Angora goats have been used with profit to keep fire 

 lines clear of inflammable vegetation on national forests in 

 California. 



Last year the fire loss on the Canadian timber re- 

 serves was the smallest ever known, only one-fiftieth of one 

 per cent of the area being burned over. 



Zentaro Kawase, professor of forestry at the imperial 

 university of Tokio, Japan, has been making a tour of the na- 

 tional forests of this country to learn the government's meth- 

 ods of selling timber and of reforestation. 



More than 858,000 young trees are being set out this 

 spring on national forests in Utah and southern Idaho, and the 

 season is reported as particularly favorable to their success- 

 ful growth, 



Armstrong lake, within the Beartooth national forest, 

 Montana, is said to rival the famed Lake Louise of the Cana- 

 dian Rockies. It lies at an elevation of 7,000 feet surrounded 

 by towering mountains. A good road which can be traveled in 

 half a day by automobile connects it with the railroad at Bil- 

 lings. A rustic hotel has recently been completed, and many 

 trails maize the surrounding region accessible.
