OSHAWA, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1922 on Questions and Answers Conducted by the Canadian Forestry Association Forestry. + Q.. What are the gommonly ac- cepted causes 'for the series of fores fires that have ravaged Northern On- tario periodically? A. The Porcupine fire in 1911 and what is known as the Claybelt disaster of 1916 were both due to un- restricted land clearing fires started by settlers for the purpose of hurn- ing up the wooded debris on their farm lands, Everyone recognizes the necessity of using fire for this purpose but the operation is render- ed highly dangerous unless closely supervised by , government officers, No such burning should be allowed except where wind and heat condi- tions make it reasonably safe, The general public sentiment in Northern Ontario has always been in favor of rapid burning off of the country so as to clear land for farming and mining purposes, This of course cannot be accomplished except at the cost of human life and the des- truction of millions of dollars of real property. Q. What is the best time in the Fall to transplant young Maple Trees? A. After the leaves have fal- len and before frost has set in heavi ly: Make sure to disturb the roots as little as possible, paying attention particularly to the small hair roots which are vital to the recuperation of the tree in its new position. Make the planting hole plenty hig enough to accommodate the roots and sift in the finest soil immediately about the roots and tramp the earth firm- ly.

Have many of the munici-, palities in the United States or Can- ada attempted to build up municipal forests with the object of a future tuel supply as well as developing an area for recreation ' A, Several Canadian munici- palities have already started com munal forests much on the plan of the French and Swiss communal for- ests, One of the most notable is that of Carthag N.Y, On a tract of two thousand w.res 585,000 trees have been set out in order to pro- tect the watershed areas on which the municipal water supply depends and to provide for future supply of timber. The trees set out fifteen years ago now measure from 15 to 18 feet in height and 6 inches in diameter, This tract eventually will furnish a million hoard feet of lum- her a year.. In Europe, where plant- ed forests are a well-established source of revenue, returns of from $7 to $12 an acre are secured from community forests, It's easier to lengthen a skirt than @ bobbed head o' habr.--Narfolk Ledger -Dispatch, When Greek- meets Greek, a Turk gets two at one shot.-- Nashville Ten- nesseau.
