Huron County was one of three
counties to present briefs jto the
select committee of the Ont
ario Legislature on conservation
which met in Listowel Wednes
day last. The others were Perth
and Bruce.
With Fletcher S, Thomas, M.
L.A. for Elgin, acting as chair
man, the committee started a
series of meetings at Guelph on
Monday of last week and will
continue at .centres throughout
the province, concluding about
October 17 in the vicinity of
Ridgetown. From Listowel the
study of conservation moved to
Walkerton o*n Thursday and' Bar
rie on Friday.
Other members of the commit
tee are T, R. Dent, Oxford; S,
J. .Hunt, Renfrew North; T, H.
Isley, Waterloo South; C. E.
Janes, Lambton East; E. B. Jol-
liffe, York South and leader of
the CCF official opposition; ,N.
E. McMillan, Kent East; Farqu-
had Oliver, Grey South, Liberal
leader; and O. F. Villeneuve,
Glengarry.
The Huron County brief was
presented by Harry Strang of
the Crop Improvement Associa
tion. Delegates were: soil de
pletion, Elmer Robertson, of the
same organization; E. J. Far-
rish, chairman, 'County Council;
W. R. Dougall, county weed in
spector; Russel Knight, Fede
ration of Agriculture; , Harry
Dougall, Junior Farmers; re
forestation, Cliff Rowland,
'County Council forestry commit
tee; W. A. G. Thurston, zone
forester; Murray Johnston, for
estry committee; Wilfred Short
reed, Federation of Agriculture;
George Robertson, Junior Farm
ers; Wilfred Glazier, Clinton
Fish and Game Club; ,R. G. Ben
nett, agricultural representative;
flood control and drainage, W. T.
Cruickshank, Wingham Chamber
of Commerce; John Armstrong,
warden; Rhys 'Pollock, .Wingham
Chamber of Commerce; Bob Mc
Gregor, Federation of Agricult
ure.
Mr. Strang pointed out that
the brief was divided into three
sections, dealing in order with
soil depletion, flood control, and
drainage and reforestation. .He
said county authorities feel that
developing new methods of con
serving soil is not as necessary
as educating farmers to concen
trate on tried and proven meas
ures.Best methods for dealing
with soil depletion includ,e crop
rotations and plowing down of
grass and clover .crops.
Encouragement of a good
practical soil program by the
Ontario Crop Improvement As
sociation was suggested. Accord
ing to the .brief, the main prob
lem is keeping .soils in proper
physical condition by addition of
plenty of organic matter. Demon
strations should be .conducted by
an agency on good practical
farms. The delegation attributed
lack of soil building in many
cases to lack of .funds for proper
amounts of seed ■ for seeding
down.
A curb was urged on .the prac
tice of allowing farms to be
bought by urban workers for liv
ing quarters. In most .such cases
buildings and land have deter
iorated with resultant sharp de
clines in production.
Another practice deprecated
was that found where individ
uals rent farms, take as much
from the land as possible, then
move on to other areas. This
should be curbed and the family
farm idea encouraged, according
to the brief. It was suggested
that more land-use surveys
should be made, particularly on
rundown and abandoned farms,
or where productivity is low.
One main cause of soil deple
tion in Huron County is weeds.
Urging revision of the Weed
Control Act to give more author
ity to the county weed inspector,
officials wanted eradication of’
brush from pasture fields as
well as more weed control. More
education on weed identification
and control should be taught in
primary and secondary schools.
Clean Seed
■Stressing the need of clean
seed on every farm, the brief re
commended to the development
of suitable incinerators to be in
stalled at all government-inspect
ed seed-cleaning plants and mills.
Consideration was also suggested
for income tax exemption on
costs incurred by farmers for
bulldozing on farms for removal
of thorn trees, brush and stones.
Dealing with flood control,
Huron County recommended a
survey of the Maitland River,
With a view of relieving the
water-shed condition, particular
ly around the town of Wingham.
A committee was favoured to
study the possibility of closing
or partly closing some municipal
drains and to consider the feasi
bility of erecting small dams to
act as reservoirs. Intensive study
of the problem of gully erosion
on the Lake Huron shore line
was urged, with the aim of ini
tiating a practical program to
control the problem.
According to the brief, imme
diate steps should be taken to
carry out various drainage sur
veys to prevent the draining of
natural water reservoirs, such as
swamps, ponds, and streams.
Reforestation Urged
Turning to reforestation, Mr.
Strang said the amount of farm
woodlots and plantations leaves
much to be desired. According
to a 1941 census, only 8.3 per
cent of the1 county is classified
as woodland. The recommended
figure is 20 per cent. One of the
main factors contributing to ex
tinction of woodlots is the prac
tice of pasturing of livestock in
wooded areas. Young growth is
eaten and trampled, while stock
also injures large trees by
trampling the soil around the
roots. It is believed that if cat
tle were stopped from running
in bushes, there would be a
marked improvement in the
woodlot condition.
Reforestation A dvantages
Depletion of wooded areas is
affecting water levels. The coun
ty delegation recommended edu
cational work to teach farmers
the advantages of reforestation
and woodlot management. The
Department of Education was
urged to give consideration to
the teaching of forest conserva
tion as part of the curriculum
in Ontario public schools. Other
recommendations included more
discussion of farm forestry prob
lems in farm forum programs
and that counties and the pro
vince share equally the cost of
erecting an eight-strand wire
fence for a woodlot owner. This
latter recommendation would not
include posts or labour.
The brief called for the
amount of woodland that can be
exempted from taxes to be in
creased to fifteen acres in every
100 acres; and recommended
that if a good bush is present,
on a farm, a purchaser of that
place should foe able to secure
financial assistance at low in- | terest rates so he would not
,have to sacrifice the bush to
help meet the capital investment.
A committee of more oi* less
permanent nature was recom
mended to study all phases of
soil conservation.

Herefords Descended
From Single Cow
AU Hereford cattle are de
scended from one cow left by a
farmer in Britain as a legacy
250 years ago. Benjamin Tom
kins received this animal as the
only bequest from his father. He
fixed the breed into the type now
known as “Whitefaces” in every
continent and this one cow thus
inherited has produced the herds
now to foe ‘found throughout the
world.
