Mr. Finlayson has ask- ed that our output be increased far beyond our idea. T'his year we put out over a million trees. Next year our output will the two millions and by the end ofseven years we should be send- ing out from this station ten million trees in a year. We have been em- ploying a goodly. number of men but this will mean a steady increase until there will not be a vacant house within reasonable distance of the station. This will mean more money in circu- lation and things will be quite as good as they were inthe old days. `We have a group of young men coming on in this community that are just as good as any who have lived here before." He predicted that the Forestry Station would become a centre of interest that would attract visitors from long dis- ' tances.
