'FOR3ST NOTES 





The timber industry represents 37 per cent of the 

 annual production of wealth in British Columbia. 



Boxmakers in the United States use more than four 

 and a half billion board feet of lumber each year or more 

 than one -tenth of the entire lumber cut of the country. 



Of two million sheep annually grazed in the state 

 of Utah, more than a million are on the national forests, or, 

 including lambs which are fattening for market on the forest 

 ranges, over a million and three-quarters. 



In addition to his own fire detection system, the 

 supervisor of the Palisade national forest, Idaho, was noti- 

 fied of each fire by from five to ten different local set- 

 tlers, who thus shot-red their cooperation in working f^r fire 

 suppression, 



The Uinta mountains of Utah, included within the 

 V7ase;tch, Uinta, and Ashley national forests, should become a 

 favorite recreation region, because of the many small lakes 

 within depressions scooped out by glacial drifts. Seventy 

 such lakes can be counted from Reid's peak, and one particu- 

 lar tovmship, 36 miles' square, contains more than a hundred.
