Yards end yards of stuff has been
written ori the wisdom, the fairness and
the patriotam of home trading. And
still some people Persist in sending out
of town for everything they want from

incurable disease that has afflicted rural
Ontario ever since Toronto departmental
stores commenced flooding the country
with catalogues,
Every dollar sent away makes the
community that much poorer. And we
might remark, too, that the merchant
who sends out of town for his printing
is not straining himself to encourage
home trading.

WOOD LOTS DWINDLING.
In 45 Townships They Have Been
Reduced to 1lve Per cent.
To the end that the water supply
may be conserved and climatic con-
ditions prevented from becoming
gradually worse one-fourth of older
Ontario should be in forest. In Ger-
many, where forestry has beers made
a matter of scientific study and man-
agement, over one-quarter of the
country is timbered.
What are the actual conditions in
this Province? According to a re-
port issued in 1909 by E. J. Zavitz,
head of the forestry branch of the
Department of Lands, Forests, and
Mines, in at least 45 townships in
older Ontario the proportion of
woodland had been reduced to 5 per
eent. of the total area, Lumping all
the settled townships together the
proportion was less than 15 per cent,
Not only this, but many of the so-
ealled wood lots have been perman-
ently damaged by cattle grazing in
them,and a large proportion of the
older trees are dead or dying, while
young growth has been prevented
from getting a start.
In all parts of the Province grave
injury has been caused by the undue
amount of clearing. In some cases
the stripping of the land of timber
has left barren wastes that are not
only profitless in themselves, but a
menace to nearby areas of good land.
The soil was naturally sandy, and the
burning up of the humus in
clearing, and by subsequent crop-
ping, has left the bare sand exposed.
Vegetable growth is gradually disap-
pearing from these areas, and the
loose sand is drifting over and ren-
dering sterile other lands which
would otherwise be productive.
Such danger spots are found in
Prince Edward County, along the
height of la"d in Northumberland
and Durham, in the Counties of Sim-
coe and Norfolk, along the Lake Hu-
ron shore of Lambton, and else-
where. In addition to this, in nearly
aII parts of the Province there are
bare creek banks and hillsides that
never should have been cleared.
As a result of unwise clearing,
creeks have been dried up or con-
tracted, wells have had to be deepen-
ed, droughts are more frequent, de-
structive storms are more numerous,
and the productive capacity of the
Province from an agricultural stand-
point has been reduced. As a further
result, according to Mr. Zavitz, it is
to -day praetically impossible to buy,
in any part of Ontario, commercial
quantities of any of the more valu-
able hardwoods. Axid this in a part
of America that was once one of the
richest in this exceedingly valuable
form of natural ree,ources.
For nearly forty }ears we have had
in Ontario voiees crying in the wil-
derness and giving warning of com-
ing dangers. It was not, however,
until 1905 that the first practical step
was taken towards remedying exist-
ing evils in so far as the settled parts
of the Province are concerned. In
that year a small nursery was estab-
lished at the Ontario Agricultural
College farm for the growing of trees
to be supplied to farmers who would
agree to set out wood lots on broken
places on their farms. Later on a
much larger nursery was established
on waste lands bought for the pur-
pose in Norfolk county.
Ip, the first year that stook was
ready for shipment very few trees
ware called for. To Prof. Squair of
the University of Toronto and F. C,
Ryerse of Lambton County are due
the credit of setting out trees on the
first wood lots under the new scheme.
Prof. Squair set out his trees in Dar-
lington. Township, and be now has a
block of fine pine trees averaging
over twelve feet in height.
