Ever since its organization in 1925,
the Norfolk County Chamber of Com-
mercebad ais one of its thief ob-
j,eatiiies, the preservation and con-
servation of tile farm woodlot and the
reforestation of waste land in the
county'.
The Farm WoodirotEicept in en -
usual cireemstances such as high-
priced land for garden or fruit pur-
poses, every farmer should •aim TO
maintain at least 10 per cent. of his
farm as •a woodlot. This percentage
of course will Vary somewhat from
farm to farm. The advantage to the
state In maintaining this percentage
has been recognized by granting an
exemption from municipal taxation
for fenced woodlots up to that amount.
Outside Of the desirability of such
a policy from an. aesthetic standpoint
'We "many features of which are ap-
patents to all natuee• lovers, we be-
lieve the policy a commendable one
from an economic stend,proint

ier'. to sell and brings, more money

culture and the woodlot area may be
as profitable as any other part of the
farm.
Reforestation of Waste Land.—This
is an entirely different- project from
the farin woodlot It involves buying
up cheap land, planting it, to trees,
en,di -waiting 20 to 2,5_y_ears for ,a re-
turn on the hems -Mere. (Christmas
trees may bring an eirliet return).
Several .Norfolk citizens have. pur-
"chased land and have lad it refor-
ested. For :their enterprise they find
themeelvite penalized by an increas-
• ed taxation due to the increased

lue of the land on•••aecount of• tree

We have asked that this amendment
be made optional With the county and
that it .cortre into force in sucJl coun-
ties as would Pass a, by-law validating
11. The Norfolk County Council has
already endorsed this proposal. •
Educational Work.—With a view to
inculcating le the inindit of our chil-
dren a love for trees it is our objec-
tive to hate a small demonstration:
woodlot 11 editnection with each rural
'scihool. This of course is only 'prac-
ticable where land can besecured at
a reasonable price. -, •
• The county council has agreed to
pay one-half the cost of additional
land Several townships, have agreed
to Ray ope-quarter the cost and a
government grant of $25 .is available,
on recommendation of the Miele in-
spector, for additional grounds::
The Norfolk Chamber of Commerce
offered a prize of $5 in each 'Town-
ship for schools entering in 1936 for
• the best planted and cared for planta-
tion. A similar prize will be given
the same entrants in 1937. Mao a
grand prize of $25 for the best plant,
ed. and cared for plantation' in the
county at the end of 1937. Judging
will take into Consideration the s•ize
of plantation, method of planting, va-
riety of trees most suitable, care and
cleanliness after planting, protection
from animals and percentage of sur-

The Norfolk •Cha.mher of Commerce
has supported the reforestation policy
of the Norfolk County Council where-
by 1,000 acres in land is now' owned
an•d planted by the •eounty. We be-
lieve 100 acres shoulebe purchased
and planted eaoh year by the County
until all available cheap land is tak-
en up.
Aila,rmed by the ruthless destruC-
tra,o Woodetrareite ifti Medea Tele
chased fon-the purpose of supplying
fuel for tobacco Minis and whieh•
being completely denuded a all for-
est growth, the Sitmeoe ofttary Club
held a meeting' in, November, '1936,
for the pfirpose of considering this
question. A committee Wag tappoitit-
ed to draft a policy to cope with this
- ONTARIO
situation and' present it to the proper
authorities. The committee has met
and a draft bill is now being prepar-
ed embodying the principle of not al-
lowing the cutting of any trees under
10 inches, two_ feet front the ground,
without the permission, of a cOnnty
forester.
While we do not like too much pro-
hibitory and compulsory legislation it
would seem that the gravity of the
situation deniands some such drastic
measure.
