is being made by the Forestry Department 

 to prevent and control the fires. 



While the weather has been dry in 

 Quebec no very serious fires have been 

 reported. One of about five square miles, 

 said to have been set by the Canadian 

 ( iovernnient Railways has been reported. 

 A trip made by the writer over part of 

 this line during the week of May 22 to 27, 

 showed some small fires but not as many 

 is usual. 



The Canadian Forestry Association has 

 started a "Planting Car" on a tour of 

 the Prairie Provinces. This car will carry 

 a model nursery and show young plants 

 ready for setting out and the accompanying 

 lecturer will explain the necessity for 

 planting windbreaks on the prairie and 

 give talks on fire protection and general 

 forestry. The Association has also en- 

 (I an assistant secretary and has moved 

 into larger offices. 



Clyde Leavitt, Dr. C. D. Howe, Professor 

 Millar, Professor McCarthy and Mr. G. A. 

 Mulloy, of the Commission of Conserva- 

 tion, visited the plantations and experi- 

 mental plots of the Laurentide Company 

 recently. Mr. Ben Avery, Forester for the 

 Spanish River Pulp and Paper Company, 

 and Mr. Simpson, the company's pilot, were 

 also visitors. The Spanish River Com- 

 pany will start a nursery with an output 

 of 500,000 trees for forest planting this 

 coming fall. They have purchased a Day- 

 ton-Wright machine and will try out aerial 

 photography for forest mapping. 



Messrs. Morency and Relyea, assistant 

 pilot and photographer for Price Brothers 

 Company, visited the Laurentide Company 

 to look into the aerial photographic meth- 

 ods employed by them. 



The Canadian Pulp and Paper Associa- 

 tion has issued a bulletin, "Government 

 Restrictions upon the Use of Pulpwood 

 Cut from Crown Lands of Quebec, 

 Ontario and New Brunswick." The Cana- 

 dian pulp and paper manufacturers are al- 

 most all taking active steps to conserve 

 and utilize to the best advantage their for- 

 est resources and are reforesting on a 

 large scale. 



TIT FOR TAT 



/ often pass a gracious tree 

 Whose name I can't identify, 



But still I bow, in courtesy; 

 It waves a bough, in kind reply. 



I do not know your name, O tree 



{Are you a hemlock or a pine?) 



But why should that embarrass me? 



Quite probably you don't know mine.

"I am very much interested in the propa- 

 gation of our forests and reforestation of 

 vacant land, and feel that I owe a great 

 deal to your magazine, for it has helped 

 me greatly." 



Dr. G. S. Foster. 



"I wish I had subscribed sooner to this 

 publication, as I see I have been miss- 

 ing some great articles. Along with my 

 bird lectures, it seems as though American 

 Forestry is an absolute necessity, as the 

 two go hand in hand." 



H. H. Coffey. 



"The purpose of your organization is in- 

 deed a worthy one and should receive the 

 hearty co-operation of every American 

 citizen. We sometimes fail to appreciate 

 the value of these gifts of nature and do 

 not realize until too late what they mean to 

 our national existence." 



H. E. Cook. 



"Your proposition on forestry is a won- 

 derful thing and we are interested in see- 

 ing it put through. I am sending you a 

 check herewith for one hundred dollars, 

 for a Life Membership for the Booraem 

 Powell Lumber Company." 



H. Booraem, Manager. 



"American Forestry is one of the most 

 interesting publications I get." 



W. S. McCrea. 



"American Forestry is too good to lose 

 a single number, so I wish my renewal to 

 reach you in time to take care of the ex- 

 piration of the present subscription." 



Clement W. Baker. 



"The articles in American Forestry on 

 the uses of wood past, present and future, 

 and the very great importance of wood and 

 forestry in our national life, are certainly 

 some of the best literature I have read in 

 a long time." 



P. C. Kullman. 



"The American people have been back- 

 ward in the conservation of their forests 

 American Forestry magazine is a high- 

 class publication, issued by the American 

 Forestry Association and circulated among 

 all members from their headquarters in 

 Washington, D. C. It is well fitted to 

 serve as a valuable educational medi 

 for the encouragement of the planting a 

 preservation of trees." 



Louis Bartlett, 

 Mayor of Berkeley, Calif. 



"American Forestry has contributed 

 much to the preservation of trees and 

 plants in all parts of this country. This 

 magazine is able to gain and retain the 

 interest of its readers, and is to be recom- 

 mended to all who are and who should be 

 concerned with the preservation of our for- 

 ests and with the reforesting of our hills 

 and mountains."

 Asst. Supt. Berkeley, Calif., Public Schools.
