Department of Highways Has Done
Considerable in Planting of Trees
Along the King's Highways
and Secondary Highways in On-
tario the Department of High-
ways planted well over 46,000
trees in 1960.
Over the past decade the
Highways Department has plan-
ted about 1,600,000 trees and
shrubs of various species across
Ontario.
During the same period the
Department's tree saver success-
fully removed and replanted
nearly 1,00 trees, many of which
were mature trees up to 30 feet
in heighth. Had it not been for
this tree saving device—the on-
ly one in Canada—these trees
would have been destroyed dur-
ing highway construction.
Almost 6,000 acres or 28,556,-
000 square yards along highway
right-of-way were grass -seeded
during 1960 using the new mech
anical seeding method where -by
the grass seed is sprayed over
the area.
As in previouss years, a great
variety of trees and shrubs was
planted and care taken to locate
the correct species for a site,
bearing in mind both suitability
and eye appeal.
The turdy and adaptable scot-
ch pine leads the parade with
a total of 8,765 young trees, fol-
lowed by 8, 198 maples of six
well -tried varieties. Coniferous,
other than scotch pine, totalled
11,738 spread over 23 species,
some of which, like the Jun-
ipers belong in the shrubbery
group.
In locations where they can be
displayed to a dvantage more
ornamental trees and shrubs
were planted, such as, flowering
crab, barberry, lilac, honeysuc-
kle, silver birch, weeping wil-
low, and other eye-catching var-
ieties.
It is interesting to learn that
of the 46,530 trees and bushes
planted only 8,081 had to be
purchased from outside. The
greater balance was produced
by the Department of Lands and
Forests, or consisted of local
material.
Mechanical grass seeding is
carried out by teams of one
Hydraulic Seeder with one or
more Mulch Blowers. The for-
mer sprays a mixture of grass
seed and liquified fertilizer. The
latter follows and covers the
area with a mixture of straw
and a thin asphalt emulsion
which holds the seed until the
grass has taken root and turf
has been created.
The acreage thus seeded costs
eigh cents per square yard. Had
the same area been grassed ac-
cording to the old sodding me-
thod. the cost per square yard
would have been 30 cents.
Early creation of turf preven-
ts costly soil erosion and is also
used successfully as soil reha-
bilitation along our highways.
The sound economy in gras-
sing is reflected in reduced
maintenance costs, and here the
new method has proved emin-
ently efficient.
The material used in last
year's seeding operation includ-
ed 200 tons of grass seed, 8,971
tons of straw, 1,400 tons of fer-
tilizer, and 346,750 gallons of
asphalt emulsion.
All this and much other in-
teresting information about a
little known operation carried
out every year by the Depart-
ment of Highways is contained
in the Annual Report of the
Department's For e s t r y and
Landscape Section, recently re-
leased.
Nothing brings a smile to a performer's face like a fistful
of fan mail. Tommy Common, popular radio and television
singer, has good reason to be happy. He gets more than 1000
letters a week, mostly from girls who like his looks and
voice. Tommy has his own radio show, the Common Touch,
Tuesday afternoons on the C B C Trans -Canada network.

Announcement 1
Having purchased the milk business carried on by
Mr. Francis Kipper, known as the Zurich Dairy, we pledge
to give you the same top quality service you have receiv-
ed in the past.
All our dairy products are guarded for your protec-
tion, from the farm to the finished product, by the Huron
County Health Unit.
Due to Award 59-1 being in effect in Huron County,
a ruling which controls the price we must pay to the far-
mers for their milk, we find it necessary to bring about
a very slight increase in the price of milk. We wish to
emphasize, however, that this price still brings you milk
at less than 5c a glass, which in comparison is Tess than
any other beverage you can buy today. Your food dollars
go farther when you buy milk.
Our deliveries in the morning will not be made as early
as they have been in the past, and your milk will not be
sitting out in the weather before 7:00 a.m.
IT WILL BE A PLEASURE SERVING YOU !
