Another • practice deprecated was that found where individuals rent farms, take as much from the land as possible, then move on to other areas. This' should be curbed and the family form idea encouraged, according to the brief. It was suggested that Snore land -use surveys should be made, particularly on _rundown and abandoned farms, or where productivity is low. One main cause of soil deple- tion in Huron. County is' weeds. Urging ' revision of • the Weed Control Act to give more author- ity to the county weed inspector, officials wanted eradication of brush from pasture fields as well as more weed . control. More edticatiorr on weed identification and control should be taught in primary and secondary schools. Clean Seed Stressing the need of clean seed on every farm, the brief recom- mended that consideration be given to the development of suitable incinerators to be in- stalled at all government -inspect, ed seed -cleaning plants and mint, Consideration was also efor suggested income tax exem- ption on costs incurred by farm- ers for bulldozing on farms for removal of .thorn -tree's, brush, and stones. Dealing with flood control, Huron County recommended a survey of the Maitland River with a view of relieving the water- shed condition, particularly around the town of tWingham. A committee was favored to study the possibility of closing or part- ly closing some municipal drains and to consider the feasibility of erecting small dams to act as reservoirs.

Reforestation Urged Turning to :reforestation, Mr. Strang,, said the amount' of farm woodlots and plantations leaves much to be desired. According to a ,1941 census only 8.3 per cent of the county is classified as woodland. The recommended figure is 20 per cent. One , of the main factors contributing to extinction of woodlots is the practice of pasturing'of livestock. in wooded areas, Young growth is eaten and trampled, while stock also injures large trees by trampling the soil around the roots. It is believed that if cattle were stopped from running in bushes, there would be a marked improvement in the woodlot condition. Reforestation Advantages Depletion of wooded areas is affecting water levels. The county delegation recommended educe-, Comet work to teach farmers the 'advantages. of reforestation end woodlot management. The De-. partment of Education was urged to give consideration to the . teaching of forest conservation as part of the curriculum in Ontario public schools, Other 'recom- mendations included more discus Bion offarm forestry problems in farm forum programs and that counties and the province share equally the cost of erecting an eight -strand wire fence for a woodlot owner, This latter re- commendation would not include • costs of posts or labor, The brief called for the amount of woodland that can be exempt- ed from taxes to be increased to 15 acres in every 100 acres; and recommended that if, a good bush is present on a farm, a purchases of that place should be able to secure financial assistance at low, interest rates so he would not have to sacrifice the bush to help meet the capital investment. A committee of more or less permanent nature ' was recom- mended to study all phases of soil conservation. 214.4.4 zoxed VACUUM P.I.CKED • ALWAYS FRESH 'Eta M':1:i N;:::::::3'_A�'?„i!.�!.jr�; �.�jr�.�..�4.�. ;..:"ii!':!�. i . r .'y1"i°i'y> :�!'i_c�'•'F'.'� C� Ap ,00 COj► to you% �� © i Many dairymen discover that a McCormick -Deering Separator Fives them ma profit than an additional cow. ^” get more and better cream with ..labor and st low cost.
