PGE extension would certainly assist th ation, keeping in mind that the PGE has to pay for itself as well Hunters: Versus Ranchers With the start of the coming hunting season a lot of us will be taking to the fields in search of grouse and ducks. In the process or finding the feathered game too many of uS will: i. Leave ranchers’ gates open behind us. 2. Break down fences where we couldn't find a gate. 8. Scare the living daylights out of stock by: (a) Shooting over their ‘heads (b) Peppering them with buckshot. 4. Blast away at a grouse that you have followed prac- Se icalepinto the-rancher's house. _ 5, Say QMO unkifd thines about our rural jaeighbors “‘Awhen we Wiscoved there is more land thaff@yer posted this year with ‘No Shooting” signs. i Of course the first tour acts (and many more in the same category) are the reasons behind the last fact. Most ranchers don't like to post their property but they-ave found that it is the only thing to do when hunters persist in acting without any thought to the rights of the owner. If a better feeling between. the rancher and hunter is to be cultivated in the future it will be up to the latter to conduct himself With a little more thought for other people’s property. Wonder Who Lives There? Speaking of our neighbors in the country a local reader passed on a suggestion that some of those living along the highways and byways might want to follow. The suggestion concerns the erection of simple signs on farm gates to let travellers know who lives where. Most of us travel along the country roads without the slighest idea of whose farms we are passing, a source of annoyance to bossessors of a natural curiosity. Country people might retaliate by saying that we don’t bother to put up signs in front of our homes in town either, but there is a difference An individwal house evokes little interest when it is placed in a tight row with twenty or thirty others, but space them about twenty miles apart and it is a different story Out for a drive on a Sunday afternoon townspeople might be more inclined to visit their rural friends if they knew where they lived. In our business, for example, we meet many of you good people in the district and many of you have issued a kind invitation to drop in and see you when we are out your way. But when ‘your way’ is about 60 miles from town, the descrip- tion of your home is apt to be a little vague and those signs would be a help, Mister Rancher Did you ever stop to think how important _that Truck of yours is around the Ranch?
