proper forestry policies. Without the driving 

 force of such concentrated pubHc sentiment, 

 many of the sound and practical laws and im- 

 proved administration in our Canadian pro- 

 vinces would to-day be lacking. 



These are but a few of the methods we use 

 to wm the Canadian people to careful guard- 

 ianship of their forest resources. 



FOR 1920 WE WANT 



To establish a Resident Secretary in the 

 Prairie Provinces to develop a tree-planting 

 campaign and arouse interest in forest fire pre- 

 vention. 



To establish a Children's Lecturer, working 

 exclusively with young folks in all parts of 

 Canada, and having the aid of motion pictures 

 in all his public meetings. 



To intensify all our campaigns of education. 



IT DEPENDS UPON YOU. 



We have no identity with any Government 

 or commercial body. Every dollar received is 

 a voluntary contribution. The prompt pay- 

 ment of the annual fee is the very best method 

 of keeping our constructive propaganda active.

SEEDING IN FURROWS VS. PLANTING 



Hegemeister Streck, of the German Forestry 

 Service, in a magazine article, asserts that re- 

 generation of clear-cut areas can be done fully 

 as successfuly by seeding as by planting. He 

 has used a system of strip seeding with excel- 

 lent results both as to germination and as to 

 survival through dry years such as 1911, 1915, 

 1917, and 1918. In 1911 and in 1918 the 

 spring droughts were so severe as to kill even 

 ten-year-old pines, while the one to four year 

 old plants in the seeded strips all survived. The 



1918 seeding which covered 23 hectares was a 

 complete success. He cleans off the raw humus 

 from strips 50 cm. wide, spaced 1 .5 meters apart, 

 and in the middle of the strip makes a furrow 

 10 cm. wide and of the same depth. This is 

 done in the fall, and early the next spring the 

 seed is sowed in the furrows and covered. Em- 

 phasis is laid on the need for carefully removing 

 all of the raw humus, and for sowing the seed 

 early so as to take advantage of the winter 

 moisture.
