Ontario, Canada, in ;the Heart of Huron County R. S. ATKEY, Editor A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1951 The Removal Of Undesirable Trees THE CONTINUAL REMOVAL of the best trees from woodtots over many decades often has Left a greet number of "problem" trees. These trees either are of inferior, unmarket- able, species or malformed, large -limbed, wolfs trees of the more valuable species. They are detriment to the wooduot, for they occupy luable space where better dress should Shand. They hold back the young reproduc- tion, frequenty deforming it. If they are ba- ler species, by acting as parent seed trees they gradually convert the woodland into a less desirable form. Such trees should be removed, even' if there is no dared profit to the owner. The removal will be prepared in future production. Usually such trees do not produce .logs, but may be cut up for fuelwood„ This year a fairly brisk demand for fuerwood exists hear the large centres of population. if the fuel - wood cannot be used, or if the trees are too difficult to work up, girdling offers a cheap and effective way of removing these undesir- able trees. Girdling consists of notching the tree wirbh an axe, completely around the circumference of the trunk. It must completely sever the vertical strands of cambium (active growth Mayer just inside the inner bark of tree tree), • Special care must be taken where there are Prost seams, fire scars or other eaeittes, for the living tissue is often curved deeply in- ward. The time required to girdle a tree varies from about 62 seconds fora six -ince tree to 270 seconds for a 26 -inch tree, Girdled trees die graduelly and fall down piecemeal so that dernege to advanced reproduotion is negligible, More rapid, complete killing; with less sprouting may be obtained by using poison. The poison may be applied to a girdle or to a series of notches around the base of the tree, spaced no more than four inches apart. Sodium arsendte is undoubtedly one of the most effective poisons but is dangerous to the hand- lers and• animals in the woods. Ammonium sulfamate which goes by the trade name "Animate" is an effective poison in many in- stances. Recently new compounds such as 2-4-D and 2-4-5-T have been developed and have been found successful. Some of these may be applied as a spray to the trunk without notching. Continued research is developing better techniques es fo r cheaply eliminating nating wolf trees and undesirable specimens from our woodiots. Your local Zone Forester will advise you on this phase of woodlot management. School Days SOMETHING IS BEING DONE about the 'terrors of learning things in school, The Paint- ed Word comments. The up-to-date trend in education is to avoid frustrating the student. The plan is to fix things so he wilt net be confronted with work too difficult~ for hint. School is becoming more a succession of ex- periences than factual tests. The student is moved ahead from class to class, not so much by facts absorbed and, conclusions made from them, as by bow' pleasant and how old the student is. Canadians are, a just people. In these times of the shrinking work -week for urban adults, there is justice in bhe children's not having to work harder than their fathers. But it is quite difficult to avoid some frustration. it is certainly useful for character that one be good at something and not fail all the time under an avalanche of algebra, but from losing f the rattle over the side of the crib to the stern reality that man ' is mortal, life is frustrating, Save for some teachers, few will oppose the application of the new ideas in education.. The children's vote looks solidly for no frus- tration. The parents are mainly concerned with clearing their offspring away to school and in getting good reports, as they seem lik- ely to do under the system of, not confronting students with tasks beyond their powers. The danger of the present trend is that the emphasis is 'on social development rather than intellectual development, Anyone could argue all night over 'which kind of develop- ment Is the more necessary. Too much think- ing has produced A-bombs and too little social development has produced wars in .which to use them. But the school system is the only public agency supncsed to be concerned mainly with intellectual development. The trend is to make school into a sort of summer Camp. This would be all well enough if real hard thinking were going on as the prime effort. A civilization of Dale Carnegie customers' men would be pleasant, but it could not stand up against thinkers. School is for learning to think. If school fails in this it fails in its main purpose, whatever else It may aohdeve. These educational experiments are a mat- ter of the deepest concert to all, Probably nothing else we could succeed at would bring such vast returns as the improvement of chil- dren, unless it be the Improvement of adults. "Weaker" Sex? ALTHOUGH THE OLD BELIES' concern- ing the inferiority of women stil 1ingrs, the so-called weaker sex is physically superior to men, declares Louis h Dublin in the December Reader's Digest. Mr. Dublin is vice-president and statistician of the Metropolitan Life In- surance Co, His article, examining the statistics an the young and old of both sexes, is condensed from Your Life. Throughout the entire life span, the fe- male mortality rate is lower than the male. Nature makes some allowance for this by arranging that 106 boys are born for every 100 girls. The ratio of female survival, is higher even before birth, for prenatal mor- tality from miscarriages and stillbirths is con- siderably higher for meles.