 For this cause the presence of range 

 cattle on such a ranch might prove 

 beneficial by repressing the growth 

 of useless young trees and promot- 

 ing that of young trees likely to be- 

 come economically valuable. It takes 

 more than a generation to produce 

 a white pine tree fit for sawing into 

 lumber, but land may, long before 

 such trees have become sufficiently 

 mature for cutting, acquire added 

 and increasing value to an indefinite 

 extent through the mere presence of 

 a growing crop of young pine trees.

 formation respecting the work of 

 the provincial forest services and of

 with the care of our forests. 



Forest fire protection is assuming 

 a large place in public attention. It
