Reforestration
Planned in Huron
A step toward the reforestation of
1,000 acres of land in Huron County
by the county council was taken fit
a meeting of the agricultural advis
ory committee of the county council
when a committee of three was nam
ed to gather complete details.
J. D. Thomas, Goderich, W. L.
Whyte, Seaforth and J. C. Shearer,
agrocultural representative, Clinton,
were named to make the survey and
report of the advisory commit
tee which will then present the plan
to the county council.
A proposal submitted by School
inspector E. C. Beacom that an acre
of land be planted in each school
section as a reforestation plan was
considered. It was proposed that the
land for such a plan be purchased
jointly by the school section, the
municipality and the county council.
Reeves Trewartha, of Clinton; Mc-
Nall, of Bly th; Scott, of Seaforth;
Armstrong, of Hay; Passmore, ofi
Usborne and Watson, of Stanley Tp.
as well as J. D. Thomas, of Goderich
s-poke in favor of the proposal. It
will be given further consideration.
The question of setting out a
block of 1,0 0 0 acres of trees was not
favored ‘by some speakers who be
lieved that planting 100 acre plots
in favorable places in each township
would provide a greater conservation
of moisture and bring more desired
results.
The committee was named to get
information, on recommendation of
L. E. Cardiff, reeve of Morris who
was chairman of the gathering and
Reeves McDonald, McNall, Frayne,
Wilson and Warden Turner.
The committee was instructed to
find where suitable plots were ob
tainable and get an expression of
opinion from the residents of var
ious townships.
The comjnittee is to meet there on
March 29.

BEAUTIFYING HOME
SURROUNDINGS
The home should be regarded as the
first centre of beauty. With beauti
ful surroundings a home is not only
a delight to those intimately connec
ted with it but also to those who tra
vel the adjacent roads and byways.
For those who have a desire to make
their home surroundings a joy to
themselves and to everybody who may
see it, the booklet “Beautifying the
Home Grounds of Canada", will
prove a helpful and encouraging doc
ument. A limited numbex* is avail
able from the Canadian Horticultur
al Council, 114 Wellington street,
Ottawa, at a nominal price of 10
cents.
The booklet has chapters on land
scape architecture, how to make a
lawn, the flowex* garden, furniture,
rock gardens, pools, the kind of
shrubs, plants, and trees that maybe
grown in the various parts of the
Dominion, with plans and illustra
tions. The time of the year is ap
proaching when the best of all pur
suits—gardening—will be in full
swing.
Argentina and Uruguay imported
about 300,000 bushels of certified
seed potatoes from Canada during
the 1938-39 season, as compared
with the corresponding season of
1937-38. During the 19 38-39 sea
son, up to the present, Canada ex
ported 23,336 boxes of apples to Ar
gentina, as against 14,360 boxes dur
ing the 1937-38 season.
GREAT? ANIDALS OF THE NORTH
There are two majestic animals of
the Canadian North that still range
the wilds and have only just es
caped extinction by the white man
with his destructive gun. , These
are the black wood bison and the
musk-ox. The black wood bison
ranges the salt plains and the bush
areas around Fort Smith; the musk
ox travels the bleak Barrens close
to the Artic Coast. There are othei*
mighty animals such as the caribou
but there are plenty of them, mil
lions of them.
The wood bison and the musk-ox
were reported not long ago as On the
verge of extinction, and the Can
adian Government took drastic act
ion. An unknown wilderness area,
the largest game preserve on the con
tinent was set aside fox* the buffalo,
and he made a remarkable come
back. The wood bison is much lar-
gex* and stroiigei* than the buffalo of
the plains and is North America’s
largest wil’d animal. There is a
mounted group of them in the Nat
ional Museum at Ottawa which is
very impressive.
Some time ago buffalo from the
prairies ‘Were shipped north and
turned loose. They immediately
adapted themselves to their new con
ditions, were absorbed by their da
tive relatives ahd the population of
the preserve is becbidldg noticeably
greater.
