Thursday, LOST AT ORANGBVILLB Durham’s No. 1 intermediates lost out at. Orangeville yesterday 13â€"3 in the first league game of the season. Though the score is somewhat lob- sided, the game was a lot better than it would indicate, especially during the first two periods. In the first quarterOrangeville scored 2, while Durham failed to tally, and in the second period each scored 1, making the halfâ€"time score 3-2. vapv --'â€"â€"- It was in the third quarter that. the damage was done. Mercer was ruled oil‘ for an accident-at hit over the head, and Graham also was sent to the fence at the same time. With two odd men, Oz‘angeville ran in seven goals this session and put the game on ice. In the third period. Orangeville outscored the. 100313 3 to '1. and the final traliy was 13â€"3.

RBPORBSTING SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED 'l‘he rel'oresting idea is being con- sidered in a greater measure, than ever and it is said that. twelve counties in Ontario have taken ad- . vantage of the Ontario Government‘s ' plan of’rendering assistance. Any land that is usefess for agricultural purposes might be turned with prof- it to a'woodiot. It may be true the " planter will never reap the benefits of his labor. but future generations will have a wealth of timber on what would otherwise prove a worthless soil. In any one of the four town- ships lying adjacent to Durham. there are large blocks of land that will never yield a profitable return if used for agricultural purposes, and for the purposes of reforesting will be growing worse every year as the years go by. By co-operating with the Provincial Forest Service these otherwise useless lands might be planted with pine. spruce and other trees. There might be but. little material advancement in the present generation, but each year wiil make its additions and in a century from now there will be a complete transformation. Just as the t'ace‘ot‘ nature has been changed from forest to farm, a reversal of the process would change much of our waste. and useless land back again from farm to forest. There arettoo many who are selfish and hesitate to engage in any enterprise unless1 they see direct gain for themselvesfl To the community which goes in for reforesting. there must be an ab- sence of greed. It must be a work of faith. a labor of love for the benefit of those who come after us. Our children, or our children’s children may profit. but little, a‘nd the most comforting feature is the thought that some time or other posterity will benefit. by our efforts, assisted in years to come by the influence of Nature. TRAFFIC REGULATION Down in Nova Scotia they have a law that excludes motor traffic from the highways during the early spring. A similar regulation is in force in Quebec, and the adoption of the Nova Scotia polgy, according to the Halifax Chronicle. is being strongly urged in Ontario, Where they are finding that motor traffic, particularly heavy trucks, is doing tremendous damage to the surface of the roadways during the period when the frost is coming out of the ground; and it is'probable that next year tratfic will be regulated ac- cording to the Nova Scotia method. “The regulation,” says The Chronicle. "has been criticized by thoughtless people in Noxa Scotia, who, apparâ€" ently care little about the enormous amount of damage which may be done to the roads so long as they are free to travel as they please. The ~poliey is. however, so essential to the iprotectiOn of our highways, that we feel sure it will be maintained as a permanent regulation.” you won’t. Manitoba, says The Winnipeg Free Press, is fortunate, perhaps, in not. having a promem of this kind on hand. Out there the motorist who goes out on a prairie road when the frost is coming out of the ground is looked upon either as a fool or a hero and is pitied or congratulated as the case may be. - You can always run down the rich when you have nothing else to be grouchy about.

