Alarming Decline In Acreage Shows
Need for Concerted Program
TREND IS WRONG WaY
Clinton, Jas 10—Although cuaeld•
eratrle educational work was cions
last year in promoting reforestation
in Huron County, much more will be
dune during 1922, according t0 Ian
MacLeod, agricultural repres:ata-
tive for the county. The Immedi-
ate need for a concerted refotesta•
tion program in the county Is strlk•
'ugly revealed in a table of figures
which appears on this page today
The table, ‘‘itch merits coca
study by Huron County reenter,
reveals that where the proportion
of woodland 1n Iluron In 1901. was
9.9 aeras to every 100 acres of Lime
thin, percentage In 1934 had de 9.11 ed
to 5,7,
"Tile sleets f',r immediate relr.l'es-

Leod stated "It revaaes the trend

tion is comnme,:c1 ou a si..:able
scale the sttualien will be acute in
the next three decades,
"On almost every farm there is
some waste lane., ranging any ehere
from half an erre up to tea acres,
If we could just get our farmers
in Huron to plant this land to
tree growth it would make for
much more permanent agrioultule.
Farmers who already ' have wood-
ladn would be well advised to fence
off this growth, because the trees
will not bave natural growah if
cattle are allowed to pasture to the
woodlits, The trees are very likely
to die off in a few years and the
land would never re -seed 'teen
naturally."
172,000 Trees Planted
In 1936 Hurnn County farmers
obtained approximately 163,000
trees from government nurseries
and these were used for r_eforesta
tion and windbreak planting, Last
Year 172,000 trees were obtained
and Mr. MacLec•d bopes upwards
of 200,000 will be planted during the
coming year. The trees are mostly
pine and aprace, although gaire a
large number ate deciduous, includ-
ing maple, elm and walnut.
At the short courses held In Sea.
forth last February, Mr, MacLeod
trade a survey among the bete and
he was astonished to flail that
nearly 25 per cent of them had no
woodlots on their farms at t'orae.
"This may not have been typ'cs1
of the county as a Whop." Mr.
MacLeod sale, "because the Jle.r
about Seaforth is pretty well clear-
ed. However, this condition should
not obtain in an agricultural
county like this,"
