bay District and 16.9% in Pembroke District. Surprisingly the success of casual hunters in Pembroke District remained high. At 9.6% it was higher than in Parry Sound, Lindsay or Tweed. It may be that organized hunters were more easily persuaded to stay in camp or the severe winters may have been worse in the northern parts of the district where most hunt camps were located.
In Sudbury and Sault Ste. Marie districts, the story was different. Manitoulin Island hunter success was up slightly to 29.2% in spite of rather poor weather. Unfortunately, the restricted land area on which this hunting took place led to overcrowding and there were complaints by hunters that they were interfering with each other. In Sault Ste. Marie district, the smaller number of hunters found that the deer herd was recovering from the mortality of 1958-'59 and 1959-'60. They had the highest success for many years at 30.0%.

Northwestern Ontario: The sequence of mild and severe winters has been different in northwestern Ontario. The most recent severe winter was in l%5-66 and its effect on the deer was evident in the age distribution of deer and hunter success reported from the 1966 hunt. The deer which were yearlings during the hunting season had been fawns through the severe winter and had suffered most. This was shown by the decrease in percentage of yearlings in Fort Frances, Sioux Lookout and, particularly, in Kenora
District where yearlings were little more than half the per- centage of 1965. In addition, the severe winter left does in poor shape for raising young, and in Kenora fawns de- creased from 24.7% of the kill in 1%5 to 12.6% in 1966. Such a loss of deer was bound to affect hunter success. All three Districts showed decreases but Sioux Lookout was worst, dropping from 28.2% in 1965 to 13.6% in 1966. Al- though hunter success also decreased in Fort Frances and Kenora Districts, it was still higher than in any other part of the Province.
Evidence of Winter Deer Mortality in Northwestern Ontario during the Winter of 1965-'66 as revealed by data from the 1966 Deer Hunt:

Prospects for 1967: The winter of 1966-'67 was hard but not severe in southern Ontario. Therefore, it is predicted that, given normal hunting weather, hunter success should be somewhat better than last year. In northwestern Ontario, hunter success will probably be about the same as last year, but somewhat lower than in the past.
Deer Range Improvement: Since the winter was mild no emergency operations were undertaken, but deer range im- provement work continued on about the same scale as in previous years. Various treatments were tried on small areas to compare costs, to find methods which produced most browse and to find the browse utilized by deer. A total of 225.2 acres was treated in six districts at a total cost of $13,383. This work has provided us with much needed exper- ience in deer range improvement as well as providing food for the deer.

Spring Deer Surveys: Because the winter of 1965-66 was very mild in southern Ontario, few Districts put much effort into spring surveys of deer. On the Bruce Peninsula, in Lake Huron District, the loss of deer was only 4.3%. This is very light compared with up to 40% lost during years with deep snow. A browse survey on the Bruce Peninsula revealed that deer wintering in areas where white cedar was abund- ant were using the cedar mostly for shelter. Food was provided by dogwood mixed with small amounts of other hardwoods such as willow, aspen and cherry. In Sault Ste. Marie District, winter losses were only 8%. In three areas where pellet group counts have been carried out each year since 1963, they have indicated a remarkable increase in the deer population. On the basis of these fig- ures, the Sault Ste. Marie District staff predicted an im- provement in deer hunting this fall and the fulfillment of this prediction has already been described. In northwestern Ontario, the situation was completely differ- ent. There was very deep snow, up to 37 inches, and it lasted throughout most of the winter. Observations of deer indicated they were in poor condition. The dead deer which were examined showed little fat in the bone marrow, an indication that body fat had already been exhausted. Al- though neither Sioux Lookout nor Kenora Districts found many dead deer in their spring surveys, shortages of deer did show up in the hunt. Thus, the survey methods must have been at fault and will have to be improved.

MOOSE MANAGEMENT
The objective of moose management in Ontario is to provide the most hunting and viewing of moose which can be sus- tained without interfering with other interests. During 1966, nearly 61,000 hunters bought moose licences. Once again a new record was set as the increase was 18% over the previous high in 1965. This increase is all the more significant in view of the fact that there was no hunting in southern Ontario, except in the Pembroke Forest District. An estimated 56,398 of the licence holders hunted and killed 14,593 moose. Thus overall success was 26%. Wide variations in hunter success occurred throughout the moose range, with hunters in northwestern Ontario being more successful than those in the more heavily hunted north- eastern areas. Non-residents as usual were more successful than residents. This reflects the greater amount of effort and money spent by the average non-resident to get a moose. The problem of hunter distribution was the greatest it has ever been. Evidence of this was the numerous congested areas where road-hunters living in campers and tents con- gregated. There was a rapid increase in the number of non- residents, particularly, who were doing their moose hunting this way. As a result of the build-up of hunter numbers in certain popular areas, the hunter success for both residents and non-residents declined. But the number of moose killed remained virtually the same as in the previous year. For example, in Kapuskasing District, where motor tobog- gans are widely used, over 100 man-days of hunting per week were recorded throughout November and mid- December. During the last three weeks, the man-days of hunting dropped to 77, 63, and then increased again to 108. On the other hand, in Geraldton District, where there was little use of motor toboggans, the man-days of hunting were much higher during the first two weeks of October than in Kapuskasing District, but were never over 100 after the first week of November.
A special survey of hunters using motor toboggans in Kapus- kasing District revealed that 388 residents killed 111 moose and nine non-residents killed four. The success rates of 28.6% for residents using motor toboggans and 44.9% for non-residents were considerably higher than the overall success rate for that District of 22.6% for residents and 35.8% for non-residents. A similar survey in Cochrane Dis- trict showed that hunters with motor toboggans went as far as 30 miles from main roads. Thus, the use of these machines for moose hunting provides increased hunting opportunities during the latter part of the season by pro- viding an opportunity for hunters to get away from the road- ways. As long as they are used for transportation only and not for chasing moose, the introduction of the motor tobog- gan can be viewed as a progressive development in moose hunting.
Prospects for the 1967 season are for even more hunters and a higher kill of moose. Results of aerial surveys and analyses of biological data — such as sex and age ratios and reproductive rates — indicate that the allowable harvest from the total population of moose is nowhere near being utilized as yet in most of the northern moose range. In the south, the situation is different since with more hunters and greater accessibility moose are more vulnerable to hunting. As a result, local overshooting has occurred in the past. To allow moose numbers to build up, the seasons were shorter or in some areas closed.
Traditionally, the moose hunt has not lasted much more than the first two or three weeks of October, during which time 70% to 80% of the kill has been made. That is, after the snow came and lakes froze up, most hunters seemed to prefer not to hunt moose. The advent of cheap reliable winter transportation in the form of powered snow tobog- gans apparently is changing this. In each of the last few years, there has been more use made of such vehicles and, as a result, hunting pressure is gradually being spread out more over the whole season. SPRING BEAR HUNTING
Bear management aims at reducing the wasteful shooting of bears merely because they are a nuisance, and promot- ing more positive uses such as sport hunting and observing. It is evident that this policy is succeeding from the con- tinued increase in licence sales. In 1966, 3,910 non-resident spring bear hunting licences were sold, representing a 48% increase over sales in 1965, and 813 resident licences, representing a 39% increase. Inquiries about bear hunting by residents have been increasing and it seems evident that, after a rather slow start during the past few years, bear hunting is increasing in popularity.
Table 7
MOOSE HARVEST DATA FROM HUNTER SURVEYS 1966-'67
Mailed surveys of bear hunters are not conducted, but in- formation is obtained through post cards attached to the licences. As a result, the percent success reported is too high, for hunters who have shot a bear are more likely to reply than those who have not. However, this bias should remain fairly constant from year to year. This being so, the results (see table 8) suggest that more bears have been shot than in previous years. As is the case with moose, the in- crease in numbers of bears shot has not kept up with the increase in numbers of hunters. This is probably because many hunters taking up bear hunting for the first time are inexperienced.
Over 80% of the bear hunters are non-residents. Of these, about one-quarter come from Michigan, a fifth from Pennsyl- vania and nearly a fifth from Ohio. The rest come from the remaining eastern and mid-western states. These hunters go mainly to Sault Ste. Marie district (167 reported), Chapleau (163), Swastika (116) and Kenora (92). Among these the highest success in 1966 was reported from Kenora, where it was 49%; Swastika reported 40%, Sault Ste. Marie 35% and Chapleau 34%.
Most of the bears shot are adult males. In 1966, they com- prised 60% of the kill. The rest were 26% adult females. 9% male cubs and 5% female cubs. Since bears collected in other ways usually show less than 50% adult males, it seems that hunters are selecting them because of their size, or else they are inclined to boast about shooting adult males when in fact they have not. Probably both these factors affect the sex ratios reported.
Bears weighed thus far in Ontario have averaged less than bears from other areas. The average for 34 adult males was 179 pounds, compared with 263 for 19 weighed in New Hampshire, 324 for 49 weighed in New York, and 305 for 16 weighed in Florida. The average weight for 26 adult females in Ontario was 126, compared with 183 for 11 in New Hamp- shire, 200 for 19 in New York, and 189 for 12 in Florida. The biggest bear weighed so far from Ontario was killed by a car in the Magnetawan River area of Parry Sound district and weighed 451 pounds. For comparison, record weights from New York were 599 pounds (1956) and for Florida 580 pounds (1959). The reason that bears in Ontario are smaller is not known.
The favourite month for hunting bears is May, when 57% were shot in 1966. Bears are also shot during the fall hunting seasons, but present statistical data concerning numbers and sex is not adequate.

The prime objective of management is to maintain or in- crease natural ring-necked pheasant populations in suitable habitat, and to provide recreational opportunities at as high a level as possible consistent with principles of sustained yield and other uses of agricultural land. Management includes the maintenance of natural popula- tions in areas having less than 50 inches annual snowfall a year; the utilization of game farm stocks as efficiently as possible; and the collection of information relating to pheasant populations and their harvest. Season lengths varied from four to 83 days across the Province, depending upon the availability of pheasants and maintenance of breeding stocks. Bag limits remained un- changed with the exception of Lincoln County, where an experimental "cocks only" season was instituted. Distribution of Game Farm Stock: Two Provincial game bird farms continued to play an important role in the regulated township system in maintaining private lands open to public upland game hunting. Day-old chicks, poults and year-old breeding stock were provided to municipalities and sports- men's clubs for immediate or subsequent release. Increased numbers of adult birds were reared at the game farms for release on public hunting units operated by the Department.

