IN MEMORIAM CURRIE — In loving memory of Robert Currie, who passed away one year ago, on the 4th of March, 1949. This world may change from year to year, And friends from day to day, But never shall the one we loved From memory pass away. Ever remembered by the family. IN MEMORIAM Tu loving memory of a dear bus - band and father who :passed away away on Feb. 25th, 1933. Gone is the face we loved so dear Silent is the voice we loved to hear Too far away for sight or speech But not too far away for thought to reach Sweet to remember who once was here who though absent, is just as dear. Ever remember by wife Mas. Emma Hulley and family. • And ry tin '•rr While engaged in wood -cutting on his farm an the 16th con., of Grey township, ,Toe Martin disturbed two flying squirrels, which are so rare in this district as to cause a good deal of interest. Mr. Martin says that the squirrels darted front their nest as it struck the ground after being cut, They may have been partly dormant but made their way to the branches of another tree and stayed around for two days before they disappear- ed, Mr. Martin brought his family to The bosh to see the sesirrels. It was an added thrill for them when the squirrels "flew" Pram one tree 1-1 another quite a distance away, Actually they do not fly but swoop very quickly. and the web that loins the front and hack legs was quite visible when "flying," they look just like the Chide of a small animal stretched out to dry. They are lighter in color than our brown squirrel, with numbers of black markings. Their nest was about the size of the crown of a man'a hat with an oininiue smell enough to permit only n squirrel to enter, Tit was lined with wood shavings, ground so fine as to be nlm,nst feathery, mixed with a. few h its of fur and feathers, Messrs, Atex Pearson, Stanley Meehan.

GRASS The first is. of course, that the grass D1411118 through the phenomenon of photosynthesis absorb the energy of the sun and store this same energy in the form of organic matter, This phenomenon is essential for continual fertility. Without a con- tinued supply of energy, the con- stant produotiou of food stuffs is impossible, Food is, after all, energy in another forst, In the second place, grasses, pos- sess a peculiar type of root system which each year, and following each clipping or grazing, generates now nutrient exchange surfaces. This constant reproduction of absorbing tissue makes, it possible to obtain maximum utilisation of the nutrients as they are distributed throughout the soil. Thirdly, upon decomposition of the constantly regenerating root system a high calcium medium is created, which lir turn provides the best pos- sible environment for the develop• meant of the azotobactor, or free - nitrogen -fixing bacteria. Such high calcium media also provide a suitable environment for the continued absonpbion by grass roots. This particular phenomenon , is most im- portant for it prevents access leach- ing nand tends to develop a state of high fertility •equilibrium between the soil, the plant, and the parti- cular set of climatic conditions pre- vailing, Fourthly, tate transpiration rate of the grass plant is among the lowest of our economic plants, :Soil under grass reaches and maintains a balance with other climatic condit- ions of light and host wibh mach less water than soil under any other agromamlc crop. Now much of this may seem to be rather obscure reasoning. However, T wish to em,phasdze that 'these faots most ho understood before we can appreciate the real significance of grass. To make this subject perhaps a'libtle clearer, let me dwell for a moment upon a topic which is very popular at the present time. That is the subject of planting forest trees. Many have the idea that as long as we plant enough trees. our agri- cultural and forestry problems will be solved, ' As is the case with most popular ideas, ,there 4s much inaccurate thinking behind the less. there Is no question that trees will help to re- tain soil moisture, that trees will help to break the fall of summer downpours, that they hold snow and prevent rapid water runoff. All `such facts are well known. It is perhaps not se well known however, that the organic matter produced under forest coverage, whether- coniferous, or deciduous, produces an acid type of medium which ultimately results in the leaching and not the retent- ion of soil nutrients. Over a long period of time, therefore, soils pro- duced under forest trees will even.ht- ally drop in fertility. Most of our R"onthrn•n Ontario soils have been pro- duced under conditions, the parti- cular typo of soil being known as a podsol, in contrast wioh this type of forin- abion, we have the great agricultur- al areas of the world such as the Canadian prairies, .the mid -western United States, the pampas of Ar- gentina, the steppes of Russia, and many parte of. Ohina. These areas were developed under grass veget- ation and, for ell practical purposes. would have gone an building up con- stantly if it were not for the de- structive efforts of man. Now I do not wish to imply that we should discourage the, planting of trees, nor do I wdeh to under- estimate in any way the importauue of trees as a measure of conservation auel a necessary agricultural crop, However, I do wish to dispel any idea that the planting of trees is going to solve our overall agricultur- al problems of building up highly ptlodtuctive soil. 1 might even go so far as to suggest that in those areas which are abandoned, or semi. abandoned as the result of poor farming Praiotices, that some con- sideration be given to the planting of such areas to grass, 34 is true that over a long period of time the actual worth in terms of soil fertility will be greater under grass than under trees, Grass, like trees, will retard the movement of surface water, will hold 'the snow, and fol. lowing a period under constant greet will provide food which, antler jud- icious management can, be made to continua for many years, .

Red Cross Campaign Starts To -day "I spent four mouths in a Red Cross hospital during the war years, and this organization's valuable ser- vice to the public caul not be measur- ed in dollars and cents. Our con- tribution was a way of saluting those 1 who render ilhis service," The coa- tribution mentioned- by this Burk's , Falls editor was an entire issue of his newspaper the "Arrow" et the time cf Outpost Hospital opening in that town. I This was just one of the many ways that the people help Red Crass. It : can often be seen in so many ways. "A new Canadian arrives in Canada, their relatives must be contacted, but they haven't a phone so the neighbour downthe street is called. They not only deliver the message but often go out of their way to help the New Canadian get settled. An old lady comes to headquarters with a dollar hill in her hand, "This Is my donation to the campaign. 1 was away when your collector called.' The 'words of a Noronfc survivor If this terrible thing had to happen. thank ,God it hiappened where there was a Red Cross branch." All of these are tributes to the work of mercy done by the Canadian Red Cross. During the next three weeks Wm will be asked to share towards the work of this Organization. Swim- niing and Water Safety, First Ald, Veterans Service and Welfare, Hos- pital 'Visiting, Nutrition, Volunteer Nursing Service% Loan Oupboard, Outpost Hospitals, Junior Red Cross, W omen's Work, Blood Transfusion service and Homeni,aiker Services,. .. aril these are part of the Red Cross P eacetime program, The National objectiye this year Is $5,000,000.
