Canadian Forestry Journal, December, 1918 



An Improved Forestry Journal. 



1991 



The January issue of the Canadian 

 Forestry Journal will take a step 

 forward. Henceforth the Journal 

 will be printed on the finest grade 

 of coated paper, which will bring out 

 in their full values all illustrations and 

 at the same time will render the text 

 more readable. 



The pages will be slightly larger 

 and a feature will be made of inter- 

 esting pictures. 



The quality of contents, too, will 

 be given special attention. The Jan- 

 uary issue will be headed by a special 

 article written by Sir George E. 

 Foster on "'Forest Conservation and 

 Canada's Trade Abroad." 



"What the Canadian Tree gave to 

 the War." is a unique story in which 

 every reader will be much interested. 

 Itirecounts the unsuspected service 

 offthe Canadian forest in making the 

 Allied victory possible. 



Mr. Gilford Pinchot, former Chief 

 Forester of the United States, has 

 written an inspiring message to Cana- 

 dians identifying Forestry as one of 

 the great planks in national read- 

 justment. 



Westerners will find special interest 

 in two special articles telling of the 

 remarkable service of forest protection 

 in irrigating British Columbia's fruit- 

 growing valleys, and the good work 

 done at the Saskatoon forest nursery 

 of the Dominion Forestry Branch. 



Hon. E. A. Smith, Minister of 

 Lands of New Brunswick has written 

 a strong message on "The State's 

 Responsibility in Forest Manage- 

 ment." 



Mr. Ellwood Wilson, Chief Forest- 

 er of the Laurentide Company con- 

 tributes a timely and stimulating 

 discussion of "Forestry and Recon- 

 struction." 



Each month's issue hereafter will 

 contain a special article telling how 

 the tree is "fabricated" into such 

 products as matches, alcohol, etc., 

 with plenty of good illustrations. 



The Forestry Journal during 1919 

 will prove a considerably more 

 expensive product to the Associa- 

 tion than previously, but the great 

 growth of membership amply justi- 

 fies the move. 



Lumbermen Co-operate for World Trade 



Co-operation to the fullest possible 

 extent, confidence in themselves and 

 in the future of industry were the 

 keynotes expressed at the executive 

 meeting of the Canadian Lumber- 

 men's Association held at Montreal 

 on November 26th. The meeting was 

 was one of the most largely attended, 

 ever held by the directors of this 

 organization. W. G. Powers, presi- 

 dent, was able to enthuse the direc- 

 tors with his own courage and opti- 

 mism and as a result of the meeting 

 the Canadian Lumbermen's Associa- 

 tion and affiliated organizations are 

 going out to capture a larger share 

 of the world's business. 



By coincidence the Eastern Spruce 

 Manufacturers' Association met in 

 Montreal on the same date and on 

 invitation of the Lumbermen's Asso- 

 ciation the spruce dealers attended 

 the gathering and discussed their 

 common problems together. As a 

 result of this conference thirty mem- 

 bers of the Spruce association from 

 Maritime provinces joined the Cana- 

 dian Lumbermen's Association. The 

 directors of the association decided 

 to hold their next annual meeting 

 at St. John, N.B. Many questions 

 were discussed at the gathering in- 

 cluding such matters as domestic con- 

 sumption of lumber, trade with the
