30 CANADIAN FORESTRY ASSOCIATION 



AFTERNOON SESSION. 



THURSDAY, February llth, 1909. 



On resuming, Mr. H. M. Price, Past President of the Association, took 

 the Chair and made the following explanation : 



Ladies and Gentleman : In the absence of our President, Mr. Snowball, 

 w^ho is detained at a luncheon given by His Excellency, Earl Grey, I have 

 been asked to take the Chair and proceed with the meeting. It is now 40 

 minutes over time, so I will ask Mr. Drummond to read his paper on "The 

 Practical Side of the Forestry Question." 



THE SECRETARY : Mr. Drummond is not present. 



Mr. PRICE : In the absence of Mr. Drummond I will ask Mr. R. H. 

 Campbell to kindly read his paper. 



Mr. CAMPBELL : I have not yet seen this paper of Mr. Drummond's, 

 and I don't know what line it takes ; but of course Mr. Drummond is respon- 

 sible for it. I cannot say until I have read it whether I agree with all the 

 paper says or not. 



DOCTOR FERNOW : Before going on with the paper I should like to say 

 a few words in reference to my friend Mr. Drummond, who at the present 

 time happens to be in England. He is one of the "Old Guard" who started 

 2t> years ago to do the work which this Association stands for to-day. But 

 although Mr. Drummond is one of the "Old Guard" he is also one of the 

 new guard here at this meeting. (Applause.) 



Mr. CAMPBELL : It is a very good thing for this Association that we 

 still have some of the "Old Guard" left. I am sure we all regret that some 

 of them are passing away from us. There is not one of us in this meeting 

 to-day who does not feel the great loss which this country has suffered by 

 the death of the late Sir Henri Joly de Lotbiniere, who has done more than 

 almost anyone else, for the advancement of Forestry in Canada. (Applause.)
