THE CANADIAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION. 



Extends a cordial invitation to those inter- 

 ested in the forests of this country, from 

 whatever point of view, to join its ranks, 

 and help to spread knowledge of, and in- 

 terest in, the forests of Canada in partic- 

 ular, and in general of the world. During 

 the past few years the interest in the 

 proper use and the protection and perpetua- 

 tion of the forests has greatly increased, 

 am! to this increased knowledge and interest 

 the Canadian Forestry Association, by its 

 propaganda work, has contributed its share. 

 Founded in 1900, with a membership of 12, 

 it has in twelve years increased its mem- 

 bership to 2,700. During these years it has 

 held conventions throughout Canaila from 

 coast to coast, in the Ancient Capital and 

 in the bustling cities of the prairies and 

 Pacific coast, in the manufacturing east and 

 the agricultural prairie country. Its official 

 organ. The Canadian Forestri/ Journal, was 

 started in 1905 and is now in its seventh 

 volume. But as forestry goes on, circum- 

 stances change and new needs spring up, 

 and the Association is anxious to do its 

 duty in arousing public interest and point- 

 ing out ways of getting things done. One 

 object of the Association was achieved when 

 forest reserves were established; but that 

 is merely a beginning and now proper ad- 

 ministration of these reserves, on the basis 

 of the public good, irrespective of any pri- 

 vate or partizan interest, must be secured. 

 When that is done other problems will pre- 

 sent themselves for settlement. The Asso- 

 ciation wants the interest and enthusiasm 

 and, in some degree, the contributions of 

 the public. The annual membership fee is 

 ^1.00; this entitles the member to The Cana- 

 dian Forestry Journal for a year, the an- 

 nual report of the society, and other litera- 

 ture. Life membership costs $10.00. Ap- 

 plications for membership should be ad- 

 dressed to James Lawler, Secretary, Cana- 

 dian Forestry Assn., Canadian Building, 

 Ottawa. 



There are many ways in which we can 

 serve our state and the future, but we can 

 do it in no way as effectually as by grow- 

 ing trees in many places which are little 

 adapted to other uses. It is possible to 

 plant millions of trees in the ninety-two 

 counties of Indiana, which will add millions 

 of dollars annually to its wealth ami, in the 

 meantime, increase its beauty and the com- 

 fort of the people. — Former (U.S.) Vice- 

 President Fairbanks.

FORESTRY LITERATURE. 



In reviewing the stock of literature 

 on hand, the Association finds that 

 there are a number of extra copies of 

 certain issues of the Journal and An- 

 nual Report printed before the mem- 

 bership was as large as now. As 

 these contain many excellent articles 

 it hr.s been decided to send them out 

 as far as they will go. Members who 

 receive such literature will know why 

 If is sent. 



The State Conservation Commission of 

 New York has decided to use prison labor 

 in advancing the forestry interests of the 

 Empire State. It has directed the establish- 

 ment at Comstock, where the Great Mea- 

 dows prison is located, of a nursery large 

 enough to bring the output of the state 

 nurseries up to double its present amount; 

 in other words, to increase the production 

 to 12,000,000 trees per year. — National Nur- 

 seryman. 



It is reported that an immense quantit\' 

 of timber was destroyed by insects in the 

 summer of 1911 in the neighborhood of 

 Deer Lake, Newfoundland. The damage is 

 estimated at over .$100,000, and the area 

 covered is about 35 square miles.