• Infectious diseases of childhood, except whooping cough, are more often fatal to boys than to girls, and accidental deaths are one and one-half times es frequent among boys. In early adulthood the mortality rates of both sexes are almost even, but women still have the advantage: at 25 a woman has a life expectency of 44 years, as against 42 for the math of the same age. Widows outnumber widowers 55 to 45, the wide 'ratio being partly due to the fact that most women marry men older than themselves. The female intelligence is not inferior, Dublin says, but only difierent. Investigators have found that in certain subjects girls excel, in others boys are ahead. Girls and boys score about equally in 'LQ.tests. Women lose snore time from work, as a result of illness, than da men, but this in- dicates merely that women pamper colds and other mild indispositions while men do not. Such pampering frequently prevents the de- velopment of more serious illness and may be one reason why women live longer. More women than men attempt suicide, but men's efforts at self-destruction more often succeed. Possibly women do not really want to kill themselves, Dublin observes, but want only to draw attention to their grievances. Since more women survive, the greater share of the nation's wealth is controlled by them. In the United States, for example, they are beneficiaries of 80 per ant of all life in- surance, and receive 71 per cent of the estates left by men and 64 per cent of , those left by other women. Use Of Ferrets Banned For Hunting IT ALWAYS HAS BERN customary to use ferrets in hunting rabbits. The ferret would be placed in a hole where it was thought a rabbit might be, and the ferret would drive the rabbit out into the open where it could be shot. Several years ago, it was made Irnlawfan. to catch rabbits by hand, net, or other con- trivance. The limit for cottontail rabbits was reduced to six per person per day in some counties. This law still is in effect, and it covers the entire Province of Ontario. Due to the rapid decrease in the cottontail rabble population, it was requested by several Fish and Game Protective Associations that the ferret be outlawed from use In the taking of rabbits. The Department enacted legisla- tion which banned the use of ferrets, and in the 1950 Game and Fisheries Act, under Sec- tion 29, . Sub -Section (h), it states that no person shall use ferrets in hunting rabbits or game. " ' There are some who are not aware that the use el ferrets is now illegal, and they are liable to prosecution if a conservation officer should see them using a ferret to hunt rabbits.

Stable Scrubbing Five resolutions were present- ed to the meeting. The first dealt with T.B. Test- ing and stable scrubbing during cold weather. This resolution re- commended that no testing be done from October 1 to April 1 and no 'stable scrubbing from November 1 to May 1, Heavy losses have been sustained by farmers who have been compel- led to clean their stables during cold weather and stave had to turn their livestock out in the cold during the cleaning opera- tion. liggs and Poultry The second resolution dealt. with the fluctuating egg prices and recommended that a market- ing scheme for poultry and eggs be proceeded with at once, to give some stability to the egg and poultry market. Tattoo Markings The third resolution came from the Huron -Perth Shorthorn Club and Hereford Breeders' Associa- tion. They recommended that the Federation include in its resolu- tion on cattle rustling that tattoo markings he listed on bill of sale by packers and butchers. The directors did not endorse this resolution because they felt it gives protection to only a small section of the livestock industry. They favour any proposal that will be for the benefit of the entire industry end not a min- ority group. The fourth resolution dealt with bieck markings on black and red hogs and it was referred to the Hog Producers' Committee Inc study. The fifth resolution dealt with butter substitutes and the ask- ing tor: a ban against margarine. One section suggested that the Federatioe ask for the support of. labour in securing this protec- tion for the dairy Industry es Farmers have assisted labour in attaining the enviable position It now holds. THE VOICE OF TEMPERANCE From England cones the re- port that it is no lettger consid- ered polite to drink and get drunk. This has come about be- cause of the decrease , in the alcoholic content of beer and the increase in the cost 0± hard liquor. It is ' not a matter of narrow Puritanism but of decency and common sense that the In- fluence of liquor is degrading. When will good• taste imppse its ban on peope whose conversation and conduct reveal the blight of drinking? 1t is not polite to be maudlin or noisy with drink.-- Advt. rink.-Addvt. 1-b to 1 PPP• Naidew e•+}1 ;+erseel este-H w fur sincere Thanks!!
