J. A. MacRae of LOchiel, Glengarry County, President, predicts that, with fine Weather, attendance figures may reach 120,000 visitors. Many new events are being plann~ ed for this year’s match, and will be announced when the program comâ€" mittees in charge of the various sec- tions have completed their tentative arrangements Big Picnic in June The County Council of the County- of Norfolk are inviting the councils of all Southwestern Ontario counties to visit Norfolk County on the 9th of June, inspect the County’s forest plantations and then pay a visit to the Provincial Forestry Station at St. Williams. Norfolk County has 1,000 acres of various ages and will be planting more tnis‘ spring. The Forestry Station at St. Williams is one of the beauty Spots of the Prov- ince. The councillors who attend this picnic will see much of interest to themselves and to the peorwle they represent. .0 h4u_ It is understood that Simooe Coun- ty is contemplating a Similar picnic and will invite councillors from the Northâ€"western section of the Prov- ince and from east 0f Toronto. Sim- coe has around 4,500 acres of refor- ested land and the Provincial For- estry Station at Mid‘nurst is a very attractive spot. Zone Conservation Meet Representatives of the eleven east- ern counties in Ontario met at the Kemptville Agricultural School early in Api‘ii to consider the program of conservation and reforestation that now extends from one end of On- tario to the other. With t‘re excep- tion of Lanark and Renfrew, all the counties were represented by duly- elected county officials in addition to the hgricultural representatives. Re- presenting the Departments of Agri- culture and Forestry were: Messrs. R. S. Duncan, M. C. MacPhail, E. J.1f1'01 Zavitz, Arthur R. Richardson andiiapp Geo. Linton. James C.

The wood- lands or woodlots could be made to yield a good income if they receive more attention. rGazing by live stock and burning probably do more damage to farm woodlands than any other agencies; and the foresters therefore rec;m« mend fencing off the farm woodland from live stock and taking pn‘ticu~ lar care to see that fire does not burn over the woods. Pastur'mg a woodland tends to trample the litter or duff under the forest trees, packs the soil so that runoff and erosion are encouraged and prevents the growth of the new crop of trees which comes up under" normal conditions to replace the trees that are harvested. Such treatment of a woodland also reduces the ac- tual growih of trees themselves be- ‘cause abnormal conditions are brought about. Woodlands do not require the samef sort of care as orchards, but farmers‘ who want to obtain most profitable returns from their woods will need to give the trees some attention. In stead of cutting out the best trees for lumber too soon, and allowing the scrub and cull trees to remain, the faster-growing, quality trees shOuld be given an opportunity to ‘mature and the poorer trees should be cut out and add for fuel, fence posts, pulpwood or other products as opportunities occur. A few scrub trees may be allowed to remain in a woodland if they provide food and shelter for various forms of wood- During the past several years more than one farmer has paid his taxes and obtained extra cash by sale of lumber products, and has discuvmeu l that a wellâ€"maintained woodland is because wild-life is a valuable woodland crop. fiWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER Woodlot Valuable r, 13, 14 and 15, recent meeting wmen's Associa- Jspices the meet ochiel, Gleng‘arry i ‘ediets that, with ‘ mce figures may: 5. are being plann~i itch, and will be i a program comâ€"4 the various secâ€"t 1 their tentative in June ii of the County" ,ing the councilsl Ontario countiesi inty on the 9th County’s forest 1 pay a visit to stry Station at olk County has us ages and will ms spring.

This decisiOn was reached in Toronto recently by a Joint Cost Committee composed of representatives of the organized milk 'producers of Ontario, the Economics Branch, Dominion Department of Ag- riculture, Ottawa, and the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph. More than 1600 milk producers are at preâ€" sent registered in the project for the year ending June :90, 1937. These dairymen are keeping a record of their business and at the end of the year the books will be collected in Ottawa for analysis. Complete re- ports based on the record will then be prepared and mailed to each co- operator. This study is the iargest 0f its kind ever conducted in Canada and is be- ing carried out so that dairymen may gain a definite idea of the ecst of producing milk.
