Writing in Forest and Outdoors' Roland D. Craig, F.E., Forest Service, Department of the Interior, Canada, has the following article. As a fore- word to this article “Forest and Out- doors says:â€" “Editor's Note: Even with improved forest fire protection methods and appliances and steadily increasing public support, forest fires in 1930 swept 3,500 square miles, an area al- most equal to the area cut over to supply our wood requirements. Addi- ti-snai expenditures on forest fire pro- tection organizations made in the light of forest fire research in Canada and the United States, together with in-' tensive education of the public, solic-i iting through understanding their: support in preventing all preventable fire outbreaks, must be made if these losses are to be reduced to a reason- abl insurance figure." ! The article itself is as follows:â€" “Reports from the various provincial forest services indicates that about 2,- 667,000 acres were burned over, includ- ing 746,000 acres of merchantable tim- ber, 1,003,000 acres of young growth or cut-over land and 918,000 acres of non- forested land. The total loss of mer- chantable timber is estimated to amount to 389,000,000 cubic feet, con- sisting of 542,000,000 feet board mea- sure of saw material and 2,300,000 cords of pulpwood, cordwood and other wood. The monetary loss is placed at $4,607,000 for timber; $1,879,000 for young growth, and $507,000 for other property a total of $6,993,000. “The average annual cut of standing timber now amounts to about 2,800 million cubic feet, or the equivalent of about 24 million cords. The loss from insects and decay, though very difficult to estimate {is expected to bring the total annual depletion to 4,000 million cubic feet. In addition to this depletion of the merchantable timber resources, the potential forests on over 1,000,000 acres are being des- troyed by fire. - “It is estimated that, under present conditions, about 3,800 square miles are cut over and 3,500 square miles; burned over annually.

PKGS‘ sary to reforest this area artificially. it would involve the planting of over seven billion seedlings, but fortunately natural reproduction of some kind is usually secured except in the case of repeated fires. Frequently, however. the character of the forest is altered by cutting and to greater extent by fire and the more valuable species are replaced by poplar. white birch or other less desirable trees. In the for- ests which are being operated the re- production can be controlled by fol- lowing silvicultural methods, such as leaving seed trees, protecting ad- vanced growth and removing the less valuable species, but no rule-of- thumb method is applicable to the various conditions found in Canadian forests. and intensive research over a long period of years is required to de- termine the most efficient and at the same time the most practicable mea- sures to ensure the reproduction of the kinds of timber required to per- petuate the forest industries. During recent years. over $500,000.- 000 has been added annually to the wealth of Canada by the woods oper- ations and the manufacture of lum- ber, pulp, paper and other products of which wood« is the primary raw material. A large proportion of this wealth is distributed among the 200,- 000 Canadians employed in the con- version of the standing timber into commercial products and most of the balance is used for the purchase of equipment and supplies from other Canadian industries. During/ the last five years, the value of exports of for- est products (exclusive of books and printed matter) has averaged $278,- 482,721, and the value of the imports $37,628,282, providing a favourable trade balance of $240,854,439, of which $199,152,558 occurred in our trade with the United States, where, in spite of this large surplus in forest products. there was an average adverse balance of trade in all products of $261,640,647 Even during 1930, when there has been a general shrinkage in values, the exports of forests products were valued at $248,403,852 and the’balance of trade was $215,257,800. “There is practically no industry in the Dominion which is not to some extent dependent on wood or which is not afiected by the condition of the forest industries. It is therefore in- cumbent upon the people of Canada to take every precaution against fire in or near the woods in order to re- duce this annual drain on not only seed trees. protecting ad- growth and removing the less , species, but; no rule-of- method is applicable to the THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO .0 O .0 O O O. .0 O O O .0 O O :«z» O .0 I O O 00 O O O.

