Nur- sery stock was sent back â€"â€" and brought the disease with it. 7:..- Maple Experiments Help Planning Demonstration Lecture On Small Holding Landscaping Improve Lumber Quality In a greenhouse atop a rolling hill near Maple. a 52-yearâ€"old Russian-born tree breeder is con- stantly carrying on experimems to make the quality of Ontario lum- ber the best in the world. Dr. Carl Heimburger of the On- tario Lands and Forests Departâ€" ment says this province is a step ahead of the rest of the world in its study and production of disease- resistant white pine. Leaving Russia when the revolu- tion broke out, Heimburger stud- ied forestry in Denmark and Fin- land, then came to Canada in 1925. After graduating in forestry from the University of Toronto, he got his doctor's degree at Cornell Un- iversity and, five years ago, join- ed the Lands and Forests Depart- ment. “My problem was to deveIOp a strain of white pine resistant to 7-17 ’r‘r rm: and weevils," he re- calls. “Blister rust is a disease native to Siberia. It grows there on the stone pine, wild gooseber- ries and currants." Sent.To Europe Since Canada’s white pine was so valuable, it was exported to Eurâ€" ope where the disease spread until Genetics experts searched North America f0r disease-resistant strains of the pine and finally found the only plantation of its kind in the world at the Signory of Lotbiniere in Quebec. “The grandfather of the present Seignor had started a plantation of black walnuts and imported white pine stock from Germany (to protect the walnuts from the cold winds). The pine was heavily infected,” Dr. Heimburger said. When government ofiicials ord- ered him to destroy the trees, the Seignor chased them off the plan- tation. Of the 500 trees he brought in ther were only 40 left in 1939. Of these, 36 finally survived, but they were entirely resistant to the infection. Seeds were obtained from the 36 trees. They were planted amid wild gooseberries and deliberately infected with blister. But the seedlings proved outstanding.

Grafting Important Grafting plays an important part in the production of seed. “Scions” or slips of resistant trees are refrigerated and then grafted onto “active” seedlings. It takes about a year for the joint to heal- Dr. Heimburger's Outdoor graft- ing methods are copied in many other countries. He says it is nOW a simple operation. but “I spoiled hundreds of trees before I found out just how to perform the oper- ation successfully.” Right now. Dr. Heimburger IS giving some four-year-old grafts “the business” â€" infecting them With blister to test their resist- ance. “We haven’t got the weevil prob- blem licked yet,” he says, “but I'm quite sure we are leaving no stones unturned. If there‘s a cure we‘ll find it." Assessment *Act Outmoded Now Speaker States The present assessment act in Ontario is 100 years old and should be revised to meet modern condi- tions, York County Assessor told a meeting of the directors of the county Federation of Agriculture held in Newmarket last Wednesâ€" day night. Assessment also came under fire from Frank Brumwell, secretary of Markiham Township Fedreation of Agriculture. He opened the dis- cussion by reading some figures from the schedule of Values and \ssessments of the County of York for 1949' which showed that farm assessments were about three times as much per dollar value than that of the small lot owner; this meant that farms were paying much more than their share of the cost. 01 edâ€" ucation, he claimed. Mr. Mogg who is at present re- experiences as an assessor, and his method of assessing farm and ur- ban properties; he stated that he thought only the farm house and 1 acre of land should be assessed for educational purposes; he also claimed that real estate could not carry the heavy cost of eduCation and thought the Govenment should carry a larger share.
