Mr. Purcell stated “The fanmer is consistently fac'ng danger to crops and livestock from- insects and disease, but the greatest danger to agricultural products so far, has been the removal' of too much forest growth. The water level in the soil is. sinking rapidly each year and many sections now gamble on sufficient well water to supply livestock even part of the year. Only deeply rooted crops, such as alfalfa produce a profitable cnop in these districts andI these are sometimes drought killed."

'Mr. Purcell claimed: the tree reâ€" moval and the loss of protective in- sulation of the forest bed of leaves and twigs allows the fnosbs to pene- trate and solidify the soil. When this occurs all the melting winter’s snow and most of the spring rains rush off, sweeping the thawed tfup soil down the creeks into the rivers causing widespread destruction by evasion» and floods and leaving the cultivated soil to hecome parched and crops withered from lack of mois- ture. The greatest service the young farmers of today can do for the counâ€" try of tomorrow is to plant trees; first as forest planting to retard soil washing and hold moisture for growing crops and provide wells and springs with water for supplying livestock; second, as windbreak anal shade trees to protect the farm :bui d-â€" ings and rbeautify home sul‘ro-und- ings. The original woods left plant- cd by the early settlers are fast maturing and dying and: many homeâ€" stead’s in Ontario present a mOSt dcsolate appearance, observedl Mr. Purcell. “Tree planting can add more value and beauty to the old farm than any other action junior farmers, either boys or girls, can unâ€" dertake. WEEKLY NEW-S NOTES FROM THE UNIONVILLE DISTRICT It may be paradox,” stated Mr. Purcell, “but there are more women than men in “The Men of the Trees” society which- num'oer many hundred and had its start in far off Africa among the natives creating desert-s like the Sahara 'by removal of for- ests.” The Society is providing large nursery trees at cast of removal to communities or persons where they are used“ for public planting in an effort to arouse action and! interest to the gravity of the situation.
