THE FARMER AND HIS SPRUCE *' 



We have been preaching conserva- 

 tion until our utterances have become 

 prosaic. Settlers in a new country 

 could not live on spruce that had no 

 value. They must till the soil, so 

 perforce did burn the forest, their 

 fires of course, spreading in devasta- 

 ting ruin. And now, paper has risen 

 to a price commensurate with the 

 value of spruce, so that the owner of 

 standing timber is spoken to in com- 

 mercial terms affecting his personal 

 wealth, and be he farmer or lumber- 

 man, the conservation of his spruce at 

 so much per cord has a meaning more 

 forceful and obvious than all the 

 poUshed phrases of our most ardent 

 conservationists.

 part of Europe somewhat previous 

 to 1845, and there are five or six still 

 standing, have done constant 

 vice and are made of wood.
