SMALL TIMBER LOTS WANTED 



Mr. Frank J. D. Barnjum, of Annapolis 

 Royal, N. S., writes: "I am willing to pur- 

 chase a few small timber lots containing 

 a good growth of pine or spruce trees in 

 different parts of Nova Scotia, located 

 either on our main highways or bordering 

 on the line of a railway, for the purpose of 



saving and perpetuating some of the pres- 

 ent forest tree growth. These lots will 

 never be cut over, nothing but the over 

 mature or dead or blown down trees being 

 removed from time to time as becomes 

 necessary, keeping them in perpetual for- 

 est growth, under the care of a competent 

 forester, thus serving the four-fold pur- 

 post of an example in scientific forestry, 

 a picnic ground or Forest Park for the 

 people as well as an oasis in the landscape 

 and a reminder of the beautiful forests that 

 once existed in this province." 



Address Mr. Barnjum, giving size, loca- 

 tion and price of lot.