Stinson, fire chief at Cobalt. defective wiring is believed to have been the cause of the early morning blaze in the residence of Mrs. Thos. Drew, Cobalt on Friday moerng of last week. Damage to the extent of several hundred dollars was caused by the fire. The blaze started in the large frame house at the corner of Prospect avenue and Ruby street, the building being owned and occupied by Mrs. Thos. Drew. An attic was seriously affected by the flames. the roof will require extensive repairs and much of the house suffered from water. Insurance of $3,200, divided equally between building and contents. is carried. Mrs. Drew was alone in the house at the time. She told Chief Stinson later that: she heard the crackling of the flames overhead in the attic, but thought the sound was caused by hailstones pounding on the roof. She did not at first realize her danger, but was able to escape in time. Mrs. Drew had returned from Temagami about nine o’clock the previous night and when she found the electric lights not functioning, went to bed by candle-light The lights of the fire Punch, London, Engzâ€"A well-known sociologist says that the best way to get the most out of life is to fall in love with a beautiful woman or a great problem.

On Wednesday of last week a three- year-old youngster chopped off part of a younger brother's fiinger, but it is hoped that the injured finger can be saved. The youngsters, sons of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Cabot, of Cobalt, were play- ing at the rear of their home on Lang street, the three-year-old boy chopping at some blocks of wood with a hatchet. Evidently the other youngster, a child of eighteen months of age, had put one hand on a block to keep his balance while playing about, and the hatchet caught it a glancing blow across the tips of two fingers. Mrs. Cabot rushed the injured lad to the hospital, where Dr. G. E. Case rendered medical assis- tance, sewing up the injured finger. At the time, Mr. Cabot was in New Lis- keard, where he drives a taxi, and he came home hurriedly and was relieved to find alarming rumours had made the accident out to be much worse than was the case.

