' "Again I think the government, in view of the heavy dues collected, amount per acre for the clearing awa of the slash, which when dry, is a great menace, ag fire springs up in it. This refyse could be removed and safely burned under supervision, With the ground -- or platform as bushmen call {t--cleared there is splendid chance for repro- duction. Nature is the best source of reforestation and "with clear ground and sunlight the trees rapid- ly develop from seeds and in a few generations are ready for the axe or saw. "The pulp wood situation is an- alogoug to that of the 'timber ecut- [ting, With this exception that the | great bulk of the treeg are used, the | { fronds alone remaining.« If these | tronds, the small branches at the | top of the tree, are laid on | ground, they soon decay through | rains and snow |a few years. | fs much quicker than pine or hard- | woods, and spruce if safely conserv- ed will be ready in twejve or fifteen years to be cut." Railroaders admitted that the | tourist and railway engines are the chief cause of fire; prospectors are | careful for they know the dangers. | The wanderers in the woods too start fires that are not quenched, and-big fires follow. 'The fire ranging in- troduced by the Drury government," said a prospector, "was the best We have yet had. Prior to thelr day \ft was a joke, as the lads engaged were afraid, never. having lived in tha woods. They were city youths with dreadful inexperience." With careful, thoughtful work, with a desire to preserve the forests with attention to the removal of slash, the reproduction of stock and a longer term for leasing limits, Can- ada can maintain for years to come her forest resources, is the conclusion of men who know conditions in the great areas of the northland.