Habitat Management: One of the most important factors limiting native populations of ring-necked pheasants is the loss of nests and nesting hens from hay-mowing operations. The staff of southern Districts publicized the need to leave the cutting of grass along roadsides, farm lanes and other waste areas until after July 10 to increase pheasant pro- duction. Publicity respecting other effective management practices also was provided.
Special Studies: To evaluate the effects of such factors as land-use practices, agricultural insecticide applications, and harvest regulations on pheasant populations in the Niagara Peninsula, a special five-year study was instituted in 1966 in Lincoln and Welland counties. A graduate biologist was hired on a contract in November, 1966 for a six-month period to coordinate initial stages of the study which is continuing.
HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGE
Management of Hungarian partridge is designed to estab- lish populations in all areas of suitable habitat in the Province, and to provide maximum recreational use of available partridge stocks.
Kemptville District staff live-trapped 101 partridges during January and February, 1967. Some 50 of these birds were released in March in Tecumseth Township, Simcoe County; 36 were released in Darlington Township, Durham County. The remainder were held for propagation purposes at the Codrington Game Farm.
Partridge populations in the most important hunting range in eastern Ontario continued to prosper. Covey counts, average covey size and availability of birds during the liberal season established from September 24 to November 26 inclusive, indicated an increase in the number of Hungarian partridge from the previous year. BOBWHITE QUAIL AND OTHER SMALL GAME Bobwhite quail continued to increase in numbers and in distribution, and the counties of Kent, Lambton, Middlesex and Elgin enjoyed a hunting season from November 2 to 12 in 1966.
The cottontail rabbit, European hare and, in some areas, the snowshoe hare, continued to supply a very large amount of quality recreation. Populations of cottontails and "jacks," as European hare are called, were at particularly good levels across much of southern Ontario. For example, field checks of 1,388 rabbit hunters in Peel, Ontario, Simcoe and York counties, in Lake Simcoe District, indicated a harvest of 259 cottontails, 235 European hares and 96 snowshoe hares, and an average daily success rate of 2.43 animals per hunter.
All available information indicates that hunting pressure has little influence on the annual status of most resident small game species. Thus, management aims to provide informa- tion to the public relative to annual availability of small crops and to establish the most liberal seasons possible, consistent with other uses of land in agricultural areas. Since a high proportion of small game hunting takes place on private lands, the development of good hunter-landowner relations is important.
Many small game species, such as woodcock, snipe, squirrel and raccoon, are neglected by a large proportion of Ontario's hunters. Although these species were present in good num- bers across much of Ontario, only a very small fraction of the available surplus was taken by hunting. WATERFOWL MANAGEMENT
Ontario's waterfowl management objectives are designed to maintain waterfowl populations at or near the levels which occurred during the favourable 1955-57 period, and to pro- vide opportunities for quality recreation so that hunters and non-hunters alike can utilize and enjoy the resource, now and in the future. Specifically, management is designed to determine and predict trends in the annual abundance of important species produced in Ontario, and to keep the public informed on important facets of waterfowl manage- ment. The utilization of under-harvested species is desir- able, and reduction of the kill of those species exhibiting lesser abundance due to habitat conditions is essential. Development, protection and improvement of habitat im- portant to waterfowl is necessary to improve waterfowl production where possible. The management program includes development of additional hunting opportunities for waterfowl in areas where public access is limited or where certain species of waterfowl are not now available to Ontario residents.
Waterfowl banding continues to be a most important man- agement technique in assessing the status of important waterfowl species in Ontario. Many agencies co-operated in the 1966 banding program, including this Department, the Canadian Wildlife Service, the United States Fish and Wild- life Service, and interested private agencies such as the University of Guelph, Sportsmen's Clubs, and the Ontario Bird Banders' Association. In total, 12,778 ducks and geese were banded prior to the season in 1966. Of the 28 banding stations, Department personnel operated 15 and provided direct or technical assistance to five others.

Seasons and bag limits were established in consultation with Federal authorities. Wood ducks continued to increase and a daily limit of four again was allowed; restrictions on red heads and canvasbacks were retained with a limit of two of either species. After October 14, hunters were allowed an additional two scaup or goldeneye since, at present, these late migrants are hunted very lightly. The Department co-operated fully in the institution of a new Federal migratory game bird hunting permit which is de- signed to facilitate surveys of waterfowl hunters and to obtain, for the first time, accurate information concerning the distribution of hunters in Canada and their harvest of waterfowl. First year permit sales are listed below and indi- cate the importance of waterfowl hunting in this Province.

During the season, almost 9,000 wings of waterfowl taken by hunters were collected. These were analyzed by staff biolo- gists and conservation officers as to species, age and sex by noting colour and ware patterns of feathers. An expert in this technique from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service gave leadership in this work, and the data were analyzed by computer at the University of Guelph. Improvement of waterfowl habitat and production continued in various districts. Over 2,000 acres of prime habitat at Tiny Marsh, near Midland, was created by a dam erected in March, 1967. The Districts of Fort Frances, Swastika and Kemptville created additional waterfowl pot-hole habitat in areas of heavy vegetation and shallow water by exploding a combination of ammonium-nitrate and fuel oil. This rela- tively new and inexpensive technique will prove most useful in improving wetland habitat in future years. On the goose management area on Lake St. Lawrence, production of Canada geese continued to increase. More than 700 goslings were produced on the adjacent Ontario and New York water- fowl management areas, where breeding Canada geese were rare or absent only 10 years ago. Over 3,000 migrating Canadas stopped over at the St. Lawrence Sanctuary during the fall flight. Although total kill is not known, all evidence suggests that Canada geese were taken in greater numbers than usual across the eastern counties in 1966. In the Hudson Bay and James Bay areas, the Department continues to assist Indians in establishing commercial goose hunting camps. At the camp at Fort Severn, a total income of $9,510.82 was realized from the 108 hunters par- ticipating; 2,305 geese, 121 ducks, 61 ptarmigan and 14 seals were taken by the tourists and Indians in 1966. Goose hunt- ing was excellent and all but three hunters left with their possession limit of 10 geese.
A new Indian-run goose camp was set up in 1966 at Kapiskau on James Bay, near Fort Albany, under the direction of Cochrane District personnel, in its first season of operation, the camp ran at less than capacity, but a gross income from all sources of $3,310.50 was realized. A total of 926 geese, 482 ducks, one bear (black) and one ruffed grouse were taken by Indian and white hunters from September 14 to October 9 inclusive.
Table 14
RUFFED GROUSE HUNTER SUCCESS, 1965-1966
RUFFED GROUSE MANAGEMENT
Management objectives are directed toward: (a) encourag- ing and providing suitable regulations for the optimum utilization of this generally under-harvested species, which is subject to periodic severe fluctuations in numbers; (b) encouraging the use of woodland management tech- niques, which increase the production of grouse; (c) improv- ing grouse production on intensively managed public hunt- ing areas through habitat improvement techniques; and (d) recording trends in grouse abundance and providing the public with predictions regarding the annual availability of grouse.
District staff assessed grouse populations by means of drumming counts in spring, brood counts in summer and the availability of grouse to hunters during the open season. In general, northern populations of ruffed grouse were not at the high levels often reached during the peak of the nine-year grouse cycle. Although there was evidence that declines had occurred in hunter success in many Districts, they were not substantial. From information for the past several years, it appears that grouse are on the ascending aspect of their cycle.
In the discontinuous woodlands of agricultural southern Ontario, where violent fluctuations in grouse numbers are not common, excellent grouse hunting again was available. The following table shows hunter success figures for 1965 and 1966:

PHEASANT HUNTING UNITS
Four pheasant hunting units operated by the Department in 1966 offered quality, "pay-as-you-go" hunting to 3,484 sports- men. At Presqu'ile, Darlington and Sibbald Point Parks and on the Gananoque Provincial Hunting Area, 5,169 pheasants from the Codrington and Normandale Game Bird Farms were released. A limited number of pheasants were released in Tiny Marsh of Simcoe County, in the Gamebridge area of Ontario County, and Brighton in Northumberland County to provide opportunities to hunt pheasants outside the natural range of this game bird.
The open season for public hunting of pheasants on a por- tion of each park extended from October 12 to November 30. Permits were made available on a first-come, first-served basis at a fee of $5.00. The number of hunters in each hunt- ing area was restricted and the bag limit was three pheas- ants regardless of sex.
Statistics on pheasant hunting areas operated by the Depart- ment in Provincial Parks are as follows:

In the three parks listed above, 2,324 hunters participated in 1966, compared to 1,592 the year previously. Pheasant hunt- ing in Earl Rowe Provincial Park was discontinued in 1966 because of intensive park development. MULTIPLE PURPOSE HUNTING UNITS I he Gananoque Provincial Hunting Area is a 1,041 acre tract of land in Leeds and Frontenac counties, acquired for the purpose of providing hunting for several game species including rabbits, ruffed grouse, woodcock, waterfowl and deer. Pheasants are hunted on a put-and-take basis. Habitat improvements to the management area in 1966 in- cluded planting 60,000 conifers and 575 shrubs suitable for ruffed grouse winter shelter and escape cover. Statistics for the 1966 season are as follows:

WATERFOWL HUNTING UNITS
Five marshlands adjoining Provincial parks were managed in 1966 to provide the public with opportunities to hunt waterfowl. Department blinds were available to sportsmen for a daily fee of $4.00 at Long Point and Rondeau on Lake Erie, and $2.00 at Darlington Park on Lake Ontario. These controlled shooting areas are managed to provide hunting of reasonable quality by attracting and holding waterfowl in the marsh through a system of refuges and feeding sanctu- aries. Seasonal permits for waterfowl hunting were issued at $4.00 each on the less intensively managed units at Holi- day Beach and Presqu'ile Provincial Parks and a portion of Rondeau Provincial Park. Statistics for these areas for 1966 follow:

Total number of hunters in all units — 4,531. Popularity of the Provincial public hunting ground system has grown in recent years. Plans are underway to increase the number of managed wildlife areas throughout the Province.
Since the land acquisition program began in 1962, 15,655 acres have been purchased for fish and wildlife manage- ment purposes. During the current fiscal year, 6,197 acres were acquired on seven wildlife management areas. Under current legislation, the Minister may enter into agree- ments with the owners of lands respecting the management, perpetuation and rehabilitation of the wildlife resources of Ontario. At the present time, this program of landowner assistance is in the planning stage, and will be designed to provide assistance to landowners in the form of protection against vandalism and careless hunting practices, and to increase game densities by improving quality and quantity of game habitat through provision of technical advice and other assistance to the landowner. PUBLIC HUNTING GROUND PROGRAM The objectives of the Public Hunting Ground Program in- clude assuring that significant areas of Provincial Crown lands are retained from alienation or that land is acquired by the Crown to provide for hunting, fishing and associated recreation; providing hunting in areas where such oppor- tunities have become restricted and the need for public hunting land is urgent; providing public access for purposes of hunting, fishing and other associated recreational pur- suits on Crown lands; and the production of wildlife to full capacity on private lands through technical and other assist- ance to the landowner, and to make wildlife surpluses avail- able to the public under Department-landowner agreements. The need for public hunting grounds is greatest in Essex County; Lambton County near Sarnia; Middlesex and Elgin Counties near London and St. Thomas; Lincoln County near St. Catharines; Wentworth County near Hamilton; Waterloo County near Kitchener and Guelph, and Halton, Peel, York and Ontario Counties within a 50-mile radius of Toronto. The amount of land recommended for acquisition in each county is based on proximity of the area to population centres, capability of the area to produce wildlife and the possibilities for intensive management of a variety of wild- life species, costs of acquisition and development and danger of destruction of wildlife habitat.
Fur Management
Beaver remains the most important fur-bearer in Ontario. Beaver populations are generally stable, although they may be down slightly in some areas of Patricia East and perhaps also in the Pembroke District. The slight drop in beaver harvest, though not particularly significant, is attributed to the drop in market value.
The mink situation has been a source of concern for the past four years, with populations dwindling all over the Province. However, there is an encouraging pattern emerg- ing, with noticeable increases of population throughout the northwestern part of the Province, some stabilizing at a low point in the north-central area, while still declining slightly south of the Sudbury and North Bay Districts. It would appear that the return of good populations has started in the north-west and is spreading south and east. An interest- ing development in the fur market appeared during the year when mink pelts, although scarce, still exhibited a decline in prices.
The long hair furs (fisher, fox, lynx, marten, raccoon) dropped considerably in market value this year, but this appears to represent a return to more realistic prices after a few years of speculation in these pelts. The production of fisher and raccoon appears to be fairly stable, while lynx is still low. Lynx production should begin to recover next year and should provide an increased harvest in 1968-'69. Col- oured fox populations are high enough that there is an increased harvest despite the reduced value. The marten population is still increasing and spreading in most areas, though harvests are many times greater than ever recorded. The muskrat populations are governed principally by water levels, hence patterns vary throughout the Province. Be-
cause of severe water level fluctuations, populations are down in Fort Frances and Sioux Lookout Districts, but up in Swastika. Lake Erie, Pembroke and Lake Simcoe Districts. The value of muskrat dropped drastically (60%), but the harvest was down only a relatively small amount. FUR FARMING
The first and largest part of the 1966 ranch-raised mink crop was offered in December auctions to a very depressed fur market. Buyer attendance was lighter and a selective demand at substantially lower prices compared to the 1965 crop sales.
Good quality, dark and pastel mink, declined 25% and 15% respectively, with little demand or interest shown in either type. Light Blue, Dark Blue, Pearl and Beige types declined 20% to 30%, with limited interest shown. Reserve limits based 10% below 1965 prices — the decline which was anticipated — and resulted in a large number of buy backs. Turnover at the initial sales ran 50% to 70%. The cause of the sharp decline in the market is attributed to a number of factors. The mild recession in the economy of the large mink-consuming countries, and the decline in the stock market restricting the sale of garments at the retail level. The world production of mink approached the 24 million mark, a factor which ensured buyers a plentiful supply of pelts throughout the year and which could extend into the 1967 crop year.
As of March 1, 1967, 80% of the 1966 Canadian ranch mink production was sold. However, as it is estimated that only 35% to 40% of the world production was sold at this date, it is almost a certainty that a large carry-over will exist when the 1967 crop comes to market. The prospects, therefore, for the next selling season do not look bright.

