Land under tree growth shall be taxed on an assessment valuation on a basis comparable with that imâ€" posed on neighboring nonplanbed land of similar soil and site condi- tions. “’e have asked that this aâ€" mendment be made ontional with the County and that it come into force in such counties as would rass a by. law validating- it. The Norfolk Counâ€" ty Council has already endorsed this proposal. Educational Work With a View to inculcating in‘ the minds of our children a love for trees it is our objective to have a small demonstration woodlot in connection with each rural school. This of course is only! practicable where land can be secured at a reasonable price. Under this clause a landmvner contemplating- the planting of forest trees (or orchard) faces an annually increasing tax which no other growâ€" ing crop entails. The Norfolk Chamâ€" ber of Commerce has for years been advocating an amendment to the As- sessment Act which in effect would Work out as follows: The County Council has agreed to pay (me half the cost of additional land. Several townships have agreed to pay one quarter the cost and a government grant of $25 is avail.â€" able, on recommendation of the school inspector, for additional grounds. years for a return on the investment. (Christmas trees may bring an ear- lier return.) Several Norfolk citiâ€" zens have purchased land and have had it r‘cforested. For their enter- prise they find, themselves penalized by an increased taxation due to the increased value of the land an ac- count of tree growth. The Norfolk Chamber of Com- mere-e offered a prize of $5 in each Township for schools entering in 1936 for the best planted and1 cared for plantation. A similar prize will be given the same entrants in 1937. Also a grand prize of $25 for the best planted and cared for plantation in the County at the end of 1937. Judg- ing- will take into consideration the size of plantation, method of plant. ing, variety of trees most suitable, care and cleanliness after planting, protection from animals and percent- age of survival. County Council Activity The Norfolk Chamber of Cammerce has supported the reforestation pol- icy of the Norfolk County Council 'whereby 1,000 acres of land is now owned and planted by the County. We believe 100 acres» should be purâ€" chased and planted each year by the County until all available cheap land is taken up. Compulsory Legislation Alarmed by the ruthless destrucâ€" 1 (h‘) “Land”, “Real Property" and “Real Estate” shall include: All tree and! underwood growing upon land. A farm with a good woodlot is easier to sell and brings more money than one without. It provides fuel for the home and lumber for build: ings and repairs. It gives work in the winter, tending to relieve unemâ€" ployment. In fact the scientifically managed and properly cared for wood'lot area may be as profitable as any other part of the farm. 2. Reforestation of Waste Land This is an entirely different pro- ject from the farm woodlot. It in- volves buying up cheap land, plantâ€" ing it to trees, and waiting 20 to 25 Ever since it.1 organ mti n in 192:. the Norfolk County Chamber of Com- merce has had as one of its chief objectives, the preserv“ n and con-. servatior. of the farm woodlot and the reforestation of waste land in the County. 1. The Farm Woodlot. Except in unusual circumstances such as high priced land for garden- or fruit purposes, every farmer should aim to maintain at least 10 per cent. of his farm as a woodlot. This percentage of course will vary ‘somewhat from farm to farm. The advantage to the state in maintain- ing this percentage has been recogâ€" nized by granting an exemption from municipal taxation for fenced wood. lots up to that amount. Outside of the desirability of such» a policy from an aesthetic stand. point, the many features of which are apparent to all nature lovers, we believe the policy a commendable one from an economic standpoint.

TEMPERANCEVILLE School re-opened on Monday with Mr. Donald Frisby of Richmond Hill as the new teacher. it would seem that the gravity of the situation demands some such drastic measure. While we do not like too much pro- hibitory and compulsory: legislation the purpose of considering this ques- tion. A committee was appointed to 'il‘afi', a policyi to cope with this situ- ation and present it to the proper authorities. The committee has met and a draft bill is now being pre. pared embodying the principle of not allowing the cutting of any trees un- der ten inches, two feet from the ground. without the permission of a county forester.

Robinson, Pastor of United Church, Our Ward has 92 families of 319 members and received 64 bags of potatoes. 32 bags! of turnips, 10 bags of onions, 6 bags of cabbage, 2 bags of carrots and a few pails of honey and jars of fruit from the car. Each family was given something. Our municipality, together with adjoining mnnicinalities, has been hard hit by drought, wind', grasshop- pets and rust (1935) for the past seven years. This year our supply of garden produce is very small. On behalf of the members of this Ward each of whom received some- thing, we, the members of the com- mittee who distributed the vegetables in this Ward, express our grateful thanks to the donors who made this gift possible. We hi9:th admire the spirit behind the gift, and appreciâ€" ate the fact that. some of those who shared their vegetables with us have done so at a sacrifice themselves.
