For it is the spawners of for years back that produce the spawners of this year. While only a meagre 50.000 sock- eye battled their way up the treacher- ous Fraser River to the Nechako watershed in the 1951 cycle year of 1947, their offspring returned 160,000 strong last summer, and despite heavy fishing at the mouth of the Fraser River their offspring in turn are ex- pected in the millions in 19 J. P. Tuyttens, the federai salmon expert for Prince George area. says that 1953 will probably see the silver horde top the million mark as a re- sult of ideal spawning conditions and a high survival of fry in the year 1949. Much of the credit for the gradu- ally increasing salmon spawning iz the Interior must go to the installation of the Hells Gate fish ladders which bring spawning fish over a s2ething torrent where a giant slide all-but blocked the Frager Canyon in 1915. Although the increased runs nave little direct benefit to residents of the Interior, with the exception of Indians, the economy of B.C. last year was given a $90,000,000 boost from the fishing and processing industries. + z RUBBER STAMPS THE TRIBUNE RUSH IN YOUR FURS — TOP PRICES OF THE SEASON NOW AVAILABLE!

McLean, Foray» Crop Specialist at the Dominion Range Experime.t Sta- tion, Kamloop.s In the early dave of ranching in any country, when feed is plentiful and stock are free to roam over large areas, deficiencies in the native fod- der are not common, and little theught is given to such matters. With closer grazing of the ranges, however, and -estriction of stock to fenced fields, q.uestion of proper nutrition invarianly arises. Deticient Areas Appeariag In the range areas of manv parts of the world, including the United States, prairies of Canada, South Africa, and Australia deficiencies in thenative forage have begun to ap- pear. A shortage of the mineral phos- horus, so essential for animal devel- A de- ciency of the mineral coha:t has een detected in pastures of central fea northern Alberta and other kreas and has been suspected in the Ypancois Lake-area of British Coi- imbia. Chemical Analysis Valuab'e While chemical anaylses do tell the whole story of a plant’ ing value, they do give some idea. and more complete information can be. obtained only by elaborate feed-' ing trials. Results to date from chemical analyses of native forage plants of this district indicate the following’ 1. All of the common range plants are richer in protein, minerais, etc., in their early growth stages, and the feed value drops off greatly as the plants mature. us and other essential elemems, es- pecially if not put up in good con- dition. 2. There is no shortage of phos- phorus on the spring ranges, but the cured grass for fall and winter graz ing is low in this essential mineral. 3. The vitamin A content of grass- es on the spring and early summer ranges is high but drops rapidly-as the grass cures and becomes Meach- ed. 4, Timber feed, in general. is high in feed value, especially wnen there is a good mixture of broad-lgcved 6. Vitamin A is frequently lacking in hay in poor condition or hay that is old. Phosphorus, Vitamin A Short It appears that, in general, the feed on our ranges is well suired for the production of livestock so lonz as ‘moderate, seasonal grazing is practiced. The green feed ou the lower ranges in spring and on the imber ranges in the summer is highly nutritious. The most serious deficiencies which may occur are a shortage of phosphorus and vitamin A on the fall ranges or in the winter feeding grounds if only hay 07 poor quality is fed.