Ranch-raised foxes also declined 25% from the 1965 price levels, as did all wild fur species with the exception of beaver. As in the previous year, most of the Silver, Platinum and Pearl Platinum foxes were sold to Japan. The small quantity of the Dawn-Glo fox, which was developed on an Ontario ranch, declined 10% and were purchased for an account in Japan.
The disease incidence on Ontario ranches was minimal again in 1966. Six cases of distemper, one case of virus enteritis and four cases of plasmacytosis were diagnosed at the Ontario Veterinary College. The increased use of pre- ventive vaccines for distemper and virus enteritis has achieved this good record, but distemper could be further reduced if more ranchers used the vaccine. It is felt that more cases of plasmacytosis exist on Ontario ranches than is reported to the Ontario Veterinary College. A total of 494 Fur Farmer's Licences were issued during 1966. Of these, 444 were renewals of previous licences, 47 were for newly-established ranches and three licences were issued with retroactive provisions to legalize the operation of unlicensed ranches during the previous year. There was an increase of 86,502 or 18.03% in the production of mink pelts on Ontario ranches in 1966 as compared to the previous year.
Field Services
The purpose of law enforcement is to prevent violations by encouraging the public to obey the regulations made to ensure good fish and wildlife management. These are based upon the biological requirements indicated from field studies, and the social needs of fair play and equitable use of such natural resources. Where persuasion and education fail, prosecution is necessary and a high standard of law enforcement is essential to meet these objectives. To meet this challenge, a comprehensive training program for conservation officers has been established. Some 103 Department employees who enforce the game and fish laws received instruction from the Branch Law Enforcement Training Officer. More advanced instruction was provided for 25 officers attending the Fish and Wildlife Certificate Course at the Ontario Forest Ranger School, Dorset, by in- structors from the Ontario Provincial Police Force and the Department. In addition, 16 Fish and Wildlife officers and biologists with supervisory responsibilities attended a three- week law enforcement training course at the Ontario Police College, Aylmer. Instruction in evidence, power and proce- dure of arrest, the Canada Evidence Act, The Game and Fish Act, the Fisheries Act, The Ontario Fishery Regulations, the Migratory Birds Convention Act and Regulations, and the Summary procedures as prescribed in the Criminal Code and the Ontario Summary Convictions Act, were provided. The Conservation Officer staff, which includes some Super- visors and all those whose duties are actively engaged in enforcement in the field, number 250. Registered convictions for the fiscal year 1966-'67 totalled 2,626. This is an increase of 279 over the previous year and is due in part to an increasing number of hunters and anglers in the field, an increase in the number of violations encountered and increased efficiency in the enforcement staff in obtaining convictions.
Over the past ten years, an average of 2,356 convictions have been recorded each year. In the year under review the average was exceeded by 270. The record for the past five years has been:

About one-quarter of the prosecutions against anglers, hunters and trappers, amounting to 652 cases, were for angling, hunting or trapping without the authority of a licence. This is an increase over last year by ISO persons. Evaluation of a law enforcement program is difficult. New laws and increased use of natural resources help to account

for increased numbers of violations. Hunting or fishing without a licence is a violation for which there is little excuse, and may be a good measure of public tendency to violate the law.

