24 PROTECTION OF PLANTS, 1916-17 



The Forest Service can assist the forest owners in the following ways: 



I. In preparing a plan of management of the woodlot. 



II. Infurnishingattheordinary price the necessary plants for filling the 

 clearings in the property. 



III. In indicating the methods of cultivating the most profitable species 

 of trees for the woodlot. 



When it becomes necessary to examine the woodlot the conditions will 

 be as follows: 



The Forest Service will pay the salary of an expert who is appointed 

 to make the examination ; but the forest owner will defray the expenses of 

 board and transportation, the estimated amount of which should be for- 

 warded in making the application, so as to avoid misunderstandings. 



It would be preferable for several neighbouring owners to unite so as to 

 reduce the individual expenses; and from the standpoint of the Forest 

 Service this will be very helpful, for we have only a small number of forest 

 engineers at our disposition, and, consequently, cannot send them every- 

 where. 



We hope that those interested will study this question seriously, since 

 it is greatly to their advantage, and that they will profit by the assistance so 

 generously offered by the Provincial Government, thereby increasing the 

 interest from their property and, consequently, their income.
