Good Value in
Farm Woodlot
We farmer's woodlot can be made
to produce values which compare
favorably with those from field crops,
especially in districts where wood is.
scarce. To accomplish this, however,
some thought and care must be
shown in growing trees and keeping.:
the woodiot well -stocked. To produce
its maximum the woodlot should con-
tain sufficient established trees ort
wood volume on which growth can.
be added, A first principle is that the
woodlot should contain at all times'
one-half the volume which it could
produce.over the normal life of the.
individual trees. Thus if in a period
of GD years the woodlot could pro-
duce 40 cords per acres, the woodlot
as 'a whole should have as a working
basis an average of 20 cords per acre
at all tines,
A perniauent investment should be,
made in the woodlot: It is a similar
,situation to the investment in fertil-
izer for field crops. The farmer knows
that unless he keeps the fertility of
his soil at - a high level, it will not
produce the maximum returns. While'
fertilizer is not needed in the wood -
lot, an equivalent value in wood capi-
tal must be retained' in order to pro-
duce the maximum return in wood
crops,
One of the great advantages iu
holding the volume of the woodlot
normally at a high level is that it
forms a kind of bank account which
can readily be drawn upon when a
sudden emergency arises. It is adding
interest usually at the rate of three
Per cent and there is little likelihood
of the value depreciating.

Bacteria Regarded
Friends and Foes
In Present War
Canada's food for Britain is under
attack before it leaves Canadian
shores. Before the big convoys move
out, the unseen 111th column of bac-
teria and moulds must be overcome.
From the time the food leaves the
farms until it passes through the
processing plants and is ready for
shipment, the scientists of the Divi-
sion of Bacteriology and Dairy Re -
•search, Dominion Department of Ag-
riculture, have done their part to see
that .precious cargo space is not
wasted in carrying spoiled food.
Tests have -been developed for meas-
uring the quality of milk coming to
cheese factories. Simple and practi-
cal methods have been discovered
for washing milking machines and
cans. Assistance has been given to
cheesemakers to prevent the develop-
ment of rancid flavor in cheddar
cheese, which is one of the important
concentrated (bods demanded by Bri-
tain. The prevention of surface dis-
coloration of ,storage and print but-
ter, and the testing of butter spec-
ially packed .for invasion forces are
fuhctions of the Dairy 'Research
Unit. The great increase in the use
of -dehydrated vegetables and fruits
for -export has meant further testing
to prevent loss caused by bacteria.
Ali -outstanding -contribution has been
made by the Division in the research
work on the .production bf penicillin
and citrinin, two anti -bacterial sub-
stances now in demand for treatment
of wounds.
Fortunately all bacteria are not

friendly helpers who assist in produc-
ing the choice flavor demanded in
cheddar cheese, and the Dairy- Re-
search Unit supplies Cultures of the
proper type of bacteria fo be used as
starters in the manufacture of
cheese. Bacteria also assist in break-
ing
reaking down the various elements in the
soil which are used as plant food,
and some of them even wage war in.
the soil against the bacteria and
moulds which cause plant diseases.
Another group assists in the ferment-
ation of butylene glycol concerned
with rubber production, The scient-
ists of the Department of Agriculture
working under the direction of Dr.
A. G. Lochhead, Dominion Agricultur-
al Bacteriologist`are constantly mar-
shalling their forces to repel the tiny
unseen enemies which attack Can-
ada's food supply, and to support
those friendly bacteria that provide
food for plants, flavor in your Welsh
rarebit, and may some day assist in
producing tires for your car.
