It is from this fall that the City of Calgary proposes to develop power. Note 

 the limestone formation; once burned over, it will remain bare for an indefinite

times as much timber has been destroy- 

 ed by fire in Canada as has ever been cut 

 by lumbermen. This view is sustained by 

 many lumbermen, some of whose estimates 

 exceed even this. 



The treatment of land cut or lumbered 

 over and destined to remain permanently 

 in forest is one of the big problems of 

 forestry on this continent. This is also 

 discussed, and plans are outlined for the 

 cutting of the timber so as to reduce as 

 much as possible the danger from fire. 



Of all kinds of land, cut-over timberland, 

 with chips, tree-tops and other debris 

 scattered around, presents the greatest 

 danger from fire — a fact that is emphasiz- 

 ed by many fires which occurred even 

 during the past summer in British Colum- 

 bia and western Ontario.
