holder for after noon and evening attendance these soils have little value for crops or pasture the man with a farm composed entirely of good agricultural soil should consider carefully if it is a good policy to break up the entire acreage for cropping or whether he should have a small acreage for fuel timber and also to enhance the beauty of the landscape if he leaves a small acreage he should manage it to se cure the highest financial return keeping in mind always the future of the woodlot by cutting to secure reproduction of the most valuable species the man with light sandy soil or steep hillside should aim to keep the land in timber as it is liable to become a liability to him if it is broken whitchurch lies many examples of fine hardwood bushes next to blow sand the assessment of whitchurch gives the following acreages cleared land 51101 acres so per cent woodland g42g acres 103 per cent slashland 1701 acres 2 5 per cent swamp or waste ssi acres 16 per cent all acreage given as woodland can not be considered in the woodlot class as they are scattered tree types with no re production the assessment roll shows a large number of farms without any woodland on account of the light sandy soils in the north east there is a higher percentage of woodland in the east side o the township the ideal farmers woodlot is one composed of the valuable species with all sizes represented from the large tree to the tiny seedling all the space should be growing trees and they should be close enough to procure good height growth and pruning of branches but not so close that competition is too pro nounced in a woodlot of this type the farmer may take out the large mature trees which represents the yearly growth on the woodlot woodlots are valuable to the farmer to obtain fire wood lumber maple syrup etc and they provide winter work add to beauty of land scape and prevent floods by snow remaining longer in the bush also they break up destroying wind storms the forestry branch will send a trained forester to look over a woodlot with the owner and advise him on the best methods of handling for present financial returns and future growth leave your name with the

late frosts last spring mr ivan walker son of mr and mrs henry walker had the mis fortune of having his car burned up on sunday afternoon stopping near hawkins garage south of union- ville at the corner of no7 highway it appears that ivan drained the sediment bulb of his car a ford roaster and on starting the engine again the whole vehicle hurst into flames a call was put in for the unionville chemical truck but some- ciio evidently got their orders mixed and by the time they arrived the car was a total loss ivan has our sympathy in his misfortune we learn from a report in a local newspaper that the markham township council drew exception to our comment on the road build ing being carried out on the seventh now dear readers we believe that there wore perhaps some of tho members of that august body who registered their disapproval rather than the council as a body how ever the press is the voice of the people and as there were some who were dissatisfied with the state of affairs hence we considered it only fair to air their views for whatever they may have been worth we sincerely hope that it may turn out all right bcause if it doesnt it will be just too bad and we will ad
