undertaken by townships president The following is copy of the report as pri recen selitetl survey of Siiucoe County revealed that over 200000 acres were useful only if returned It lhkcs approxi plaut

output for 35 years cutting Arid this estimate does not allow for replacement of new We therefore recommend that the production of existing provin cial nurseries be expanded and that new nurseries be established in areas where reforestation needs RENT NEW CAR and Drive it Yourself Call 2772 BARRIE DRIVE CAR Company Limited HERTZ DRlVURSELF LICENSEE 69 Collier St greas MINARD Vl Whenratistrained

municipal authori1 tics in Simcoc that this approach lalone is not sufficient Private quate Too much of it is concen planting in this County while the highest in Ontario is also inade rtrated at the

the ne iccssary 50 to 125 years necessary lto make an investment in reforest iation pay 00 and banks insurance companies etc have not seen fit to enter this field In Or0 Township Simcoe Coun ty there are an estimated acres and in Tiny Township similar large acreage of marginal and submarginal land much of which is completely idle It con tains some hardwood bush but is largely light soil unsuitable for anything but forest cover What value there was in the soil has been farmed out Yet planted to forest it is estimated that on tree crop basis each 300 acres could in time support family Thus as many as 500 families could in Cm and Tiny Townships alone find profitable employment in forest culture on soil new unproductive High educational and road costs arising from large tracts of idle land would be overcome and lumbering industry reestablished To undertake such project wouldhowever require major in Vestment of public or private funds running into several millions of dollars and dividends would not be possible in under half century Soil however would be rebuilt and employment provided With reasonable expectation of the return of the entire capital together with interest thereon We therefore recommend that the provincial government in co operation with local and federal governments explore plans to en courage private invstment in such projectsthrough greater tax ex emptions on reforested property and substantially larger invstment of public funds on reforestation lprojects which have reasonable expectation of longrun return on capital the land on funds advanced

we believe that ill isuflicrcut emphasis has been placed iin fhe past by all our people on instruction for youth in proper management of the land Only very small percentage of our farm lyouth earl afford to attend Ontario Agricultural College Midland Ki wauis lub established last year scholarship under which one young man from this district is being sent each year to the twoyear course in practical agriculture at bill such opportunities must necessarily be limited by cost We therefore recommend that the provincialggovernment estab lish in each farm area of 200 square miles demonstration school farm operated by the province but staffed with the exception of one or two instructors by young men and women who would be drawn lfrom the farms of the immediate area Thc pupils would contribute their labor in operating the farm in return for board story We therefore recommend that provincial and municipal agencies give immediate consideration to the enactment of legislation setting minimum size standards for tree cutting and that plan of compen sation be established under which public funds might be used to ac quirehforcst areas which are con sidered to be essential to the main tenance of watersheds We realize that the question of compensation for treelots which would be frozen by minimum cutting laws has bogged down the introduction of the latter and feel that it must be solved beforc municipalities can be expected to take further action EDUCATION INADEQUAIE Education in our pLimary and secondary schools as to the nation al value of our soil and our forests

concerned that we do not need viioilirl dciiiolistra tion farm lll these two counties At the present illilf we have county farm in each county and it would be posrrililc to hic lillltlll slratlonal work carried out on these farms If lfllllHlSlltlltill farm vcici established it would have to lll better than the other faiiiis lll llu iarea and at the same time means would have to beadoptod lo lllt to the farmer that it was ttlltlll ically sound This would be very hard to do since all government owned property is in the eyes of the public supported by an lll hausliblc source of funds Fur thcrmorc on one farm it is not possible to have all the soil types and conditions which would make is possible to demonstrate the bes practices for all soils of the two counties or for even all soils within township However because of our partic ular Setprbgny 1ihiflggfjlv merit Fuel Supply is up 11 vxnl llimih llii assistance be given in war in t0lln establishing drainage field daxr program and when the answers are found demonstration areas are vital in an educational ploglallito put these answers in the hands of the farmer it is easier to slrowliiui than to tell him Recommendations That no demonstration farms be set up in the area bill depart mental assistance be given in set ting up demonstrations at courin farms already existing These farms are already owned by the counties and if demonst rat ions were established on such farms it would be easier for the public to have free access to them t2 Demonstration projects should be encouraged 6n the privately owned farms of the county and adequate funds should be made available to offset the experimen tal risk in such projects FLOOD CONTROL Situation 1None of the surveys of main watersheds in the province is to be found in the counties of Simcoe and Dufferin and at the present time considerable damage is being done by excessive flooding from some of our rivers such as the Nottawasaga Much expensive work can be done with flood control having waterways deepened dams built etc but the most effective way is to have better control of the large amounts of water on our farms and in our forests number of areas were cited whre areas were reforested in the 1920s and today the level of water throughoutthe summer months is considerably higher than it was at that time and also there are no marked flooding conditionsin the spring This reforesting as well as be ing an important factor in the con trolling of oods will tend to raise the water table and wepworit have the serious shortageof water which we experience during some years Recommendation If That DominionProvincial survey be taken of the water shreds of Dufferin and Simcoe counties with view to making recommen dations on flood control in this area That more infprmation be made availablepn planting of main trees maintaining existing forests means of better flood control DRAINAGE SITUATION Large areas of land particularly in Dufferin county would make very good agricultural lands if they were drained In number of these areas outlet drains are necessaryin order to have means of getting rid of the surplus water Uiider thdirection of the drain age act it is possible to force ditch by having petition signed and presented to municipal coun cil number of cases have been ed by this meansa few years ago paid off Therefore it would seem that ditcheshave been forced on mun icipalities where there were strong economic reasons for nothavingl such ditches One ycase invpartiq cular was cited where $50000 was spentto drain the Tecumseth swamp This drain
