[6‘ Uflice hours from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m EELSHA‘MARK, E. D.HAND fiailifl‘. Clerk 'l‘he Fenclon Falls Gazette. Friday, June 3. 1910 Commission of Conservation Report. The first annual report of the commis- sion of Conservation is to hand. It deals with scientific forestry, conservation of agricultural resources,water powers, fish and game and fur-bearing animals; pos- sible economies in mineral production and maintenance and improvement of public health. The report contains two hundred large pages and has many illus- trations, besides a map of the proposed forest reserve on the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains. This reserve is con- sidered absolutely necessary to the pre‘ servation‘ of the water supply of Alberta ‘ and Saskatchewan. A map of the Ottawa River basin, which is 56,000 square miles in area, is also included. This territory, the report states, will if properly con- served became a great power centre and distribute power to great distances, and by the end of the twentieth century may be “ the power heart of the world and the centre of a delightful district, unsullied by coal smoke and beautified by reservoirs. of unrivalled natural beauty." Perhaps the most interest- ing papers in the report are those of P. H. Bryce, M. D., on Public Health, and Dr. James W. Robertson on Agricul- tural Resources. We take pleasure in making a few extracts from the latter: “Agriculture is not breaking clods or moving soil by hand or by machinery ; it is the care of the surface of old mother earth. It is a task for men of the large vision, men of stout heart, men of kindly goodswill towards their fellows. Out of their labours also abideth these three: faith, hope and love. ._ The task of the race for many thousand of years has been to take care of old mother earth and make her a better home for children. Why the railway, why the art gallery,wh y the library, why the steamship, why the Dreadnoughts, why anything, but that the face of old mother earth may be a better place for homes for children? And the best result of all the effort is found in the culture of the“ farmer and of his family by intelligent labour. From the best agriculture comes the culture of the rural population, not‘only for this year's crop and next year’s crop, but for the conservation andtransmission of all they have acquired and achieved and become. * It is for us to see that the fertility of our soil shall be maintained, and that there shall be continuously improving conditions for the rural population. Al- ready in our brief term of occupation the soil fertility is sbmewhat depleted. Is there no warning in the fact that the average yield of wheat per acre in the United States is only one-half of the average yield per acre in old England ? Seeds are important. The crops of Can- ada, in 1909, of wheat and oats and barley called for about 33,000,000 bushels of seed grain. Some years ago a competi- tion was carried on in,450 places in Can- ada to determine the results obtainable by sowing selected seed. If you reason from the results, you shall find that an increase of 190,000,000 bushels of cats, wheat and barley might have been ob- tained by this one means, alone, in 1909. 1 do not say that improvement is imme- diately practicable or possible; but I do say it is attainable when all the fields of Canada are sown always with clean, well-selected seed. I can hardly realize what quantity 190,000,000 bushels repre- sents. The figures by themselves do not convey clear, definite meaning ; but I know the quantity they represent is more than four times as much as all the grain and flour that went through the port of Montreal in any season before 1909. What a possibility of extending and expanding commerce. That 190,000- 000 bushels of grain would fill 1,500 miles of railway grain cars. We are gradually, very gradually, and slowly coming to see the importance of pure seed. We require seeds that suit the soil and climate. No man can tell without trial that a seed will fit into any particular set of conditions ;but, so far as we know, the plant that has proven its ability to do so well, to do the best of any of its kind in a locality, will give the seed that will produce the plant there again which will thrive best in that locality. Even in the few years that MacDonald College has been in existence, Professor Kliuck has perfected Indian corn for fodder and for ensilage which thrives admirably in Quebec. The experiments on the Do- minion Experimental Farms have given the farmers of the West control over the climate to the extent of escaping frost in great measure by means of varieties of wheat which will ripen some days earlier than was formerly the case. The work of the Ontario Agricultural College has given a barley to Ontario which yields on the average some four bushels more to the acre than any other variety so far known. A strain of barley especi- ally well suited to Quebec and Maritime Provinces has been evolved by Professor Klinck at .Macdonald College. These are already achievements iii the right duration? ' l lot 14. Ten F eel. The council on Monday evening res- cinded its former motion regarding the cement sidewalks and decided to make them ten feet wide. Several prominent citizens were present, and helped the council to come to this decision. The work of drawing the stone and of moving the telephone and telegraph poles has already been commenced. Mr. Aldous is deepening the drain in front of his property so that there will be no occasion to disturb it after the walks are laid, and operations will soon be in full blast. Mr. John Jones, who is in charge of the work, went to Lindsay last evening to engage a finisher, and if not able to secure a man there, will go on to Peterborough. m Personal.

Daniel. We regret this week to record the death of Mr. John 0. Daniel, who cut his foot while chopping wood on the 24th of May. Blood poisoning set in afterwards, due, it is thought, to Mr. Daniel not. being in the best of health and having to walk a considerable distance after the accident. He died on Wednesday morning, only a week after the accident. The funeral on Thursday afternoon was largely attended. The deceased was a son of the late John Daniel of Rosedale. Alex "fraternalkm... Alexander H. Porte, of Oakville, a uni- versity student, who was acting as a fire ranger for the Provincial government in the M ississauga Reserve, was accident- ally shot and killed on the reserve on Saturday. Word tothe effect was sent to Mr. George Yates, secretary to the Minister of Lands, Forests and Mines,'by Wm. Kenney, chief ranger. No particu- lars of the shooting were received by M r. Yates. _ ~ Mr. Porto was 21 years old, and this was the third year he went north for the government as a fire ranger. He was considered a good all-round man. He was a son of the late Captain Porte, who dropped dead in London several years ago. The body was taken to Toronto. A later account states that Mr. l’orte was accidentally shot by a gun in the hands of a companion. ' Mr. Porto was a teacher in the public school at Fenelon Falls for a short time ‘ last fall. . WONDERLAND. Mr. F. C. Johnstone is installing a new moving picture machine, with all the latest improvements, at Wonderland. The machine is expected to arrive in a few days. GUELPH EXCURSION.

The drilling on the canal channel will be completed in a day or two, and the drill scow will then be moved to Kirkfield. Mr. Ancil Mills, the - popular foreman of the drill scow, who was off duty for a while owing to a stroke of paralysis, has been in charge again for the past couple of weeks. Under his foremanship it is needless to say the work of drilling has been done in a thoroughly first-class manner. The dredge will remain for three or four weeks yet, to finish taking the rock out of the channel. It is expected work will shortly be commenced on the cement dock to be built east of the railway bridge. The dock will be a good length, and will be a great con- venience for boats landing in this part of the canal. 0â€"...â€" Bowmanville News :â€"Perhaps had Pcterboro passed local option Jan.3, and ithad come into force May lst, James Gorham would not be in jail charged with fatally shooting his mother while drunk last week. _..4._o The Matron of the House of Refuge of the County of Victoria needs two helpers.
