To the Editor of the Exeter AzerooAns DEAR SIR, —The principles of forest' ry are now beebming better under -steed in Ontario owing to the care taken of late years by the goyernment 111 Sits b - tributinss information on the snbject. It is not only ` that much. knowledge has been gained but much work has been done, I have been shown' many a sheltered farm and many a line of. trees, improvements which their own- ers have informed me would not have existed but for the forestry literature which they hae-e had opportunities of reading. These again will act as exe amples and others will follow tn their tracks. The advantake of the country so far has been immense. But much more remains to be done. Many farms haye been improved. but there are many thousands yet untouch ed. It should always be remembered that in retaining on each farm its pro- per proportion of timber we supply a constant stock of moisture for the re- maining land. We also supply a res- esvoir where the falling rain may lodge, which will then gradually by underground channels be fed out to the rest of the land. Another and most important pointis the amount of sheL- ter obtained, from wind breaks, which would otherwise too rapidly dry up the land. I have repeatedly observed thet even wheie land has Peen well uuderdrained and was left unsheltered as good crops were not obtained as in sheltered local- ities, though these last had not been uncle:drained at all. When we consid- er how easily this machinery may be set in motion, that thousands of ever- greens are procurable in many pasts of the country, and with how little trouble long' lines of them be planted out, it would desirable that the matter should be taken in hand at once. Once planted, improvements go on without additional labor and the whole farm will speedily become more beautiful and more profitable. However, my principal object in sending on this letter was not to write an article on forestry. What I chiefly wished to mention was that this year's forestry report is now being distribut- ed and will be sent to anyone who will send me his address. , Yours truly, R. W.
