barns" and poultry houses, with their
contents. In the barns were several
head of cattle, sheep and lambs, and
all the farm machinery ' 'as well as
e quantity of grain and fodder.
The fire when first noticed at
about 9 prix, had made such head-
way 'that nothing could be saved.
All the poultry,- too, fell a prey to
the flames. To Mrs. Hugill who is
in very poor health, the fire was a
great shock. Mr. and Mrs. Hugill are
a young couple whe,have been mar-
ried but a few years and have been
getting; ahead nicely ,at :their farm
home, and the loss of their buildings
and contents will be a deplorable,
setback. The loss; which will' aggre-
gate .'$5,000 or more, will be: partially
offset by insurance. It is hoped that
building operations will soon be un-
dertaken. Mr. linen]. has' no theory
as to the origin of the fire. -He was
away from home. at the time.
RE JACK 'MINER BIRD SANC

proval of the hunters, as it not only

TO PREVENT FOREST FIRES
That Cann/live conmterae has al -
reedy enough "in the red" without
adding any forest fires in 1931, is
the keynote of a nation wide educa-
tional campaign ,just inaugurated by
the Canadian For•estiy Association.
• field lecturers are already at work
in British. Columbia, the Prairie
Provinces, and Nova Scotia, and will
shortly enter other provinces to en-
Iist the Canadian plrblie in a deter -
wiped forest protection effort. Fif-
teen edueaiirnal pdrties in all will
be utilized, each With a motor truest,
mntirn pictures and electric genera-
tors to meet the conditions of 1100
remote conmttinities. Where roads
. ere not ivaitable, aeroplanes and
brats are used to reach mining and
other 'districts where forest fires
commonly have their origin.
'file. Association, which belongs to
no government or commercial body,
hes had many years of practical suc-
cess in organizing public sentiment'
in the frontier country and has built
up a membership of 32,000, the
inrgest of any similar Association in
the world.
In tate southern. PrairiePrnvinees,
where shelter belt lcanting is of the
highest economic importance, and is
virtually the key to mixed farming,
the Association's railway lecture car'
is now coveeing Saskatchewan ' with
packed daily audiences far exceeding
the attendance of prosperous times.
During the afternoon and evening,
crowds of settlers and their families
are insteueted in tree planting, and
many littnderds of new shelter: belts
are a direct consequence of such
educational methods.

total outlay by approximately $4,-

5450,000.
Disttirbanoes in the civil service
have been 'few, apart from the In-

CLEAN THE CORNFIELD
'There have been rumors titttt the
Corti Borer Act would not be en-
forced this ,year. Such rumors are
unfoanded, The Provincial Ento-
mologist in March called a meeting
of the corn borer inspectors, dis-
cussed with theta their duties and
gave instructions that .there should
be noeslackening up in the enforce-
nient of the act. He said the borer
was just as dangerous as ever and the
only safeguard against serious toss
to the corn lay in a thorough clean-
ap every year, each former doing his
share, '• It was pointed out that the
weather was a very important factor
in determining whetter we could get
a reduction in tine number of borers
in any particular year. Some years
the weather would favor the insect
so much that all a good clean-up
could do would be to prevent a very
large increase, Other years the weat-
her would help• us and there would be
a decrease.
Farmers and also corn growers in
cities and town' ere urged to co-ope-
rate by having all corn remnants de-
stroyed not later than May 20th,
