Editor's Note: — The Canadian Forestry Association sent to the prairie pro- 

 vinces this year a Tree Planting Car, in charge of 'Mr. Archibald Mitchell, a 

 well-known Western authority. The car is fitted as a motion picture auditorium, 

 with its own projector and electric generating plant, thus being able to carry on 

 its educational work independent of local limitations. The enterprise has been 

 successful from every point of view. During August and September, the route 

 of the Car will take "it over the C.N.R. from Calgary to Saskatoon, thence south- 

 ward on the C.P.R. into Southern Saskatchewan and ^lanitoba.

 Anderson, of Barnvvell, Alberta (near Lethbridge), is helping; to refute this idea. The shelter-belt 

 shown in the picture is four years old, and stands from 16 to 20 feet high. Growth has been at-

 Anderson handled his planting and cultivating intelligently, as you will gather from Mr. Mitchell's 

 article printed in these pages.