Three-Year-Old Chops Part of Baby’s Fingers Suggests Petition for the Belt Line of Roads We think that if Timmins and Sud- bury would jointly prepare a formal petition asking for immediate cons- truction of the Sudbury-Smooth Rock Falls highway, and circulate it for signature throughout the district and for publication in the press, convic- tion might be pressed home ’ upon the Minister of Lands and Forests that it is a public work which could be prOperly assessed against his huge blank cheque. (From The Northern Tribune) The Northern Observer of Sioux Lookout reports that Mayor Curtis 01 that town interviewed Hon. Mr. Fin- layson at Toronto recently on matters of unemployment and public worxs. He reported to the town council that “Single men will be taken care of by the construction of the Trans-Canada highway, or if suflicient funds are procured by the province from the Dominion government, Hon. Wm. Fin- layson stated, according to Mayor Curtis, that he would place camps on the Sioux Lookout-Dinorwic high- way.” We do not cavil at Sioux Lookout's prOper ambition to have a highway connection with a small hamlet to the south; we merely fail to recon- cile Hon. Mr. Finlayson‘s attitude in this instance (toward an area of diâ€" minutive pOpulation) with his state- ments and attitude toward the pro- posed Sudbury-Smooth Rock Falls highway. Sudbury has a population or near 20,000; Timmins is shown by the census to have 14,142, and perhaps 5,000 more in its environs; more than 20,000 people in addition would be directly convenienced by this highway striking Smooth Rock Falls. Yet the proposal to build this road is dubbed “fancy tourist stuff” by the minister! There are camps already built along the right-of-way, ready for immediate occupation by highway builders; and so keen is the desire to have direct road connection between the great gold and nickel camps that traffic would eagerly traverse the most pri- mitive road between them. More than that, the development of very prom- ising intervening mining camps would be greatly stimulated by the road building. On merit, there can be no comparison between the two projects. In the latter case, there are enough unemployed men registered at the two mining cities to staff the whole highway route. Is it proposed to move these men hundreds of miles to work on highway stretches in more favored sections, away from their own homes? Hon. Mr. Finlayson has invited comparisons, and the comparisons in this instance could be further elabor- ated to his disadvantage. While the employment of the actual highway buildersâ€"the most necessitous class of allâ€"has been postponed until October 1. a fair number of men are already employed in other parts of prelim- inary trans-Canada highway work. This section of the North is still left in dubiety as to its position regard- ing the national highway, and where the rigors of fall weather will firsr, be felt there is 'yet nothing in sight for our unemployed. SPECIAL THIS WEEK $535321" 1 quart ”we IT IS SURELY NEWS W'HEN A FISH CHASES A SIIEEPDOG There is an old saying that when. a1 dog bites a man that isnt news but when a man bites a dog that is news The newspapers who have howled so much about this saying got a shock some months ago when a woman bit a dog and the dog turned around and bit the woman. The woman was playing with the dog and jokingly sank ,her teeth into the dog's ear. The dog ,got mad at the liberty and took one or two hunks from the woman‘s arms and legs before he was driven off. The news- papers that depended on the man-bite- dog axiom were greatly puzzled as to whether the incident was news when the .dog bit back. That wasn‘t men- tioned in the old axiom for news. Now. there is another puzzle for the news~ papers. It is about a fish that bit a dog. . The tale is toldâ€"believe it or not â€"by The Huntingdon Gleaner, as foll- owszâ€" An English Sheepdog swimming in the tumbling Rideau River, near Ottawa. looked like a tasty morsel to a 44-inch maskinonge, and eventually effected the capture of the carnivorous fish. Swim- ming in hot‘ pursuit of the dog, which did not waste any time in striking for shore once the chase was on, the fisz. became stranded in shallow water. Alan Campbell, 10, who a few se‘conds before had been loudly shouting for help be- cause he believed‘his dog was to be devoured, was assisted by another boy in carrying a large rock out to the shoal, with which the fish was soon killed. The maskinonge tipped the scales at twenty-three pounds.” St. Catharines Standard2â€"To think that in Quebec there are young men and women in their thirties who have never known any other Government but a Liberal one. History of the Grape in Canada and Elsewhere There is a tang to grapes which gives zest to the appetite, and this is the time of the year when they are available in abundance. No fruit is more healthful than the grape, which is rich in both minerals and sugar. Grapes furnish such alkaline salts as potash, lime, mag- nesia. iron. etc., which have a tonic efiect, particularly for anyone subject to acidosis; while the sugar they supply is a special kind so easily assimilated as to involve only a mimimum of digestive eflort. Those who suffer Iron) anaemia, rheu- matism. or digestive disorders, will find the use of grapes highly beneficial in restoring the system to its normal functioning. The use of grapes as a principal article of diet is recommended by many eminent medical authorities. and what is known as the “grape cure" is frequently prescribed. In this cure monotony is avoided through the use of several varieties of grapes. In both quality and variety Canadian grown grapes are exceptional. At the present time there is a con- certed drive to popularize the grape, with the purpose of assisting, the grape growers of Canada to market a remarkably fine crop and also to do the people of the country a favour by introducing them to a fruit that they will love. It will be of interest to read the following history of the grape as furnished The Advance by the Dominion Department of Agricul- ture :â€" The grape is one of the oldest fruits kuown to man, and it is one of the most healthful, wholesome and nutritious. It. delights whether used as dessert or prepared as jam, jelly, conserve or beverage. Records show that the grape was cul- tivated by the Ancients over five thou- sand years ago, and so important was it in national health and national econ- omy that its introduction was ascribed to a god. With the Romans this god was Bacchus, with the Greeks, Diony- sus; with the Egyptians it was Osiris; while the Hebrews ascribed its intro- duction to Noah. When the Norsemen first visited the North American continent over 1,000 years ago, they found the grape grow- ing wild in “Vineland” as they named what we know as New England, while in more recent times a wide variety or species have been introduced from Europe. Grape production in Canada is rapid- ly growing in importance both in Onâ€" tario and British Columbia. The vari- eties produced include the blues, am- bers and whites The 1931 crop has matured with excellent quality, ensur- ing an ample supply at prices attractive to everyone. A. A.

There is $13,930,000,000 in cash in British banks and with deposit so- cieties. Last year Britain sold more than $500,000,000 worth of ships and ma- chinery to the world. The greatest asset, however. is the British character, which has ever sur- mounted obstacles, defeated dimcul- ties and triumphed over situations that would have quenched a spirit less ardent.
