In 1931 the urban pop- ulation had increased to 2,096,000, but the rural population was only 1,â€" 336,000, or 39 per cent of the total. The number of occupied farms in the same sixty years showed an increase from 172,000 to 192,000, while the size of the average farm rose from 93.8 acres to 118.9. These two 'changes indicate a decrease in size of the farm family and an increase in the total area of occupied land from 16,162,000 acres to 22,841,000 acres. The area improved, however, showed a much greater percentage gain, rising from 8,834,000 acres to Rural Population During the past sixty years the in- crease in populuation‘ in Ontario has been chiefly in the category desig- natett urban.

Areas For Ontario Ontario farmers are becoming in- creasingly conscious of the necessity of elimtinatdmg bovine tuberculosis from their herdls. A few years ago there was open hostility in many counties to the restnicted area plan fostered by Ontai‘io and Federal Governments, but this opposition has gradually been swept away until now there are fifteen counties in Ontario in the restricted area list, Grey, Sim- coe, Lanark, Victoria and Peterbor- ough counties have signed up for tests while petitions are being circu- lated in Lenmox and A‘d‘dlingtcn, Hast- ings, Wentwor’oh, Norfolk. Rainy River, Lincoln, ESSex, Welland and Bruce. Following educational meetings in Two meetings have been held in Elgin coulnty, one at Port Burwell, the other at Aylmer. Mr. F. S. Thomas, agricultural representative, is in charge of the campaign for in- structing farmers about the plan. The western part of the county will be canvassed later. Waterloo county is proceeding early next month to have cattle owners canvassed. Reforestation Planting or Natural Reproduction By I. C. Mar-ritt There has been an intense inter- est in conservation and reforestation the past two years in Southern 0n- tario. It is realized by many think- ing people that too great a percent- age-of the land has been cleared in the fine agricultural sections, and there are many thousands acres of sub-marginal lands that are growing practically nothing of value, but fair financial returns would be received if trees were growing. Much of this poor land has to 'be planted as there are no seed trees. Floods are liable to occur on many of the rivers and creeks, wells and springs go dry,_ and winds have an open sweep, thus making it more difficult to grow agricultural crops. cw Reforestation is a neceSSity in On- tario. The method and the agency that should do the work should be determined. Many think only of planting when reforestation is men- tioned. They do not realize that re- forektation includes natural repro- duction. An area can be reforested naturally ‘if there are trees growing on or adjacent to .the area that is to be reforested. Tree seeds ripen on the tree and fall to the ground. Some of thesevge‘rmdnate and a small tree has started to grow. It will grow into a large tree if it is protected from stock and fire, and if it sur- vives bhe competition of other trees The cost of reforestatiOn by nature is negligible when compared to plant- ing. The cost to the farmer is the loss of pasture and the fence to keep the stock out. Planting includes these and also nursery and planting costs. Another advantage of natural seeding is that 'it is more sure. This is especially true of poor sites. Trees will start and grow well on shallow soils, while it is very difficult to se- cure a stand {by planting. Deciduous trees require fairly close spacing (3- An advantage of planting over na- tural reproduction .is that only valu- able species may be grown, while the valuable and weed species grow in the woods that reproduces from seed. The reproduction: of the valuable spe- cies in a woods can be secured by removing the weed trees and leaving the more valuable to seed up the open places. The more valuable species would also be favoured in thinnings. 4‘feet) and the cost of planting at this spacing is very high. Many tree seeds .fell and' were blown around last fall and during the wflnter. Other species will have seed THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO FOR THE BUSY FARMER ripening in early summer. Many of these seeds will germinate and they would grow into trees if the field is protected from fire and stock. Farmers who are fortunate to have woodland on the farm» should plan to do their part in refm‘estation by 'fencing at least from stock. Many have only a few acres left and they think that it, is hardly worthwhile._ ‘But even an acre of woodland will be a reservoir that will help to keep water in springs and wells. Preparing Report Milk Cost Production Carried on jointly by the Econom- ics Brainch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, and the Ontario i Agricultural College, Guelpl‘pJ thel technical work of the Farm Manage- ment and Millk Cost Project is (being promoted as rapidly as possible. This study was initiated by the organized milk producers of Ontario and was made possible by the cloaoperation of . 1,673 farmers located in all the ag-: ricuiltural sections of Ontario. Thes-e‘ farmers kept complete records of i ‘tlheir farm business for the year end- 'ing July 1, 1937. The field staff} :visited eacheo-operator to assist inl ,keeping the records, and‘ again, at! ' the year end, to check all details and ‘to make sure that the amounts were :complete. Eight hundred completed farm ac- counts have been received at the Otâ€" tawa office, and a representative group of completed account records had been secured from practically ev- ery Coulnty of Old Ontario, along with several records from producers who sell to the Whole milk markets of Northern Ontario towns and cities. The field staff began to collect re: cords in July, 1937, and cOmpleted the task in January, 1938. The farm account records which have been assembled, provide detail- ed information relative to milk pro- duction costs, along with a complete statement comceming the receipts and expemses of the whole farm busi- -..r V“ ness. It will be possible, for this reason, to prepare a report concern- ing milk production costs in all 10- calities and for all types of markets and, also, to present a full state- ment relative to the success or other- wise, of the Whole dairy farming business on each farm. The farm management phases of the study vw'll provide information relating to proâ€" duction yields per unit and will be particularly valuable as an aid to dairymen in increasing the net reve- nue of their farms.
