FOREST TELEPHONES 



Make the life of the forester better 



worth living. They relieve him from 



the appalling loneliness. They help 



^— :t!>hihi to keep in human voice touch with 



•^ foresters miles away. 



I n emergencies — fire — sickness — hunger 

 — the speed with which they can sum- 

 mon help is marvellous.

A HELPFUL WORD FOR THE FORESTRY ASS'N 



The Forestry Journal acknowledges gratefully 

 the following comment upon the work of tha 

 Canadian Forestry Association contained in the 

 report of the Committee on Forests of the Com- 

 mission of Conservation: 



"The Canadian Forestry Association has been 

 extremely active in disseminating educational 

 propaganda along forestry lines. This work has 

 extended to all the provmces, but is particularly 

 notable in the east. Through co-operation with 

 the Railway War Board, a special car was pro- 

 vided and equipped with educational exhibits. 

 Lecturers were provided, through co-operation 

 with Provincial, Dominion and private forest 

 organizations, and lecture trips were made to 

 numerous points in Ontario, Quebec, New Bruns- 

 wick and Nova Scotia. It is to be hoped that 

 this work can be continued, and extended, if 

 possible, to the western provinces. 



"The Forestry Association is doing splendid 

 work along many different lines, and is worthy 

 of the greatest possible support from Dominion, 



Provincial and private agencies. It has become 

 a very definite force in the direction of getting 

 things done along the lines of forestry and fire 

 protection. Its usefulness would be greatly in- 

 creased by the establishment of a branch office 

 in the west, possibly at Vancouver, and it is to 

 be hoped that the necessary financial support 

 may be made available to this end. 



MARKING FOREST LAND IN INDIA. 



Forest demarcation began in India over half 

 a century ago. As regards land, the situation 

 was similar to .Australia when the whitc> man 

 landed. All the land was Government land, and 

 excepting, partially, in one province, has re- 

 mained Government land ever since. Thus, 

 when forestry was started, the Government had 

 a free hand; and forest demarcation was car- 

 ried out in the most complete and thorough 

 manner.
