ply, where production has decreased nearly 

 60 per cent in 9 years. 



In the various Rocky Mountain ranges, 

 where 3 stations would cover, respectively, 

 central and northern Idaho, western Wash- 

 ington and western Montana; the central 

 Rocky Mountain region ; and Arizona, New 

 Mexico and Southern Utah. Artificial re- 

 forestation probably will be necessary there 

 to place timber on 5,000,000 acres of waste 

 lands. 



On the Pacific coast 2 stations where 

 over half of the present remaining timber 

 supply is located. 



GOING TO THE PRAIRIE FOR TREES 



One does not go to the Arctic for fruit 

 nor seek furs in the tropics and the last 

 place on earth the average individual would 

 think of securing trees would be the Can- 

 adian prairies. The very word conjures 

 up a picture of vast stretches of intermina- 

 ble treeless plains, for a great section of 

 the people of the continent are unaware of 

 what a misnomer the term is and how these 

 plains made to glow golden with the first 

 grain of the country have been beautified 

 by the extensive planting of trees of every 

 sort which thrive lustily as if sprung nat- 

 urally from the soil. 



That the whole continent does come to 

 the Canadian prairies for trees is evident 

 in the history of the Prairie Nurseries in 

 Saskatchewan, the largest nursery concern 

 in Western Canada and claimed to be the 

 largest grower of Caragana and Russian 

 poplar in the world. Not only have mil- 

 lions of trees been sent out to cover the 

 Prairie Provinces from the nursery but 

 their product is shipped as far east as Fort 

 William and as far north as the Peace Riv- 

 er Country. Nurseries in British Columbia 

 and Ontario also purchase considerable 

 stock from it, and shipments of consider- 

 able size have been made to the United 

 States, these including in the past year. 

 140,000 Caragana and 80.000 Box Elders or 

 Manitoba Maples. 



The greater part of the nursery is taken 

 up with plantations of the hardiest trees 

 and shrubs, Russian Poplar, Laurel Wil- 

 lows. Manitoba Maples and Caragana. A 

 beautiful new hedge shrub, the Russian 

 Olive, as well as Buckthorn, is also grown 

 largely for hedges, but the Caragana is the 

 most popular and 3,000,000 seedlings of 

 this variety were grown this year. A large 

 stock of the hardiest apples, plums, cherries 

 and small fruits is grown with the demand 

 increasing every year. The demand for 

 fruits and ornamental shrubs taxes the 

 utmost resources of the nursery, especially 

 currants, raspberries, and strawberries.
