A SO RRA RT TTR TL 1 Vr A A 2 OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1922 | PAGE TWELVE Questions and Answers on Forestry. Conducted by the Canadian Forestry Association Q, Much has been said recently as to the enormous damage caused to ge forests of Quebee and New runswick by insect attacks on spruce. Is there any definite infor- mation on this? A. The Chief Forester of Quebec estimates that the bud-worm in Que- bec alone has destroyed no less than 76,000,000 cerds of valuable pulp- wood and this figure is just half of the estimate made by the Entomo- logical Branch of the Federdl Govern- ment, which places the loss at 160, 000,000 cords, representing a loss in raw material of from $750 000,- 000, to $1,600,000,000, Attacks of this insect pest have ceased for the present in many dis- triets. A further loss of less magui- tude must ensue through the weaken- ing of the forest trees which renders it more prone to damage hy other insects, particularly by bark beetles. The losses in Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick 'frdm jneects mand from forest fires exceeds vpry greatly the amount of timber annually cut, This means of course that the capital stock of our forests is being rapidly depleted. Q. I have a considerable' area of farm Iand in Sasketchewan and belts of trees. What growth can I expect in five or ten years? A, The best answer we can give you is from the actual experience of Western farniors. Russian poplar at five years attalns a height of 12 feet 6 inches and at ten years a height of 25 feet. - Cottonwood at five years will give 10 feet height, Maple, 8 feet 6.inches Birch, Gfeet, Ash 5 feet and. Elm 4feet. Conif- erous trees such as tamarck, larch, the spruces and pines grow much slower although ' their hardiness places the latter variety above all others for permanency and shelter, It ig a unique fact that while conif- erous trees like tamarack and Scotch Pine take a relatively long time to establish themselves, they will attain a growth In ten years varying from 9 feet for Jack Pine to 13 feet 9 in- ches for European: Larch, Q, Is it possible to transplant trees from the woods to my town property at thissseason of the year? 3 A A. It is possible but only with the expenditure of copsiderable money and time. Better 'wait until tall when the trees have shed their leaves.

Copyright, 1921, by MeClure News: paper Syndicate. (By Howard R. Garis.) "Dear me!" exclaimed Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzgy one morning, as she hopped about the kitchen of the hol- low stump bungalow. "Dear me! I wish Mr. Whitewash, the polar bear gentleman. would come along now with a dozen cakes of ice!" "Why wish for so many?" asked Uncle Wiggily, who was just finish- ing his breakfast of honey sauce and carrot marmalade. "Isn't there ice in the ice box?" "Yes, but I'd like two dozen big cakes to cool off my kitchen," went on Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy. "You see I have to iron some clothes today, and it's going to be very hot, especially as I have to heat the flatirons on the stove." "That's so," agreed Unele Wig- gily. . "It's too bad, Nurse Jane, that you. have to do so much of the hot and hard work." "That's what' I get for being a house-keeper," said the muskrat lady. "Generally I don't care. but it is very hot today, and I have so many of your handkerchiefs to iron. But nev- er mind!" "Oh, yes, 1 shall mind" quickly cried. the bunny rabbit, and his pink nose twinkled like anything. \ shall mind, Nurse Jane!

"I will!" cried the brave bunay gentleman. "You?" exclaimed Nurse "Why you can't iron!" "Of course I can," declared Mr. Longears. "I've ironed before, when you were 'away.

It is no trouble at all to iron them smooth with a hot flat. Let me try while you sit in the cool garden." The cool garden seemed very nice to Nurse Jane, and she was tired and hot. So she brought out the iron- ing board for Uncle Wiggily, show- ed him where the pile of dampened handkerchiefs were, and pointed to the flatiron heating on the stove. "One . thing you must be careful of," she said to the bunny. "The irons are hot, and if you let them stand too long on a handkerchief you'll burn a big hole." "Like Pussy Cat Mole!" laughed the bunny. "I know that! But I'll keep the hot flat moving, I won't 80 he started wo work, while Nurse Uncle Wiggily, and, really, it was not hard to push a hot flat over a "I'll get a hotter one from the kerchief when he heard a voice call- ing him at the side door.

"Now maybe this is the Fuzzy Fox trick on me, to get me out where they can nibble my ears," said the bunny to himself. "I'd better be fore I go to the door!" So Uncle Wiggily, leaving his hot irgn on the board, went on his tip- togs to the side door.

There are some thrilling stories "Greenland by the Polar Sea." The author led an expedition to map accurately the extreme northern limits of the huge island that haugs down like a monstrous pear from near the North Pole, The job--as can be imagined was no easy one. At times they journeyed along the sea-iie fringing the coast. Above the explorers on the land side, towered gigantic glaciers, "which in a <ingle sneeze threw gleaming ice-mountains out into the frozen ocean." Of the seven members of the ex- pedition who started, two perished, and the other five were perilously near sharing their fate, On one oc casion they were compelled their dogs raw.

TEA PRICES RISING WITH IN- CREASED DEMAND The shortage of the supply of tea available for consumption, due to the 207 reduction in production in the gardens of Ceylon and India, during 1921, has, as might be expected, pushed the price of the tea offered on the market today, up and up. At the same time the usc of tea has been gaining in popularity, and the reduction of four pence a pound duty on tea entering England will further stimulate the demand.
