INFORMATION 



During the year ending March 31, 1950, there was a sustained demand for 

 departmental publications. While these demands were of a general nature they 

 received a considerable upswing due to the fact that conservation has been placed on 

 the curriculum for school teaching. With the inclusion of this subject, there was a 

 very noticeable increase in the number of requests for publications dealing with the 

 conservation of our Natural Resources. 



Requests from the public for the staff publication Sylva reached a new high 

 during the year. Due to the ever-increasing demand and the mounting costs of 

 production it was found necessary to revise the mailing list and place the magazine 

 on a subscription basis. Commencing with Volume 5, No. 5, a subscription fee of 

 $1.50 per year was instituted. Those already on the mailing list had previously been 

 advised of the change. This action had the result of reducing the circulation to about 

 4,500 copies for the next few issues. There is still a great deal of public interest in 

 the magazine, however, and circulation on the new basis is steadily increasing. 



Distribution of all printed material was given particular attention and the 

 various publications received a wide coverage. In this connection it may be said that 

 the mailing lists were maintained in good order and are being constantly revised. 



Twenty-five publications were produced and published during the year, as 

 indicated in the following list:
