PONTYPOOL The writer is neot personaliy ac quainted with Stuart Dorrell an( Jack Green of Nestieton, or We, His of Enniskillen, but, join with ail other citizens in offerini congratulations for their succes at Kemptville Agricultural Schoc and for 1 brînging such high hon ours ta tlbeir home county, There is an odd twist ta thi! little story that you m'ight like tc hear about. After the first worlc war, a fairly yaung man named McPhaii, vas appointed Agrictelt. ural Reprqsentative for Durhan County, a tOPort Hope, where WE first made, bis acquaintance. HE had served in the Canadian Field Artiliery ,n France. But, before that, he had been raised on a farm. His brothers went ta school anc college, while he stayed an the farm. After his brothers were edu. cated, young McPhail decided te quît the farm ta attend coilege. His friends tried to dissuade him, because, he had no high schoo] training. It iooked like an impos- sible feat Io jump from public school ta O.A.C., but this fearless chap flot only tried it, but suc- ceeded. Today, that saine fellow is Principal of the Kemptvilie Agri- cultural School where Dorreil, Green and His won their spurs. Here is the odd twist mentianed earlier in thîs caiumnn. Wrhiie the Durham County boys were attend- ing classes at Kemptviile, a son of the Principal was and is working as a labourer, here at Durham Forest. He has universitv train- ing, is very interested in Forestry, and, like his Dad, served Canada during the recent war. Oniy in- stead of being in the artiilery he was with the Navy. Like his Dad he isn't looking for snaps, but, willing ta qualify for a positon in Ontario's Forestry Service by starting at the bottom of the lad- der. Although he knows a thou- sand times more than the writer abolit Farestry, yet he is serving under the writer as a common la- bourer, planting trees around, lug- ging water, in fact, ail the hun- dred and one inenial tasks that go ta make tree pianting a success. H{e rides in the back of the truck wîth the ati'er hired help. Neither asks for, nor receives, any extra consideration. He is modest, intel- ligent, likea-ble. We are giad fate made him pass this way. Sa, y ou see folks, while aur boys are covering themselves with gia- ry elsewhere, some one eise's boy s doing the same thing in aur nidst. Wes Clapper had a narrow qeak last week. He, with athers if the clan, were bowling merriiv along anc of aur township roads, in their ancient motor car, with baby carniage fastcned in front, i,'hcn they arrivcd at a raiiroad rassing at the precise moment bat the C.P.R. train did. The car was knockcd about a bit, losing the odd door, fender, etc., but, the occupants were unhurt. Just the iuck of the Irish. Wes says he doesn't recommend this form of recreation tao oftcn. He says it ýives a persan quite a thrili, but iapt ta be fatal if the engine iays 'Loo rough. By the time this appears ini )rint wc hope ta be through plan t- ng trees for this seasan. Perhaps t is as weli, as it will give us a riance ta have aur hair cut. If it lets much longer we wiii have ta 'cear a bow tic. and buy a second iand fiddle. Even now we are fraid it will g-et caught in the nachinery. Aithough the first tree was Ianted on the new Ganaraska 'roject on May' 12, 1947, we have ýdate pianted approximately ne million trees hpre.

The questionnairs is being sent out by the Agricutural Division, made of nylon at Drummondville, Domnion Bureau of Statistica. if Q u ~. ico-operation with the Ontario De- ipartrnent of Agriculture, Tbronto. Success of the survey depends on co-operatian of farmers in £111- >ing out the desired information. Officiais of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture are urging that ail farmers assist. Unless the survey covers a large number of farms, it is flot worth a great deal. It is pointed out that the informa- tion sought has nothing ta do with taxation and returns are only seen by statistical office-workers. In addition ta this the farmer ia protected against wrong use of his return by any department. However, the statistics compil. ed from the returns are valuable ta gavernment departmentÉ, banks, farmer and farm organiza. tians, raiiw.ay companies and many industries in planning op- erations.
