NEWMARKET It was pointed out this morning by the Secretary Mr for every acre of ag ricultural land helped by the lire probably five acres- of treegrowing land have been disastrously affected Over huge areas of try swept by the fire the only crop possible to grow is a tree crop stated Mr Black Fire- not only kills the merchantable timber on such land but does away with the young growth which the future woodharvests of those areas ab solutely depend Under present conditions it is extremely doubt ful if more than a fraction of the timber still standing will be sal vaged The loss is therefore of most serious proportions be cause only crop that thous ands of North Ontario acres will grow namely pulp wood and limber is cleaned out by fire the chance of new forests arising is greatly reduced and these non- agricultural acres must head for a condition of barrens instead of producing valuable wood crops year after year and supporting numerous industries in the fu ture As for the real agricultural land from which the forest growth has been partially burnt the incoming settler is in just- about the same state as if he the tract in its na tural green condition The it- places His wife
