The reason for this acâ€" tivity is an awakened national conâ€" gf the importance of preâ€" serving the forests and of the value of trees as preventives of soil erosion. The loss from forest fires throughout the United States every year is still very high, despfte accurate forest ranger serâ€" vices, and this is antther menace the reforestation policy is designed to comâ€" bat. Naturally, to the pioneers of the early days the forests, as barriers to progress, were scmethingz to be got rid of as quickly as possible. The damage done took long gensrations to repair even in part, and it is only quite reâ€" cently that there has arisen full naâ€" In the details revealed 3y the recent survey of the United States mads by the American Tres Planting Associaâ€" tion will be foung ftcod for serious thought for Canadians. It appears that up to 1933 there had been very little attention paid to reforestation in the United States, ths annual gacreage planting in the naticnal parks being often less than in Great Britain, which is smaller than the State of Georgia. For instance, in 1932 it was only 24,000 acres. But in 1933 it increased to 29,000 and in 1934 the national forsst areas planted exceeded 77,000 acres, while State forest areas similarly treated were in excess Oof 84,000 acres. This msans that last ysar over 85,500,000 trees were planted qn national lands and over 78,000,000 planteg on State lands. For the current year it is estiâ€" mated that at least 150,000,000 seedâ€" lings will be startsd growing in the naâ€" ticnal forests and over a hundred milâ€" licon on State fores; lands. "Why do we neglect the forests of Canada?" asks The Montreal Star, whitch paper proczeds to answer the question. the Dominion Government would conâ€" tribute as planned. Also it should be ncted that Hon. Mr. Heenan blames the layingâ€"off of men at present on the roadwork in the North as due to the Dominion‘s failure to contribute. The fact, however, is that imost of those laid off were woOorking on strictly proâ€" vincial rcads with which the Dominion has nothing whatever to do.

This information was given to the town council at the May meeting of that body by Chicf Wes. Bradley, who is also a member of the council. Fred Thompson, secretary of the Temiskaming Association, was at the meeting, and he explained the methods adopted by his organization to deal with this problem. He said three famâ€" ilieés are being cared for at present, since policies did not cover tubercuâ€" losis, and in two years the Associaâ€" tion has spent azout $2,000 assisting dependent members of these families. Mr. Thompson said the Association got little publicity in the press, as comâ€" pared with the service clubs, but had carried on in this work, which is finâ€" anced by monthly contributions of $10 from the brigades of the Association willing to assist. The majority are willing, Mr. Thompson added. During the winter and early spril this year a shameful amount of sens less damage was done to the New Li keard Beach property, Every year the is some damage done but this is t worst yet. Buildings have been hbroksé into, goods stolen and even in SOi cases small structures wreckeq by U vandals. The police are making effo to secure any or all} of those guilty. est lands constitute threeâ€"quarters of the country‘s total forest wealth, this is a matter of supreme importance. By pursuing a policy of sustained yield and selective logging operations, it is hoped eventually to establish a state of afâ€" fairs where the forest plantings will begin to equal the annual reduction, whether through cutting or fire or Ctherwise. In Canada we still go our supine way without anything like an adequate coâ€" operative policy in regard to forest reâ€" forestation, either y the federal or provincial governments or by timber cperators. Our forest fires continue to take their ghastly toll, as the vast burnedâ€"over areas visible from our railâ€" way lines every year painfully attest. It is not for lack of due warning. But there is in this cOntinuation of a policy of virtual neglect a very certain and ery serious menace to the future. Our forest wealth has been and is being deâ€" pletég at a rate absolutely insensate when compared with the strictly limâ€" ited reforestation cperations carried out. If it g0es on, the future will be a ghastly prospect to contsmplate. And too late the nation will awake to the fact that by its indifference it has lost one of its most valuable natural assets. Remember, it takes fifty years to grow a tree. It takes Cnly a few minutes to cut it down. Firemen of Haileybury Plan to Help Unfortunate So far as the privatelyâ€"owned forest lands of the Uniteq States are conâ€" cerned, these have just been completeâ€" ly surveyed also, and the result shows that the lumbermen and timber land cwners are united in a policy designed to provide the ccuntry with an annual fcrest crcp.

"The Federal Government is coâ€" cperating with the railway and the province in these tests, the outcome of which will show whether Ontario‘s ligâ€" nite resources can be utilized to replace imported fuel on the T. N. O. lines. The deposits of lowâ€"grade lignite, 128 miles nOrth of Cochrane, are estimated to contain 100,.000,000 tons. "Arrangements are being made to bring to Ottawa a considerable quanâ€" tity of Onakawana lignite coal for dryâ€" ing‘ in the Fuel Research Laboratories of the Department of Mines. After the moisture content has beon reduced to se specifications, the coal will have exâ€" tensive tests fOr stemn genetrnting qualities in locomotives on the Temisâ€" kaming and Northein Ontario Railway. It is only a few days ago that Col Mac Lang, chairman of the T. N. 0. Railway, was wyiven approval by the Ontario Government for his plan to study the lignite deposits north of Cochrane with a view to their early development. Col. Lang considers that the T. N. 0. Railway will save Ihminâ€" dreds of thousands of dollars in fuel bills if the lignite egan be developed as a commercial proposition and the fuel can be wuscd on the T. N. O. Of course, in addition to the advantags in direct way through this development of the lignite deposits at Onakawana, north of Cochrane, there would be the indirect bencfit to the railway and the country through the founding of a new industry on the railway‘s James Bay extension. The Ontario governâ€" ment gave approval to Col. Mac Lang‘s proposal and he has given very prompt action. He has arranged for a large quantity of fuel to be taken to Ottawa for testing, and the enthusiastic coâ€" operation of the Ottawa authorities has been secured. In this connection a deâ€" spatch from Ottawa on Tuesday of this weck said:â€" arge Amount of Fuel to be Taken to Ottawa for Test and Engquiry. Plan to Use as Fuel on T. N. 0.
