Another ten years went by and when I went ‘back to see the old ‘*homestead‘‘ what do you think the present owner said to me? Not that we had filled the fence corners with stones, or kept the fields clean from weeds, but that the planting of that row of maple trees was the finest thing we had done on the old farm. That remark and the fact that I was fortunate or. unfortunate enough to be chosen as President of our Agriâ€" cultural Society for this year has prompted me to suggest ‘‘A tree planting day in Temiskaming.‘‘ ® The fires which swept this district in the early days left very few trees and as you drive by the farmers‘ homes toâ€"day it seems to be the one thing needful. True, there are some of our farmers who are beautifying their homes ‘by planting trees and. During the past few weeks The Advance has been giving particular space to matters regarding trees and forestry. This has ‘been due not only to the general interest all the year round in this district in such matters, but also ‘because of the fact that this month ‘‘Forest Week""‘ is being held in an effort by the Dominion and Proâ€" vinceial (Governments to increase the public interest in forestry matters. Another reason for the recent special attention given to forestry matters was the interest aroused by the proâ€" _posal of the Kiwanees to plant trees throughout the town of Timmins this summer. . It is recognized by all thoughttul people that for beauty and for. shade, trees are very necessary in the Northern communities. _ The methods of clearing land up here mean that towns and villages are usâ€" ually left without any trees at all, while very few are left on the farms being cleared. To right the situaâ€" tion thus created, there is only one thing to do,â€"to plant trees. Mr. Wes. MeKnight, president of the New Lisâ€" keard Agricultural Society, has taken up the question of treeâ€"planting in his usual thorough manner, and the following letter which he has written on the subject should be read with very general interest :â€" Mr. McKnight‘s Letter Forty years ago this Spring father and I planted a row of maple trees on the old hoinestead along the lane from the house to the road. There would be about thirty trees in all. Well I remember father telling ine that in fifteen or twenty years they would be fine large shade trees. That seemed a long time to wait. _ Year after year I watched them grow, and ten years later when we decided to sell the old farm and move to Temisâ€" kaming those trees had grown to a considerable size and were greatly admired by the family as well as the passersâ€"by. | Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Fitting of Glasses Hoursâ€"10â€"12, 2â€"5, 7â€"8 and by appointment.
