Their ; importance is emphasized by the : fact that the Canadian Institute i of Forestry has this year elected to concentrate its efforts to pro mote [across i rent [ grams I zations. In Ontario guidence in farm woodlot improvement is one function of the Division of Re forestation in the Department of Lands and Forests. The govern ment provides many forms of as sistance, such as: the distribution of free forest trees for reforesta tion: a field staff of technical foresters to advise on silvicul ture, management and utiliza tion; and legislation to benefit and protect woodlots owners. There are many woodlots that reflect the value of government policy. But it must be admitted too, that there are still many woodlots that are badly manag ed and that the total annual yield falls short of the volume that is technically possible. The present popularity of farm woodlot improvement pro grams gives cause for a brief review of a few fundamental considerations. Because these are not strictly forestry matters, [foresters may be inclined to over- i look them in their eagerness to woodlot perfection. Yet this foundation, the interest is apt to be improved farm woodlots Canada.

First of all, the farmer should decide if a woodlot is properly a part of his farm enterprise. If after considering all the factors, he decides that it is, then he should set aside a portion of the farm for the -continuous produc tion of wood -crops. This is actu ally a job of farm planning. It means that the land use capa bilities have been considered in ! the over all sense and that i woodlots have been recognized as an asset of the greatest benefit, which may not necessarily be measured in terms of dollars. A wood lot and a forest may have much in -common. Never theless, commercial cutting prac tices have limited use in the ! managed farm woodlot. A wood- ' lot is a crop producing part of the farm and, therefore, the farmer must be taught to recog nize and to treat it as such. In no other part of the farm bus iness would he normally sell on a similar basis to “stumpage sales. The farmer must accept the responsibility for woodlot management, and his rewards— financial and personal—will be in proportion to the care given. There are ridgid limits with in which most farm activities must be completed. It is perhaps unfortunate that woodlots have not the same urgency, because the effects of neglect are allowed to compound. Therefore, forestry advisers should be prepared to place the needs of the woodlot second to tli© needs of the farm, if by so doing it is pos sible to prepare ah acceptable schedule of woods work. This must be based on the estimated man-days available each year. The experience elsewhere has been that the farmer, if given a reasonable schedule -and a clear outline of his objectives, will make satisfarctory progress in woodlot management.Integrated farm forestry is a farm job on forest land.

Ltd Your Barrett Dealer in Dashwood j THE ROUGHNECKS ARE MOVING ON I In the language of the oil fields, "roughnecks” are the men of the drilling crews who probe deep in the earth for oil. You’ll find them in any oil field doing* the hard tedious work that goes into the drilling of every well. But roughnecks like it best when the going is toughest and most exciting—when they move on to search for oil where it has never been found. In Alberta the odds are against them, only one wildcat well in 20 is likely to be successful. Working against these odds, roughnecks’ drills have tapped more than a billion barrels of new oil in Alberta since 1947, bringing new prosperity and new security to all Canada. In fact Canadians now produce one in every three barrels they use—but we still must depend on foreign countries for the other two. To be self-sufficient we must have three times our present resefves. The roughnecks keep moving on in the unending search for oil. As they succeed they benefit and strengthen the entire nation. About Canada’s Oil Before discovering the Leduc field in 1947, Imperial drilled 133 explora tory wells in western Canada—all dry—over a period of almost 30 years. The cost of an exploratory well varies from about $100,000 to more than $1 million. It is estimated the oil industry will spend $200 millions on exploration and development in the prairies this year.