Salted Runways
The story of salt on the highways
begins with the late A. R. Chambers
an engixxeer of New Glasgow, Nova
Scotia. I-Ie was in search of a solu
tion for the dust nuisance when he
remembered that salt was sometimes
mixed with clay in ceramics to im
prove its drying qualities. He tried
it out on a stretch of road in Nova
Scotia and the results proved very
satisfactory. Othei* experiments
followed and today salt-stabilized
highways, already giving wonderful
service in Ontario and Quebec, are
becoming increasingly important in
the highway programmes of the
provinces.
The necessity for the provision of
adequate landing places at airports
has brought salt into the picture.
There are the, main centres and in
termediate landing places of the
Trans-Canada Air Lines as well as
other locations for commercial air
carriers which have made the ques
tion of runways of extreme impor
tance. The heavy liners require
longex* runways than was the case
a few years ago. They climb m$re
slowly and descend at a flatter angle.
The firmness of the runway is a lead
ing consideration. Edmonton affords
an excellent example of what is being
done. Recently that city purchased
165 tons of°salt to mix with the 10,
000 cubic yards of gravel which will
form the base for three runways on
the airport of Alberta’s capital city.
Each of these is 3,400 feet long and
150 feet wide. Similax* salt-stabilized
runway bases have been, or are being
installed at other airports along the
route of the Trans-Canada Aix* Lines,
notably at Calgary, Pagwa, Earlton
and North Bay.
Fertilizer Maintains Plant
In a comparatively new country
like Canada where the land has not
been cropped nearly as long as in
some other parts of the world, far
mers are learning that even the most
fertile'soil will petei* out if nothing
is done to return its fertility. The
plant food which the crops take out
of the soil must be replaced, other
wise the land will produce poorer
crops, stated Grant Peart, Plant Pro
ducts Division, Production Service,
Dominion Department of Agriculture
in a recent address Scientists found
out long ago that plant diet consists
of a dozen ox* more chemical sub
stances, and that some of these che
mical substances are required in lar-
gei* amounts than others. Nitrogen,
phosphorus, potash, calcium, Sulphur
and magnesium are known to be the
principal substances of plant food,
with nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potasli as' the most important. In
this regard, it is interesting to note
that human food, while of different
kinds, is composed of practically the
same chemical substances as foods
required by plant life. Also, human
beings, like plants, thrive largely
according to the food coxxsumd and
assimilated, and human rickets and
plant rickets have much in common;
both result in weakly and under
nourished bodies. The fact that
plant foods are consumed with great
rapidity in repeatedly cropped soils
will explain why chemical fertilizers
and natural fertilizers in the form
of manure give good results when
used on almost any soil of garden ox*
farm. ’ To ght these results the pro
pel’ fertilizei* has to be used in the
correct manner and in effective a-
mounts, because different kinds of
plants vary in their food require
ments. Foi* example, leafy plants,
such as lettuce and cabbage, do bet

ter with an abundance of nitrogen;
turnips and tomatoes respond to an
abundance of phosphoric acid, and
potatoes and othei* starch-forming-
plants prefer an unusual amount of
potash.
This tendency of some kinds of
plant life to require large amounts
of different plant foods must be ta
ken into account, as also the fact that
sandy soils are usually short of all the
plant foods and need heavier applica
tion of fertilizers than do loams and
clays. These factors of soil fertility
and crop requirements make it diffi
cult for the average person who is
unversed in fertilizers and their uses
to choose wisely from the wide range
of fertilizei* products advertised for
sale. If every buyer of fertilizer
obtained a copy of the recommen
dations of the fertilizei* council from
his Provincial Department of Agri
culture, it would help him in getting
bettei* results from fertilizer.
In using fertilizer, it should be re
membered that if farmyard manure
can be obtained, its use should come
first, as it not only supplies the es
sential plant foods but other sub
stances as well to promote plant
growth and development. The ideal
scheme of fertilization includes the
use of farmyard manure, plus the
propei* chemical fertilizers to bal
ance the plant food in the manure as
required by the different crops and
soils.
