To assist the farmer in this very important matter, the 'Dominion Department of Agriculture issues a very simple and useful little account book which may be obtained'from the King's (Printer at a nominal price of l0 cents.

(Plats of trees could also be set out as 'memor- ials to distinguished public men, who had rendered notable service to their country. The serious effect of drought in lowering (the water level of streams and rivers and 'drying tap 'wells was emphasized. 'Farmers had found it necessary to draw water for their stock as !far as leve miles. Lt was also pointed out that there were too many municipal drains which were having the effect of taking moisture from the land where it was needed. Swamps were disappearing and trees being ruthlessly destroyed. All farmers must cooperate in the movement in order to secure satisfactory res'ults, IDr. G. 1. Christie in a luncheon ad- dress predicted that this movement was destined to play a great part in the future deve'lopmen't of !Ontario. It would result in leaving a wonderful heritage for the children and grand- children of the .present generation. Planting •of trees would go far to- wards solving the problem of conser- ring the water supply. Mr, F. 'Z,av- ttz, !Provincial Forester, and Frank S. ,Newman, su'perintend'ent of the St. Williams Forestry Station were other speakers, the latter declaring that mis- use of forest lands in the province was without 'parallel and that a remedy must be found, Mr. Monroe Landon, president of the Norfolk Chamber of Commence, spoke on the need for a revision of the Assessment Act to provide for the exemption of forest growth and from taxation. He declar- ed that trees were the only crop tax- ed and that the present assessment practice was a deterrent to private re- forestation efforts. A Central Committe representing all 'five districts will be set up and a brief is in course of preparation to submit to the Ontario 'Government, The Fisher Toronto Terminal Market Report (Furnished by the Ont. Dept. of Agriculture) Of particular interest to the fruit and vegetable growers attending their various local and Provincial annual conventions last week was the 'Fisher report whieb proposes the establish- ment of a Union 'Produce Terminal Market •facility for the City of Tor- onto. The report is the result cif the Cont- ntittee's study set up by the Provin- cial Minister of Agriculture in March '1LS3o; and summarizes clearly a nut'- � ber of important recommendations and conclusions that vitally affect the Ontario fruit and ve>etable industry.

Dept, of Agriculture) The movement for a province -wide program of reforestation and soil con- servation is rapidly gaining moment - arm throughout (Ontario. Following the original mieeting in London of representatives of nine counties to farm the Western :Ontario !Con - serration Committee, a second meet- ing was held at the !Ontario Agricul- tural College, 'Guelph. on January 113 when representatives of thirteen Southern (Ontario counties assembled to organize a second District Conser- vation Committee and to formulate a program of action. !A third meeting was held at •Bowananville on Friday tranuary 11(5. with a large number of 'Eastern 'Ontario c'oun'ties being rep- resented. ep- resented. This series of meetings has been sponsored by the !Farmers' Advocate, with its editor, Mr. \V: E. 'Porter, as the moving spirit. 'Warden Adam Mc - Colgan ttf Wellington County presid ed at the !Guelph meeting and an alt- day discussion of reforestation. water and soil conservation and waodiot preservation took ,place. At the con- clusion the 'following resolution was unanimously passed: "That in the op inion of this meeting the ;people of Ontario, bath runal and 'urban, are ready for a practical and cons'tructiv'e conservation program. It is further resolved the we recommend to the respeotive county councils that defin- ite action be taken at (their January sessions." It was recommended by the gathering that county councils set up a nucleus of a committee of .two of their number. along with the county agricultural representative, to build up a strong conservation committe within each county. It was suggested that each county council make a grant of $26.00 t.00 to its District Con- servatiou Committee to enable the , fatter to carry on its work within the individual county would be left to the discretion of each county council. It was further recommended that coun- ty councils demonstrate their sincer- ity by 'proceeding with some definite project 'of :tree -p'lan'ting and that a survey- of each county be trade in or- der to form a sound conservation pro- gram, As a preliminary step in the cam- paign, the :Guelph meeting recomamen- ded that (Ontario be divided into five districts, in each of which a District Conservation Committee will be formed to 'supervise the program.'The districts are as 'foli!ows: IND.

(b) Another very important source of 'financial loss bath to the wholesale trade and to the producer is the en- tirely unnecessary overloading of the market from time to time with both domestic and imported goods front, our discussions between growers and the .wholesalers it would' seem that any one of several systems could ,he agreed upone'that would very largely eliminate this trouble. ,(c) The question 'of delivery costs has been studied and many systems are found to be in !vogue.

The consum- er is not only [.trade aware of the pro- per time to make large purchases of each commodity, !but is advised as to the time when be Should expect lower prices. This provides for umintennupt- ed and free operation of the Law of Supply and !Demand. (e) Further wasteful ,cast under the present system of distribution in To- ronto is the inadequacy of proper loading, unloading and. 'parking fac- ilities around present markets for both 'tuyers and 'sellers. The Camredttee feels that he shall be entitled to all the facilities of the market and shatlll he subject only to the same regula- tions as all others. Ig) Further cost reduction in oper- ating can be made by taking advan- tage of the ptany modern types of handling facilities which are in vogue in different markets and which the present both summer and whiter 'far- ilities in Toronto do not permit of, th) Many other minor details of operation ;have been d'iscus'sed but it seems unnecessary to ;go into them at this time.

Since many nutritional disorders and diseases of farm animals have been traced to the lack of adequate minerals in their rations, there has been an increasing demand for Alin- eral supplements. Salesmen are known to be operating extensively. throughout the Prot -ince and in some cases are offering s,, called "mineral supplements" which are useless and inay he worse than worthless and the products may be offered at price-, far in excess of that which the farmer can afford to pay. •Recently two s!trking instances of fraudulent practice were 'brought to the attention of the Dominion 'Gov- ernment !Inspectors, One ,material consisted almost entirely- of grouted limestone. The other of common salt. Vet both were being cold at fantastic prices. When in '1911)1 the "'Feeding Stuffs" Act of Canada was drawn up the wide demand far mineral supplements was unforseen. Consequently no measures of central for their sale were incar- porated in the Act. Therefore, unt11 a revision of the said ,Act is completed it behooves the 'farmer to be on his guard against the insidious advances of these sometimes 'i'gnorant salesmen. The farmer should -,first, satisfy him- self that the mineral supplement is the product of a firm with e repute; tion to maintain and d'eman'd to 'be shown a statement of anailysis, bear•- ing in 'mind that calcium and phos- phorus shoW'd be approximately two In . ou'e. The maintenance .of a correct ban'la'nce !between these two is con- sedered important. Consult trout lAigticai1tural Repree setutative or the !Ontario 'Agricultural 'College at Guelph if you are in doubt to the analysis of the product which is 'being offered to you. Don't be fooled.
