Bangor, McClure and Wicklow Townships, 

 Hastings County 

 Presented your letter of Feb. 3rd before Council of Bangor, et al. 

 They authorized me to write stating that in their judgment 50 per cent 

 of the township of Bangor, et al, is unfit for agricultural purposes and 

 that it is well suited for a forest reserve, having been pine land, and now 

 a large part of it is growing up with yotmg pine. : 



HUNGERFORD ToWNSHIP, HASTINGS CoUNTY 



I would estimate the area of non-agricultural lands in this township 

 at 10,000 acres. Personally, I think it a serious mistake that the matter 

 of reforestry was not pushed along 15 or 25 years ago. Consider that 

 permanent forest reserves would form an inestimable asset. 



Mayo Township, Hastings County 

 In regard jto amount of non-agricultural land in our township, 

 there is about seventy-five per cent of it non-agricultural land, and I am 

 of the opinion that the forest reserves would be all right here. 



Lanark County 

 In the accompanying table you will find the acreages for the various 

 sub-divisions of each township of the county. These figures were ob- 

 tained from the township rolls for 19 11. You will also find in the last 

 column the estimated percentage of each township which is too rough 

 and rocky to be used for agricultural purposes. These estimates were 

 obtained from the clerk of each township. It would seem as if there is a 

 good opening here for the establishment of forest reserves since there 

 is so much land that is not now, and never will be^ of agricultural 

 value.
