LATENT POSSIBILITIES OF 

 THE FARM WOODLOT. 



By E. C. M. R., in Rural New 

 Yorker. 



As a timber estimator who is call- 

 ed upon to travel about the rural 

 districts of the country, I have noticed 

 one thing of special interest in the 

 farming communities, and that is the 

 almost universally run-down condi- 

 tion of the farm woodlots. And this 

 condition of the farm woodlots is 

 growing worse and worse year by 

 year as the constant misuse or neglect 

 of the woodlots goes on. As forestry 

 is one of the most important branches 

 of agriculture, I feel that attention 

 should be called to this serious situ- 

 ation. 



The present system of harmful 

 treatment of farm woodlots is shown 



LUMBERMEN ATTENTION! 



Cut shows tug crossing Bay Chaleur with over 

 2,000,000 in tow. Distance 35 miles. 



Invesigate our new patented towing 

 and holding boom. Will save its cost 

 many times over in preventing logs 

 going adrift while being towed in open 

 water, or for boomng swift running 

 rivers where logs are held.

by the fact that it is growing harder 

 and harder to get any good telegraph 

 pr)lcs, saw timber or even railroad 

 tics locally in our rural districts. In 

 many localities any small jjatch of 

 good timber is today a noteworthy 

 the stranger, even where every farm 

 has a comparatively large proportion 

 of land covered with tree growth. 

 On making inquiries a man like my- 

 self generally finds that everyone 

 recognizes that the woodlots in the 

 neighborhood are running down year 

 by year. 



D. E. HUTCHINS KNIGHTED. 



Sir David Hutchins, knighted in 

 recognition of his services to forestry 

 in the Empire, has worthily earned 

 that honor. The record of his ofificial 

 and other activities as a forester is 

 one upon which he has every right 

 to look back with pride. After serv- 

 ing for ten years in India, and for 33 

 in South Africa, he organized the 

 Forest Service of British East Africa, 

 and controlled it to the time of his 

 retirement as Chief Conservator. In 

 1909 he was retained by the British 

 Government to report on the forests 

 of Cyprus. He is the author of many 

 authoritative works on forestry, and 

 the eminence he has attained in his 

 professio nis indicated in the fact that
