Diversification
In a study of the many different crop producing area?
of Canada, several areas stand out. One in particular
is Southwestern Ontario — Famous for its Variety of
cash crops . . . and its properous farmers.

Hos-
Mr,
Southwestern Ontario farmers don’t put all their
eggs in one basket, so—when weather, insect pests
or market crashes strike out one or more crops,
others are. there to fill the gap.
In planning crop rotations, farmers would do well to
remember there is one crop that stands out unequalled
. . . SUGAR BEETS . . . the reliable cash crop I
IMPORTANT-
Check all the market forecasts for next fall
(they’re on the market page of your daily newspaper)
and note expected prices for crops you will
produce this year. ,

Periodic examinations of driv
ers and cars would reduce traf
fic accidents, Tom Pryde, M.'L.A.
for Hu^on, told the Ontario Leg
islature last week.
“Why not have,
centres established
■the province where
check can be made,
cars tested for mechanical de
fects and competent examiners
on hand to test your driving
ability,” the member asked.
“The Ontario provincial police
could make ’spot checks’ at any
time and require the driver to
report to one of these centres
for examination. It could be done
courteously and with every ef
fort being made to accomodate
the person who has been stopped.
“The penalty for failure to re
port for examination as arranged
would be cancellation of driving
privileges.”
Recommends Rural Area.
Supporting Huron County’s In
dustrial Promotion Board, Mr.
Pryde recommended that some
thing be done to spread indust
rial development to rural areas
of the province.
Light industry would find a
good supply of labor, “ideal”
living conditions, no traffic prob
lems, modern schools and plenty
of. recreation facilities.
Mr. Pryde told the members
of the house of the county’s pro
motion board: “The various
municipalities in Huron County
have organized an industrial ad
visory board on a county-wide
basis. Townships as well as towns
and villages are co-operating.
“Their duties will consist of
correlating all information as to
a county labor pool, existing in
dustries, housing situation, na
tural advantages and all other
information required by indust
rial prospects”.
Expect Action
Referring to the Pinery, Mr.
Pryde said: “We anticipate de-

The Huron member lauded 4-H
club work. “The organisation of
this work is jn the hands of the
agricultural representatives and
entails a tremendous amount of
work. In Huron, both the repre
sentative and his

Not Equal
A large .
venue of the province is not paid
by the average citizen, Mr. Pryde
noted. He observed that resi
dents of the province did not pay
taxes in equal proportion.
Two examples are gasoline and
liquor, he stated. The $103,000,-
000 from gasoline and motor
vehicle licenses was paid only by
those- persons who used cars. The
$45,000,000 in Liquor Control
Board revenue was another ex
ample. “We don’t have to Con
tribute to provincial revenue in
this way if we choose not to.”

Co - operation of citizens in
planting trees along town streets
was requested by town council
Monday night.
Council seeks to prevent plant

do not grow well on streets and
whose roots clog drains.
Members endorsed the recom

Stuart Hamilton, of Stratford^
who advises white ash, Norway

sugar maple or elm for street
trees.

Ih recommending the best
trees, the zone forester warned
against others. The willow is a
poor choice for street planting
because it hangs low and spreads
broadly. The silver maple is
very susceptible to breakage by
wind and snow and poplars are

Sewer lines,
Mr. Hamilton’s report gives
these pointers On planting;
'"the trees one selects should
be healthy and vigorous. Trees
grown in a well-established local
nursery are preferable to wild
ons. If Wild ones are chosen the
open-grown specimens are hard
ier and easier to dig than stock
in dense woods.
“Trees should be planted in
the early spring or fall When
they are more or less dorment.
Fail planting may invite severe
freezes Or dry winds.
“In digging the hole, the good
topsoil BhOuld be set aside and
saved for back filling, In heavy
soils, a mature of one-third top-

is one-third topsoil, one-third

cases it is not advisable to use
mineral fertilizers,
“In transplanting the tree,
cover all roots with damp burlap,
moist soil or leaves to keep them
from drying after the tree has
been lifted. Whenever possible,
move trees on calm, cloudy days
to reduce root drying,
“Trees should be planted as
soon as possible after lifting. As
soon as planted pour in several
gallons of water.
“Wounds from pruning or
other injury, if more than a
square inch in area, should be
dressed with special asphalt base
tree paint or shellac to hasten
healing and reduce the possibili
ty of decay.