Assistance in the law enforcement program is provided by biologists, foresters, chief and deputy chief forest rangers and technicians who hold appointments as special conserva- tion officers. There are also some 1,100 deputy conservation officers offering volunteer service in law enforcement. The Ontario Provincial Police work with our conservation officers and provide special assistance during the spring spawning of rainbow trout and walleyes. These co-operative efforts resulted in convictions both under The Ontario Fishery Regulations and The Liquor Control Act. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police provided increased assistance with enforce- ment of the Migratory Birds Convention Act and the Regulations.
Items required for evidence used in violations of The Game and Fish Act, The Ontario Fishery Regulations and the Migratory Bird Regulations are seized by the conservation officer at the time the accused is apprehended. Upon con- viction, this equipment becomes the property of the Crown. The Minister may grant relief from forfeiture upon such terms as he deems just, and a majority of such items are restored to their former owners. This does not apply to items the possession of which may be illegal. Articles which become the property of the Crown are sold at public auction. A total of $11,234.80 was realized from such sales.
HUNTING LICENCE EXAMINATIONS
Regulations were passed providing for conservation officers to become examiners of new applicants for a hunting licence under a uniform and standard set of examinations designated to reduce hunting accidents in the Province. The Hunter Safety Training Program, formerly a responsi- bility of the Fish and Wildlife Branch, was transferred to the Operations Branch.
Conservation officers who were formerly hunter safety train- ing instructors were relieved of this responsibility in view of their new role as examiners. Hunters may now select training from any source they choose. No examinations were provided during the year under review. It is not expected that the 20,000 new hunters recorded each year in Ontario will enter the program completely until 1968, when the examination becomes mandatory for all hunters seeking a licence for the first time.
FISHERIES SECTION
Fisheries section is responsible for the application of the principles of full, multiple and public use on a sustained yield basis to the fishery resources of the Province. The application of these principles involves an understanding of the resources and the organization of programs for its optimum harvest.
Progress in reaching the objectives of fisheries management was marked primarily by minor additions to staff and some reorganization, as well as redirection of emphasis of various programs. Perhaps most significant was the addition of a new Unit in the Fisheries Section to coordinate the lake survey program across the Province — an important part of the field program of the Districts but which has been unable to keep up to the necessary demand in recent years. The Unit now consists of a senior biologist, a fisheries manage- ment technician and a clerk.
At the same time, the Commercial Fisheries Unit, through adjustments in staff functions, was able to add a biologist to initiate a program for the development of quota manage- ment and more extensive fish sampling by the field staff. The policy of initiating programs directed at assisting the industry in exploring methods of catching fish, transporta- tion of quality products, and processing was established in principle.
The addition of a Fisheries Management Unit to concentrate on fisheries problems on Lakes Temagami and Nipissing established a fifth such "intensive-study team" in a key fishery water. At the same time, the importance of District fisheries management officers was recognized, and two addi- tional positions were created bringing the total number to thirteen.
The Fish Culturist training program previously directed to hatchery technicians was re-established and expanded to include additional fisheries management training. In addi- tion to hatchery technicians, biologists, fishery management officers and conservation officers were offered the course to improve their technical background in fish culture and field management.
The program of modernizing and renovating the provincial hatchery system was marked by the beginning of recon- struction of the North Bay trout rearing station.
Game Fish and Hatcheries
This Unit is responsible for the planning and coordination of programs to develop and maintain the sports fishery in- cluding: production of hatchery fish stocks; control and distribution of stocks; stimulation of private hatchery and fish pond development; modernization of the hatchery sys- tem; application of new fish cultural techniques; assessment of utilization by angling, including the effectiveness of plant- ing; establishing angling seasons; habitat improvement including lake reclamation and stream improvement; co- ordinating studies of fisheries problems and assessing results; acquisition and development Of public fishing areas; providing information and promoting the sports fishery. FISHERIES MANAGEMENT UNITS
(a) Kawartha Lakes: In May 1966, the Kawartha Lakes Man- agement Unit started a three year trap-netting project in Rice Lake. The purpose of this study is to estimate the number of fish in the lake and determine growth rates, mortality and environmental factors affecting the fish popu- lation. The ultimate objective is to manage the fish popu- lations and environment to provide the best possible return to the angler.
Also, in 1%6, walleye were transferred from the Talbot River to augment the walleye in Canal Lake which are subject to potential winter kill each year as a result of a drawdown of the water levels.
(b) Lake Simcoe: In the fall of 1964, a management unit '.vith headquarters at Sibbald Point Provincial Park, was set up to study and manage the fishery of Lake Simcoe. The main emphasis during 1966 was placed on summer and
inter creel census. A new approach was taken to the open . ater creel census for Lake Simcoe. It was designed to sample specific areas for yellow perch, northern pike, lake trout and bass and to do so during the period of year when anglers could be expected to be present in large numbers. The winter fishing season of 1966-'67 was estimated at 70 days. The ice conditions were poor in January and early February, thereby shortening the overall fishing season. The total catch per unit effort decreased slightly from 1965, with lake trout and whitefish showing the greatest declines.
(c) Lake of the Woods: During the summer of 1966, the final year of the proposed five-year Lake of the Woods study, the eastern sector including Sabaskong and Whitefish Bay was investigated.
Field work extended from May 22 to October 21, 1966. Trap- net catches in the spring provided 582 walleyes, 10 lake trout, six whitefish and five maskinonge for tagging. By January 1, 1967, 23 walleyes, one lake trout and one maski- nonge tags had been returned; all of these by anglers. A parasitological study of the fishes of this sector was con- ducted with the cooperation of the Research Branch. Future work on the lake will involve a quantitative creel census, depth and benthos stations for the portion of the lake in the Fort Frances District, spawning studies for some of the major species and the collection of aquatic vegetation from Lake of the Woods.
(d) Lake Temagami: In the spring of 1966, Lake Temagami was set up as a separate Fish Management Unit under the direction of a biologist, assisted by a fisheries management technician.
The major activities during 1966 included a creel census of summer angling. Results showed that 2,965 anglers fished 12,658 man-hours for a catch of 1,425 fish, or a return of about 0.11 fish per hour spent angling. Also started in 1965 was a follow-up to determine the suc- cess of stocking lake trout yearlings. Fin clipped lake trout have been planted since 1961, with different fins being removed prior to planting each year. The earlier plantings are now expected to begin showing up in the angler's creel. Gill netting and limnological work also formed an integral part of the studies carried out by the Unit during its first year of operation.
(e) Rainy Lake: This Unit, consisting of one biologist and one summer student, was established in 1965 to study the fishery resources of Rainy Lake, to investigate the reports of declining angling success and to provide data upon which management could be based.
The work program was interrupted briefly in the spring of 1966 due to a change of the biologist in charge, however by late June the Unit was once again operational under the direction of a new biologist. The 1966 operation was devoted to distribution, age and growth studies of walleye and white- fish, and was concentrated on the north arm of Rainy Lake.
(f) Georgian Bay: A long term study initiated in 1%2 to gather knowledge of the walleye of the Pointe au Baril area of Georgian Bay was continued in 1966. There were an addi- tional 491 walleyes tagged during the spring and summer netting periods. Tag recoveries in 1966 numbered 846; of these, 753 were taken in Department nets, 76 returned by anglers, 13 received from commercial fishermen, and four recovered from dead fish.
Movements of fish support the belief that the Shawanaga Basin contains a relatively discrete population of walleyes and that there is no apparent spawning migration from commercial fishing grounds to the Shawanaga Basin during the spring.
PUBLIC FISHING AREAS
With increasing urbanization in southern Ontario and the need for more recreational areas, the Department has estab- lished four pilot public fishing areas — at Mount Pleasant, at the St. Williams Forestry Station, at Normandale and on the Jackson Forest Tract near St. Williams. The ponds on these areas are stocked periodically with catchable-size fish throughout the fishing season, and are open to public fishing free of charge. The most popular site has been the Mount Pleasant Public Fishing Area. In its second year of successful operation in 1966, more than 28,500 anglers visited the site during the 20-week trout fish- ing season. These fishermen spent a total of 86,164 angler- hours to catch 26,173 trout, of which 10,488 were rainbow trout and 15,685 were brook trout.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
(a) Talbot River Walleye: The spawning run of walleye in the Talbot River has increased over the years. Since it is the only spawning area in Lake Simcoe now known to be used by walleye, it is of vital importance. This river is a part of the water-control system of the Trent Canal and is subject to water fluctuations which in recent years have been great. The river is a main source of spawn for the Department's walleye hatchery stock.
Arrangements were made in 1966 with the Department of Transport to maintain water flow during April and May, giv- ing the walleye every possible opportunity to spawn and reproduce successfully.
(b) Mississagi Walleye Study: 1966 marked the final year of work in a study initiated in 1961 to determine the relative effects of angling and commercial fishing on the walleye population.
The angling success as earlier predicted showed a marked improvement in 1966. This improved fishing can be credited to two strong year classes that resulted from spawning in 1962 and 1963, and appeared in the fishery as three and four-year-old walleye. The results of this study indicated that commercial fishing has only a minor effect on angling success in comparison with the major effect of natural fluctuations in spawning success. There appears to be no reason to greatly restrict commercial fishing for walleye under present conditions.
(c) Bark Lake: A 10-year project initiated in 1965 is aimed at establishing whether extensive winter hydro drawdown of Bark Lake water is affecting the natural reproduction of the lake trout population. During the summer of 1966, a simul- taneous intensive creel census was carried out on Bark and Aylen Lakes. Aylen Lake is similar in nature to Bark Lake but not subject to water drawdown, and the census there will act as a "control". During the latter years of this pro- gram, the use of such a "control" lake to discount natural angling fluctuations may assist in pointing up the precise influence of the hydro dam on the Bark Lake lake trout population.
(d) Water Quality Tests: Water samples from specific lakes are collected annually by field personnel and forwarded to the Ontario Water Resources Commission laboratories for analysis of total alkalinity, total dissolved solids and tur- bidity. Tests were carried out on 753 water samples in 1966 as part of the lake survey program.
The detection of pollution is another aspect of the water sampling carried on by the Department's field staff. When the presence of deleterious substances is suspected, water samples are taken and forwarded to the Ontario Water Resources Commission for analysis. In 1966, 87 such samples were analysed.
(e) Lake Reclamation — Lemke Lake: The reclamation of Lemke Lake, situated in Alice Township six miles from downtown Pembroke, was carried out jointly by the Depart- ment and the Pembroke Outdoor Sportsman's Club in May. 1966. In mid-June, brook trout were stocked and exceptional fishing has been experienced since.
(f) Lake Superior: Amendments to the Ontario Fishery Regu- lations and regulations made under the Game and Fish Act prohibited angling for lake trout in Lake Superior, except under the authority of a lake trout angling licence, issued free of charge and valid for a period of 30 days. The licensee was required to complete and return a creel census card attached to the licence within 15 days after the expiry of the licence.
The returns for 1966 show a decided increase in the number of lake trout harvested by a larger number of licensees. A total of 2,515 licences were issued and 1,561 lake trout were caught by anglers in 1966. compared to 858 licences issued and 124 lake trout caught in 1965.
(g) Commercial Fishing - Angling Conflicts: The policy of providing the maximum economic and social return from the fishery resources, causes, at times, some conflict be- tween sports and commercial fisheries. The Department aims to make use of the resources, sometimes by sports fisheries, and in some locations and for some species by commercial fisheries, but preferably by both. Complaints that sports fishing has been affected by the presence of commercial fishing are being investigated in several areas. A three-year investigation of the fishery in Sturgeon Lake, in the Sioux Lookout District, has begun in order to develop management ensuring the maintenance of quality angling as well as the utilization of commercial species not otherwise being harvested. The question of the affect of a commercial fishery during the spawning season on the strength of year classes of walleye in Georgian Bay, is under investigation. A similar investigation has just been completed in the North Channel.
On Lake of the Woods and Rainy Lake, similar conflict exists between the two fishing interests. Fisheries Management Units on these lakes have been directing their attentions to the solutions of the problems to provide for the most compatible utilization of the fishery resource.
LICENCES
Gross revenue from the sale of angling licences in Ontario is approaching three million dollars. Total sales in 1966 amounted to $2,971,295. Sales of all licences, including non- resident seasonal, non-resident three-day, non-resident organized camp, resident Provincial Park and resident Pro- vincial Park organized camp, showed an increase. Sales of non-resident three-day licence cdlitinued to rise from 69,401 in 1963 to 151,373 in 1966. The increase in revenue from total licence sales this year was $124,178 or 4.3%, and constitutes one of the more substantial increases in recent years.
ANGLING REGULATIONS AND SUMMARY
Gradual consolidation of angling regulations were made in 1965 and 1966. Changes in angling zones were accomplis'- ^ over the two-year period to simplify seasons sufficientl. that they could be illustrated on a map. In 1965, the Ang Summary was doubled in size from previous years, including more information for the sportsman. In 1966, the summary was doubled again in size and maps of the Province showing angling zones were included. For the first time anglers were able to clearly understand angling-season-areas formerly summarized only in print.
NET SECTION
The two Net Section staffs based at Port Arthur and Maple assisted District personnel in fisheries management work throughout 1966. Impounding gear (trap, pound and hoop nets) were provided and maintained for fisheries investi- gational work and spawn-taking operations. On some of the larger projects, net section personnel actively assisted district staff in the field work involved. In addition, the use- fulness of impounding gear for commercial fishing was demonstrated by net section specialists. FISH HATCHERIES
The production and planting of hatchery reared fish is an important part of the fisheries management program in Ontario. Some 17 hatcheries were operated in 13 districts during 1966. Fish species cultured include brook, rainbow, aurora and lake trout, hybrid splake, kokanee, whitefish, lake herring, maskinonge, walleye, largemouth and smallmouth bass.
Fish culture in Ontario has evolved from a practical art into an accurate science. The maintenance of records combined with knowledge and experience has enabled our personnel to predict such detailed information as weight gains over a period of time from food calorie content. Though many prob- lems of diet and disease control remain unsolved, there is every indication that the rearing of fish can and will become a far more efficient operation. To realize the benefits of modern fish culture, it is necessary not only to up-date our rearing facilities but also to encourage and promote the technical training of hatchery staff.
One Federal and 15 Departmental employees were trained this year at a fisheries management course held at the University of Guelph. Fish culture and techniques form much of the basis of this course in fisheries management. Limited use was made of the Little Current hatchery during 1966. Its closure was planned to coincide with a regrouping of fish hatchery facilities on Manitoulin Island at the Sand- field station. The North Bay Trout Rearing station was closed in 1966 for a total renovation of hatchery and rearing facilities.
A new and modern hatchery building was completed at the Normandale Trout Rearing station. Included were the instal- lation of tray-type incubators, reinforced plastic rearing troughs and a heat exchanger system for controlling the temperature of water supplied to the incubators. Pre-engineering and planning were carried out for the addi- tion of six large earthen ponds at the Chatsworth station. These ponds will be used in the production of the hybrid splake. Present plans provide for an annual production of 500,000 yearling splake from this station for the rehabilita- tion of Lake Huron.
Planning and pre-engineering work was initiated in connec- tion with the development of the Thayer property at Sault Ste. Marie for the construction of an experimental station and a school of fish culture.
One policy was established prior to the end of the 1966-1967 fiscal year to mark, by fin clipping or tagging, all hatchery fish. Fish planted in the spring of 1967 were marked with the removal of the right pectoral fin. The primary aim of this procedure is to facilitate the assessment of hatchery plantings.
Concurrent with the importance of assessing the returns of hatchery fish to the angler is a cost analysis of our fish hatchery production figures. Example:

Mean food cost to produce one pound of fish at this station was $0.39. The total cost to produce one pound of fish, in- cluding all of the above species, was $1.39. Production from this station for the year 1966-1967 totalled 45,993 pounds or 1,323,541 fish including fingerlings and yearlings of four species.
The use of plastic bags in the transfer of hatchery fish was first used as a management technique in 1966 by the Sault Ste. Marie District. In 1965, the district's inland brook trout plantings required 65 hours of Otter aircraft flying time. In 1966, similar numbers were distributed in lli'2 hours, thus realizing a substantial saving. Promotion of the technique within the Department has stimulated several other Dis- tricts to attempt its implementation in their fish planting procedures.
During the past fiscal year, the first of the genetically selec- ted hybrid splake were set aside for potential brood stock at Codrington Trout Rearing Station. These fish will ulti- mately be transferred for culture to the Chatsworth Trout Rearing Station.
In line with the long term rehabilitation of the lower Great Lakes, kokanee egg stocks were imported into Ontario. Two and a half million walleye eyed-eggs were exchanged for kokanee eggs from Montana and Colorado. Two million brook trout eyed eggs were also exchanged with British Columbia for an additional lot of kokanee eggs. Although small and premature (two years of age), the first spawning runs of kokanee were seen in the waters of Lake Huron and Ontario in the fall of 1966.
Lake trout eggs were also received on an exchange basis from Clearwater Lake (Atikemeg). Manitoba provided Ontario with 200,000 lake trout eyed eggs in exchange for 100,000 brook trout eyed eggs and 50,000 maskinonge fry supplied by Dorion and Deer Lake hatcheries respectively. The distribution of hatchery fish to Ontario waters for public use during the fiscal year 1966-1967 is outlined in Table 23. This year, approximately 47,032,557 fish of all species were cultured for current or future plantings, primarily for the sport fishery. For the distribution of hatchery reared fish, tabulated by species, for the years 1962 through 1966 see Table 24.
A number of agencies were provided with approximately 212,000 fish, ranging from green eggs to yearlings, for research and educational purposes. Such agencies include the Fisheries Research Board of Canada; the University of Toronto; the University of Western Ontario; the University of Guelph; McMaster University and the Department of Lands and Forests Research Branch. Programs conducted by these agencies, and for which hatchery fish were used, include the sea lamprey control program; lethal temperature studies; light as it affects the spawning cycle; experimental research in embryology, morphology, metabolism, parasitology, and pathology; and long term studies in population dynamics, fish culture tech- niques and planting methods as they affect the return of hatchery fish to the angler.
The Dorion and Tarentorus Trout Rearing Stations again met Ontario's commitment of yearling lake trout for Lake Superior as the Province's part of the International re- habilitation program. Those fish from Tarentorus (Sault Ste. Marie) station were planted between Corbeil Point and Goulais Bay (100,000), and from Otter Head to the Michi- picoten River (125,000). Dorion (Port Arthur) fish were planted in Jackfish Bay (75,000), Nipigon Bay (75,000) and between Magnet Point and Fluor Island (75,000). HATCHERIES (PRIVATE)
In 1966, 30 private fish hatcheries were licenced to sell fish for restocking, and 32 to sell for human consumption. Ontario regulates private fish hatcheries in order to control the distribution of fish within the natural watersheds and to prevent the sale and movement of diseased fish. The primary species dealt with were brook and rainbow trout, largemouth and smallmouth bass.
A group of private hatchery operators formed the Canadian Fish Farmers Association in 1966, the first Canadian group of its kind.

