 tion, he chose the following Executive: 

 Messrs. H. R. MacMillan, D. R. Cameron, 

 G. D. McKay and W. J. VanDusen, the 

 latter to be Secretary-Treasurer. At a 

 subsequent meeting of the Executive a

 ly, with extra meetings upon call of the

The Editor of the Courier of Crystal City, 

 Manitoba, writes in an appreciative way of 

 the grove on the farm of Mr. J. J. Ring 

 near that jdace. He notes that during the 

 winter time liriving into this grove out of 

 the .-"torm was like going into a house. He 

 also tells of the other advantages of this 

 grove. These trees were planted by Mr. 

 Ring, the grove being among the lirst to 

 be set out under the plan of the Dominion 

 J'^orestry Branch and from seedlings grown 

 at Indian Head. Mr. Ring was one of the 

 earliest members of the <"anadian Forestry 

 Association, and is an enthusiast on this 

 subject.
