several private corporations including 

 the Laurentide Company, Riordon 

 Pulp & Paper Co., Ahitibi Power & 

 Paper Co., and the Bathurst Lumber 

 Co. In addition to a survey to deter- 

 mine the extent and nature of the 

 natural reproduction, permanent 

 sample areas are established on which 

 the conditions affecting the growth 

 are studied and experiments in dif- 

 ferent methods of cutting are being 

 conducted to determine the best and 

 most economical means of securing a 

 satisfactory reproduction. The im- 

 portance of maintaining the timber 

 supply is recognised to such an extent 

 in eastern Canada that extensive 

 planting operations are being under- 

 taken."

GREAT DEMAND FOR 

 FORESTERS. 



Syracuse, N.Y.— America's realiza- 

 tion of the urgent need for more for- 

 ested land and a better utilization of 

 the products of the forest has been 

 demonstrated this year as never be- 

 fore by the call for trained foresters 

 made upon the New York State Col- 

 lege of Forestry at Syracuse. 



This year's senior class numbers 26 

 men, some of whom returned from 

 the army for the completion of their 



college work, men who are now avail- 

 able for professional work. In ad- 

 dition there are 24 juniors, who, ac- 

 cording to the custom of the college 

 are required to takek five months of 

 practical work from May to October 

 t- be permitted to take their senior 

 class work in the fall. 



To care for these 52 men, the col- 

 lege has received calls from govern- 

 mental and private concerns for over 

 300 men. There are so many calls 

 for trained men that the graduates 

 and juniors are not forced to decide 

 quickly, but are able to make a selec- 

 tion of the best ofifers which are 

 made. This 300 men demand is in 

 adidtio nto calls for untrained men 

 for general woods work. 



PINE MEN SUPPORT RESEARCH 



The U.S. National Research Coun- 

 cil has received a gift from the South- 

 ern Pine Association of $10,000 to 

 pay for the incidental expenses of a 

 co-ordinated scientific study by a 

 number of investigators of the re- 

 growth of trees on cut-over forest 

 lands with the aim of determining the 

 best forestry methods for obtaining 

 the highest productivity. Although 

 some of these cut-over lands can per- 

 haps be most advantageously used for 

 agricultural purposes there is a large 

 acreage of them which will yield bet- 

 ter returns if devoted to re-forestation. 



"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.
