Is. 



Several Ontario municipalities have already 

 commenced planting trees on highways and in 

 parks as memorials to those who enlisted for ths 

 Great War. 



In order to assist this work, the Canadian 

 Forestry Association is distributing a brochure, 

 especially prepared by Mr. B. R. Morton, B.ScF., 

 of the Dominion Forestry Branch, who has had 

 wide experience in tree nursery work and tree 

 planting. Complete directions are given for the 

 selection of trees, whether from a nursery or a 

 wood lot. 



It is highly advisabl? that, in view of th? 

 risks of directly transferring trees from the 

 dense woods to an open highway, members of 

 the Canadian Forestry Association should write 

 in at once for copies of the brochure and en- 

 deavor to guide intelligently the efforts of tree 

 planting committees. 



THE HOHENZOLLERN SAWYER. 



The former Kaiser William of Germany re- 

 cently completed sawing into logs his thou- 

 sandeth tree since he took refuge at Count von 

 Bentinck's Castle, near Amerongen, Holland, ac- 

 cording to a news despatch dated March 1 7th. 

 From the thousandth tree souvenirs of the 

 achievement were cut and presented to admir- 

 ing members of the Bentinck family, and to 

 others who had assisted the ex-emperor in his 

 work. Expert sawyers of the neighborhood 

 compute the value of the wages Herr Hohenzol- 

 lern would have earned, if he had been paid the 

 union rate, at about $23.00 for the whole period 

 of ten weeks during which he used the saw for 

 three hours daily.
