Recently we called ‘tentlon to the advisability of every Province in Canada growing their waste areas oi land with different kinds of wood, but we did not then fully grasp the importance oi doing so. Since then we have come into pos- session of a very able sketch on the subject. written by W. N. Bpsrhawk, Forest Economist oi the United States Forest Service Research. from which extract a fuller knowledge oi the cssentialities of the varied use- fulness oi the wood products of the manufacturing industries of the world in general. and Great Britain and the United States in particular.

The sketch referred to goes back fifty years and uncovers many facts which are not generally kept in view. Read these eye-openers from what he reviews, vlzz- .

Wood is Essential to Progress Of course. it is physically possible

For wheat rice may be substituted; for beef, mutton; hydro-electric plants, or solar energy may replace coal as a source of heat and power; instead gasoline we may run our cars with alcohol: silk or linen may be substituted for cotton; some com- blnation of lumlnum might con- ccivably take the place of steel.

Even to maintain existing standards as the world's population increases in dens- lty, it becomes more and more ne- cessary to utilize all the materials that nature provides. There is no record oi an important material becoming obsolete, no matter how many substitutes may have been found for specific uses."

THE NEW HARDIE ROTARY DIGGER

This machine has been tried and tested under all condi- .tions from the best to the worst. We have no hesitation in ‘guaranteeing. it to do first class work under the most adverse

conditions, where it would be impossible to use any other type of digger with satisfaction.

Comparing this digger with the elevator types in general we claim these following advantages: It has fewer working. parts, is far less complicated and will require a. great deal few- er replacements. it is much more durable and will outlast several-elevator types. L“ _ A 3H,”;

It is less liable to damage the crop.

It is infinitely superior in heavy land and particularly in land that is dirty and over-run with weeds and couchgrass.

It is considerably lighter in the draught. It is a. faster machine to pick behind. I ‘
