Land originally forested, but burned over and washed away until the stony sub-soil 

 is exposed. This particular location has been homesteaded. Crows Nest 

 District, Alberta. (From Forestry Branch, Department of the Interior). 



Good forestry practice. The forest as a resource perpetuated by wise use. Fire 

 damage minimized by proper brush disposal. A future stand of merchantable 

 timber assured by preservation of young growth.
