S. ATKEY, 'Editor A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1050 Christmas Trees A CHRISTMAS TREE and its decoi+ations have become an integral part of the celebra- tions at this .time of year in almost every home, For the urban dweller there are two alternatives: To, purchase one i'ione those whioh ere brought kilo town by the farmer's or deal- era who retail them; or to go out into the country and obtain one. The manner in • which the oity or town dweller secures his tree when, he goes to the country is worthy of a little thought, In the first place, if he is wise, before he uses the axe or saw, he will go to the farmer's house and ask pesmdssion•, Trees are just as much a part of the framers' crop as pumpkins, potatoes. or chickens, end he has a right to be paid for his produce. The practice oe cutting down a thirty- or forty -year-old tree just to obtain, the top six or eight feet, is wasteful and should be discouraged. Many farmers are now •plant- ing Scotch Pine on waste land and using the revenue from its sale to pay for the, cost of establishing more permanent plantations •-• in some instances, a less valuable species like balsam fir can be • removed to make space for ., more desirable trees. "Courtesy Pays" and "Honesty is the best Policy" are two common maxims which we teach our children. Their application inthe matter of securing your Christmas tree will help to improve the relations 'between urban and rural people. Suggestions To Save Wildlife TOURIST AND fish and wild life con- servationists in Canada have recently expressed alarm over the disappearance of our wild life. The Financial Post asked a group of Canad- ians for suggestions on conservation. That problem can best be solved, in the opinion of many, by tighter restrictions built into exist- ing game laws; greater scope of education as to the whys and wherefores of self-imposed concern on the part of hunters and fishermen. Many cited •better protection from pre- datory animals, forest fires -all boiling down to an increase in present ranger ranks. Increased license fees and stiffer penalties for offenders also got a good play. But' whatever the answer to The Post's question, it showed increasing concern and awareness of the hulk of Canadians to the folly and foibles of (as one interviewee put it) "conversation instead of conservation." Return Straw To The Soil A LARGE PROPORTION of the 50 million tons of annual straw production in Canada either is abandoned on the ground or in stacks, or is burned, states a booklet made public by The Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Point- ing up the need for accelerated research both in industrial and agricultural utilization of straw, the booklet entitled "The Utilization of Straw in Canada" was written by E. S. Archi- bald, Director, Experimental Farms Service, Dominion Department of Agriculture, and G. A. Ledingham, J. B. Marshall and J. E. Stone of the Prairie Regional Laboratory, National Research Laboratories, Saskatoon, and Issued, by the Canadian Chamber's National Chemurgic Committee. Return to the soil of straw and other crop ,residues to restore fertility and help prevent soil erosion is advocated by Dr. Archibald. Tests in Western Canada had Shown that crop residue, including straw from a ten -bushel per acre crop of wheat would return to the soil about 900 pounds per acre of organic matter. There was no need, however, to put back all of it, as straw could serve as part of the winter forage for livestock. "It is extremely doubtful that any in- dustrial use can be found for straw which would make it sufficiently profitable on the majority of Eastern farms to compensate for the loss of straw if such loss had to be re- placed by the use of chemical fertilizers," Dr. Archibald comments, Messrs. Ledingham, Marshall and Stone put forward the view that research on in- dustrial utilization of straw should go forward "hand in hand" with basic agricultural studies. Technicians in the Prairie Regional Laboratory at Saskatoon were looking into the various industrial uses of straw such as the produc- tion of corrugating, Container, structural boards and briquettes for fuel. Although fine paper- making was not an immediate object to re- search, it was noted that "cereal straws will give a sheet of white writing paper which to the naked eye and to the touch is indistinguish- able from a high quality bond made from wood pulp." Straw as a possible source of Chemi- cals, also was being examined, Christmas Fare COME CHRISTMAS DAY, the average Canadian dinner table this year will be graced with the greatest array of food delicacies since the war. Everything from turkey to nuts will he in plentiful supply and at prices not far removed from those of last Christmas, pre- dicts The Financial Post. Will Cost More FARM MACHINERY, fertilizers, pesticides, fencing and building materials will cost more in 1951, but feed costs may be lower, the Economics Division of the Federal Deport- ment of Agriculture reports in The Financial Post.
