1921-22 DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS 17 



Last season's distribution of trees was as follows: 



Private land owners 327,732 



Municipal and Provincial projects 731,500 



Total .. 1,059,232 



The annual distribution previous to last season averaged about 500,000 

 plants. Our present output has been doubled, and I expect that by the spring 

 of 1924 the output will reach several million plants per year. During the past 

 season an inspection was made of 448 plantations. About 84 per cent, of these 

 plantations are reported as having been successful. 



Seed Collection: An effort has been made to secure our forest seed supply 

 from local sources. A seed collecting centre was established at Angus, in Simcoe 

 County, where the Department secured a building at Camp Borden for seed 

 extraction purposes. 



Seeds of the native Pines, Spruces and Cedar, 



collected 1,334 lbs. 



Seeds of hardwood as Walnut, Ash, Maple 



and Elm, collected 1,065 bushels.
