FORESTS OF SIBERIA. 



The great forest resources of Siberia have, 

 up to the present, been exploited to only a very 

 small extent. The development of the timber 

 industry is essential for the future, if the nor- 

 mal trade of the country is to be restored. It is 

 estimated that there are 810,000,000 acres of 

 timber land in Asiatic Russia, two-thirds of 

 which are accessible for commercial purposes. 

 German and Swedish machinery has, up to the 

 present, been chiefly employed for saw-milling 

 purposes, but there is a good opening for the 

 introduction of Canadian saw-milling machin- 

 ery and logging appliances, especially in East- 

 ern Siberia. 



SHEEP VS. TREES. 



"We have seen that forestry may give em- 

 ployment to 30 men as against one man on 

 sheep, but this is with the proviso that the for- 

 est timber is close to its market. It cannot 

 walk 1 ,000 miles to its market, feeding itself 

 on the way like a flock of sheep." — D. E. 

 Hutchins.
