many of the older farms m Manitoba on plains 

 originally wholly bare, where the home is found 

 in the shelter of an encircling bluff. 



HOW MAY PRACTICAL RESULTS BE OBTAINED? 



1. Let the government grant $1,000 each to 

 a town and municipality who together plant a 

 ten mile length of road on both sides and have 

 trees in condition to pass the inspector a year 

 later. 



2. Make a special piece of road an object 

 lesson, say the forty miles between Regina and 

 Moose Jaw. 



3. Appoint an enthusiastic officer as forestry 

 and country planning expert for the province, 

 who will carry on propaganda, co-operate with 

 municipality authorities, inspect tree planted 

 areas and do all possible to develop the forestry 

 possibilities of the province. 



4. Encourage the establishment of municipal 

 nurseries. Ten dollars' worth of seed a year 



will, in a few years, produce surprising results. 

 The Forestry Journal reports that 1,000 seed- 

 lings a day may be planted by an adaptation of 

 the cabbage-planting machine. As rows of 

 trees to be satisfactory must be in almost un- 

 broken lines, the best results can be reached by 

 municipal action only. 



5. Co-operate with school, church and com- 

 munity authorities in the matter of plans for tree 

 protection around school buildings, churches 

 and municipal buildings, parks and playgrounds. 



6. Prepare exhibits of lantern slides showing 

 the results of such country planning. 



7. Where low wet spots are near the road, 

 wells six or eight feet deep should be dug and 

 filled up with boulders, or holes bored with post 

 hole augers six feet deep and filled with stones, 

 gravel, brush, etc., and covered over with soil. 

 This has proved very effective both for grain 

 and trees. 



DR. BAKER FOR COMMERCIAL POST 



The .American paper industry has taken over 

 Dean Hugh P. Baker, head of America's biggest 

 forestry college, the New York State College of 

 Forestry, at Syracuse, under conditions which 

 indicate that America's timber industry appre- 

 ciates the need for a study of future raw mater- 

 ials, and for men with a technical knowledge 

 of forestry in industry. 



Dr. Baker resigned Jan. 10 to accept twice 

 the salary which he is now rated as receiving, 

 to become secretary-treasurer of the American 

 Paper and Pulp Association, with headquarters 

 at New York. He takes up his new work prob- 

 ably about March 1 . 



The selection of Dean Baker for the execu- 

 tive officer of the parent association of Am- 

 erica's great paper industry, means, according 

 to Dr. Baker, a greater opportunity for the ad- 

 vancement of the principles of the forestry pro- 

 fession than is possible in any college. His 

 letter of resignation outlines important phases 

 of American forestry development of the past 

 eight years, and also discloses that in the spring 

 of 1919 he refused an offer of $7,500 from the 

 outside, to remain as Dean of the college at a 

 $6,000 salary. 



"Canoes that have made Maps and History." 



EXPLORERS, TRADERS, AND TRAPPERS HAVE KNOWN THE 

 QUALITY OF LAKEFIELD CANOES FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS. 



When Canadian forests were in their pristine glory and when 

 the canoe was the chief means of wilderness transportation, 

 THE LAKEFIELD CANOE was being made and sold. 

 We build Canoes and Boats for every known purpose and 

 have several models with different sizes in each for every 

 possible requirement.
