Farm News Rural Population During the past sixty years the increase of population in Ontario has been chief-ly in the category designated urban. In 1871 the ur­ ban population numbered 356,000 and rural population 1,265,000 or 78 per cent, of the .total, In 1931 the urban population was 2,096,000 but the rural population was only 1,336,000 -or 39 per cent, of the tot­ al. 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 T-ose from 93.8 acres to 118.9. These tw.o changes indicates a decrease in the size of the farm family and an- increase in the total area of occu­ pied land from 16,162,000 acres to 22,8-41,000 acres. The area improv­ ed however, showed a mu'ch greater percentage gain, rising from 8,834,- 000 acres to 13,273,000. T. B. Areas for Ontario Ontario farmers are becoming in­ creasingly -conscious of the necessity of eliminating bovine tuberculosis from their -herds. A few years ago there was open hostility in many counties to the restricted area plan fostered by Ontario and Federal Governments, but this opposition has gradually been swept away until now there are fifteen counties in Ontario in th restricted area list, Grey, Sinfcoe, Lanarw, Victoria and Peterborough counties have signed up for tests while petitions are being circulated in Lennox, and Adding­ ton, Hastings, Wentworth, Norfolk, Rainy River, Lincoln, Essex, Wel­ land and Bruce. Following educational meetings in Oxford county, petitions are being signed rapidly; a complete canvass is being made in Middlesex. Brant county held a meeting last week to discuss application to colunty coun­ cil to have Brant made a T. B. Re­ stricted Area. Haldimand County Council has asked the Live Stock Improvement committee to hold meetings and distribute application forms. Two meetings have been -held in Elgin county, one at Port Burwell, the other at Aylmer. Mr. F, S. Tho-mas, 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.

Maiiitt There has been an intense inter­ est in conservation and reforestation the past two- years in Southern On­ tario. It is realized by many think­ ing people that too great a percent­ age of the land -has been cleared in the fide argicultural sections, and there are many thousand acres of sub-marginal lands that are grow­ ing practically nothing of value, Embarrassing Pimples Caused By Impure Blood Banishes Bad Blood Then No More Pimples A Yr MILBURN CO., LTD; PRODUCT in (the the work Many think but fain financial returns would be received if trees were growing. Miwch 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, thlus making it difficult to grow agricultural crops. Reforestation is a necessity Ontario. The method and agency that should do should be determined, only of planting when reforestation is mentioned, They do not realize that i ©forestation includes natural reproductions. An area can be refor­ ested naturally if there are trees growing on or adjacent to the area that is to be reforested. Tree seeds ripen on the trees and fall to the gro-und. -Some of these germinate 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 survives the competition of othei* trees. The course of re’forestration by nature is negligible when companed to planting, The cost to the farmer is the loss of pasture and the fence to keep the stock out. Planting in- , eludes hese and also nursery and i 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 secure a stand by plant- (ing Deciduous trees require fairly close spacing (3-4 feet) and the cost of planting at this spacing is very high. An advantage of planting over natural reproduction is that only valuable species may, toe grown, while the valuable and weed species grow in the woods that reproduces from seed. The reproduction of the valuable species in a woods can be secured by removing the weed trees and leaving the more valuable to seed u-p the open places, valuable species would vourable in thinnings. Many tree seeds blown around last the winter. 'Other seed ripening in Many of these seeds will germinate and they would grow into trees if the field is protected from fire and stoick. .Farmers who are fortunate tot have woodland on the farm sholuld plan to do their part in reforesta­ tion by fencing at least from stock Many have only a few acres left and they think that it is hardly worth­ while. Blut even an acre of woodland will help in controlling floods, and will be a reservoir that will help- to keep water in springs and wells. The more also be fa- and were and during fell fall species will have early summer. preparing Report Milk Cost production -Carried on jointly by the Economic Branch, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa and the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, the technical work of the Farm Manage­ ment and Milk Cost Pix)ject is being promoted as rapidly as possible. This study was initiated by the organized milk producers of Ontario and was made possible by the co-operation of 1,673 farmers located in all the agricultural sections of Ontario. These farmers kept complete re­ cords -of their farm business for the year ending, July 1, 1937. The field staff visited each co-operator to as­ sist in keeping-3 records, and again, at the year end, to- check all details and to make sure that the accounts were complete. Eight (hundred completed farm accounts have been recived at the Ottawa office, and a representative group of completed account records has been secured from -practically every County of Old Ontario, along with several records from producers who sell to the whole milk markets of Northern Ontario' towns and cit­ ies. The field staff began to collect records in July 1937, and completed the task in January, 193 8. The farm account records which have been assembled, provide de­ tailed information .relative to milk, production costs, along with a com­ plete statement concerning the re­ ceipts and expenses of the whole farm business. It will be possible, for this reason, to prepare a report concerning milk production costs in all Idealities and for all types of markets and, also, to present a full statement relative to the success or otherwise, -of tihe whole farming business on each farm. T.he farm management phases of the study will provide information relating to production yields per unit and be particularly valuable as an to dairymen in increasing the revenue of their farms. GODERICH TOWNSHIP HOME IS DESTROYED Fire, presumably originating from an -overheated smoke flue, complete­ ly destroyed the frame dwelling of Daniel Reiger, 16 th concession, Go­ derich Township. The occupants . were awakened by smoke -spreading throwgh the hoiuse. A call for as­ sistance brought the neighbors to the scene and the greater portion of th© contents were saved, The dwell­ ing was burned to the ground. Mr, Reger’s loss is covered by insurance. He who searches for praise sel­ dom finds it. The W. C. T, V. met at the home of Mrs. W. C. Pearce on Thursday March I7th. Miss Hogarth led the Devotional period, reading us the Scripture reading, Romans 12th chapter. After our song service a number' led -in prayer. Mrs. Abbott, president then took- charge, it was decided to send $2.00 from oui‘ union to Toronto for the Willard Hall Annex Memorial Fund in mem­ ory of Mrs. Ward, late Dominion president. Cottage meetings have been held iunder the direction of our union for some weeks past and will be continued. These meetings are inspirational and all are wel­ come, men as well as women. Mrs. Pearce read a '"Why” leaflet which follows in part: Why—if tobacco is not injurious does the life insurance companies wish to know whether the insuring applicant smokes? Why does the surgeon, contemplat­ ing a serious operation asks whether the patient smokes? Why are athletes in training forbidden to smoke? Why do smokers, as a rule, advise others not to smoke?

