\/ THE STUMP LAND PROB!

The problem of successful settle- ment of logged-off lands is one of the biggest factors in the future prosper- ity of the majority of our rural popu- lation.

Intensive cultivation of this huge area is economically absurd, in our generation, as much of the produce produced on the small acreage now cleared is a glut on the available mar- kets.

An organized industry would, how- ever, create an economical outlet for our excess of population over present and would

industrial requirements hold this excess profitably in the country.

There is*one class of farming, -par- ticularly suited to all present condi- tions excepting that of price of land, and that is sheep farming.

Sheep eat down the growth of all but alder on slashed over areas, grad- ually killing the roots; the rotten roots can be cheaply removed after a few years, whereas the cost of clearing out green roots is prohibitive. Sheep can be carried oyer ‘lean’ periods on cheap food, whereas dairy cattle, hogs and poultry can be wintered only by feeding cash crop.

Mutton and wool are always jn heavy demand, and are subject to less fluctuations than the product of any other animal.

Sheep farming on & big scale can- not, however, be conducted profitably on bench lands at current prices in competition with the cheaper lands of other countries engaged in the same industry. The solution would seem to lie in long-term leases. Hund- reds of tl ds of acres of slashed

and logged-off “lands_ that are now impossible to clear could be employed, the second growth killed off, and fu- ture clearing made easy and inexpen- sive. ‘The main economic factor should be faced at once if these lands are not to lie unproductive.

PREDICT MANY MORE HIGHWAY SEPARATIONS

(By E. E. Duffy) Were it not for the highway accom- pills of some there might be some fear that mere man will never be able to cope successfully with automobile traffic needs. Whenever the Wayne County (Mich- igan) Board of County Road Commissi~ oners issues its annual report there is always mentioned some forward look- ing achievement that should stir the heart of him who would have highways wide, safe and conveniently designed. This time the report tells the world about a superhighway elevated grade separation nearing completion. «This separation, at the intersection of two important arteries, ¢ach consisting of two strips of concrete each 40 feet wide portends the elimination of ground le- vel crossings of busy highways. Optimism on this point is indicated by the report itself: “We believe it is the’forerunner of thousands of such that will be con- structed well over the nation for it Is built to fill a demand and not to create one. It is in itself proof of need”. The Michigan-Southfield Superhigh- way grade separation is but a part of the Master Plan adopted some years ago by Detroit and vicinity. Aside from the construction of lengthy mile- ages of highways 40 feet and wider, the Master plan takes into consideration all factors that have to do with ease of traffic flow. Wayne County has 28 grade separa- tions completed, of which 26 are rail- road and two highway. Nine railroad are under and plans are being made for the building of 11 more. ‘From this it may be seen that the Detroit area is recognizing that the automobile is a factor in economic life that must be served.

The Poplar Women's Institute con- cert held in the Poplar community hall on Friday evening proved a very succ- essfull affair. The attendance num- bering about 50 people. Proceeds for the evening amounted to $12.00 and| when expenses are paid $8.15 will be left clear.

Mrs. Hughes won the adult's ist prize and Albert Smith children’s 1st for drawing the lucky ticket.

Some of the entertainers were unable to attend owing to the flue, but those who were there were thoroughly en- joyed. Mrs. Kitchen gave a solo and piano selection, Mrs. Heywood sang, Miss Stewart sang and danced and Mr. Atkin sang. Mr. Atkin was also chair- man for the evening. y After the concert a dance was held for which Mrs. Kitchen played.
