THE PRINCE JOINS US ! 



PLANTING UP A WOODLAND. 



The Prince of Wales is one of the latest le- 

 cruits in the growing membership of the Cana- 

 dian Forestry Association. A letter received 

 by the Secretary of the Forestry Association 

 from Sir Godfrey Thomas expresses the interest 

 of the Prince in accepting Honorary Member- 

 ship in the Association. "I should be glad," 

 writes the Private Secretary to His Royal High- 

 ness, "if you would inform the Directors that His 

 Royal Highness much appreciates this invita- 

 tion which he is pleased to accept." 



Lieut. -Col. J. W. Harkom, Melbourne, Que., 

 a Director of the Canadian Forestry Associa- 

 tion, and one of the most devoted supporters 

 of the forest conservation cause, has never con- 

 tented himself with anythmg short of active 

 participation in forestry. This year Colonel 

 Harkom undertook to improve his woodland 

 property by plantmg two thousand white pine, 

 European larch and Norway spruce, and next 

 year will plant at least five thousand seedlings. 

 These have been planted in the openings from 

 which mature timber has been cut. Colonel 

 Harkom has found that about 85 per cent of the 

 planted stock survives.