Rainbow Trout
A policy has been established in Ontario to limit the im- portation of fish and spawn in order to control the spread of parasites, diseases, and undesirable species. However, a limited number of permits were issued in 1966 for the importation of fall-spawning rainbow trout eggs. The source of the eggs in the western United States was designated because the hatchery has no record of disease organisms that have not yet appeared in Ontario. The sole reason for allowing this import was because there were inadequate stocks of fall-spawning rainbow trout in Ontario. For the distribution of fish raised by private hatcheries for restock- ing purposes in 1966 see Table 25.
Commercial Fish
This Unit is responsible for the issuance of commercial fishing licences as well as accounting for licence fees; col- lection and compilation of statistics of the catch; initiating and directing programs for monitoring of fish stocks through sampling systems; establishment of seasons, quotas and conditions for fishing; development of programs to assist the industry in catching, processing, handling and marketing fishes. LICENCING
Licencing practices and policies applying to commercial fisheries are continuously being reviewed and revised in light of information on current biologic and economic con- ditions. In July of 1966, a policy statement respecting the licensing of fisheries on Lake Huron was announced. It

provided for the expansion of existing fisheries; the elimina- tion of licences under which the fishing privileges were not being exercised; and the restriction of entry into the fishery through new licensing. Previous provisions for transferring a fishery and for experimental fishing were retained. The objective was to strengthen the fishery resource man- agement program through which the active Lake Huron- Georgian Bay fishermen would have a better opportunity to attain a level of income comparable to that enjoyed by those employed in other industries in the community. At the same time, the objectives of allowing full and multiple resource use while ensuring continuing optimum yields continued as the basic frame of reference. ORGANIZATION CHANGES
The Commercial Fish Unit was enlarged in 1966 by the addi- tion of a classification for a third biologist. The position was filled in 1967. The new position will allow attention to be directed more fully to the program of data collection from commercial catches and more reliable quota decisions. The use of quotas as a means of fixing the commercial harvest to an optimum level is increasing. Information obtained by examining the species, size and age composition of com- mercial catches of fish will aid in setting quotas. It also provides a basis for other management decisions. FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS Instruction in modern fishing techniques and in the proper care of fish was provided Indians in Northern Ontario under the Federal-Provincial Resources Development Agreement
in 1966. Maintenance and repair of nets and their efficient use was demonstrated, along with the recommended methods of icing and packing fish products. The work is expected to raise the level of efficiency of operation, and to increase the quality and the value of the fish. The aim is to help commercial fishermen in northern communities achieve a better living from the resource. At Lake of the Woods, personnel from the Regional Net Section at Port Arthur demonstrated trap nets for a third season. Commercial fishermen, who have traditionally used gill nets, were acquainted with the design and use of this type of impounding net. At the same time, its feasibility for use in Lake of the Woods was tested further. Many fisher- men were impressed with the effectiveness of the trap net and some acknowledged their intention of converting their present fisheries to this form of gear. The increasing use of trap nets in lieu of gill nets is expected to have a bene- ficial effect on relations between the various interests who depend on the fishery to provide either profit or recreation. Competition for space or for particular species can be materially reduced where trap nets can be employed. Initial steps were taken to develop programs for exploratory trawling in Lake Huron, and for the granting of technical and financial assistance in pilot studies carried out by the fishing industry in areas of fish transport and processing. The decision to expand projects in these fields was based upon the need to encourage the establishment of markets for abundant but, presently, little used species in Ontario waters, and to develop modern fisheries by which these fish can be taken efficiently and profitably. In 1966, the Department maintained a bait fish market intel- ligence service in southern Ontario through which informa- tion on supplies was collected from wholesalers of bait and conveyed to dealers looking for expanded or new sources of supply. The wholesaling side of the bait fish industry has developed significantly in recent years and may be credited with a major portion of the $1.3 million in sales recorded in 1966. Wholesaling enterprises, with their greater capitaliz- ation in catching and holding equipment and facilities, have contributed materially to much needed continuity in bait fish supplies. They had not been fully effective in making fish available because of lack of contact with the widespread retail outlets. The market intelligence service has success- fully eliminated much of this problem by introducing the wholesalers to dealers.
A bait fish workshop, which afforded persons in the industry an opportunity of obtaining technical advice from fish cul- turists and biologists, was conducted. Instruction was given in capturing techniques, handling procedures, holding and transportation methods and disease treatment. In addition, the fundamentals of culturing bait fish were discussed. Further advice and assistance was provided by an experi- enced fish culturist who visited sites of operation, inspected facilities and examined fish for disease at intervals during the season.
REGULATIONS
Regulations requiring the holder of a commercial fishing licence to report his fishing activity each month were amended in 1966. Reports were required to be submitted to field offices instead of Fish and Wildlife Branch seven days earlier, on the 8th of each month. After preliminary check- ing, the reports are forwarded to the Commercial Fish Unit for coding and data processing. As a result of these changes, information needed for the administration of quotas and for other management purposes became available to Depart- mental personnel at an earlier date, and reliability was increased. Unnecessary delay in the preparation of tabula- tions and summaries of fishing statistics was removed. Monofilament gill nets, which have been found to be more efficient than nets constructed with woven nylon fibres, were
banned from Lake Ontario at the request of the Eastern Lake Ontario Commercial Fishermen's Association. In this instance, the fears of the fishermen that the gear would be too efficient in their whitefish fishery was the basis for the action.
Development and expansion of the bait-fish industry led to a change in licensing regulations and a resultant fee in- crease in 1966. For the first time, all bait-fish fishermen were required to obtain a bait-fish dealer's licence before live bait fish, taken under the authority of a seine net, dip net or trap licence, were sold. As a result of this change, the number of dealer's licences more than doubled over the previous year. The regulations with respect to the use of dip nets to take coarse fish for personal use were amended for 1965, allow- ing holders of the licence to harvest whitefish or herring in October, November or December from waters designated in the licence. This permission is not granted for waters in which commercial fishing for whitefish is carried out. The Department did not introduce regulations to restrict taking of kokanee. This new introduction into parts of Lake Huron and Lake Ontario began to show evidence during the year of successful survival from plantings made two years earlier. It was considered essential to obtain maximum in- formation about this exotic species before inaugurating any restrictions on its capture.
PROJECTS
Measurements and scale samples were obtained from several thousand walleye and whitefish taken in commercial nets, following the implementation of commercial catch in- spections by the Fish and Wildlife staff on Lakes Erie, St. Clair and Huron. Information concerning the abundance, growth, mortality and reproduction of fishes thus obtained has value in determining proper management measures. It is planned that this program will be further developed on these lakes and extended to other major commercial fisheries.
Attention was focused during the year to solution of prob- lems in the marketing of Ontario fish and fish products. A special study was conducted on the subject of benefits to the industry arising from a proposed licensing of fish dealers in Ontario. Staff worked on an inter-provincial committee considering details of a fish marketing organization as pro- posed by the Royal Commission on Freshwater Fish Market- ing, and the subject was brought before the fishery. In Lake Erie, the Prices Support Board began a one-year price sup- port program placing a floor price of 10 cents per pound on yellow perch. The program was later extended to include all Ontario produced yellow perch. THE COMMERCIAL FISHERY
The fishery produced over 56 million pounds of fish in 1966, worth nearly six million dollars to the primary producers. Total capital in the fishery was valued at over 10 million dollars. As a result of Departmental policies, the total num- ber of fisheries continued to decline, with the number of licences down to 1,822 from 1,881 in 1965. Reduction in the number of fishing enterprises along with increased catch resulted in a slight increase in the average earning per fishing unit.
Fisheries Inventory
This Unit is responsible for the development of an efficient inventory of the waters of the Province; for coordinating and enlarging the province-wide lake and stream survey pro- grams; for establishing data retrieval and analysis systems for the use of inventory information for management pur- poses, and for the dissemination to the public and other agencies. PROJECTS
it was possible to accomplish much in the way of planning during the short period the Unit was functional in the 1966- 1967 fiscal year. The groundwork was laid for a data process- ing system to handle data from over 3,000 lakes which have
been surveyed to date. A start was made on standardizing lake survey techniques and equipment. The Unit also began preliminary work for the rating of sport fishing lakes under the A.R.D.A. C.L.I, program. The sport fish capability classifi- cation of lakes embraces all lakes in the A.R.D.A. areas, involving 14 of the 22 administrative Districts. Proposals for making lake maps and survey information available to the general public was investigated, and preliminary plans made for the drafting of suitable material.
A lake sun/ey manual was prepared for use by the field staff, outlining minimal requirements for lake surveys and bringing up-to-date the methods by which biological, chemi- cal, and physical information should be obtained and recorded. The testing of the manual by field parties for effective use in the field was followed by evaluations after the field season was complete.
Three teams of two sudent biologists each were assigned to lake survey work in the Lindsay, Sault Ste. Marie and Port Arthur Districts to augment the programs already estab- lished by the field staffs. These teams were able to survey an additional 38 lakes during a four-month field season.
Indian Resource Development
This Unit is responsible for the administration and coordina- tion of the Federal-Provincial Resources Development agree- ment; development of programs for Indian-use of the resources; liaison between Indians, Indian Affairs Branch and the Department.
The Federal-Provincial Resources Development Agreement between the Department of Lands and Forests and the Indian Affairs Branch became effective April 1st, 1962. The agreement is designed to improve the livelihood of persons resident in the remote underdeveloped areas of Ontario, most of whom are Indian, and to develop and manage the renewable natural resources on which these residents depend for all or a substantial part of their livelihood.

NURSERY SOIL MANAGEMENT
The objective is to maintain the balance of main nutrients in the soil for production of top quality seedlings for plant- ing in Ontario. For this purpose, 398 soil samples and 378 plant samples, consisting of approximately 15,000 seedlings, were analyzed for a chemical composition of soil and plant. The analysis data are used for an evaluation of soil and plant condition as well as in the preparation of soil amend- ments for production of high quality stock. Various herbicides and soil fumigants are being tested and successfully used in reduction of disease, control of weeds, increase of seed germination and seedling growth. Studies are carried out in optimum fertilizer levels, the relationship of fertilizer and stock density to growth and the use of irrigation water.
Nursery diseases, seedling nutrition and nursery soil fer- tility studies are undertaken on a co-operative basis with the Department of Forestry and Rural Development. SEED COLLECTION
The inventory of forest tree seed in storage at the Ontario Tree Seed Plant at Angus, as of June 1, 1966, was about 1,693,000,000 viable seeds of 46 species, weighing 339,765 ounces or more than 10.5 tons and valued at approximately $240,000.00.
The 1966 crop year was a good one for the pines but a poor one for the spruces.

TREE IMPROVEMENT
The tree improvement program, concerned with increasing the quality and quantity of seed available, was continued through the selection of additional "plus trees", the develop- ment of seed production areas and the planting of grafted trees in seed orchards. During the year, 8,140 scions were collected from "plus" trees for grafting at four co-operating nurseries. In addition, 1,000 scions from white pine trees showing resistance to blister rust were grafted. A total of 10.1 acres of seed production area were thinned, released or otherwise improved for seed production purposes. Some 2,863 grafted trees for seed orchards were planted on 21.8 acres. Provenance tests in jack pine were established on 20 acres in six Districts in co-operation with the Department of Forestry and Rural Development.

