mineral soils the forest is always 

 reslorable. Therefore the State's 

 duty is to see that the forests are not 

 (lestroijed forever, but used forever, 

 and this [s best done under Stale 

 ownership.The Water powers of the 

 streams need not be entirely under 

 state ownership but it would be 

 best for the most economical use of 

 them, that the state store and regu- 

 late the flosv on rivers and streams on 

 which power is develoijed by public 

 utilities or private use. 



4. Resources restorable, yielding 

 increased returns under increased 

 activity. 



Under the head come all the pro- 

 ducts of the labour and brains of man 

 as wealth, knowledge and other fields 

 of progress due to either private or 

 state activity. 



The soil is certainly a valuable 

 resource, and under intelligently in- 

 creased activity it most certainly 

 yields greater returns. As it is a 

 short time investment it thrives 

 under private activity and the 



State's relation (o it need only be 

 one of an educational adviser and a 

 loader in experiment and progress. 

 On the other hand it can deteriorate 

 under mismanagement but very rare- 

 ly so far that it cannot be restored. 



REFORESTING FRANCE. 



In a note from France to his father, 

 Mr. D. B. Detweiler, of Kitchener, 

 Ont., Lieut. Detweiler refers to the 

 recent interesting transfer of the 

 Snider woodlands in Waterloo Coun- 

 ty to the care of the Ontario Forestn,- 

 Branch. 



"Mr. Snider of Conestogo has the 

 proper view of things. If some of our 

 wealthy farmers followed his lead it 

 would be a wonderful thing for the 

 future of our Province. Reforesta- 

 tion is the one big idea in France, and 

 even at the present time the Govern- 

 ment is preparing and planting vast 

 forests. Only yesterday I attended 

 a banquet given in honor of the visit 

 of the Civil and Military Chiefs of 

 Forestrv in France.
