Canadian Forestry Journal, December, igi6 



We can learn some lessons from the 

 Southern States which fifty years ago 

 were considered very rich in timber, 

 but to-day it can hardly supply the 

 poor quality that is needed for box 

 manufacture. The timber of the 

 South made great fortunes in the 

 North, where it was manufactured, but 

 the South is left with only denuded 

 forest land, much of which can be 

 bought for $3 or $4 an acre, and few 

 sales at that. The United States Gov- 

 ernment is now spending millions of 

 dollars to reforest mountain slopes 

 from which timber was cut in order to 

 prevent floods. 



The forests of British Columbia are 

 sufficient for all time if properly used, 

 and will maintain a great population 

 in the wood working industries with a 

 little encouragement from the Govern- 

 ment, but we should go very slowly to 

 clear more land than can be profitably 

 put in cultivation.
