Canada is undoiibtedly to l)c called 

 upon to become one of the world's 

 greatest sources for the supply of 

 pulp and paper. '^IMiis industry has 

 grown by leaps and bounds during 

 recent years, and further large de- 

 velopments are to be anticipated, 

 both in the east and west. This will 

 mean a constantly increasing strain 

 upon our forest resources, and must 

 result in careful consideration as to 

 whether very large areas, in which 

 the heaviest cutting is being done or 

 is to be done, are not in danger of 

 depletion. 



The Commission of Conservation 

 has started a study of these fundamen- 

 tal problems. This investigation will 

 have for its objects the determination 

 of the extent to which cut-over pulp- 

 w^ood lands are reproducing valuable 

 species in potentially commercial 

 quantities; the effect of fire on re- 

 production, and the rate of growth of 

 the reproduction present, to determine 

 how long after cutting one may 

 reasonably expect another crop. The 

 answer to these questions should go 

 far in determining what additional 

 measures are necessary, to place the 

 business of pulpwood production upon 

 a thoroughly permanent basis. 



The work for this season is under 

 the direction of Dr. C. D. Howe of the
