Norman-Douglas,..President. of the '.
Federation, to- a Wetting of the
Ontario ` Conservation and .'Refer-
estation Association held • at ()wen
' Sound this spring. Dr. Douglas
has made ;a study of this problem;
has :-a definite plan for contiol-
ling the water in the land and, has
demonstrated . the .value of this
plan in Grey county.
Quoting .Dr. Douglas: "Ina re-
cent survey of a "block of 1300
aquas, miles in Southern Ontario,.
it was . found - that 80% of the,
former good' streams now' dry up
'in the summer, season. It was
' also found that in the bets of,
these' former streams land plants'
are.growing nye nereterwrilr'
.water plants were . able to survive
and that where these. streams: had •
eat through to 'bed reek,..there
w no sign of seepage fromthe
e besides. This has one mean-'
ing.. There was no water table in.
that . area or, in 'simpler language,
there was ..no''water in . the land."'
At The • Source •
"This is •a' common sense law of"
nature. Water that runs off the
surface'is not available for ground
water nourishment nor is it avail-
able for wells or springs. .This
of er . of nate e- is
true. 'Water Will run off the sur-."'
face if Nature's provisions to res-
train it are removed."
"Nature 'has planned that water:
will go.,into the ground• to serve
its. good purposes and.' that too
much of it will not race across the
surface, where it will do •harm..
Hownature does this is not a new
story to you. The shade- of the
forest canopy overhead and the
spongy forest floor combine : to
give protection "from sun and
wind, while' the little 'valleys . be-
tween the trees and the swamps
make reservoirs of heldwater that
promotes best conditions, for deep
seepage. ' Any water, that goes into
Om. ground in this way helps to
make up Nature's system of con-
trolling • water at its . source-"

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. Could you give me some
• infernratien in : regard- to using

matigel seed? I am using' a fer-
tilizer grain drill.. to sow the corn,
and also to sow the inangel seed.'
Would,you sowthe fertilizer' id„''
the same .spouts as the corn and
mangels,- or on the spouts along-
' side •the -corn' or marigel seed, or
all three, of them? Most 'of' the
soil is muck,' while some 'is mixed
with heavier soil -washed in from.
the hillsides, and according to soil
examination needs an application"

A. Answering you -F. inquiry : of

that fertilizer is sown in .all .oi
the different ways that , you have
-deaeribed]. I believe that for corn
ane a angels if you ,are not, put-
ting on more.. than 200 to 250 lbs.
per acre., you willbe perfectly safe
to let the • fertilizer run in all
spouts. For :roots where you- are
.gutting on. 500 to 600 lbs. ; per

Practice , to drill in 'froom 300 to
400,,1bs. pei< acre before the roots'
are sown. At the time they :are
seeded, •150' to 20'0 lbs. in the
row would not injure their vital-
ity, , but would greatly help in
their growth.
