STERRNTRNRRT "Try On Northern Tree died | FOREST LABORATORY By FRASER MacDOUGALL Canadian Press Staff Writer HERON BAY, Ont. (CP)--Each tiny sprig of spruce that springs up on a 400-acre plot of forest land in the Heron Bay area draws a fond glance from forester Ray Miller. Every spruce seedling that ger- minates--and survives--takes the 34-year-old native of the Ottawa Valley another step toward achiev- ing his objective of learning what can be done to help Mother Na- ture grow more spruce and grow them faster in the mixed-woods slopes of the Lake Superior coun- t Ty. Miller has charge of a wood-| acre in size. scarified plots. In non-scarified plots, the ratio was scarcely one in 20. TIME FOR NEW CROP He thinks that the time for scarification should be a. least five years before logging opera- tions to get a new crop of trees started before the old crop is har- vested. And he would couple with that killing of hardwoods, such as birch, with herbicide to reduce leaf litter These theories he based on re- sults of tests on 10 40-acre sec- tions into which RC17 is divided.

PRACTISE CONSERVATION where devotion to an ideal has paid off It has taken time for the concept of conservation to become a reality, but thanks to the single-mindedness and forethought of thousands of men and women, its very real advantages are now being enjoyed . « » # + « advantages in the form of millions of tree seedlings grown, distributed and planted each spring under the guidance of the Dept. of Forestry s « « trees to shelter men and animals, protect watersheds, furnish fuel and lumber; in short, to replenish Canada's greatest natural asset. s + IT'S IN YOUR INTEREST The Carling Conservation Club, now in its tenth year, salutes the Conservation Authorities of the province of Ontario. The intense devotion which the members of these authorities bring to their jobs is responsible for the marked advances made in conserving the watershéds of Ontario. Their efforts in such forms of conservation as flood control, erosion control, reforestation and anti-pollution . deserve the acclaim of all citizens. CARLING'S 72d Cp Ae BREWERY LIMI TED