TREES CONSERVATION
Under authority of The Trees Act, and with the approval of the Minister of Lands and Forests, counties or municipali- ties in territorial districts may pass by-laws to restrict and regulate the destruction of trees by cutting, burning or other means.
Such by-laws have been passed by the following to permit the cutting of important species to certain diameter limits, and indicates the concern felt by those municipalities for the management of privately owned woodlands. Counties:
Brant, Bruce, Dufferin, Elgin, Grey, Haldimand, Halton, Hastings, Huron, Lambton, Leeds & Grenville, Lincoln, Middlesex, Norfolk, Northumberland & Durham, Oxford, Peel, Perth, Renfrew, Waterloo, Welland, Wellington, Wentworth. Township: Brunei.
Private Land Forestry
This Act authorizes the Minister to enter into forestry agree- ments with private landowners to reforest idle land and to rehabilitate existing woodlands. The field assistance service under The Woodlands Improvement Act is provided free to landowners who qualify under the Act. Under Regulations OC-2854/66 of The Woodlands Improve- ment Act 1966, 33 management areas were designated in southern Ontario. Ten were scheduled to receive benefits under the program effective January 1, 1967. Management Areas designated included single counties or a combination of one or more counties.
Management planning for the designated Management Areas began immediately. Forestry work programs were pre- pared for 164 new Woodlands Improvement Act agreements in the Management Areas scheduled to receive the assist- ance in 1967. In all districts, forestry advice and service were provided to individual forest owners and organizations to improve forestry on private lands.

SILVICULTURE SECTION
Forest Resources Inventory
During the year under review, air photography was com- pleted on 22,412 square miles in northwestern Ontario and 2,830 square miles in southern Ontario. Inventory field work was carried out on 7,683 square miles in the Sault Ste. Marie, Fort Frances and Kenora Districts. Forest stand maps and tabulated inventory data, such as area classification, detailed stand description, volume and area summaries by age-classes, were completed on 13,201 square miles.
The multiplex plotting machine was used to determine con- tour and form lines on three Provincial Parks covering an area of 11,470 acres.
The photo processing unit produced 115,809 contact prints. 2,518 mosaics, 2,573 enlargements. 419 diapositives, 710 copy negatives, and 1.395 cronaflex reproductions. The following table shows the gross value of production from the photo processing unit in recent years:

STAND IMPROVEMENT
Stand improvement encompasses both the treating of forest stands to achieve maximum quality and quantity, and special harvesting techniques to aid natural regeneration. During the fiscal year 1966-1967, 102.658 acres of Crown lands and 5,976 acres of Agreement Forests received treat- ment to improve the quality and quantity of the final crop. SPECIAL PROJECTS
Prison Camps: About 17,000 man-days of labour were pro- vided to this Department by the inmates of the forestry camps operated by the Department of Reform Institutions. The total area covered in this program was 1,300 acres. Beaver Creek Correctional Camp, near Gravenhurst, oper- ated by the Collins Bay Penitentiary, also supplied about 900 man-days of inmate labour.
Junior Rangers: Timber work, includmg tree planting, stand improvement, cone collection and nursery work, occupied 15,000 man-days. The total area covered in this program was 5,400 acres.
TIMBER SECTION
Forest Management Planning
The development of forest areas is based on management plans that provide detailed information about the volume of annual cut, cutting methods, regeneration treatments, road and camp locations, and other facts essential to orderly management. The plans are based on such considerations as the arrangement of species and age-classes on produc- tive forest lands, the proximity to existing road networks, division of the forest into compartments, and the age of maturity of the main groups of species. Standard management plans are based on inventory data gathered using photo interpretation, point sampling, and computer compilation methods. The information is entered in stand ledgers, which also serve as a record of changes. Standard plans have been prepared following the re- inventory of Crown management units started in 1958. The essentials of this type of planning are contained in the Manual of Management Plan Requirements. The initial management plans, based on the inventory method used prior to 1958, are retained until replaced with standard plans, and form the basis for the management of a large proportion of the Crown management units in the Province.
Management plans form a framework into which 10-year operating plans are fitted. An operating plan shows in detail the stands to be cut, regenerated, and tended, the roads to be built, and other improvements to be made to carry out operations on the management units. The status of management plans is as follows:
5,001.5 sq. mi. 13,463.2 sq. mi. 67,043.5 sq. mi.
5,001.8 sq. mi.
155.0 sq. mi.
64,199.5 sq. mi.
4,530.9 sq. mi. 25,730.7 sq. mi,
4,881.8 sq. mi.
Table 19
1. Crown Management Units: The plans for these units are prepared by Department staff. There are 78 Crown man- agement units covering 90,665.0 square miles with 70 management plans:
9 standard management plans in force 13 plans being processed for approval 48 initial management plans in force
7 management units not under plans
1 unit operating under approved operating plan
2. Company Management Units: The management plans for Company management units are prepared by licensees. There are 66 Company units with 99,342.9 square miles under licence to 45 companies. The status of management planning for these units is as follows: 43 approved management plans
9 plans being processed for approval 12 plans not yet due
2 units inactive The explanation for the 12 plans not yet due is that be- cause of changes in area, etc., 12 licensees have been
required to prepare new management plans.
3. Agreement Forest Units: The management plans for these units are prepared by Department staff. There are 60 units covering approximately 329 square miles. The status of management planning for the Agreement Forest units is as follows:
6 approved standard plans 46,336 acres
20 being processed for approval 58,%2 acres
16 plans in the process of preparation 49,696 acres
18 interim or annual plans in force and
land acquired since inventory 55,430 acres
Total — 329 square miles, or 210,424 acres
Scaling
In an effort to adjust the Department's scaling methods to the fast changing techniques of cutting and moving wood from stump to mill, extensive trials were conducted with the new concepts of wood measurement, designed to speed up and simplify scaling operations while retaining control over movement of wood.
The most promising wood measuring methods in this respect to date are; tree length scaling, weight scaling, and sample scaling. In addition, some preliminary work was done in connection with the development of a simple log grading technique for hardwoods and pine, where an estimate of quality for timber cut and scaled is of a particu- lar value to all concerned.
The need for speeding up scaling and, returning of scaled wood has been recognized by the Department for some time. This has become more apparent in view of rapidly changing bush operations, resulting in much faster move- ment of wood. In recognition of these changes and in an effort to improve efficiency of scaling, an operational trial was conducted in one District with the adaptation of scaling to the computer programming systems. Since the results from this full scale operation were quite satisfactory, further trials, on a larger scale, will be conducted next fiscal year. Scaling examinations were held during the past year at the following locations on the dates noted: Ontario Forest Tech- nical School, Dorset, April 7, 1966; Huntsville, May 20, 1966; and Sault Ste. Marie, Sept. 23, 1966.
A total of 253 licences were issued, a lower figure than previous years due to the fact that a 1965 change in regu- lations provided for renewal on a three-year basis.
Marketing and Forest Economics
Ontario's forest industries occupy an extremely important position in relation to the total economy of the Province. According to 1964 D.B.S. information, this industry group accounts directly for 66,000 jobs, pays $317 million in sal- aries and wages, ships goods worth nearly $1.3 billion and has a value added in manufacturing of more than $621 million. This represents 9.2% of the total number of em- ployees in the Province, 8.7% of the total salaries and wages paid, 8.1% of the value of all goods shipped, and 8.3% of the total value added bv manufacture. It also repre- sents a contribution of about $120 to the Gross Provincial Product for each 100 cubic feet of wood used. Forest industry expansions which have already taken place put Ontario in a good position to take advantage of the expected increases in world demand for forest products in the early 1970's. However, softness in the world pulp markets due to excess capacity and cut-backs in house construction i resulted in no appreciable gains for 1966. Large scale forest industry development projects usually require two or three years lead time and, in spite of short term market difficulties, there has been considerable interest in new pulp industries and further expansions of existing facilities in Ontario.
Licencing of Mills: The number of mills licenced under the Crown Timber Act in 1966 totalled 944 as compared to 964 in the previous year. Sawmills continued their long term downward trend, with the greatest change occurring in mills of low capacity.
Table 20
Sawmills:
Daily lumber capacity over 50 M f.b.m. 25

Daily lumber capacity under 10 M f.b.m. 655
Miscellaneous sawn products 97

Sale of Timber
The volume and value of wood cut from Crown lands during 1965-1966 was almost identical with the year previous. How- ever, there was an increase in the consumption of wood chips produced as a by-product of sawmilling operations of 44,617 cords. This brings the cord equivalent of chips pro- duced by sawmills to more than 438,000 cords in 1966, or enough wood to supply the full requirements of a large sized pulp mill. Pulpwood and boltwood purchased from patented lands was down by nearly 150,000 cords during 1966.

OPERATIONS BRANCH
The objectives of the Operations Branch are to promote public understanding of Department activities and purposes; to encourage good safety practices in forest work and recre- ational activities; and to effect efficiency in purchasing and other services for the Department. The branch is divided into six sections — Office Management, Purchasing, Central Supply Warehouse, Conservation Information, Conservation Education and Accident Control.
The following is a brief summary of Operations Branch activity during the past fiscal year.
OFFICE MANAGEMENT
Inventory of major equipment belonging to the Department was conducted. Departmental circulars and bulletins were processed and distributed. Communication with the federal Department of Transport for licensing Department boats was maintained. Records of Crown lands were kept.
PURCHASING
Supplies were stored in quantities based on consumption rates and shipped upon requisition. Requirements of all 10 Branches were either supplied from warehouse stock or purchased directly.
CENTRAL SUPPLY WAREHOUSE
Supplies and equipment shipped by the Section amounted to 244 tons. Supplies received totalled 348 tons. Forms, reports, booklets, circulars and bulletins were produced, collated and distributed.
Thirty types of hunting, angling, bait fish, roll net, dip net, frog, guide, trapping, trap-line and dog licences were issued to licence issuers and district offices. The number of licences prepared and checked for mailing and express totalled 1,756,000 and were forwarded on 15,233 invoices to more than 3,000 issuers. 168,900 Provincial Park annual vehicle permits, 378,000 daily permits, 304,900 campsite permits and 290.500 fur seals were distributed.
CONSERVATION INFORMATION
The Section worked through many media to disseminate information. A weekly news release, with a mailing list of 3,500, circulated Department news, regulations and informed opinion. News of more than normal urgency was supplied directly to news outlets by press releases. Articles and back- ground material were prepared on request. Speech material for Department personnel was also prepared. The Photograph Library loaned 9,500 black-and-white orints and 1,000 colour transparencies. The library now has 35,000 negatives and 4,700 colour transparencies. During the year, 35,300 answers were returned by mail to persons requesting information.
CONSERVATION EDUCATION
The Section's film library contains 233 titles. Approximately., 1,350 films were loaned to field offices. I
A set of 15 one-minute television shorts entitled "Do you. know?" were made available. Footage for a new nursery film, "Seeds to Trees", was gathered. Visual conservations appeals were featured in the Departs ment's exhibits at shows and fairs. Major exhibits were^ mounted for the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto; Central Canada Exhibition, Ottawa; and the Royal Agricul- tural Winter Fair, Toronto.
Illustrated lectures on all aspects of the Department's work were given. Head office and field staff presented 2,576' lectures to audiences totalling 209,502 during the year.
ACCIDENT CONTROL THE LOGGERS' SAFETY ACT
During 1966, approximately 824 inspections of logging operations were made. Accident Control officers attended 96 meetings having regard to the application of the Act. HUNTER SAFETY TRAINING
In 1966, 19,342 students graduated compared to 17,577 in 1965, making a total of 121,953 graduates since the program began in 1957. Several instructors' workshops were con- ducted.
SAFETY IN PROVINCIAL PARKS
During the months July to September, the Department sponsored a "Water Safety Demonstration" program spon- sored by the Ontario Safety League. The demonstrations were viewed by more than 150,000 persons. WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
Workmen's Compensation costs and the number of claims submitted have increased for the fiscal year The total num- ber of compensable claims was 588, an increase of 21 over that for the previous fiscal year. Total cost of Department claims was $171,315.47, an increase of $26,642.76. Average cost per claim was $159.00, an increase of $41.00 per claim.
PARKS BRANCH
The main objective of the Parks Branch is to reserve areas and establish Provincial Parks that will accommodate exist- ing and anticipated demands of recreational and edu- cational activities usually associated with the natural environment. The Branch is divided into three sections — Recreational Planning, Park Planning and Development, and
I Park Management.
I During the past fiscal year, 92 Provincial Parks were oper- ated, including three new parks — Arrowhead, Ferris and North Beach. Approximately 3Va million acres of Provincial Park land was available for the enjoyment of the public. A further 500,000 acres is designated as reserve for future development as Provincial Parks.
The 1966 season was the most successful operating season in the history of Provincial Parks in Ontario. Visitations in- creased over the previous year by 10 per cent to an all-time high of 9,791,671. Camper use increased by seven per cent, providing some 2,653,035 camper days. A total of 994,787 campers were recorded by permit in 1966. Although park fees remained unchanged, revenue increased some $215,000 to a total of $2,100,000 in 1966.
PARK DEVELOPMENT
Development appropriations were increased to $2,500,000, resulting in an additional 1,000 campsites, 23 comfort stations, 18 trailer dumping stations, eight major water and sewerage systems, and expanded parking area and beach development. This expansion took place in existing Pro- vincial Parks and as part of initial development of four parks to be opened in the 1967-1968 fiscal year period. HUNTING IN PARKS
Public hunting was continued in a number of Provincial Parks in southern Ontario — an area where such grounds are limited and demand is high. Waterfowl hunting under licence was permitted in Presqu'ile, Darlington, Holiday Beach, Long Point and Rondeau. Put and take pheasant hunting was very popular at Presqu'ile, Darlington and Sibbald Point parks this year. Hunting is not permitted in parks except those covered by regulations under The Game and Fish Act.

