the struggle for existence is so great 

 that the trees rapidly become dis- 

 eased and the resulting stand is of 

 small value. Where the conditions 

 are more favorable for hardwood re- 

 production these trees seed in thickly 

 and make it very difficult to obtain 

 reproduction of softwoods. Our pres- 

 ent methods of cuttings are slowly 

 but surely turning our fo-rests from 

 coniferous to hardwood ones and the 

 coniferous will have a difficult time 

 to re-assert their supremacy over the 

 broad leaved trees. We are leaving 

 the whole matter to chance and un-

 regulate all these matters. The pro- 

 per cutting of a forest, unless it is 

 cut clean, is a matter which requires 

 experience and above all, good judg- 

 ment, the balance is delicate and the 

 result of a wrong system of cutting 

 often take very many years to correct.
