Large tracts of unbroken forest still that district interspersed, with a fair amount o some of which enjoy a certain amount of pros | <Good pasture is abundant, and there is: a amount of land on which good crops of hay, oats,. tatoes, turnips, spring wheat, and even corn, can grown. Cattle and sheep do well there, and some the farmers are prosperous. Crops are particula good there this season, with the single exception corn, which is poor and backward. f § All the way up from Torontoâ€"a distance of some two hundred. milesâ€"I observed excellent crops of hay, fall and spring wheat, oats, barley a2nd mixed grains; while potatoés were exceptionr?lly good all ‘over, and other root crops were excellerit. Corn, however, was generally speaking, short and backward, although a few good fields were seen. __In the section where the writer was staying large quantities of wild strawberries and raspherries could be had for the picking, delicious in flavor and large in size. Indeed, some of the latter were as large and fine as any grown in the Niagara district, and they made a very pleasant addition to the menu, especially when served with cream two or three times a day. Fortunately, the bassâ€"both black and greenâ€"which abound in the numerous small lakes up there, had not joined the fishes‘ union and were free to boldly seze the angle worms and other simple lures provided ‘by the writer; a privilege of which they abundantly availed themselves. aes ¢ A greater contrast in every way to this level, highâ€" 1y cultivated and densely populated district could scarceâ€" ly be found, but it is a delightful place to make holiâ€" day in; beautiful scenery, pure and bracing air, and the charm of comparative solitude.. ) How restful to the spirit are the eternal hills, the placid lakes and the unâ€" broken forests. â€" And to the latter, these are plenty. The Sunday before leaving my host drove me over twelve miles to visit a prosperous Scotch farmer and his family in their comfortable home on the banks of a beautiful lake. _ And nearly all the way, with the exâ€" ception of one or two small clearings, we passed through the virgin forest. Just a narrow road amongst the tall and stately maples, birches, hemlocks, etc. Trees arching overhead for miles and miles, and such trees! And every now and then we margined the shores of a beautiful lake. well stocked with fish. access Explorers sent out by the Quebec government reâ€" port that sixty per cent. of the area on the north shore of the St. Law:rence has been burnt; also that a large proportion of the timber in the St. Lawrence Valley has been burnt, and: everybody knows that devastating hres have repeatedly swept over large portions of the great forest areas of Northern Ontario. And in all these places from 50 to 100 years must elepse before a new crop will ‘be possible. $ It"is also a fact that our forests are one of our greatest financial assets with a world market for paper and lumber. Also a large section of our people require wood for both building and winter heating, so that it would appear that protection of our forests against fire and the carrving Gut of 2 pract‘cal scheme. ‘of r~ompt reiorestration ought to be one of the first conâ€" s.der«tions of our Federa: and Provincial governments. According to the latest figures gathered by the Doâ€" m.nion Bureau. 0o: Statistics, the annual cut of timbe: from Canadian forests is 2,250,000,000 cubic feet, whereâ€" the annual growtheis only 2,000,000,000 cubic feet.". So we zze cutt ng 250,000,000 more timber than we are proâ€" ducing, without taking into account the terrible annual losses from fire, insects, fungi, etc. We are living on our capitalâ€" and such a practice will infalliably result in bankruptcy._ Nearly ninety pe=‘cent. of our forests belong to the people and for this the people are consequent.yv respons‘ble and only an enlightened public opinion will save them. It is true that the Canadian Forestry Association has been doing some good work, but the Dominion government cut the grant to the association substantially last year, inâ€" stead of iIncréezsing, it. & P The following are some of the> remedies which should be at once carâ€"ied into effect: School children should be careully taught the value of our forests and the need for protection. â€" Present laws to protect our forests should be rigid:y enforced! Each province should have a competent forester in charge with adeâ€" quate means at his disposal and unhampered by political influence. s Few people have heard the swan song, but nearly everybody has heard a lame duck squeal. ‘ 2C So many laymen hunger for publicity that a nicâ€" turesque murderer can‘t get over three days on the first page. : Wife: The person who. finds the key to the trunk just after you have broken it open,. t i And so candy costs the U.