LA\A/ BRANCH
I i
The objective of the Law Branch is to provide legal counsel and services for the Department, and to maintain services of the Patents Office.
At the Session of the Legislature which convened on the 25th day of January, 1967, and prorogued on the 15th day of June, 1967, amendments were made to five statutes admini- stered by the Department.
The definition of "forestry purposes" in The Forestry Act was amended to provide that the term includes the produc- tion of wood and wood products, provision of proper environ- mental conditions for wildlife, protection against floods and erosion, recreation, and protection and production of water supplies.
The Game and Fish Act, 1961-62, was amended to provide for management agreements with owners of land respecting hunting and fishing rights, habitat improvement work, pro- tective measures, stocking programs, fencing and erection of signs and other management practices. On registration such agreements are binding upon subsequent owners. The Public Lands Act was amended to provide for agree- ments with owners of land respecting the erection, mainten- ance, and operation thereon of a public work within the meaning of The Public Works Act and to provide that, upon registration, such agreements are binding upon subsequent owners.
The Surveys Act was amended to authorize regulations establishing, governing and regulating systems of co- ordinate surveys.
The definition of "forestry purposes" in The Trees Act was amended in the same manner as the definition in The Forestry Act.
ACCOUNTS BF^AIMCH
The main objectives of the Accounts Branch are to provide a complete financial management service to the Depart- ment, and to maintain a system of property taxation in unorganized areas of the Province.
During the year ended March 31, 1967, cash receipts of the Department totalled $27,417,794.21. This represents an in-
crease of $1,081,439.41 over the previous year. Total cash disbursements amounted to $42,212,898.28, representing an excess of $14,795,104.07.
The increase in disbursements is accounted for by the expanding program in land acquisition and development, and the overall increase in operating costs.

RESEARCH BRAIMCH
The objective of the Research Branch is to provide manage- iment with useful, tested information on fishery, forest and iwildlife resources, and to develop management techniques. 'The Branch is divided into' four sections — Fisheries, I Forestry, Wildlife and Mechanical.
The following is a brief review of Research Branch activity
during the past fiscal year.
FISHERIES
GREAT LAKES PROGRAM
Lake Ontario: In 1966, studies designed to understand factors limiting the survival of juvenile whitefish were initiated in the laboratory. Lake trout (in co-operation with New York State), walleye and American eel projects were continued. An attempt to establish kokanee — a land-locked variety of sockeye salmon — as a new species for both com- mercial and recreational fishery is being made. Lake Erie: Smelt and yellow perch have become the princi- pal species of importance to commercial fishermen in Lake Erie. Most of the research was on reproduction, distribution and food of these two species.
Lake Huron: The present emphasis of research in Lake Huron is on whitefish, and the principal concern is the wide variation in the year class success which causes fluctua- tions of abundance from year to year.
GAME FISH
The Harkness Laboratory was operated again in 1966 and, in addition to the continued analysis of long-accumulated creel census data, projects included experimental plantings, population dynamics, lake trout biology, and plankton feed- ing versus fish feeding lake trout.
FORESTRY SILVICULTURE
Northwestern Ontario: In 1966, the field program was domi- nated by re-examination work on a large number of long- term regeneration and stand development plots accordmg to their five-year re-measurement schedule. Another import- ant development was the establishment of a program of research for black spruce — a species which had not re- ceived sufficient research attention in the past.
Central Ontario: Since the start of work in this region in 1959, concentration has been on laboratory and field studies of problems of tree nutrition, particularly in spruce species, and studies of the productivity, ecology and racial variation of red spruce.
South-Central Ontario: The forester in charge of research work in the region was occupied almost exclusively in furthering the large-scale planting operations of tubed seed- lings by the Timber Branch. In the late spring and summer of 1966, a number of tubed seedling production sites in the districts were visited with oarticular reference to overcom- ing problems which had arisen in germinating seed and in growing seedlings.
Southwestern Ontario: Research in this region aims to suggest good forest management practices on stands most of which are in private ownership and have become derelict. Particular attention was given in 1966 to the propagation and cultural treatment of silver maple and eastern Cottonwood, largely to replace the heavy mortality in elm from the Dutch elm disease.
Southeastern Ontario: Research in this region has been primarily concerned with the ecology of the tolerant hard- wood association, especially the treatment of cutover stands to improve quality. The principal projects are prescribed burning and the silvics of basswood. The objective of the prescribed burning project is to determine the effects of fire in hardwood stands to improve regeneration.
REFORESTATION
Nursery and planting: The objective of this program is the procurement of information, through research, for the scientific advancement of the reforestation program of the Department. The work was initiated in 1953, and the chief areas of attention are nursery operations, handling of ship- ping stock, planting methods, frost damage to plantations, and fertilization.
TREE BREEDING
The aim of forest tree breeding is to supply seed and plant materials that, from a genetic standpoint, are best suited for the purposes of artificial forest regeneration. These studies were initiated in 1946 and are comprised principally of white pine and poplar projects.
01
SITE
The objective of the site research program is to determine the productivity of land. Consequently, work has been directed toward obtaining knowledge pertaining to the relationships between soils, climates, and crops, and to organize this information into a classification system adapt- able to various types of management with the forest being the major crop considered.
WILDLIFE
Wildlife research has been directed toward the furthering of our knowledge of economically important birds and mam- mals, and to suggest means by which these could be of greater value to the trapper, hunter, naturalist, and the general public. Research projects have been developed around most of the major species of wildlife which provide sustenance or sport in Ontario.
Close co-operation is maintained between Research person- nel and the staff of the Fish and Wildlife Branch. FURBEARERS
The management of populations of furbearing animals is probably more complex than for other species of wildlife. Essentially, there are two groups of factors influencing the production of fur: socio-economic and biological. To date, ifurbearer research has been chiefly concerned with biologi- cal factors affecting fur production.
Research is continuing on the dynamics of beaver popula- tions and the influence of various factors including trapping pressure.
WILDLIFE DISEASES AND PARASITES Research staff provided a diagnostic service to field staff in conjunction with the continuing survey of diseases and parasites of wildlife. The use by field staff of a recently prepared manual on this subject greatly assisted this project.
UPLAND GAME AND WATERFOWL
Research continued in various species and sub-species of grouse and Canada geese, both in Ontario and elsewhere, with the ultimate objective of discovering whether a biologic tag could be found which could be used at any time of the year to determine the origin and distribution of discrete populations.
BIG GAME
Big game research, which is mostly of an ecological nature, is conducted on deer, moose and woodland caribou. Data were again collected in 1966 from the network of stations established to record snow depth — probably the most severe factor affecting survival and distribution of deer. Major logging activity during the 1850-1910 period resulted in residual stands that were favourable to deer until re- cently. Much of this forest has again become too mature for deer. Research is concentrating on learning to create an ■ optimum balance between deer and timber crops. PREDATORS
During 1966, the wolf predator control program has been directed to training fur-trapping licencees to accept the responsibility for control of their trap lines. Extensive pro- grams of this nature were implemented in the Parry Sound and Pembroke districts. There are tentative plans to carry out similar extension training programs in other districts where it would be considered necessary.
MECHANICAL
The main work of the Section during the year was, as in the past, concerned with the development of special equipment and instruments required for the Research Branch in Fisheries, Forestry and Wildlife. Special equipment was also designed for other Branches of the Department. In addi- tion, the Section provided engineering services to the Department.
TIMBER BRANCH
The main objective of the Timber Branch is to provide through sound forest management the highest possible yields of Crown forests consistent with the economic re- quirements of forest industry and the general welfare of the Province's citizens. The Branch is divided into three sec- tions — Reforestation, Silviculture and Timber. The following is a brief review of Timber Branch activities in the past fiscal year.
iREFORESTATION
TREE PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION
In the year under review, sufficient seed was sown at the 10 forest tree nurseries for the production of 62,933,000 units of planting stock.

AGREEMENT FOREST ADMINISTRATION
A total of $120,954.72 in grants to assist with the acquisition of lands was paid during the year. Canada contributed to Ontario $40,645.26 of the foregoing amount under agreement made between Canada and Ontario pursuant to their respec- tive Agricultural Rehabilitation and Development Acts. PRIVATE LAND FORESTRY
Under The Woodlands Improvement Act 1966, 33 manage- ment areas were designated in southern Ontario. Another 10 were scheduled to receive benefits under the program effective January 1, 1967.
Forestry work programs were prepared for 164 new Wood- lands Improvement Act agreements in the Management Areas scheduled to receive assistance in 1967. In all districts, forestry advice and service were provided individual forest owners and organizations.
SILVICULTURE
FOREST RESOURCES INVENTORY
During the year under review, air photography was com- pleted on 22,412 square miles in northwestern Ontario and 2,830 square miles in southern Ontario. Inventory field work was carried out on 7,683 square miles in the Sault Ste. Marie, Fort Frances and Kenora Districts. Forest stand maps and tabulated inventory data, such as area classification, detailed stand description, volume and area summaries by age-classes, were completed on 13,201 square miles.
The multiplex plotting machine was used to determine con- tour and form lines on three Provincial Parks covering an area of 11,470 acres.
The photo processing unit produced 115.809 contact prints, 2,518 mosaics, 2,573 enlargements, 419 diapositives, 710 copy negatives, and 1.395 cronaflex reproductions. SILVICULTURAL OPERATIONS

FOREST MANAGEMENT PLANNING
The status of management plans is as follows:
1. Crown Management Units: The plans for these units are prepared by Department staff. There are 78 Crown man- agement units covering 90,665.0 square miles with 70 management plans:
9 standard management plans in force 13 plans being processed for approval 48 initial management plans in force
7 management units not under plans
1 unit operating under approved operating plan
2. Company Management Units: The management plans for Company management units are prepared by licensees. There are 66 Company units with 99,342.9 square miles under licence to 45 companies. The status of management planning for these units is as follows:
43 approved management plans 9 plans being processed for approval 12 plans not yet due
2 units inactive
The explanation for the 12 plans not yet due is that be- cause of changes in area, etc., 12 licensees have been
required to prepare new management plans.

