This is the fourteenth year that such a tree digtribution has been made in the West, and each year it is growing larger. It represents a systematic effort to alter the face of the prairie country by spreading a forest growth over it, and the change already made has been a vast improvement. The 1915 distribution will carry the good work considerably further in each of the Provinces of Manitoba, Sas- katchewan, and Alberta, There is a well organized system behind this tree planting. It is a much bigger thing than any Arbor Day celebration, and being directly under Government auspices is a quite unique phase of state-controlled forestration. Canada has blazed the way in this direction, and in at least one case her example is about to be followed by another country. A year in advance the farmer who desires some trees on his homestead, to break the wind and shelter his buildings, makes an application to the tree-planting division of the Forestry Branch, which is under the Department of the Interior. An agent of the department then visits the farm, examines the land, and, 'if satisfied that trees can be grown on it successfully, gives advice about its preparation and the planting of the trees. The farmer signs an agree- ment to set apart a sufficient area for the purpose, to cultivate the soil as instructed, and to maintain the plantation as a permanent shelter- belt or wood-lot. The department agrees to furnish the tree-seed:ings and other plant material without cost, except in the case of evergreens, for which a charge of one ~ent apiece is made. » The varieties found most su'table for prairie planting are the Manitoba maple, ash, cottonwood, willow, Rus- sian poplar, with tamarac and Scotch pine for leaders among the conife s and caragana for a bush-filler. The seedlings are pulled in the fall and heeled in the ground for winter stor- age. When planting times comes they are uncovered, tied in bundles of twenty-five, and shipped out to the men who have asked for them. For two years more thespares 1} Department keeps in toucH with every farmer thus supplied with tree stock. Inspectors are sent over the field to see how the plantations are faring and how well the instructions of the department are being carried out. Before the department will furn- ish a tree the land must be prepared by breaking up, and if necessiry by putting under some other crop. The seedlings are planted in straight rows, about four feet apart, and the space between is kept clear by the use of a cultivator or by hand hoe- ing. When the trees have grown enough to meet overhead there is no further need of cultivation, as forest conditions have then been establisiy: ed. Loss by winter-killing, even 'n the first year or two, is but a smali item. Under favorable conditions the trees grow to a height of nine or ten feet in four years, and to twenty. five or thirty feet, with a circumfer- ence of perhaps eighteen Inches in four years more, A shelter-beit of trees like these turns prairie to for- est, and with all its other benefits makes possible inside it a range of small fruit gardening that otherwise could never. be on a windswept prairie farm. ! Free distribution of tree seedlings under Government auspices began In the Canadian West in 1901. It was then purely experimental, and most people believed it useless. So skep- tical were the farmers themselves that it was with considerable difi- culty that the Forestry Department placed its first 50,000 trees, and the men who 'set them out were the jokes of their respective communi- ties. But the trees grew, and the joke was on the other fellows, so many of whom are now asking for ges : IE] at J ill § 5 } THE DATLY OFFENDERS SHOULD PAY. 'ndustrial Canada Argues For New Method of Fire Fines, There is a growing feeling in Can- ada that 'hose who cause fires through carelessness or wilful neg- lect should pay for the resulting damage, ' In Enrope, laws placing responsi- bility for and assessing damages caused by fires have been in exist- ence for a hundred years. Hard times are forcing us to econ- omize, and as Canadians suffer more fire losses per capita than any other civilized people, we could very pro- fitably add a curtailment of our fire bill to our policy of retrenchment. We all help to pay for fires. If farm buildings, stores, railway bujldings, factories and workmen's houses are constantly being burned, the loss Increases the cost of produc- tion and goes on to consumers In the shape of higher prices for goods. Estimating on a per capita basis, the average Canadian family of five pays beiween fifteen and twenty dol- lars annually towards the national fire bill, Fire prevention campaigns do much and the co-operation of fire- men as inspectors of premises would do more; but a fine is a sharp educa- tor, which quickens the perceptions of the Indolent more readily than volumes of written or verbal advice. ! Why should there mot be laws punishing carelessness ih regard to fire? There are thousands of con- victions in this country registered annually against people who drive too fast in automobiles, leave ice on their sidewalks or maintain nuis- andes dangerous to health, Why should those whose dirty chimneys, defective wiring or neg- lected furnaces endanger lives and prosperity escape? The enactment of such legislation is strongly advocated by the National Fire Protection Association of the United States, which has just pub- lished the following recommendation from its committee on Public Infor- mation: "Revised building codes, huge, ex- pensive and efficient" fire depart- ments, enormous expenditures for water supplies and all other physical means have failed, and will® fail, to check the fire waste so long as the carelessness and indiffe; of the American people res g it re- main uncorrected, "In view of the impoverishment of the nation by this reckless and un- ceasing waste, and the failure of all other efforts to interest- the public in measures for its own economic salvation, this committee advocates the early enactment in all the states of a law that shall compel individual atiention to this vital matter, by im- posing legal liability for the results of carelessness and neglect." As our per capita fire are greater than those of e United States, a proposal for similar legisla- tion in Canada would probably re- ceive effective support. -- Industrial Canada. Large Crop Expected.

