Deputy Travel Minister Torn Mc-
Call said more resorts, particularly in
the Muskoka area, are staying open in
the winter. Ski tows aud other. full-
ities are available and this has proved
a magnet, particularly to people front
the States bordering Ontario. One
small advertisement in a Detroit paper
produced 260 inquiries alone.
Mr. McCall said, "we are now get-
ting a lot of the business that , former-
ly went to Quebec, and, if the trend
continues, operators . who formerly
took their own holidays in the slack
winter months, will be working the
year round to keep up with the de-
mand. "With all the natural advan-
tages nature has so bounteously sup.
plied in this Whrghem district, it
wouldn't be very difficult to build up
a profitable winter tourist business
here if we had artificial ice, a ski tow

TREES AND CONTOUR
OWING VALUABLE
Ontario farmers who recently at-
riensied their annual series of lectures
kehl in connection with meetings of
Idise Ontario Crop Improvement As-
sociation, had the importance of trees
zutgll contour plowing impressed on
'Miens by Wilfred 5. Schnetter, Baden
firmer. He outlined soil conservation
-ftsls and demonstrations in Waterloo
Comity, where experiments have been
ismtried on for several years.
Mr. Schneller told members of the
assoelation that trees on country
snarls not only helped to prevent heavy
noose drifting, but acted as a wind-

He also told fellow farmers about
cont ,nir plowing demonstrations in
Waterloo, the first of which was held
iu 1943. Since 1947 the county has
been holding contour matches, just to
prove what can be done, and also as
an example to farmers who still think
no matter which way it runs on the
matter which way it runs on a hillside.
Demonstration plots have been set
up in Waterloo to show agriculturists
what happens when plowing, planting
and other work in fields does not fol-

dividends.

SOIL-SAVING WORK IS
"SOIL-BUILDING"
At the series of meetings and lectur-
ers held by the Ontario Crop Improve-
most Association recently in the King-
Edward lintel, Toronto, one of the
speakers was Prof. G. N. Relinke dire
ector of research at the -Ontario Agri-
cultural College. He went one step
further and termed soil-saving work
"soil-building," rather than conserva-
tion,
Prof. Ruhnke told of experiments
in Michigan which showed that organ-
ic matter added to soils disappeared
rapidly, with, as little as 82 per cent
left at the end of two years. He said,
"the more you cultivate and stir any
soil, the more air and oxygen enters
the pore spaces and speeds up the oxi-
dization or burning up of the organic
matter by soil microbes."
Clean, cultivated row crops tended
toward rapid burning up of organic.
matter, whereas planting ,tech crops
only every four or five years in the
rotation scheme would cut down oxidi-
zation. Prof. Ruhnke said, and added
that one of the best soil builders was
a sod crop, Such crops rest soil from
cultivation, reduce organic matter
losses, increase humus content, in-
crease soil microbe population, and re-
duce loss of nutrients by erosion, he
further stated.
The Professor also said that such
sod crops have not been fully apprec-
kited, and he pointed out that whed
legumes are used "their subsequent
beneficial effects on soil productivity'
reach a maximum. "All through the
meetings and lectures ran the better
farming theme to which the crop im-
provement association is dedicated,

46,057 were from the British Isles,
There' were 10,169 Dutch immi-

WEEKLY THOUGHT
• An ounce of prevention is worth
more than a pound of cure and a word
to the wise should be sufficient, Be
Careful! The streets and walks are oft
ten,icy and slippery this season of the
year. Watch how you step on slippery
spots, especially when crossing streets!
'Far better to be safe than sorry!
FEED THE BIRDS
Don't forget to feed our feathered
friends in this their time of tribule,
tion when snow makes food very hard
to find. You'll be glad to have the
birds around next summer when the
insect pests are here,
