will be bundled and shipped to the 

 plantation in lots of re([uiied quan- 

 tity to keep a small reserve always 

 ahead of the plantation crew. This 

 will eliminate a prolonged "heeling 

 in" period between ihe time the 

 plants are removed from cellar and 

 the time at which •hey are perman- 

 ently planted. By means of the 

 svstem of digging out vwo year seed- 

 lings and three year transplants in 

 the Fall, the work will be distributed 

 over the season, rather than lieing 

 crowded into a short period in the 

 spring. 



The foregoing outline?, the policy 

 upon which >.he nursery is being 

 developed. The result so far obtain- 

 ed includes a stock of about 2,000,000 

 one-year-old Norway spruce seedlings 

 800,000 one-year native white spruce 

 seedlings, 200,000 one-year native 

 white pine seeJlings, 75,000 tliree-year 

 Norway spruce transplants, 100,000 

 four-year Norway spruce transplants, 

 5,000 five-year twice transplanted 

 white spruce and white pine, and 

 about 5,000 Iwo-year seedlings of 

 bull pine, or a total of about 3,185,- 

 000 plantL> of all classes.

Exaggeration of Canada's Wood Supply 



Mr. Phillip T. Dodge of the Inter- 

 national Paper Company, is re- 

 ported in the New York Times as 

 saying: "Most serious is the matter 

 of pulp wood, from which paper is 

 made. The forests of the United 

 States are in great measure exhausted 

 but in Canada there is a vast supply, 

 largely on Crown Lands. For years 

 this came freely to the United States, 

 being cut under extensive leases, 

 but exportation from the important 

 sections is now prohibited and the 

 mills of this country arc placed at a 

 great disadvantage. If the wood 

 supply for the making of paper is 

 practically exhausted in the United 

 States, how long does anyone think 

 it will take to place Canada in the 



same position if all the American 

 mills are allowed free access to her 

 supplies? The uses of wood pulp 

 are rapidly increasing, the consump- 

 tion of paper is not likely to dimin- 

 ish and while Canada has a large 

 supply it is by no means 'vast'." 



PLANTING ON THE PRAIRIES 



Last year on the 160 acre forest 

 tree nursery of the Dominion Forestry 

 Branch at Sutherland, near Saska- 

 toon ,one half milhon trees were shipped 

 to farmers in the province. Two 

 years ago three million were shipped 

 out. The trees are taken up in the 

 fall and set out in the spring.