Curious Story of Cross Shaped Edi fice In Toronto. Visitors o Toronto often wonder at the story behind the boards which close in the windows of the hoary old Primitive Methodist Church, cor- ner of Yonge street and Davenport road. The structure is a landmark of old Yorkville; when opened ip 1866 it was the village's finest show building. At the same corner stood the toll-gate that collected the nickels from the buggies and wagons jogging off towards Lambton and Weston, at this point, in those days. The first minister to preach there was Rev. James Boys, and in thelr turn several well-known divines served consecutive terms; Revs. Charles E. Stafford, Wm. Herridge, James Bdgar, M. H. Mathews, C. O. Johnson, and T. W. Jolliffe, There are very few of the worshipers at St. Paul's Methodist Church, Avenue! road, who know that a certain strik- ing stained glass window filtering the light to their hymn-books once was an equally admired feature of the edifice on Davenport road Boards fill up its space, the largest opening on the Yonge street front. The Yorkville Primitive Methodist Church was only occupied twenty years, and has now stood virtually tenantless for nearly another thirty. At odd times, but for short periods, it has given temporary shelter to different sects; the Salvation Army's drum beat there for an interval. The neglected church, in its cigele of chestnut trees, is a great puzzle to many peqple; its site was appar- ently so well chosen, and its presen! condition needs only a small expen- diture to rend& it "serviceable." An old citizen, a Methodist himself, sug- gested the other day that perhaps people of his faith are superstitious. "I remember hearing once that the congregation abandoned it because it was built in the form of a cross. Walk around Toronto, of drive through the country, and you can always tell what denomination wor- ships there by the style of architec- tyre, . The English Church and Ro- mgn Catholics are partial to the nave-and-transept plan, but whoever heard of a Methodist Church in that form except the ome at Davenport road?" Enquiries elsewhere failed to connect up this old citizen's sug- gestion. It has been learned, how- ever, that the original Primitive Episcopalians, who built the place, were an: offshoot from a little church on Cumberland street, old Yorkville, under the care of Rev. Robert Cade, who was sent out by the London Foreign Mission, in 1853. Such was his success that an agitation for a larger place of worship began. The new site, was chosen by Robert Walker, head. of the well-known Edward .stands. John Wi , one of the "and Soms," further. ised a big subscription, and wanted the new church erected following the plan -of one he had taken a great fancy to in England. His offer was most thankfully accepted; apd the place was put up according to the stipulated cruciform shape. Canadian Girl's Experience. Miss Margaret Cross, the talented Canadian violinist, {8 a much-talked of personage just now, owing to her recent escape the maelstrom of European military strife. For months after the war began she was the cause of anxiety and specu- lation among her many Canadian friends and admirers. 'However, af- ter being detained a full half year in Austria, she managed her exit from that country, Genoa, Italy, whence she sailed to time ago. Margaret Cross is the daughter of Albert J. Crosy, of Vanleek Hill, she'was born November 24, 1893. As a child she was pre- coclous to a degree that was un- canny, starting the study of the At school latér she was so far in advance of her years that her parents seit her to remain some months with rela- tives that she might be held back a year, but Margaret had the ambition carried her through many difficulties. She kept up her studies and was home in time to pass 'the High School entrance examination at the head of her class.

Important 'ndustry Was Started In| Ontario In 1858. | Bean growing in Ontario has had | a steady and a substantial develop- | ment. By the introduction of im- proved machinery the crop is now produced much more easily than it] was In former years, says C. A.| Zavitz in a recent Ontario Depart-| ment of Agriculture bulletin. It fits into a rotation of farm crops admir- ably. The seed furnishes a concen- trated and a highly nutritious ar ticle of human food. The crop is! readily stored, easily transported and can be used in 4 variety of ways. The price of beans has advanced | from time to time until it is now more than double the average price of beans for the past thirty years. It is probably safe to say that there Was never a time more opportune than the present for increasifg the bean crop in Ontario to the advan- tage of both the producers and the | consumers, | The production of beans in a av m- mercial way was started in Ként| County, Ontario, about 1856. South- ern Ontario is particularly well adapted to the production of com-| mercial field beans and of seed beans | of fine quality. | According to the Census and Sta-| tistics Reports of the Dominion De- | partment of Trade and Commerce for | the past five years, 86.6 per cent, of | the fleld beans produced in Canada | were grown in the Province of On-| tario. [ The Reports of the Bureau of In-| dustries of the Ontario Department | of Agriculture inform us that for the past thirty-three years there has | been an annual average in the Prov- | ince of Ontario of 44,427 acres, and | of 758,762 bushels of beans, with an | annual market value of $946,371. bushels per acre per annum, For the: five years, from 1909 to 1913, inclusive, there was an annual aver- | age of 56,631 acres, and 964,172] bushels of beans. The average yield | for the five year peripd was 17.2 bushels per acre. It will, therefore, | be seen that the acreage of beans In| Ontario for the past five years sur-| passed that of the thirty-three year | period by an averarge of fully 12,-| 000 acres per annum. It will also! be noticed that the yield is slightly! for the longer period. bean crop of Ontario amounted to | $545,087. for the ten year period | from 1892 to 1901; to $8,263,012) for the ten year period from 1902 to 1911; and to $2,009,587 for the two year period comprising 1912 and | 1913. These figures show a substan- tial development in the bean indus- try of Ontario. » Booming Tourist Trafic. } Holiday-seekers who, during the | coming summer, are likely to be de- | nied their customary jaunts to Eur- | ope, may solace themselves by plan- | ning elaborate automobile trips | throughout the vast and picturesque | plans already perfected by the Pro- | vincial Government it is proposed, | both under the Northern Ontario de- | funds, to build a huge mileage of | roadways. | A big summer program is project- | menced in earnest. arriving in ' vere set-back. .
