In order gat the maximum amount of pWtIi from this area, some of .the bees must be thinned out. 'The idea of thinning in a wood - 1 t le similar to thinning carrots (a, a garden. Certain specimens must have more room in which to grow. There is only a certain amount of food available in the soil;, and if a large number of trees are competing for this, none of them will grow very fast. How- ever, if some trees are removed, more toed will be available for the 'remaining trees and their growth rate will increase greatly. This has been proven in the woods many times over. Perhaps one of the most §striking proofs is the following: Studies were made CUTS, BURNS and BRUISES •Healing,SoothiosandAntiseptic. Dr. Chase's Ointment brings quirt relief. Regular She 69c, Economy Size, 6 times as much 32.23. A healer for over 50 years. Dr..Chase's Ointment of beech growing in two different woodiots. One woodlot was well managed, using forestry principles; the other Was not. From the man- aged woodlot, a beech 12 -inches in diameter was cut and found to be 85 years old, A tree of a similar diameter from the unmanaged woodlot was 135 years old, This shows how the rate of growth was speded up by use of thinnings. The axe or • saw , is the only means of controlling growth rate in a woodlot. In growing other farm crops, rate of growth can be improved by use of fertilizers and cultivation. This is not so in a woodlot. Only by removing tree.$ where they are crowded can growth rate be stimulated. The material secured from a thinning operation can be utilized for fire- wood and two objects are fulfilled as a result of this work. The Department of Lands and Forests is setting up thinning dem- onstration plots in some woodlots through the co-operation of the owners, These plots are thinned •out `and measurements taken on the trees. Beside the thinned plot is located another plot of similar size which is not thinned. Thus, over a number of years a compari- son of growth rate between the thinned and unthinned plots is found. This is a means of dem- onstrating in a practical way the value of thinning in a woodlot. Plots established in hardwood stands for this purpose are located as follows: Huron County, Stan- ley Township, Bayfield Road South, DEAD OR ALIVE!
