94 Canadian Forestry Journal. 



Regulations will be enforced to protect the animals, birds 

 and fish on the reserves. 



A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Canadian 

 Forestry Association was held on the 27th of April to consider 

 the summer meeting and the appointment of an editor for the 

 Forestry Journal. As the Committee were not in a position 

 to make the appointment of a permanent editor, Mr. J. M. Ma- 

 coun was appointed temporarily, and the editorial committee, 

 previously elected, were continued as an advisory committee. 



It was decided that, although final word as to rates had 

 not been received from the railway companies, sufficient in- 

 formation was available to justify confirming the acceptance 

 of the invitation of the British Columbia Lumbermen's Associa- 

 tion for a summer meeting in Vancouver, in September. Messrs. 

 E. G. Joly de Lotbiniere, Thos. Southworth, Gordon C. Edwards, 

 Revd. A. E. Burke, G. Spring-Rice, Roland D. Craig and R. H. 

 Campbell, were appointed a committee to carry out the arrange- 

 ments. 



One of the most beautiful of our forest trees is the Tulip- 

 tree {Liriodendron tulipijera) which is found growing wild in 

 many places in southwestern Ontario. Its name is derived 

 from its large tulip-like flowers and wherever it grows it is real 

 addition to the beauty of the region and has besides great 

 economic value. It is not probable that the Tulip-tree can 

 be successfully grown north and east of Kingston but anywhere 

 between Kingston and Detroit and on almost any kind of soil 

 it should thrive. Propagation should be entirely by seeds and 

 these should be sown thickly in a bed of light, rich, sandy soil. 

 Of the possibility and uses of this tree " Forestry and Irrigation" 

 says: 



"For shade and ornament the Tulip-tree possesses great 

 merit and is deserving of very general propagation. * * * 

 Forest planting of the Tulip-tree for economic purposes has 

 never been attempted, but judging from the form and rate of 

 growth of the natural forest-grown tree, and the value of the 

 wood, few trees would be more profitable for such a purpose." 



Mr. E. Stewart, Dominion Superintendent of Forestry 

 will leave for the west about the middle of May. 



It is Mr. Stewart's intention to visit a considerable portion 

 of the afforested area of the western provinces before returning 

 and he will probably make a trip down the Mackenzie river.
