HUNTER'S CORNER:

The. Hunter Profits When A Farm Is Abandoned

Abandoned farms, many al- ready re-claimed by Nature, dot our province from one end to the other. The Hinterland of Eastern Kings countyis an example. The section known as ‘The Glen’, once a riving farming community, is now practically deserted. Few farm are occupied although some are still cultivated. We don't have to go to eastern Kings to find de- serted farms, they may be found within a few miles of Charlotte- this columnist in his contention town. -Many may not agree with that such grown up farms—— re-

words—wi1l turn out to be sav- iour’s of our-wildlife. In certain districts they have already prov- ed their worth. They are replac- ing the areas ,ravaged by com- mercial pulp cutting and it’s good thing that they are. BEST HUNTING
