Land Judging Competition ELMER MAYE AND BERT PEARSON TOP IN LAND JUDGING COMPETITION Ontario County held its first Land Judging Competition on" Thursday, August 29th, in the Brougham area, under the supervision of the Ontario Department of Agriculture, and the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Con- servation Authority. To acquaint the contestants with the soil competition, and with the soils of the area, Mr. Douglas Logsdail as- sisted by Bill Campbell, Soils Depart- ment 0.A.C. gave instructions during the morning on the various soil hori- zons, pointing out the various textures and structures of the top and sub-goil; how to estimate the amount of or- ganic matter, of slope, and of erosion hazard; as well "as to evaluate the type of drainage, run off, and percola: tion; and after studying these points, how to classify the land. In the after- noon the group gathered at the farm of W. H. Westney & Son, Pickering, to compete in the actual competition. Four pits had been dug previously in different fields, to expose the soil. The competitors were required to score the land on the various points discussed in the morning, and then place the lands according to its suit- ability for various crops and give rea- sons for their placings. Mr. H. L. Fair, Agricultural Repre- sentative, was in charge of the compe- tition, and was assisted by Art Pat- ornel, field officer of the Metropoli- tan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority. The prizes were presented by Mr. W. H .Westney, Vice-Chairman of the Agriculture and Reforestation Com- mittee of the Authority. The first prize for both Seniors and Juniors, be- ing a $20.00 Scholarship for a Winter Short Course, 0.A.C., Guelph. Mr. Art Latornel presented soil testing tubes to each competitor on behalf of the Authority. From the enthusiasm that was dis- played in this compétition, it would appear that this competition will be one of the big yearly events for both Senior and Junior Farmers in Ontario County. Winners in the competition were: Seniors-- Bert Pearson, Alan Ball, Jack Pearson, Cloyne Stearman, all of Uxbridge, and Bob.

W.=James Canadian Statesman Thousands of people hurtle along the portion of Highway No. 401 that crosses the western part of Darlington Township without realizing they are passing what may, some day, be one of the most popular Provincial Parks in Ontario. It embraces all of the land south of the C.N.R. tracks to Lake Ontario, and east from the Durham-Ontario County boundary to the west line fence of the J. Pickell farm. When the Dept. of Highways 'acquir- ed the land for No. 401, they also as- sumed control of all the balance of the farms lying between the C.N.R. and the lake, which they offered to the Dept. of Lands and Forests for a pro- vincial park site. Thus the park is formed of parts of the farms on which some -of Canada's most illus- trious sons were "raised". Fourteen months ago, The States- man carried an article about this new park, and what had been accomplished to that date, i.e. June 7th, 1956, viz. the planting of a few thousand trees. A Natural Playground But it was not until the Editor of The Statesman, accompanied Dr. L. B. Williams on a visit, recently, to the park that we realized the tremendous potentialities of this beautiful, natural playground, within easy reach of more than one" and a half million people, Besides the lake, which runs the en- tire length of the two hundred odd acres, there is a large lagoon, near a very large marsh known to many in this district as Hall's Marsh, which is a natural habitat for water fowl. We found on our tour that where solid stands of trees have been planted, they are spaced six feet apart in the rows, and the rows are eight feet apart, and should be a wonderful wild life sanctuary. The trees planted in clumps will provide shady picnic spots for family groups, which will be only too glad to away from the hot, steamy cement jungles of seething growing populated cities. a Public Await Action But when is all this going to be gi ailabe to the public? At present, the gates are securely spend a couple of days each week-end! Provincial Park Project in Durham County -- a Recreation Haven padlocked, but this didn't prevent us from climbing the fences in our esca- pade. RN There are no Provincial Parks signs; no "Be careful with fire" signs, no "Keep off the grass" warnings; no base ball diamond; no picnic tables; no barbecues; no toilet facilities; no drinking water faucets; no parking spaces; no park roads. The unsightly, broken down wire fences have not been removed, nor the many undesirable types of trees. No effort has been made to clear the debris from the beach that is big enough to accommodate many hun- dreds of people simultaneously in search of God's great open spaces for relaxation. Need Eastern Entrance We saw no evidence of 'an eastern entrance, which prompts the question --has any efforts been made by the Director of Parks to purchase the J. Pickel farm, or even a good wide road across it? This property would give safe access to the park, and provide a house for the park resident caretaker. Reeve Roy Nichols of Darlington Township tells us a cloverleaf is on the blueprint from the Courtice road to make safe and convenient access to this area. In the centre of the park is the grave and monument of Sarah Burk, which should be left in its present state, because it commemorates one of Darlington's oldest settlers. It is a reminder of the days when many pioneers buried their loved ones on the family homesteads. Name For the Park We feel very strongly on the matter of a name for this park. Dr. L.. B. Williams being a former président of the "Men of the Trees", of Canada suggests, and we heartily agree, that the name should be euphonious. It should also perpetuate the memory of the original inhabitants of this local- ity, from whom the area was acquired. We refer, of course, to the Missis- sauga Indiang, from whom Lieut- Gov. Simcoe secured the land, by treaty. Therefore, our nomination is Mis- sissauga Park, Mississauga Park It seems hn shame to see so many people driving past this padlocked haven of beauty, restful quiet, and relaxation because, outside of the 'Testimonial Dinner To Port Perry H.S.

We also feel that when a person is appointed to the position of resident caretaker of this wonderful park he should be an idealist, of proven pro- bity. He should possess a pleasing personality, vision, showmanship, in- telligence, ,and have a proper concep- tion of the value of good public rela- tions and the potentialities of this gem of nature. One ors where the Depaartment could find such a man with all these qualities. Cairn To The Pioneers Last, but not least, a cairn should be erected in the park commemorating the pioneer families who cleared this land amid great hardships, and who have passed it on to us, to appreciate and enjoy. i This article has been written as a matter of information for our many readers and also the hope of creating public opinion to aid the government in taking action in the immediate future the development of this project.
