1“ < 1",. f“ E‘ It A recent report from the Tree Planting Division. Forest Service, D9partment of the Interior, indi- cates the growing success of tree planting and the new avenues of development opened up. as a result of this work. Further and further afield word of the success of the work is being carried and requests for stock are now received from practically every part of the prairies. At present .the demand for trees is greater than it has been at any time in the twenty-seven years since the inauguration of tree tree distribution, and in 1927 these. shipments were the largest so far With a total of 7.430.000 broadleat’ seedlings and cuttings. These were sent out to over 11.000 farmers un- der the Department's co-mmrative plan. There is. every prospect that the 1927 figures will be exceeded in‘ 1928 as inspections have been made of 12.528 proposed new plantations. and trees to meet the requirements of these new applicants will be sent out next spring. To ensure success in the estab- lishment of shelterhelts active. and helpful control is exerciset‘l by the Forest Service. From early June: until freeze-up a corps of nine ex- perienced field inspectors travel continuously, inspecting proposed new plantations, advising farmers who are actually planting, and taking careful census of the planta- tions of the previous years. Inci- dentally they take note of the effect of the plantations on the social and economic life of the settler. The outstanding point has been the en- couragement given to the growing of fruits and to the buili'ling up of really attractive home surerndings by the planting nr ornamental shrub; and flowers and the setting out of lawns. The planting of trees on prairie farms In Western Canada is having an appreciably beneficial effect on the quality and variety of. agricul- tural. production in that part of the Dominion. The large and growing annual distribution of planting material made from the nursery stations of the Department of the Interior at Indian Head and Suther- land, Saskatchewan, is gradually changing the general appearance of the prairies in the provinces .of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Al- berta, and the deveIOpment of shelterbelts is being followed by the setting out of apple and small fruit orchards, gardens of fine vegetables and by the further beautification of prairie homes with shrubs, flower beds, and extensive lawns.

It is evident. that in addition to beautifying the farm and thus greatly improving the environment‘ of the prairie home. the establish! ment of shelterbeits directlv bene- fits the farmer by raising the qu l~ ity and increasing the quantity or the products of his farm. The re- sults obtained from fruit growing are most encouraging. With the further development of shelterbelt planting and the production of hardier varieties of fruits by the institutions now carrying on that. class of work. it is reasonable to expect that in the not far distant future almost every prairie farmer lwiil be raising supplies of iruit for ititifllPStiC use. ‘ Although the development of tree planting in the_ Prairie Provinces has been rapid in recent years, its rate of progress during the few years immediately following its in- auguration in 1901 was compara- tively slow. Settlers and others were very sceptical as to the possi~ bility of growing trees successfully on the prairies and although the t1 ees were to be had free only 47 farmers could be induced to set out plantations, and the total number of trees distributed in that year was but 54 800. The success of these ea: 1y plantations encouraged other fa mers to take advantage of the opportunity to beautify and im- prove their homes, and ever since there has been a gradual increase if: the demand for tree-planting s cc '. . fruits attempted. Reports to the end of August. .1927, cm‘rering 3,812 farms visited show that of this number 3,411 had good vegetable gardens; 1,258 were growing small fruits; 379 had ornamental shrubs; 265 were testing standard apples and crab apples; while 213 were growing plums.

Then it should simmer on a slow fire and the scum removed as it rises or it will settle on the meat. Scum will be found on the meat if it _is first put into cold water as many houlsewives have a habit of doing. “ Just sufficient water to cover the meat should be used and. the saucepan should be large enough only to hold the meat. The water should not be allowed to boil vio- lently. That will only make the meat tough and it will nOt cook faster.
