Fur on Four Feet: Mink ranches in Newfoundland are providing furs for the fashion centres of the world. Sugar Bush: Plastics displace traditional methods of sap collecting in Québec's maple woods--plastic tubing, leading from trees to central reservoir, provides a neat and easy way. The World of Wheat: Lunchtime during the harvesting season on a large prairie wheat farm near Pence, Saskatchewan, brings hungry threshers from their machines--and perhaps a neighbouring farmer dropping in with his two-seater plane.
