WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18. 1984 THE FLESHKRfeN ADVANCE Durham Stone Plant To Supply No. 10 Highway The Durham Chronitle says: "An announcement that will be of great interest locally ami will be welcomed with real enthueiaam by the employ- ees was issued by the Highways De- partment the first of the week to the cfffct that Durham crushed stone will be used in the paving operations on HiKhway No. 6 and 10. This will mean that the local stone plant will be kept busy supplying material to the contractors the greater part ol the summer and as the employees of the plant have had recent «x|)erience as to what it means when the plant is shut down during the summer there is no doubt that they will be highly pleased with this piece of news. Dr. D. B. Jamieson, who was in the city Wednesday interviewing the Minister of Highways, was given the assurance that Durham stone would be specified in these contracts. In all likelihood the mixing plant for the work on No. 6 will remain in the Stone Plant yard the same as last year, and the material hauled to the scene of operations by truck. The stone for the work on No. 10 will likely be shipped by rail." New Rector Appointed For Maxwell Church The Right Rev. C. A. Seagcr, D. D. Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Huron, has appointed the Rev. M. H. Elston, Rector of St. Luke's church, Yarmouth Heights in Elgin county to the pariHh, of Dundalk and Max- well, comprising St. Mary's church.

Mr. Elston is a native of the" city of St. Thomas and attended Huron college, London, grad uating in 1032. He was ordained Deacon the same year and will be raised to the Priesthood in a short time. He is a young man of great promise and will fill the pastorate ol these churches in a very capable man- ner. He will take charge the middle <if May.

Duncan HARDWARE - - FLESHERTON Baseball Prospects This Thursday evening a meeting of baseball players and fans has been called to discuss plans for l'J34 oper- ations. It is felt that a strong team can be welded together that will give any team in this section u real wel- come. Dundalk ana Kinvberley will no doubt have teams entered and a fourth team from Heathcote and Thombury is probable. As the latter are using Oeemore, Toronto and Coll- ingwood players this year, many ol those with Thornbury in 1933 would then be turned loose and their inclus- ion in a team from the north end of the valley, it would be strengthened considerably. A five team league jhould not be organized â€" cither four or six teams should compose the league and have games played every week. Interest in the League is then kept at a high level and a double .schedule with four teams entered would be the making of baseball here this year. It is not known yet what locality would field the sixth t-eam but if Markdale would come in there would be added interest. We want baseball served up to us in large quantities to make a successful year. Stimulated Egg Marktt The satisfactory out-turn of last year's storage egg deal and the new development of the export trade dur- ing the past year are factors which will lend a stimulating effect to the egg market during the coming spring. Another factor which, perhaps, h;as not been given sufficient considera- tion is that the demand for eggs for the manufacture of frozen eggs is much more active this spring than a year ago. At this time last year, stocks of frozen eggs in Canada were fairly h.'eavy and breaking and freez- ing operations during last spring were not very extensive. 1!hia year the situation is exactly reversed. Stocks of frozen eggs are now practically depleted and with business in general picking up there will be much more activity in the egg breaking industry during the coming spring. It is quite possible that the volume of eggs which will be used in thie freezing industry this year may be such as to relieve the market of practically the same quantity of eggs as was exported during 1933. It's the thing.s you tell confident ially that spread most rapidly and over the largest territory. RMR t-^TOBa SBRT10B F. T. HiLL&CO.,Ltd. CHAIN BTDBIW Markdale, Onttrio OUB 8ATBS 1f>n A LOT Smart!

If the present fine warm weather continues the farmers will shortly be working the land for their spring sowing. Already the fields are dry- ing fast and will soon be in fine shape for working. So far the highways are in good condition and drying out nicely on top, but whether the bottom will go out of them as it did last year remains to be seen. be sure to grow well is far better than planting thousands poorly where competition of the natural growth will choke them out. Eventually there will be no woodlot in a field if provision is not made to have seed- lings, saplings and polewood coming along to take the place of trees that are cut. Every farm should have an ever- green wind4>reak to protect the build- ings from the cold winds of winter. A farmer can establish a windbreak by making a cash outlay of (1 for express charges on the trees. In 10 to 15 years h,e will have an effec- tive windbreak that will increase the value of his larm and reduce the a- 1 mount of fuel neccsasry to heat the farmhouse. A year's delay in starts ing a w^dbreak mcan(> that th^ farm will be a year longer without an effective windbreak. Application blanks for trees and descriptive literature may be secured by writing the Forestry Branch, Par- liament Buildings, Toronto, or calling at the county agricultural office.

RESTOCKING THE WOOD L^T AND PLANTING ON THE FARM The season for planting trees is near, and plans should be made early as trees planted in early spring stand a much better chance of survival than those planted in late spring. The Forestry Branch is continuing the policy of free trees for planting and owing to the fact that there is a sur- plus of trees the former limit of 3,- 500 trees for reforestation purposes to one person will not be adhered to. The trees may be used for planting bare land, restocking a woodlot or the establishment of an evergreen windbreak. Five hundred trees are allowed to each applicant for planting a windbreak. Every f'arm should have a woodlot large enough to supply the farm- house with fuel and lumber for minor building and repairs in order that these products may be secured with- out making a cash outlay. Inferior soils such as sand, gravel, swamps, shallow and steep hillsides should be left in trees, as they will give very small financial returns if cultivated. These are the areas that should he planted, as they will continue to be a liability rather than an asset as long as they are destitute of trees. Planting is not necessary on areas that have large trees as they will produce seed and it will be distribut- ed by the wind, squirrels and other agencies. This natural reproduction can be secured by fencingr out the stock and it will be composed of the more valuable species if they are left and the less valuable (weeds) are re- moved in order that they will not produce seeds. The planting of a few hundred trees of valuable species not growing now in the woodlot will give more variety and will make quite n difference in the value of the woods fift.v years hence. .-V few trees well planted in locations where they will FOR SALE Marquis spring wheat, Irish white seed oats and number of young pig^ ready to wean. â€" P.
