ers have informed me would not have
existed but for the forestry literature
which they hae-e had opportunities of
reading. These again will act as exe
amples and others will follow tn their
tracks. The advantake of the country
so far has been immense.
But much more remains to be done.
Many farms haye been improved. but
there are many thousands yet untouch
ed. It should always be remembered
that in retaining on each farm its pro-
per proportion of timber we supply a
constant stock of moisture for the re-
maining land. We also supply a res-
esvoir where the falling rain may
lodge, which will then gradually by
underground channels be fed out to
the rest of the land. Another and most
important pointis the amount of sheL-
ter obtained, from wind breaks, which
would otherwise too rapidly dry up the
land.
I have repeatedly observed thet even
wheie land has Peen well uuderdrained
and was left unsheltered as good crops
were not obtained as in sheltered local-
ities, though these last had not been
uncle:drained at all. When we consid-
er how easily this machinery may be
set in motion, that thousands of ever-
greens are procurable in many pasts
of the country, and with how little
trouble long' lines of them be planted
out, it would desirable that the matter
should be taken in hand at once. Once
planted, improvements go on without
additional labor and the whole farm
will speedily become more beautiful
and more profitable.
However, my principal object in
sending on this letter was not to write
an article on forestry. What I chiefly
wished to mention was that this year's
forestry report is now being distribut-
ed and will be sent to anyone who
will send me his address.
