Government a vast sum of money in 

 replanting. It means that our herit- 

 age is returning; a new forest is liorn 

 to enrich our country in a future time. 



There are still large portions of bar- 

 rens not seeded as yet, but if these 

 conditions exist on average barrens 

 today, is it not reasonable to believe 

 that other portions will re-seed as 

 years go by? 



It would be a crying shame for an- 

 other fire to destroy this grand con- 

 tribution, which Nature is again giv- 

 ing to us, and I hasten to make an 

 appeal in behalf of these young trees 



for protection — for a Provincial For- 

 ester to direct afifairs and intelligent 

 Rangers to trail earless sportsmen, 

 who do not realize the possibilities of 

 fire. 



Forest conditions effect everybody, 

 and to avoid a forest famine in the 

 future, we must act now. The Gov- 

 ernment must spend some money on 

 them, and every businessman in the 

 Dominion of Canada should be a mem- 

 ber of the Canadian Forestry Associa- 

 tion. Once their shoulders get behind 

 the wheel of forest protection, give it 

 a push and keep it going! 



These pictures illustrate the good work done by rangers patroUing the Cochrane district of Northern 

 Ontario. They have persuaded settlers to pile their slash for safe burning. In such hazardous country 

 an ounce of prevention is worth a ton weight of cure.