Total —329 square miles, or 210,424 acres
MARKETING AND FOREST ECONOMICS
Forest industry expansions which have already taken place put Ontario in a good position to take advantage of the expected increases in world demand for forest products in the early 1970's. However, softness in the world pulp markets due to excess capacity and cut-backs in house construction resulted in no appreciable gains for 1966.
SALE OF TIMBER
The volume and value of wood cut from Crown lands during 1965-1966 was almost identical with the year previous. How- ever, there was an increase in the consumption of wood chips produced as a by-product of sawmilling operations of 44,617 cords. This brings the cord equivalent of chips pro- duced by sawmills to more than 438.000 cords in 1966, or enough wood to supply the full requirements of a large sized pulp mill. Pulpwood and boltwood purchased from patented lands was down by nearly 150,000 cords durinp 1966.

LANDS AIMD SURVEYS BRANCH
The main objectives of the Lands and Surveys Branch are to maintain a rational basis for Crown land retention; to develop, implement and maintain Land Use Plans; and to conduct Crown surveys. The Branch is divided into four sections — Lands, Land Acquisition and Planning, Surveys and Engineering.
The following is a brief review of Research Branch activity during the past fiscal year.
LANDS
The uses for public lands are becoming more diversified and more dependent on and related to other areas of public administration. This has led to increased liaison and co- operation with people concerned with public health, water pollution, roads and land use planning in other Departments of Government.
In collaboration with the Department of Municipal Affairs, two new restricted areas were established during the year and real progress made towards developing several new townsites.
Interest in summer cottage lots continued to increase during the year and sales increased. Increased interest was shown in commercial summer resort properties, water lot occupa- tions and ownership of beach lands.
LAND ACQUISITION AND PLANNING
Subsequent to the announcement of the Land Acquisition program in 1962, this Department has acquired 93,356 acres of land for water access points, district improvements, general recreation (day use), parks, timber management, wilderness areas, nature reserves and wildlife management purposes.
This year. Treasury Board approved 53 proposals covering the acquisition of 71,887.95 acres, and an additional 46 proposals were approved- for the acquisition of 43,329 acres by the Ontario Parks Integration Board. The number of acres acquired this fiscal year amounted to 18,845.71, while almost 66,000 acres in total were considered and subsequently rejected.
SURVEYS CARTOGRAPHY
In pursuit of the objective to produce a total of 21 maps ir a provincial topographic series on a scale 1 inch -^ 2 miles to cover areas in Northern Ontario, map sheets designatec Hornepayne, Calstock, Taradale. Obakamiga Lake, Timmin? and Gogama were printed. Revised editions of one eight mile, one four-mile and three miscellaneous maps were produced, together with the last in a series of four surficiail geology maps. '
Editing of nomenclature on maps produced by federal anci provincial mapping agencies was continued, and more than' 600 new geographical names were recommended to the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for approval. LEGAL SURVEYS
Drafting of area plans, special maps and charts, legal survey plans resulting from departmental field survey activities, graphic illustrations, and redrafting of township plans on a scale 1 inch 20 chains continued. In addition, the loca- tion and extent of all new alienations of Crown land con- tinued to be plotted on township or area plans in order to maintain a graphic illustration of the status of land through- out the Province.
Field surveys for administrative purposes were carried out by field survey crews, operating principally in the northern' part of southern Ontario.
SURVEY RECORDS AND MAP DISTRIBUTION Distribution of the Provincial Topographic Map series more than doubled over the previous year, and an increase occurred in the distribution of map sheets in the National Topographic Map series mainly due to an issue of new and revised sheets in the 1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 scale series. The number of public inquiries requiring a search of original plans and field notes of surveys of Crown lands increased substantially.
ENGINEERING
This section continued to provide management of water resources through approval of dams under The Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act. Special engineering consultation services were also provided for fisheries and waterfowl man- agement projects. ACCESS ROADS
Some 1,850 miles of forest access roads were maintained during the fiscal year, which is an increase of 331 miles over the previous year, and represents an increase of 100 per cent over the total number of miles of road maintained during the fiscal year ending March 31st, 1964.
FISH AND VA/ILDLIFE BRANCH
The objectives of the Fish and Wildlife Branch are to man- age lands and waters to ensure that the maximum recrea- iiional and economic benefits are gained from wildlife and I'ish species, and to permit the full harvest of the annual iiatural increases of fish and game species on a sustained yield basis. The Branch is divided into two sections — Wild- ife and Fisheries.
The following is a brief review of Fish and Wildlife Branch activity during the past fiscal year.

FUR MANAGEMENT
Beaver remains the most important fur-bearer in Ontario. The slight drop in beaver harvest is attributed to a fall in market value. The long hair furs (fisher, fox, lynx, marten, raccoon) dropped considerably in market value. The value of muskrat dropped by 50%.
The mink situation has been a source of concern for the past four years. However, an encouraging increase of popu- lation in the northwestern part of the Province has been recorded. There has been a sharp decline in the mink market. Prices were substantially lower compared to the 1965 crop sales. However, 47 new ranches were established during 1966 and a production increase of 86,502 mink pelts or 18.03%. FIELD SERVICES
A comprehensive training program for conservation officers has been established.
Registered convictions for the fiscal year totalled 2,626, an increase of 279 over the previous year. Offences other than those involving licences include: Fishing:
1. Angling with more than two lines 165
2. Possession of overlimit of fish 156
3. Taking fish by means other than angling
4. Taking fish during closed season
5. Possession of fish during closed season

FISHERIES
Progress in reaching the objectives of fisheries management was marked primarily by minor additions to staff and some; reorganization, as well as redirection of emphasis of various, programs. Perhaps most significant was the addition of ai new Unit in the Fisheries Section to coordinate the lake survey program across the Province — an important part o1 the field program of the Districts but which has been unable to keep up to the necessary demand in recent years. The Unit now consists of a senior biologist, a fisheries manage- ment technician and a clerk. j At the same time, the Commercial Fisheries Unit, through adjustments in staff functions, was able to add a biologist to initiate a program for the development of quota manage- ment and more extensive fish sampling by the field staff. The policy of initiating programs directed at assisting the industry in exploring methods of catching fish, transporta-, tion of quality products, and processing was established in] principle. I

The addition of a Fisheries Management Unit to concentrate on fisheries problems on Lakes Temagami and Nipissing established a fifth such "intensive-study team" in a key fishery water. At the same time, the importance of District fisheries management officers was recognized, and two addi- tional positions were created bringing the total number to thirteen.
The Fish Culturist training program previously directed to hatchery technicians was re-established and expanded to include additional fisheries management training. In addi- tion to hatchery technicians, biologists, fishery management officers and conservation officers were offered the course to improve their technical background in fish culture and field management.
The program of modernizing and renovating the provincial hatchery system was marked by the beginning of recon- struction of the North Bay trout rearing station. Gross revenue from the sale of angling licences in Ontario is approaching three million dollars. Total sales in 1966 amounted to $2,971,295. Sales of all licences, including non- resident seasonal, non-resident three-day, non-resident organized camp, resident Provincial Park and resident Pro- vincial Park organized camp, showed an increase. Sales of non-resident three-day licence continued to rise from 69,401 in 1963 to 151,373 in 1966. The increase in revenue from total licence sales this year was $124,178 or 4.3%, and constitutes one of the more substantial increases in recent years.

FOREST PROTECmOlM BRANCH
The main objectives of the Forest Protection Branch are tc protect Provincial forest lands from damage by fire and pests, to protect life and property from forest fires, and toi provide flying and communication services for the Depart-; ment. The Branch is divided into two sections — Forest Protection and Air Service.
FOREST PROTECTION
Forest fires and area burned in Ontario during 1966 fire season were as follows: 1

Although the area burned over was one of the lowest on record, the number of fires was the fifth highest on record since 1917. For purposes of comparison, the average number of fires during the past fifteen years (1951-1965) was 1,376 per year and the average area burned over during the same period was 151,498 acres per year.
On July 22, 1966, in co-operation with the Ontario Forestry Association, a historical plaque was unveiled near Matheson commemorating the 50th anniversary of the forest fires which ravaged Matheson and other neighbouring communi- ties during July of 1916.
An experimental sferics-radar system was used to plot lightning storm movement in North-western Ontario with the objective of delineating areas requiring intensified detection for lightning fire coverage.
An aircraft detection study, initiated in Sault Ste. Marie District in 1963, was expanded to include two additional areas of approximately 2,000 square miles each in the Kenora and Temagami areas. Operating in addition to and independently from the regular detection system, the results were favourable. However, additional studies are required before the system can be considered operational.
rii
A total of 300 Indians were given a 10-day course in fire suppression bringing the total trained to date to 1,190. These Indians are employed on a rotation basis as standby sup- pression crews at strategic locations across the Province. Forest pest control was carried out on 11.500 acres of Crown owned or managed forest lands in 1956. The main effort was concentrated on the white pine weevil, the European pine sawfly, white pine blister rust and fomes root rot. In an effort to provide additional skilled labour for removal of diseased elm trees, the Department initiated and co- ordinated an interdepartmental project to train 55 Indian young men for this work.
The radio communications network was expanded to a total of 2.605 receiver-transmitter units.

AIR SERVICE
Nine DeHavilland Turbo-Beavers and one Twin Otter were purchased in continuation of the program to modernize the Department's fleet of aircraft. A total of 15 Turbo-Beavers are now in operation. Ten piston powered Beavers were sold by public tender.
The "Ontario Integral Float Water Bombing System" was installed in a total of 10 Otters and 15 Turbo-Beavers. Two Otters and two Turbo-Beavers were also equipped with a system designed to give the option of using plain water or "Gelgard" additive. "Gelgard" is a chemical water thickener which under certain conditions improves fire suppressive action.
An air operations study has been initiated to provide guide- lines to the present and long term development of the Air Service.
Flying operations were carried out from 26 bases during the fire season. Twelve of these bases provide year-round flying service necessary in resources management work. Five helicopters were again operated under contract from May 1 to September 30 to provide transportation in fighting fires in areas not accessible to conventional aircraft. Total flying time of Department aircraft was 14,752:40 hours, and a total of 36,702 personnel and passengers and 13,200,064 pounds were carried. The number of hours flown by helicopters under contract was 1,784:10 and by other leased helicopters and fixed wing aircraft was 2,323:10 hours. Seventeen mercy flights were carried out, totalling 25:15 hours,

PERSOIMIMEL BRAIMCH
The objective of the Personnel Branch is to provide ade- quate, competent staff for the Department, and to encourage good job performance through a career concept based on promotion, training and up-to-date position classification. The Branch is divided into five sections — Employment, Classification and Job Evaluation, Training and Special Assignments, Employee Relations, and Office Management. TRAINING
Some 86 students graduated from the Ontario Forest Tech- nical School Diploma Course in 1966. A total of 151 students were enrolled for the 1967 Diploma Course. RECRUITMENT
The recruitment program for foresters, biologists, forestry technicians and conservation officers covered 16 universities and four ranger schools, together w\th job advertising in printed media across Canada. The response has been gratifying.
