don were many fascinating journeys as 

 guests of the British Government, For 

 six days, the delegates were taken on a 

 special train to Scotland and there by 

 miles of tramping and motor car runs 

 saw something of the healthy progress 

 of private forestry on the large estates 

 and what has been initiated already by the 

 recently appointed Forestry Commission. 

 It was in common evidence that the soil 

 conditions and abundant natural moisture 

 under which plantations have been estab- 

 lished guarantee the fullest success to the 

 British Forestry Commission in building 

 up a reserv^e of coniferous timbers. Such 

 exotics as Douglas Fir and Sitka Spruce 

 attain remarkable height and diameter in 

 even sixty years, quite equal to, if not 



beyond, the best records on the Pacific 

 Coast of Canada. Afore details of the 

 British forests and the planting pro- 

 gramme of the British Government will 

 be given in future issues of this mag- 

 azine. 



As every elaborate plan depends upon 

 its executive officer, the Imperial For- 

 estry Conference was most fortunate in 

 having the tireless aid of Mr. O. J. 

 Sangar, M.C., w^ho as Secretary of the 

 Conference performed a prodigious 

 amount of work and made the dav-to- 

 day life of the delegates so free from 

 anxiety as to quite unsettle many of them 

 for the rough going of their normal 

 existence.
