getting pretty well cleared, but I suppose they would, if let alone, grow 

 up again. 



Laxton, Digby and Longford Townships, Victoria County 

 In reply to yours of the 17th instant, which I enclose, would say 

 that, according to the last revised assessment roll of the mimicipality of 

 Laxton, Digby and Longford, there are 64,164 acres of non-agricultural 

 lands in this municipality. Quite a large amount of this is barren 

 rock and marsh, or beaver-meadow lands, so that I would not recom- 

 mend establishing permanent forest reserves in any, unless it would be in 

 the township of Longford. This particular township might warrant an 

 inspection, as there are at present 38,872 acres of wood land, principally 

 in this particiilar township.
