EXHOITION CAR TOURING NORTHERN 

 ONTARIO 



The railway exhibition car of the Canadian 

 Forestry Association is making a decided hit all 

 through Northern Ontario. As many as one 

 thousand visitors a day have called to see the 

 various displays which are attractively arranged. 

 The car is exceptionally well fitted up for the 

 purpose and contains a multitude of exhibits 

 showing the manufacture of pulp and lumber. 

 There is also a model forest nursery, model 

 lookout towers, forest telephone equipment, a 

 working wireless system, a maple sugar bush, 

 as well as a nexhibit of forest insects and their 

 depredations. A motion picture lecture is 

 given every evening in a local hall of each place 

 visited and deals almost exclusively with the 

 importance of the forest industries and the need 

 of guarding their raw materials.

FOREST SEED FOR SCOTLAND 



The New Westminster British Columbian re- 

 ports: Mr. B. R. Morton of the Dominion For- 

 estry Branch, has been on the Coast since July 

 taking up again the work of supplying Sitka 

 spruce and Douglas fir seeds to the Board of 

 Agriculture, Scotland, for much-needed refor- 

 estation purposes. Mr. Morton initiated this 

 work at the coast in 1917. 



Mr. Morton is finding it difficult to secure 

 good spruce seeds in quantity, according to his 

 interview with the Pacific Coast Lumberman. 

 However, he proposed to extend his search to 

 the Queen Charlotte Islands and Prince Rupert. 

 At first Scotland had asked for red cedar seeds 

 only, but will now take all kinds as long as 

 they are from the coast trees, the interior trees 

 not being suitable. 



Mr. Morton is now setting up in Kamloops 

 a seed extracting plant. It occupies a stable 

 building, and consists simply of racks, with trays 

 to fit — 3^/2 by 21/2 feet having screen bottoms — 

 and a furnace. The cones are spread out on 

 the trays, and the room is heated to 100 de- 

 grees. In from two to five hours the cones burst 

 open — except those of the jack pine and the 

 lodgepole pine, which require up to 24 hours 

 of this heating. The trays are shaken every so 

 often, causing the seeds to drop through to the 

 floor, where they are swept up. Afterwards 

 the burst cones are thrashed for seeds that still 

 remain in them.
