ICONSERVATIVES TO HOLD MONSTER PICNIC SOON .'~\1'rang:ements are on the way by the Conservatives of the Ontario Central District to hohl a series of picnics in the near future. D. H. Coleman, \'1ce-presitlent of the (lis- trict, is in communication with Pl'0{\`l(lCIll2 Beese of Owen Sound and Sc-c1'etar_\' L. G. Campbell of Mark- rlale, and the present z11`1'an_9:ements are to hold picnics in Grey County, Peel or Duflerin and Simcoe. It is _th(- intention to hohl all the picnics ` nlurinu` the same week if possible, and have Hon. Arthur Meigrhen, Hon. Howarcl Fcmzuson and one or two Cuhinet Hinisters athlress the g'athe1`- imrs. Vice-President Coleman has made the sug:g;estio11 that the Simcoe County picnic be hehl at Wasaga Beach and this will likely be acted upon. It is probable that the pic- nics will be held in the course of the next three weeks and prepara- tions will be made for large crowds at all centres.

A community, stated the speaker, depends primarily on the fertility and productiveness of the country surrounding it. A community thrives or does not thrive as the land is used or ill used. There are three classes of soils, rst, land that is capable of yielding a return in grain or other crops; second, pasture land that will not produce crops, but which will grow trees, and third, land which is not suitable for tillage or pasture, that is commons, but suitable for trees. For instance, sand which lacks cohesion won t grow grass or crops. Too much attention cannot be directed to sand land. It is said that moving sands have de- stroyed more empires than pesti- ences. Take Asia Minor as an ex- ample. Because the forests that were holding the sand in check were ruthlessly destroyed the Empire fell as the sand forced its way to the sea. Shiftin5.>: sand is slow, but relent- less, said the speaker. '1"l.n !.~.n.-xi-u I-.4` Q3-`nan 1141:` n .1. .1. Lu.

In our County we have 20 square miles of desert and another 20 square miles of potential desert. A great portion of this is land that a generation ago was covered with pines. Take a drive through the country and you will nd solid stretches of sand where fty years ago only patches could have been found. Last sum- mer while driving" through York I saw one spot of 100 acres with no vegetation, where these small patch- es had formed a desert. In Simcoe we have three areas, Camp Borden, Midhurst and Orr Lake. They pres- ent cause for thought. What is to be done ? It is apparent that what- ever is done must be through pub- lic effort, because private means would not permit of far reaching re- forestation. rmm z~_,m_........,..+ M'1~ n...m- `Fnli REFORESTATION A VITAL NECESSITY \lbLl._V A115 uu. In opening his address Hon. E. C. Drury pointed out that to-day we are faced with the problem of re- foresting land that should be grow- ing trees and producing revenue, but which is at the present time a waste. One hundred years ago old Ontario was covered with bush, but to the settlers of those (lays the trees sim- ply seemed a stumbling block that hindered their efforts to till the soil, and so they were burnt or cut down as our forefathers enlarged their holdings or moved on. That has led to the feeing that exists to-day, that trees are something to be destroyed. A nnm.-mm.`+u s+..+n.1 Hm ....n..1.,... Ex-P1'en1im' D1'l11'_\ Stresses Need of Tree Plzmtiug In Simcoe. That reforestation is a phase of our industrial and economic life that should be given greater stress was the declarationof Hon. E. C. Drury in an address delivered at the Ki- ` wanis Club meeting on Friday last. Reforestation, the speaker stated, isl necessary to provide raw. material for future industries, as well as to combat the blow sand menace. Sim- coe County, which began this work, has great possibilities in further carrying on. T ..~....:..... 1..:. a.I.1........ 11- n n 11111111111111 C051. 111111 lub. Such work would have a double effect at once, preventing the accum-. ulation of blow sand and providing raw material for future manufac- turers. It would be an investment in which the investor would be rea-1 sonaby sure of returns, as -the trees are almost sure to grow. Second growth pine has been found to make fairly good timber, and if grown in such places as proposed a double value will accrue because it is at once near the markets and where the la- bour problem is easily solved. So large returns for the money invested can be expected. A Government report which Mr. Drury quoted stated that white pine between 50 and 60 years old has a diameter of 15 inches and that an acre should yield 30,000 board feet, worth $20 a thousand on the stump. Taking these gures, which the speaker considered very conservative, land which would cost about $20 an acre would in 50 or 60 years yield 55600. There is no better invest- ment than to reclaim useless land," the speaker pointed out. Tn Rimr-nn, nilttinrr it rnnrrlilv. Hll.` S]_J(321K.`l' DUHILEU UUL. In Simcoe, putting it roughly, there are 20,000 acres that should be devoted to reforestation or in an- other generation they will be drift- ing sand, a menace to the country and its inhabitants.

There is no use in talking: reforestation to men who are not public spiritexl enougrh to see the future. To this end it has been necessar_v to create public opinion and in 1902 a ver_\' successful (le- monstration was held in Norfolk. \X/'lnn H-U.

When the speaker was in the Government legislation provilin2' for ('0-0]w1':\ti0n hetween the municipal- ities and the Government was put in- to efl`r.-ct. Three options are given. the municipalities buy the land and the Government cares for it for 30 years, then the municipality may elect to share equally with the Government or pay the Government for what it has done, or give the land to it. Since this Act was pass- ed three years ago 1000 acres have been set out under its terms. We must get the people to see that it is easier to prevent sand drifting than try to combat it, concluded Mr. Drury, and do our duty to our children, ourselves, and our country First honours in this week s local bowling match went to Peter Clark s quartette. Harry Tideman s aggre- gation. had a larger plus score, but had lost one game. The winners won both games and nished with a. plus of six points.
