E. H. CLOSE, i hail man,' Street 'Connrnittee Farm Forestry (W. A. G. Thurston, Zone Forester) i When trees are to be planted, there are many different methods which may be used. Each is suited to certain soil or ground cover con- ditions, onditions, and if the proper planting • method is not used, the chances of the trees surviving may be .greatly 'reduced. On most types of land, it is nec- essary to remove the sod from the place in which the tree is- to be planted. This. is usually done by ploughing .a furrow, but in some cases, where it is too rough or too stoney, the sod•'must be removed with a spade or shovel. When ploughing furrows on flat land, the furrows should run at right angles to roads, to facilitate skidding of logs in the future. If planting on hilly land. the fur- rows must follow the contours— that is. run around the hills or slopes. rather than up and down hill. This prevents water from -run- ning down the furrows and wash- ing the trees out, and so prevents erosion over the whole slope, each 1 DOES YOUR SACK ACHE?

Furrows should not be ploughed on land that might become blow sand. When planting in the furrows, a spade or round -nosed shovel is us- ed to make a !hole for the tree. This hole is made in the bottom of the furrow, and should have one side vertical, against which the tree is placed. Care should be taken to be sure that the roots have plenty of room in the hole. Then the earth is placed back in, and packed firmly around the tree. Use the heel of the foot, not the toe, to pack the soil tightly. If air pockets are left in the soil, due to careless packing, the tree may die. Many differentmixtures of trees can be planted. It is not advis- able to plant a large plantation of one species, because if that spe- cies were to be attacked by dis- ease or insects, the entire planta- tion may be lost. However, if a mixture has been planted, the loss will be less, as trees of other ape - cies will survive. For suggestions as to possible mixtures, consult the Zone Forester. Frequently a mix- ture is planted with the idea that one species will be thinned out at a fairly early age, leaving the more valuable species to mature.

URGE RANGE SANITATION FOR GROWING CHICKS Good clean range will not only reduce the cost of growing chick- ens, but according to experiments will produce a better pullet for the laying pen. This kind of range can be had by baying sufficient land available so the birds can use a field that was not used for chick- ens the previous year, and prefer- ably not for several years, says - Prof. J. E. Bergey, Poultry Depart- ment, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Ont. Chickens cannot utilize long pas- ture. It should be clipped regular- ly, probably every two weeks' In the fast growing season, -to make it suitable for their use. Shade should he supplied, but should be from trees trimmed 10 to 12 feet above the ground, to al- low the sun to hit the ground at some time during each day. Low bushes and marshy places should be avoided. Fall wheat or rye sown in the fall will supply good pasture for early spring for a few weeks, Af- ter this becomes too coarse, a good permanent mixture or grasses and clovers are quite satisfactory. Lad- ino white Dutch clovers are prob- ably the best of the legumes for this purpose since they do not grow rank and coarse. Where the grass' es are used, timothy, rye grass, fescues and blue grass all are fair- ly satisfactory. The mixture to, be used of these clovers and grasses would depend on the type of land. The field' should not be over- crowded. The maximum number is= 500 birds per acre, but would be better to keep below this number. 't'o keep the range from becom- ing too unsanitary the feed hop- pers and drinking equipment should' he moved every day or two. 'This will allow the sun to do RS work, by drying up the damp 'vote un" derneatb the feed and water con- 4ainers.

Of these, 500,000 were added in the last four years. That's more telephones than we installed in our first 40 years! And as we have grown, service has grown better. Your calls go through quickly, dearly. You can always count on your telephone. Yet up to now, despite rising Costs on all sides, there has been no increase in the basic telephone rates established ,22 years ago. 'Few things 'give you so much real value at such low cost as 'Our telephone. We've broken all records,— but there are still orders we haven't been able to fill.

I always put part of my pay into my bank account —otherwise it burns a hole in my pocket. I guess I trust the bank more than I trust myself! I figure that's on( reason why my savings have been building up the way they have. Another reason I'm sold on a bank account is that I always know just where I stand. All I have to do is take a look at my pass -book. They're a lot better bookkeepers than I am. What's more, what's in my pass -book is my business and I can count on the bank people to keep their mouths shut about it. And that suits me just fine!
