lAnnual Meeting of the Canadian Forestry Association. 63 



The receipts for last year were $2,428, including a balance 

 of $916.11 from last year, and the expenditure $1,124.84. 



The thanks of the Association are due to the Governments 

 of the provinces of Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia for 

 grants in aid of the work of the Association, and also to the 

 Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior for providing 

 for the publication of the Annual Report and other services. 



It is only right that mention should be made of the work 

 of Miss Robinson of the Forestry Branch, who though not 

 on the recognized official staff of the Association, has rendered 

 efficient service in the keeping of the Treasurer's books and in 

 many other ways. 



Publications. 



The Canadian Forestry Journal has been published through- 

 out the year as a quarterly and it is hoped that it has been 

 satisfactory to the Association. It is desirable that the Annual 

 Meeting should consider this question of the official organ care- 

 fully and fully. If the Journal could be issued more frequently 

 its usefulness would be largely increased, and as the present 

 editor has submitted his resignation, it is well to consider if the 

 time has not arrived when provision might be made for an editor 

 and business manager who could devote the greater part of his 

 time to this and similar duties. 



In addition to the Forestry Journal, the Association would 

 find it of advantage to issue a series of bulletins for the informa- 

 tion of the public and also to supply material to papers and news 

 agencies. Despite all that has been done, there are large circles 

 of public opinion still untouched and it will require persistent and 

 constant effort to thoroughly reach all classes and all parts of the 

 Dominion. 



A well edited paper, with a large list of subscribers and 

 frequent publication could, with good business management, 

 obtain an income from advertising that would go far to make 

 it self-supporting. For this purpose a managing editor, who 

 can give most of his time to the work, is a necessity. 



The Sixth Annual Report containing the papers and pro- 

 ceedings of the last Annual Meeting was published and distributed 

 as usual. This report serves a special and useful purpose, but 

 it may be considered whether the papers might not appear in the 

 Forestry Journal if publication is made more frequently.

 pointed the following Vice-Presidents: —
