IMPORTATION OF PINE SEEDLINGS 

 PROHIBITED. 



Dr. IF. T. Gussow, Dominion Botanist, 

 Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, sup- 

 ]>lenients his previous information on the 

 subject of legislation concerning White 

 Pine Blister Rust by a note calling atten- 

 tion to the fact that on Nov. 9, 1914, an 

 Order-in-Council was passed by the Gov- 

 ernment of Canada at Ottawa as follows: 

 ' The importation into Canada of the fol- 

 lowing species of the genus Pinus and 

 their horticultural varieties, viz: White 

 jtine (f'iniis strolni.s), western white pine 

 (I'iiiK.s iiiontiroht Doiui.), sugar pine {I'linix 

 Lniubvrtinnn Doug.), stone or cembran pine 

 (I'inits ccnihra L.), and all other five- 

 leaved species of the genus Pinus is pro- 

 hibited. ' 



A USEFUL HANDBOOK. 



The Dominion Parks Branch has issueil 

 a 'Handbook of the Rocky Mountains 

 Park Museum, ' prepared by Mr. Harlan 

 I. Smith. The book, which is a volume of 

 126 pages, is an effort to make the museum 

 at Banff more useful, and this is done by 

 making the handbook as non-technical and 

 as interesting to the layman as possible. 

 The attempt is made to link up the infor- 

 mation contained in the museum with the 



fund of knowledge that every man has, so 

 that the visitor may at once go on increas- 

 ing his knowledge without having to put 

 nil one side what ho alreaily knows and 

 learn a new system and a new language. 

 Those who are interested in tho musoum, 

 or in the ]ireparation of books with n 

 similar purpose, may obtain a cofiy free 

 upon :ip|)lying to the Commissioner of Do- 

 minion Parks, Department of the Interior, 

 Ottawa. 



Storms Never Bother This Farmer. 



Mr. Wm. Wightman, Glengarry Co., Ont., 

 hardly knows when there is a storm raging, 

 so thoroughly are his house and buiMings

 iieing several rows of trees. — Photo by

THINK OF THE FUTURE. 



'Let us think of the future. We are trus- 

 tees for the future. We are not hero for 

 ourselves alone. All these gifts were not 

 given to us to be used by one generation, 

 or with the thought of one generation only 

 before our minds. We are the heirs of those 

 who have gone l)efore, ami i-harged with the 

 duty we owe to those who come after. ' — lit.

FISH AND FORESTS. 



The Government of Canada, with tho 

 idea of leading to a fuller utilization of 

 r)ur food jiroducts, has issued two books, 

 one dealing with the cooking of apples, 

 which may be obtained free through the 

 Department of Trade and Commerce, and 

 another pamphlet on 'Fish and How to 

 Cook it,' issued by the Department of the 

 Xaval Service, Ottawa, copies of which 

 may also be had free upon application to 

 that Department. Foresters are interested 

 in the latter subject from the fact that 

 barren and burned over territory has no 

 (ish in its streams. If we are to have 

 tourists we must have green woods for 

 them to come to, otherwise there will be
