Two yeax-s ago in one selective cutt- ing, Hanline harvested a- quarter nil- lion board feet of hardwood, netting him $5,-500.00. Only through scientific woodlot management has this woodlot farm* er been able to realize his success. Four generations of highly success- ful filfe prevention practices and re- stocking with '^oung seedlings has transformed once thought of waste land into a cash jcrop. Efficient cutting of timber and elimination of wa&t«s would allow for increased yields and prevent de- struction of the country's precious woodlands. Cutting should be timed to improve the quality of the wood- lot and increase cash returns. Im- provement xaittino- betters growinsj conditions iij the woods. Thinning gives the more valuable species room to develop and release-cutting con- trols growth of undesirable saiplings. Finally there are Oitilization Outt- inge which prepare logs for sale or fire wood. If the condition of the woodlot is carefully studied and anr^yzed and good woodlot manageraent practices ftve employed, the much needed cash for further development of Canad- ian farms will be available.

Flesherton Creamery THE HOME OF SERMCE & SA'riSh\\C TIO-X Phone 66 FLESHERTON Angus Avis, Manager The annual meeting of the Ont- aro_Farm Radio Forums was held in ioronto on April 6th, with over, 200 delegates ffom all parts o* On- tario attending,' Fronl Grey and Bruce Countie.? as official delegates were Wesley Magwood, Hanover; Ed. Lang, 'Flesherton; Jas. Powers, Chepstow and Lloyd Jasper. Accor,ding to reports tabled by those in charge, the past season has oeeii the most swwBssful in farm forum history. A brief jwragraph, taken from tlie report of Clare Burt, Ontario's secretary, pretty well sums up the ^^el•y detailed report given. 'Hie highest number of re- ports received in one week this year w;as 714, exceeding i)v 11 the pre- vious all-time high. Our forum mor- tality from the 19*8-49 season is tho lowest on record. This is a direct result of active county forum com- mittees, and county Federation field- men, whose sup(port has been great- ly increased. Grey County is still on the lead with 96 active forums. Wellington is second with 63 active forunlte. The most important item on the agenda of the annual meeting was the adoption of a new farm forum ronstitution to provide for equitable administration and guidance of the farm forum- project. The new con- stitution was proposed bv Howard Church, past president, and is very complete in ev«ry detail wihich, it was felt by the meeting, will pro- vide for equalized oarticipation by all_ rural communities in Ontario. Briefly, the constitution is as fol- lows EJach county will set ui a farm forum committee and the chairman of the county committee will be a director of tlie zone executive. The zone chairman will be a dir- ector of the provincial board. Thus the provincial board is made uio of the president, the honorary presid- ezit, six zone directors, and three <meim(bers of the executive- of the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, (aopo'inited by the Ontario .Federa- tion. This board will elect from their group an executive that will be known as the Ontario Farm Radio ForuiTi Council. Ed. Lang of Flesherton w-as elected chairman of zone 2, which c-ompfis- es the counties of Grey, Bruce, Well- ington. Huron, Perth, Waterloo, Ox- ford and Brant. At a meerirtg of the provincial board held immediately after the annual meeting, 'Jas. Powers of Bruce county received the unanim- ous vote as president. Council: H. ChuiiH:h, hon. president; Ed. Lang, 1^ vice-tpresident, and W. Sutton, 2nd vice~president.
