Beavers Lose Popularity Pressure on Ontario Control
Dr. J K Reynolds of the provincial lands and forest department reports beaver numbers have surged since 1946, making control urgent. A quota system yields one pelt per active lodge, with a 1940–46 boom followed by a 125,000 beavers caught on 4,904 lines. Prices drop to 13 dollars per pelt from earlier highs. Beaver dams flood roads and farms, causing train derailments on the CNR. Transfers by plane or truck were tried but halted as populations grew, and now property owners may kill beavers with pelts surrendered to the department.
