Friday, March 4. 1910 Drainage and Forestry. Good roads, drainage and forestry are three subjects that are at present receivâ€" ing a great deal of attention in the Dem- inion. G. C. Creelman, B. S. A., Presid- ent of the O. A. C. at Guelph, in his ad- dress eXplaining the work of the college, made the following remarks concerning draining and forestry, which we repro- duce partly on account or their local ap- plication and principally with the idea of encouraging the undeniably beneficial .work of tile draining, and preventing useless destruction of trees. man said : “We have Mr. W._ H. Day, Lecturer in Physics. A farmer said to me the other day. ‘ What do they do with Physics in Agriculture?’ The department of physics is one of the most important we have here. A man' said'to me the other day, ‘I live in Victoria County, and the water lay on ten acres of my land until June. and I could grow nothing on it but hay and oats.’ He notified our Professor of Physics, and he went down and gave him a plan so that he could underdrain Mr. Creel- and it is, now the earliest field on the farm. There are hundreds or thousands of acres of land in this Province of On- tario that need draining. The tile fac- toriesof this Province are new working overtime to get tile ready for the farm- ers who want to underdrain their land. Then we have Mr. E. J. Zavitz, Profes- sor of Forestry. What, do we care about Forestry? ,We are a forest country. But some men come along like Dr.-Clarke or' Dr. Pinchot of Washington, and they say ‘Stopl ' matter ? ‘ Why]. they say, ‘ we have not got fifty yearsY-supply of-timber in the world. Germany is new importing wood. There are only,» two countries in the world that 'have'jmore wood than they can use and-they a’r'e'Canada and the Scandinavian.=;EPeninsula, Norway and Sweden, andthey are giving out.’ I went down on the train this morning withhthc manageeof the Massey-Harris Works at Toronto, and he said, ‘We have brought in my million feet of lumber frdm the United States since the first'of January. We: are buying nearly all of it in Arkansas and Ohio. We cannot get it inCanada, our timber is about cxhausted.’ Weare starting to grow here little trees from seed. We:- have waste land all through this-Province from which the timber shouldjneiver have been cut, rocky places that are a disfigurement to the landscape. Suppose it does take fifty years, what is the difference? It is goâ€" ing to give us a revenue and the Govern- ment has taken it up. There are waste places north of Co- bourg and in Norfolk County and in Sim- ' one and in Lamhton, a strip nearly fifty miles long. Thousands of acres in Old Ontario could be rcplanted with first . class pine, and the time will come when we will get this back. What have we got to say to posterity for what we, have done in the year 1908? Millions of dol- lars worth of pine burned up simply for til; want of a little policing on the out- 51 e." - The Real Unlairness. The proceeds of a prisoner’s labor should go to himself or to his dependents. The only objection to this is that it puts him in some‘respects in-a better position than that of the free workers outsideâ€"â€" Globe. The prisoner and his family have to be supported by somebody, and if not by the prisoner himself, then by the “ free ’-' workers. Applying the proceeds of the prisoner’s labor to the support of himself and his family would therefore appear to have the efiect of relieving the free workers of that responsibility. The real unfairness comes in when the free workers support prisoners in idle- ‘ ness. It should be the .reverseâ€" the unjust supporting the justâ€"the burdens of the upright citizen lightened by the labor of the one who is naughty. Public Library Institute Meeting, The Public Library Institute meeting held at Lindsay on Friday last wasat~ tended by delegates from twenty~five of the thirty-seven libraries in the district.

Wilson’s recent recital in Toronto is taken from the Globe : “An overflowing audience attended the vocal recital by Miss Lillian G. Wilson and Mr. Warren I. Walker in the Margaret Eaton School of Literature and Expressidn last evening,_ and enjoy- ed a programme of engaging and attrac~ tive songs, alike creditable to themselves and their well known teacher, Mr. Arthur Blight. Miss Wilson has a sop- rano voice of high, elastic quality and range, which she uses with admirable ease and freedom. Hernumbers, which were remarkably well sung, were": “The W'ren," Lehmen; “Songs My Mother Taught Me,” Dvorak; “The Call of Radha,” by Ware; “ Delight Value,” Luckstone, and “ Ich Kann N icht Fassen" (German) by Von Fielitz. Mr. Walker is also a most excellent representative of Mr. Blight's success as a teacher of sing- ing. Possessing a voice of fine baritone quality, he impresses one with his sin- cerity and regard for fine vocal effects, ‘ as instanced, especially in his singing of “ The Trumpeter " by Dix. and a trio of songs by Clarke. Miss Wilson and Mr. Walker were also heard in a duet., “The First Song,”- by Goetz, which was charm- ingly rendered. Fenelon Council. I Council met at call of. the move-all members present.
