ible for the planting of trees.
The farmer retains ownership
but must guard the trees from
destruction for 20 years.
Council passed the motion ask
ing for county assistance in their
program at their June meeting
held last week.
An extensive reforestation pro
gram is being carried out by
county council in North Huron,
especially .where barren land can
be bought for a cheap, price.
However, in the south where
land is much more valuable, the
county cannot afford to purchase
land to restock trees. Under this
new scheme sponsored by Us
borne, the combined cooperation
of county, township and farmer
can be effected to promote re
forestation.

Mitchell Leads Huron-Perth
Exeter. Colts Close Behind
Mitchell is red hot in the
Huron-Perth baseball league. The
Legionaires have breezed through
all their opposition to date and
they look like the team to take
the championship away from the
•powerful Clinton Colts. They
beat the Colts 11-3 early in the
season.
Ross Wright’s nine have play
ed six of the othei' ten teams in
the league and met little trouble.
Scoring 52 runs so far in the
season, .they’ve only let 14 get
by when in the field.
According to reports, the Mit
chell team is well-balanced both
offensively and* defensively. Prob
ably their strong reserve in
pitching power is responsible for
winning efforts.
Last year’s champions, the
Colts have been slow in getting
started, Along with three wins,
the heavy hitters have been held
to ,two tie games and were, beat
en by Mitchell.
Exeter’s nine shows definite
improvement over last year when
injuries hindered the club ter
rifically. With Johnny Bowman
pitching in the tough ones, Man
ager Jim ■ Fairburn hopes to
bring along young Bob Russell
and a new find, Uel Schroeder,
to keep Bowman rested. Harold
Shaw has bee relieving. >■
In meeting the weaker teams,
early in the season Manager
Faibairn ha.sjbeen able to juggle
his line-u.p to get best results
when he needs it. A major
