and management. He said that while it 

 was necessary that the press should have 

 enough paper at a reasonable price, it was 

 not fair to give them paper at a loss to 

 the manufaciurer and that they should be- 

 gin economy at home by cutting down 

 waste, such as Sunday editions, comic sup- 

 plements and so forth. There is great need 

 for saving paper and much could !.e done 

 along these lines. 



On the evening of the sixth, the Annual 

 Meeting of the Canadian Society of For- 

 est Engineers was held at the University 

 Club, preceded by a dinner. The follow- 

 ing officers were elected: President, Ell- 

 wood Wilson, of the Laurentide Company ; 

 Vice-President, J. H. White, Assistant 

 Forester of Ontario; Secretary, Clyde 

 Leavitt, of the Commission of Conserva- 

 tion, and Secretary-Treasurer, T. W. 

 Dwight, of the Dominion Forest Branch. 

 A very interesting paper was read by Mr. 

 Atkinson, of the Spanish River Pulp and 

 Paper Company, on a forester's work, call- 

 ing attention to the many ways in which a 

 forester's special knowledge might be of 

 use to a pulp and paper company. Mr. 

 Atkinson has made a special study of water 

 regulation and has developed his subject 

 in a very interesting way. He is collect- 

 ing some very interesting and unusual in- 

 formation. Mr. G. H. Prince, Forester to 

 the New Brunswick Government, reported 

 on the progress of his work and on the 

 reorganization of the Department of Lands 

 and Forests in that Province. This So- 

 ciety is doing excellent work in developing 

 and conserving the forest resources of 

 Canada and in fostering an esprit de corps 

 among foresters. 



On the morning of the seventh, a 

 symposium on the substitution of wood for 

 coal in order to make the best of the 

 shortage of the latter, was held under the 

 chairmanship of Clyde Leavitt. Mr. A. 

 F. Hawes, of the United States Forest 

 Service, made a very interesting address. 

 Other speakers were, Mr. G. C. Piche. 

 of the Quebec Forest Service; Mr. E. J. 

 Zavitz, of the Ontario Forest Service, and 

 Mr. G. H. Prince. Many interesting points 

 were brought out at this meeting. 



In the afternoon the first meeting of the 

 Woodlands Section of the Canadian Pulp 

 and Paper Association was held. This 

 meeting brought together for the first 

 time the men who are directly interested 

 in woods operations, managers of logging 

 departments, woods superintendents and 

 woods foremen, and proved most interest- 

 ing. F. A. Sabbaton, Assistant to the 

 President of the Laurentide Company, read 

 a very interesting paper showing the results 

 accomplished in the mills in efficiency and 

 increased output, from better education, 

 better housing and more recreation for the 

 men. He showed also that the principal 

 expenditure in the woods was for labor and 

 that the total labor in the woods exceeded 

 that in the mills. His conclusion was that 



THE lumber production of the 

 U. S. for 1917 was 40 billion 

 feet, of which 2 billion went for war 

 purposes. This rapid cutting down 

 of timber calls for constant planting 

 to replace the trees which have gone. 

 You can help by planting trees in 

 your neighborhood on your lawn, 

 orchard, farm, golf course, public 

 parks, etc. 



TREE 

 SEEDS 



deserve your special attention be- 

 cause of their very high qjality and 

 because of the exceptional care 

 which is taken to obtain them from 

 the very choicest sources. In buying 

 tree seeds it is always most econom- 

 ical to get the finest obtainable, be- 

 cause your tree must grow and flour- 

 ish for years. 



Back in Thomas Jefferson's time 

 discerning men and women planted 

 Thorburn's Seeds and these seeds 

 have maintained their reputation for 

 excellence for 116 years.
