It is a much better financial pro­ position to have an income from a property every year or period of 10- 20 years rather than every 30-50 years as is the case when the woods is cut clean. Another vital reason why woods should not be clean cut is that the land is liable to be cleared and peo­ ple are realizing more every year that too much land is already cleared. The farmer often pastures a clean cut wood in order to secure revenue from the land. The stock browse the young trees. If the land is sandy, shallow, swamp or is on a steep hillside it will be found in the swamp, waste or barren classification rather than the valuable woodland classification. A much better method of selling woodland is to follow a selective sys­ tem. This may be a minimum diam­ eter limit or.the trees that are to be removed may be marked by blazing or daubing them with paint. This is and arc at the stage when they are putting on the maximum and also more valuable wood growth.

Progressing Favorable Following Accident James McHardy met with a painful accident during the past week on the farm of J. C. Higgins. He had driven the team into the barn-yard and was unhitching them for the noon hour. One tug was still fastened when they became frightened and jumped. Mr. McHardy was thrown down and re­ ceived a nasty cut on the arm and his arm broken between the shoulder and elbow. Medical aid was summoned and he was removed to the Listowel hospital for X-Ray. He is progress­ ing favorably. "Voice of Youth” at the Royal Win­ ter Fair The "Voice of Youth” in a double sense, will be heard at the Royal Winter Fair next month when youth­ ful orators, chosen best in the nine provinces, will compete in a contest recalling some of the features of the ancient Greek schools, the Roman forum, the medieval Troubadors and today’s contests of the Welsh Bards. Local competitions are now being conducted in all provinces with the aid of Departments of Agriculture for the selection of provincial speakers. Finals are to consist of ten-minute addresses by the young orators deliv­ ered in public at the Royal Fair. The judges, who are prominent elocution­ ists, will make their adjudication on oratorical merit, 30 points to be awarded for quality and suitability of the subject and content of the speech, and 70 points for the manner and ef­ fectiveness of delivery. This departure in the scope of the Royal has been arranged under the general plan of dedicating this year’s Fair to “Youth in Agriculture.” It was felt that the Royal could add something like a new service to the "higher education” in agriculture which has been a feature of its aim for the past fifteen years, and is mo­ tivated by the desire that the vital relationship of “Youth in Agricul­ ture” should be realized by the Can­ adian public—in other words, that the claims and aspirations of youth should be set forth by the "voice of youth” itself. The Royal’s plan is be­ ing co-ordinated with admirable work being done by the Canadian Council on Boys’ and Girls’ Club Work. Mining or Cropping the Woodlot by I. C.

Mr. Elmer Gallaher has gone north to work in the “bush. Mr. A. E. Gallaher had the misfor­ tune to lose a horse one day last week with indigestion. a a of wood and therefore higher financ­ ial returns would be secured if a sys­ tem of selective cutting were follow­ ed. The cutting of all trees on an area was proper in pioneer days when it was the intention to clear the land for agricultural crops and pasture, but it is economically wrong if it is the intention to keep an area in product­ ive woodland. There are several other reasons why owhers continue to sell wood­ land in this way. It gives substantial returns and it is the easiest method to sell a woods. Prices per acre vary from $25.00 to $200.00 per acre, de­ pending on the size of the trees, the species, the density of the stand and the available supplies of fuelwood in the district. Farmers who do not own a woodlot approve of this method, as they do all the work during the winter when other work is not press­ ing. Owners should consider carefully before they sell woodland as they re­ duce the income from a woods con­ siderably by allowing the small trees to be cut. Trees 1-5 inches in diam­ eter have a comparatively small value for fuelwood, but they have a high potential value, as they are many years old and have reached the size when they are putting on appreciable wood growth. This is shown very conclusively by a table that gives the number of trees in different classes that are necessary to yield a standard cord of fuelwood. This tables gives the following figures: 2 inches 5 inches 10 inches 15 inches 20 inches 24 inches ,170 .. 35 .. 6 „ 2.5 . 1.2 - .7' According to one authority, the things for which the industry and the fishermen have advocated for years are coming to pass. For instap.ee, $200,000 has been appropriated by the Government to increase the de­ mand for Canadian fisheries products. There is a $300,000 loan fund voted for the assistance of needy Maritime fishermen in renewing boats and gear. And there is a move afoot for social improvement that will bring more benefits to the men who go down to the sea. rlAVpRft^?* It looks like a new deal all round for the Canadian fisherman and his industry. If the advertising now be­ ing launched by the government is successful in its objectives, those in fishing circles claim that the Canad­ ian fishing industry will receive an impetus that will send it forward to a new and prosperous basis . And in this the first to benefit will be the fisherman himself. According to the "Canadian Fisherman”, a journal de­ voted to the industry, the welfare of Canada’s fisherman is recognized by all in the country as of primary im­ portance. With the increased popu­ larity of fish and greater consumption of it by their fellow citizens, the fish­ ermen of Canada are looking forward * Ready-cooked There’s no work or bother when you serve Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.