Arrangements were made to serve meals for the meeting of the Huron Presbyterial of the W. M. S. on April 26t>h. The Temperence secretary, Mrs. Walker, read a clip­ ping proving the subtle way in which the liquor business is advertised. A Toronto magistrate imposed a of $1,000 on a liquor firm sending out Christmas cards on inside of which were tihe names prices of liquors, which is contrary to the Liquor Control Act. The fine was paid. Mrs. C. W. Christie took the chair for the devotional period and was assisted by Mesdam- es Snell, Mantle, Francis, Moise, Southcott and Treble. Mrs. Ro-ul- ston gave the Devotional Leaflet en­ titled “The World-Wide Church,” followed by iprayer by Mrs. Miners. A ladies’ quartette sang a selection which was much appreciated. Mrs. J. <M. Southcott then introduced the 5th chaptei’ of the .Study Book and called upon Mrs. Carey and Mrs. Heywood wiho presented it in a very interesting manner.

HIS TROUSERS BURN UP AS HE PLAYS HOCKEY A modern counterpart of that item of anicient history which records ■that “Nero fiddled while Rome burned” was enaleted recently in the Clinton Arena on th occasion of a hockey .game. One of the players when changing into hockey togs in the dressing room, hung his trousers too close to the coal heater, and wlhile the period was in progress -‘he played hockey while his trousers burned.’ CONDEMNS SCHOOL Built in 1.899, -the school holuse of S. S. No. 6, Fulla'rton, known as Gould’s School, has been inspected by Mr. George White, Provincial Architect. It appears that the walls of the school have buckled, through the heaving of foundation walls and the school has been reported by the provincial architect as unsafe for occupancy. T.he architect recom­ mends that a new school be built to replace the presnt structure. This is a comparatively new -school, as school houses go, and it appears that the foundation walls were not plu.t to a proper depth when the building was erected, the Dost get­ ting beneath them and bulckling the walls as the frost went cut of the ground.

You see, he’s the Test Man in a telephone central office. It’s his job to find trouble before it troubles you. Switches and dials tell him where trouble may hit. Then he sends a repairman to fix it. Very often he can catch it before it hits your service and you never realize that trouble threatened your line. Telephone people spend a lot of time and money to keep your service free from mechanical failures. But some people have telephone troubles of another kind. They waste time and effort—even lose sales and customers — due to inadequate telephone facilities or the wrong equipment to meet the peculiar needs of office, home, store, or factory,. Why not let us study your telephone problems and check your facilities? There’s no obligation. Reductions in telephone rates — local and long distance — in 1935, ’36 and ’37 have effected savings to telephone users in Ontario and Quebec of nearly one million dollars yearly^ Geo. W.
