It was proposed that the Govern- ment follow a vigorous program to assist municipalities to expand tree planting projects and acquire for this purpose lands unsuitable for other economic use. Forma- tion o!fifood controi and conser- vation areas was recommended on a stream watershed basis, municipalities affected being per- mitted to enter into mutual ar- rangements "irrespective of pres- ent c u s t o m a r y boundaries".

When the snow disappeared, vegetables an d plants as wcli as claver and fal wheat were found ap green as in late fail. Buds and even flowcrs made their appearance as ealy es Manch 20 and farmers were on the land in some places on that date. Many are stili wondering what Apnil has in store. This is subscription turne.
