B. Reynolds, Port Hope, presented an interesting and informative address on this important subject. Reforestation he explained, is thee plunting of trees on large areas, alteough on a smaller scale, a man wbo plants even one tree on bis premises is doing reforesta- tion, said tee speaker. It bas be- come necessary because the per- centage o! forested land in On- tario bas become depleted due to indiscriminate cutting by pioneers and by lumbermen. Experts say that from 15 to 30 per cent o! land in any area should be re- served for trees, 'but in 1901 Dur- ham had only 9.4 %, and in 1934 Darlington had only 3.2% o! its land growing trees. Mr. Reynolds did not suggest that trees should be planted on good growing land. Rateer, be advocated planting on land un- fitted for-farrning and stated teat Ontario bad 8,500 sq. miles o! such soul, not under tree cultiva- tion. Sucb land, instead of being a burden by developing blow sand areas would witbin 8 or 10 years yield by-products by con- troiling water and flood condi- tions, and in 50 or 60 years would provide a dividend in lumber. Wood lands control floods and water supplies because they re- tard spring teaws, and absorb water from heavy rains in winter. not become frozen bard and mois- turc continues to seep through in- ta the ground supplying water to subterranean springs and wells.

The speaker also outlined the work which bas been going for- ward in Durham and Northum- berlund and in Ontario generally bcginning in 1907 wite the gov- crnmnent station ut St. Williams in Norfolk County. In 1924 thee Orono station was begun for thee distribution o! seedling trees to anyone wishing ta plant them. Mi. Squair's 10 acre wood plan- tation was aiso mentioned as thee first o! its kind in Ontario, begun lu 1905. Individuals, towns and munici- pulities should realize tee need for reforestation and all work to rcaching the desired end, con- cluded Mr. Reynolds. The speaker was introduced by A. M.

W. F. Rckard, M.P. for Dur- ham, officiaily opened the show, followed by an address of wel- core by fair president . W. Rolph. Everything was running according to schedule untîl, dur- ing the afternoon a square dance group from Leskard, coorfully clad in rustic outfits, put in an appearance in front of the grand- stand and began to hoe-it-down. Immediateiy the crowd packed around the stand, completely blocking the trotting races which were underway at the time. Rac- ing judges bellowed in their loud- speakers and became quite excit- ed about the unseemly interrup- tion of their formai racing pro- gram, but the crowd was fot to be moved. Eventually, directors ganged up on them and cleared the track after a hall hour delay. The baby show is always an event of interest, but this year entries were not too plentiful. Bernice Lunn, infant daughter of Mr. and Mis. L. Lunn, Orono, won first place in the 8 months and under class, with Agnes Hale, daughter of Mr. and Ms. Wm. Hale, Clarke, in second place, and Beryl Thickson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Thickson, Camp- bellroft, third. Incidentally, Mrs. Lunn is quite used to winning first prizes. Last year it waài in the show ring on a saddle horse, and this year she has turned her attentions to the baby ring. Betty Marie Cochrane, daugh- ter of Mi. and Mis. Ivan Coch- rane, Bowmanville, was the only entry in the 16 months and under class for girls. Clair Laverne Chapman, son of Mi. and Mis. Stanley Chapman, Orono, was first in the same class for boys, with Roy William Preston, son of M. and Ms. R.
