1. Yield Tables. Treatment similar to h, the volume and 

 value per acre at 40. 60, 80 and ido years. 



j. Injuries and Dangers, 

 i.. Fires have burned over: 



Pine lands 1 1,500 acres 



Hardwood lands 2,500 



Swamp 1,500 



Total 1 5,000 



On the swamp lands good reproduction is coming ; on the hard- 

 woods there is some reproduction but of poor quality ; on the pine 

 lands, it is mere Oak scrub and useless Aspen, which does not 

 grow to value here. 



Fires run most on pine land, little in swamps, except in specially 

 dry seasons, when swamp fires may be the very worst. 



Fire season: After snow melt, on pine lands, soil dries and 

 warms up rapidly and fires start in this district every year. 



Fire causes: Clearing land; Railways (along branch) 



also campers, fishermen, tourists and berry-pickers. 



Help in fire work is quite easy to get and efficient. 



Cooperation: Association now organizing; arrangement with 

 local people practical and promising of good results. 



Fire patrol needed : Ordinary years not over two months in 

 year. Special years, May-October ; perhaps once in ten years. 



"Look outs" indicated especially on Pine land areas. 



Fire lines needed in Pine lands. 



2. Insects: Sawfly has injured over half of all Tamarack. 

 Insects also work on Pine land areas, injuring young stuff, even 

 Jack Pine. 



3. Late Frosts severe until end of May, some years in June; 

 kill back new foliage oh native trees. 



4. Heavy wet snows break down young timber, notably Pine, 

 every year on this property. 



5. Tee on trees is a common trouble and destroys much timber 

 and opens up Crowns to disease.
