Many farms in Huron, Bruce,
and Perth Counties have some
laud once cleared and farmed but
a now idle because It is too steep or
rocky for cultivation, lacks
sufficient moisture or. nutrients,
or is too small or irregular in
shape. Changing .metflods of
farming also have resulted in
many acres of marginal farm land
becoming idle. Trees are a crop
which can make these idle lands
productive again.
Reforest ing such areas is
important for many reasons in
addition to production of lumber,
fence posts, fuelwood, and
Christmas trees. Windbreaks or,
shelterbelts enhance the beauty
and comfort of farm buildings and.
protect field crops from strong
winds. Good woodlots and
shelterbelts. increase the sale
value of a farm. Forest cover
helps reduce run-off 'and controls
soil erosion by wand or water,
Forested areas also improve
wildlife habitat and enhance the
aesthetic beauty of the landscape.
More assistance than ever
before .is-.now available to land-
owners for planning and
establishing this new forest crop.
The Ministry of Natural
Resources provides a free tree
planting service for ,011 land-
owners willing to have 10 acres or
more of suitable land planted to
trees. Under this program the
Ministry will, free of charge,
inspect the property to be
planted, consider the objectives
of the landowner, offer advice on
the proper species to plant, and
carry out the actual planting
work. The landowner purchases
the nursery stock at nominal cost
from the Ministry of Natural
Resources nursery ,and assumes
responsibility for protecting the
young plantati"on from fire,
livestock, insects and disease.
Any landowner interested in
,fertkr details of this free service
should contact the Wingham
office bf the Ministry of Natural
Resources.

LANDMARK GONE'r—. A Seaforth landmark that has stood tor more than-a century
disappeared last week when a wrecking ball crumbled the solid brick structure.
Vacant for a number of years the former poultry plant was purchased recently by
Les Seiler of Seaforth Creamery Ltd. Mr.' Seiler said Wednesday while the site was
being tidied 'up no plan's had been completed for its use. In the early 1860's when
Seaforth was the grain market for much of Huron Bruce and Perth the site was used
by the trade. The present brick mill was erected by Thompson. Bros. in 1875 and
continued to be used for miffing and grain storage until 1961 when it was converted
to poultry use. (Staff Photo)

It is likely that there has been
some injury to tender buds of
other plants also, he concludes.
Peach flower buds are frequently
damaged by low winter
temperatures. In the Guelph area
for example, one cannot depend
on a regular peach crop even in
sheltered gardens. Often late.
maturing twigs and the bark in
narrow crotches are injured, too,
better. Although exposed tender
forsythia buds have suffered from
low winter temperatures, there
may be quite a show of bloom in
spring on protected branches
near the ground if the snow,
which serves as an insulator; was
deep „when, the cold spell came
along.

"Old Fashioned" ,winter
may hamper forsythia bloom
If you have brought in forsythia
branches to be forced into bloom
in the house recently, you may
have noticed that fewer blooms
opened this year. The cold
weather in January was probe bly
responsible, states Professor C.B.
Kelly, of the Ontario Agricultural
College's Department ' of
Environmental Biology. The
weather last fall may also have
been partly to blame; some
forsythias had open blossoms late
last fall, others had buds which
looked as. though they might
open.
"Some buds on an exposed
branch from a forsythia bush in
my garden were sliced in half,
lengthwise, with a razor blade to
see if the -flowers inside were
dead. Of 102 buds On one branch,
only four were found alive. On
another bush, 35, of 76 flower
buds. were •cleadp •he' says.
