I One of the commonest sights of my child- - 3 hood was the ascending smoke in all direc-. ltions from the burning of uncounted log 3. heaps. And Oh! the pity of it! Those log 1 1' _heaps consisted of as fine trees as God ever M made, felled where they stood and rolled together and `burned to get them F out of the way. Oak, hickory. ash hel-ms bthiat-_ almost! sgfeplt `t es y,wi c erry,i ir `s-eyemape, ac iwalnut--t,rees that today would be sawed `' I intothin sheets and used for the veneering i of less expensive wood; trees for which iany lumberman would pay from six to d i twelve and fteen hundred a trunk. felled gland burned in order to clear the ground .upon which they stood for the `cultivation `T lof corn and potatoes. The resources of the "r ; country were considered so vast that it `(i never` occurred to any one to select the m_ost~ ` i valuable of these hardwoods. and store them :1 for the use of future generations. _ I have not been accustomed to consider-i -ing myself "among the oldest inhabitants; a fair degree of civilization had reached In- `diana when I was born, yet, inmy child- hood I was accustomed to Indians at the ildoor, to wild turkeys, wild cats and bear .and deer in the woods not farther than Michigan from my home. We used to see Ewild pigeons in such numbers as to break {down the branches of the beech. maple and llinden trees on which they perched at night. I .......

I }have lived to see the greater part of our [springs dried up, the little streams drained jfrom the face of the earth. and many. of :the rivers practically dry in the summer `season, the lake levels lowered, the fish, game and fur-bearing. animals practically exterminated. I * at-gs 1- I- The deer and fur-bearing animals are practically gone from the country I knew I and the country further west as well. Many t,of the Indians are nearly starving through lthe scarcity ofcfish and game. The `birds lhave been depleted in numbers until it is r quite impossible to raise fruit. of any kind - without a continuous fight against slugeand 5 aphis, a war which birds in sufficient num- ilbcrs would wage for us. ........A.n I have liv to see timber becoming so` l With the cutting of our timber has come a change in our climate; weeks of drought `in summer and destructive cyclonic wind-l 9-storms, winters alternating from a condi-~ i tion :40 open as to" freeze prematurely forced lfruit and grain, and winters so stringently icold that the fruit trees are killed outright. 7 __.I LL- ..n.-.n.nuArurl nun uAyII promptly. nnnl UUIU llllll Iuc uuu u..... ...- --...- __ I The even temperature and the rainsevery ; three or four days which we knew in child- Ehood are things of the past.

The question now facing us is whetherwe shall do all that lies in our power to save con1-` fortable living conditions for ourselves and the spots of natural beauty that remain for our` children. . ' If this is to be done, a nation-wide move ment must be begun immediately. ` Our climate could be greatly bettered if every man owning land would do what he can to restore original conditions _by ghtingto . ' save the water in his vicinity. and by plant- ,ing all the trees for which he can possibly spare space. More water means more rain. A heavier growth of timber breaks up cul- minative winds and gives bird life, under rigorous protection, a chance to renew it- self. Wherever there are plenty of birds the spraying and fighting of insect pests is not necessary. An English boy once went to see a game of baseball. and during the play when he happened to look` around for a minute a_\foul tip caught him on the ear and knocked him senseless; On coming to him- self he asked faintly. What was it? A foul--only a foul!" ` A fowl!" he exclaimed. -A fowl`? Why I thought it was a mule. Barrie, September I7, I8, I9. ' Alliston. October 4 and 5.. Beeton. October 8 and 9.