QUESTIONS m umns , 03 mans-my Q.â€"-Much has been said. recently as to the enormous damage caused to the forests of Quebec and New Brunswick by insect attacks on spruce. Is there any definite infor- mation on this? A .â€"-â€".The Chief Forester of Quebec? estimates that the budworm in Queâ€" bec alone has destrox ed no less than 75, 000,000 cords of \aluahle pulp- \1 ood and this figure is just half of the estimate made by the Entomolo- rvical Branch of the Federal Gox ernâ€" ment, which places the loss at 150. - 000, 000 cords, 1ep1e~ent1n0 a loss in 11m material of irom $750,,000000 to 5.1.3me Attacks ol this insect pest haxe ceased for the present in many districts. A fuither loss of less magnitude must ensue throug the weakening of the forest trees, \\ hich rendeis it more prone to dam- '1gc by other insects. particularly by hark beetsle. The losses in Ontario Uuenec and \‘e\\ Brunsw ick from in- sects and 1‘1 om forest fi1es exceeds \er} greatl} the amount of timber annually cut. This means of course that the capital stock of our forests is being rapidly depleted. Q.â€"-I have a considerable area of farm land in Saskatchewan and wouldjike to plant a few shelter belts of trees. What growth can I expect in five to ten years? 6 inches, and ten years a height of '25 feet. Cottonwood at five years will gixe 10 feet height; Maple, 8 feet, 6 inches; Birch, 6 feet; Ash, 5 feet; and Elm, 4 feet. Coniferous trees such as Tamarack, Larch, the Spruces and Pines. grow much slow- er, although their hardiness places the latter \arietv above all others for permanency and shelter. It is a unique fact that while coniferous trees like tamarack and Scotch pine faked. ‘ relatix 01} long time to estab- lish themselvsex thev will attain a grou th in ten yea1s \arVing from 9 feet for Jack Pine, to 13 feet, 9 inch- es for European Larch. A. â€"The best answer we can give 11111 is from the actual experience of \\ estern iarmers. Rusian poplar at five years attains a height of 12 feet, b A A.-â€"â€"-It is possible, but only with the expenditure 0f considerable mon- ey and time. Better wait until fall, when the trees have shed their leaves. Transplanting then can be done with almost a certainty of suc- CCSS. Q.-â€"â€"Is it. .mssible to transplant trees from t e woods to my town pPOperty at this season of the year? Q.â€"â€"Can you give me any informa- tion as to the cost of trees when purchased in quantities by muni- cipalities for road planting? .-\.â€"-â€"â€"The Ontario Department of Highways, which is doing a great deal of tree planting along the roads tells us that the average cost per tree is $1.25. This includes all re- plz‘1cemcnts, and- every operation from and including purchase, dig- ging. transporting, planting, staking and mulching. It is further stated that the average cost of maintainingi trees along the Ontario Provincial3 Highways is about. 50 cents per tree per year for two years. This covers cost of watering and cultivation. During the third and later years the trees are usually sufficiently estab- lished to care for themselves. Dur- ing the first and second years four to five applications of water may "be necessary. The total- cost to Ontario of establishing a healthy tree along the highway is just $12.25, including everything. Qé-Has the United States suffered as much by forest fire losses as has Canada? Probably more. Much of Canada’s forest area has escaped because of its remoteness from human beings who, after all, are the chief cause of forest fires. At present the United States has 81 million acres of absoâ€"; lute desert due entirely to forest fires which killed both the timber and the soil. There are in addition 300 million acres of scrub woods, ex- tremelv poor in quality, which are ‘reproducing meagrely and cannot be used for agriculture. as the land is too thin. This is the price of human set forest fires. Canada has paid her full share, for we have about three- quarters of a million square miles on which the timber has been killed by fire. The area is mostly non- _ agricultural. Truth has nothing to fear from the future. ' APPLY TO THE Superim' Knitting Mills Limited Mount Forcstn 01ft, Girls Wanted HEMP HURDS FOR I An ‘ interesting investigation 1 fire“- cently 1carried out at the Forest Pro- ducts Laboratories of the Depart- ment of .the Interior, Canada. relates to the value of hemp hurds as-paper making material. Hemp hurds are the waste stalks 0f hemp from which the fibre has been removed. Con- siderable quantities of the hurds, at present a mere waste product, are available in Canada. Some attention1 has been been given to this subject1 in the United States, where experi- ments have been made in which the soda process was ‘used. The work at the Laboratories, however, has been directed towards the application of the sulphite process, widely used ' Canadian pulp mills for the manu- l'.1ctu1‘e of chemical 11'00111â€"311111. The results 11btained indicate that while the material lends itself in sulsliite cooking the resulting pulp ha an 11110111011 short {111111 111111 is s m“â€" shat hard to bleach. The }i1 0.1} however, is large. and the 911.1. miwht a1ilvanlageous1y be used as a . filler with pulps of longer fibre. Perhaps the greatest. objection made to caring for the woodlot is the time. it takes to produce large-sized timber. On the farm. l'lowever, there are many use? for small and medium sized forest products. and these take a comparatively short time to me- duce.
