Favourable Future for Export Trade
FOR 1952 AS A WHOLE, "export trade
should continue in good volume and may run
moderately ahead of last year," says the Bank
of Montreal lin its katest usiness Review,
devoted this month to an analysis of. Canada's
trade picture for 1951 and the prospects for
the year ahead. While pointing to "elements
of uncertainty," the B of M regards it as
Probable that "Canada's over-all deficit in
trade goods .and services should this year be
measurably smaller than in the year just
passed."
The first half of 1951. began, the bank re-
calls, with the unexpected reappearance of a
"very large adverse balance of commodity
trade with our nearest neighbor." But, in the'
second half of the year, the merchandise deficit
in trade with the USA "narrowed rapidly"
and "exports to all countries ran substantially
in excess of total imports, thus completely re-
versing the earlier and. rather disturbing
picture."
The sharp reversal of the balance or trade
with all countries was caused, in large measure,
the B of M states, by a "further upturn in
an already rising export curve" and by a
"clearly defined break in the formerly buoy-
ant course of imports." This improved trade
balance accounted, hi part, for the gradual
strengthening of the Canadian dollar in the
second half of-the year.
Reforestation from Seed in Farm Woodlots

THERE IS GENERAL AGREEMENT that natural seeding is not composed of the more

in Southern Ontario that are only suitable for The practise of grazing is responsible for
growing trees. These sub-marginal agricultural the absence of seedlings, saplings and small
lands include light sand, shallow soils, stony trees in many farm woodlots, The stock browse
soils, swamps and steel hillsides, the seedlings and saplings, break down the
saplings and injure the roots of the larger
trees. The small woodlot eventually disappears
if it is pastured yearly. It may last fifty to
a hundred years, but most of them disappear
in a few decades.
This spring and summer tree seeds will
be germinating in the woodlots and many of
these tiny seedlings would grow to be valuable

_Farmers will be keeping the value of their
farms higher by preserving a woodlot because
a farm with a woodlot will bring a better
price than one with the entire acreage clear-
ed,, ever if the farm is • all good agricultural
soils. Even if we did not benefit directly we
should be unselfish enough to preserve a
woodlot for the benefit of future owners and
in the interests of conservation.
The necessity of Reforestation is apparent,
and the provincial government, county councils,
township councils and private owners are
spending money on planting trees each spring.
Most people think only of planting when Re-
forestation is mentioned. They do not realize
that the larger percentage of reforestation in
Southern Ontario is from seed that drops from
the trees in a woodlot. Practically all the
reforestation inNorthern Ontario is from nat-
ural reproduction rather than planting.
Reforestation from natural reproduction is
much cheaper and is surer than by planting.
This is especially true on certain sites such as
shallow soil, stony ground, swamps and heavy
clay soils.
The first requisite of natural seeding is
seed trees and they should be of the more
valuable species, and the reason that large
areas have to be planted is that there are
practically no trees on the area that is to be
reforested. Much of the reforestation from
