Editor GL ARI) WELL Ol R TRfKS " The Dominion Forestry Uepurtmont sen thiouch th» Western Provinces. an expert in tree nluntinif and growtli, who during the late summer, travelled over seven thousand miles on praine railways, and addres-ed well attended meetinRs in nearly two hundred rur- al communities, attended by nxany thousands ol settlers. The chief of the mission now declares, that in the widely extended territory which he traversed, he d idnot find a single farmer who had given up a well treed homestead. The fact is that plenty of good trees is a valuable asset for any farmer. It is especially advan- tageous to the farmer on the prairie. and it is satisfactory to learn, that every year sees more and more trees planted, and successfully cared for. Here in Ontario, we started out with abundamo of trees, but in many local- itiesâ€"even this favored portion of the provinceâ€"the forests are fa.st being cut out. Landowners will help themselves, and promote the prosper- ii{y of the country generally, if they keep planting and carefully -vatjhing over trees, thaB will in the course of time be <>f much value. The advice of the old Scottish landowner to his son. "Plant-n tree, laddit; it will grow twenty-four hours a day without tend- ing, it^vill grow while you sleep," is just as appropriate for every farmer's son in this new land.

Markdale Bandmaster Parke, a practical jew- eller and watchmaker, was the lead- er of one of the battalions that was mobillized and partially trained in Winnipeg before proceeding overseas during the war. The young men comprising the local organization, the Mayor and Councillors who a- greed to increase the municipal grant in order that the services of this gentleman could be secured, and townspeople generally are anticipat- ing splendid ^ things in store for I Walkerton's Band. A healthy spirit of co-operation and loyalty exists a- . among the instrumentalists. Mr. I Parke, it is understood, expects to engage in business here. Walkerton Telescope.

GOLQUETTE, Feversham EDITORIAL NOTES Mr. Irwin, M.P.P. for South Perth, intimated at a recent banquet, that he would fight in the legislature next year for an increase of one per cent 4n the tax on gasoline, and a reduc- tion in thii annual fee charged, as a license for motor vehicles. The ar- gument in favour of the change is .that the man who has a car and drives but a thousand mile s.hould not pay as much as an individual who drive his car 10,000 miles a year. Under the present system, both pay about the same to the Provincial government. With four cents tax on gas, it wouhl bo possibbk' to make the man who wears out the roads pay for ihom It is certainly ad- visable that any new legislation should be in this direction, l)ut__ would it not l)e pos.'iil)le, with the practice of economy by the government, to reduce the license on ordinary cars, â€" not trucks run for ordinary commercial purposes â€" while keeping the tax on gasoline as it is at preuent. It is found by most people to be quite high enougli now. « * • One doe.s not wonder that the British Columbians are rejoicing, be- cause of the development of their pro- vfnce, as a consequence of di||velop- ments on the Pacific. Reflect on the fact that already, when the har- vest in Canada is scarcely all gather- ed, Japa nhas purchased 150,000 tons of our i:t2.'> wheat crop, which is a- bout three times the tonnage pur- chased last year, and the grain traff- ic of this iJoniinion with the Orient.as well as with Europe, through Pacific ports, and the Panama Canal, is but is but in its infancy.

After the Fordney U.S. Tariff of 1922 went into effect in the United States we sold them only $51,337,733 worth. By raising their tariffs the United States farmers have put about $100,000,000 per annum more into their pockets and the Canadian farmers have lost k. What is the lesson to the Canadian farmer? On what terms is the Canadian farmer competing with the farmer of the United States? They are terms that not only forbid the sale of his products in the United States but compel him at the same time to witness United States farm products replacing his own in the hotne markets of Canada. Let us examine some of these terms. -, ^-^ For Entrance 4p PRODUCTS ^ into Canada '^ the Americans pay: Potatoes 35 cts. per 100 lbs. Eggs 3 cts. per doi. Butter 4 cts. per Db.

It was, therefore, to the American Farmer's benefit. And we prove it. In the next column we list a few Canadian products imported by the United States under the 1921 tariff and under the' raised tariff of September 2l8t, 1922.

Meanwhile half a million Canadians have rr oved to the United States because of the tariff reductions that have closed up or ulowed down hundreds of factories. That is, half a million buyers of Canadian farm products have been lost. The far* mers are hit twice.
