Canada is Timber Storehouse
Great Britain Looks to Dominion for
Empire Supply Afforestation
Work in Old Country
The rapidity with which European
countries are realizing that Canada's
forest resources are destined to ploy
an increasing hart in supplying world'
steeds, and the growing attention be-
ing
-int; focused on our timber supplies,
innrketine, faciiities, methods of con.
sees -Mims anti. appalling fire losses
were brought out at recent forestry
t onfereuees held in Franco and Great
Britain. The mother country, par-
ticularly. 'look., to Canada as the
great :storehouse of Empire, timber.
The Ilritl-h Assoi'iation for the Ad-
vancement of Science, one of they
largest and most uuthoritativer organ-
ization;:of scientists in •the• world,
treeed foreAry problems at it ilea:,
meeting at Southampton, England.
'i'he special forestry section, width
was founded atlast year's meetlsi
et the Association in Toronto, Can•
oda, was rimrrsented at the rneetintrr:
of th6 section by Mr. D Roy Cam -
eon, Assistant Director of Forestry,
sem during the past season spent
some weeks in Europe making a
study of forest conditions and meth-
ods of conservation.
One of the most noteworthy pap-
ere presented before the forestry sec-
tion of the Ilt'itisb Association was
given by Lord Lova, Chairman of the
British Forestry Commission, de-
'eribing the progress its post-war
forestry development in the British
Isles, and the Commission's plans for
the future. The Commission is con-
ducting a very extensive afforesta-
tion program and beginning this fall
39,000,000 trees will be planted in ,
Great Britain. By the spring
trees will occupy 22,000 acres of what
-would otherwise be chiefly waste
land. Since it began its work fire
years acro the Commission has pint.,
ed 52,500 acres and assisted local
authorities and private owners to
plant another 50,000 acres, result -
Mg in 181 000,000 new trees in Eng-
land. Wales and Scotland. The pro-
ram spread over ton years provides
for the planting of 250,000 acres
with 450 000,000 trees
While accompanying Lord Lovas,
Chairman of the Commission, on a
tour of inspection,- Mr. Cameron saw
thousands of acres of plantations cov-
ered with Dounglas fir and SitIte
spruce grown from Canadian seed
collected for the British Government
by the Forest Service of the Depart-
ment of the Interior.
As interesting perhaps as the plan-
tations themselves is the development
of the "forest holdings" polity of the
British Forestry Commission. The
intimate correlation of forestry and
agriculture is recognized in Great
Britain, and in the extensive affores-
tation projects an opportunity is seen
for establishing permanent rural com-
munities dependent'en both forestry
and agriculture for their livelihood.
Accordingly, the Forestry Commis-
siorters acquire agricultural lands ad-
joining the plantations and lease them
olt easy terms. The lessees are
guaranteed not less than 150 days
work per annum from the Commis-
sion and have the remainder of the
year to attend to their agricultural
pursuits. Inthis way, not only is the
farmer sure• of a steady cash income
to supplement the production of his
Latin, hut the Commicsian also eel--
tires
'etures a reliable:' and interested iabnitr
subtly.
The number of holdirai a is of
course, determined by the labour r.:-
quirements of tho plantation project.
The rate of afforestation is so ad-
justed that planting will continue
year by year until such time as the
earliest plantations will produce
marketable thinnings. The work re-
quired to thin these new areas will
occupy the time of the then no long-
er needed for planting, Thinning
operations are in turn adjusted to
last until the timber on older areas
reaches maturity and the final crop
can be Harvested. Following har-
vesting each area will again be plant-
ed,
This forest holdings policy is con-
sidered by authorities to be one of
the soundest and most feasible "back-'
to -the -land" movements yet advanced
in the British Isles. The supplement-
ing of farm work with forestry labor,
paid in cash, enables the holder to
b ing under agriculture, lands form-
erly 'too poor . to support a family
under, existing; economic conditions in
Great Britain. The basis of the
whole is the treatment of 'the forest
as a crop to be handled In perpetuity
rather than as a mine to be exploited
and abandoned.
THE LADIES' CORNER

No girl now marries a man for

GETTING SOMEWHERE
From time to time reports appear
in the press showing the number of
accidents reported to the Workmen's
Compensation Board and referring
to the large sums of money awarded
for compensation, It is interesting
to compare the first ten months of
1924 and 1925. From January to
October inclusive, 1924, there were
49,635 accidents reported to the
Compensation Board by all employers
under compensation in Ontario in-
cluding 322 death cases. In the
same tun months of 1925, there were
49,745 accidents repotted including
284 fatalities, The decrease in death
rases is most encouraging
and means
much to the whole province,
A comparison of compensation aw-
arded le most illuminating. In the
first feu months of 1924
the .Board
awarded $5,282,908.29 and for the
same time in 1925 the awards total
led $4,592,236.85, or a decrease of
approximately seven hundred thous-
and dollars, This decrease in death
cases and the decrease in accidents
is part of the general evidence that
the more severe, more costly type
nf'accident, is beingslow,.reduced
in number and that the accident pre-
vention movement is "getting some-
where."
COMBATTING TUBERCULOSIS
Thenational oat 2
rap ign to eliminate
all forms of tuberculosis in Canada
has been launched under the auspices
of the National Research Council of
Canada, and while it will not increase
so much the amount of scientific work
now being done, there will be cer-
tain new policies and the general
work will be co -related.
The Liberal Government took a
sorra interest in the proposal to hold
these investigations, and Parliament
passed an appropriation which the
Council will find adequate, at least
at tete, start.
Plans for the campaign have been
carefully made after six months of
sees! preparation. Data has been
collected on -ail hranepltos of tuber-
mitosis inquiry and last October a
meeting was held in Ottawa by pro-
minent scientists 'interested in the
matter, These included men who are
done work in connection with :nen,
animate and fowl. •
The Council has been provided
with a ,:um:of:-830,000 and work will

"Coining on to stand by your $ide

wrote the loyal•souted Warren, but he
received a reply, prompt and final:
"Stay where yua•ere and' make a
ratan of yourself.- There are too many
gathering up the wreck of ray for-
tune already,"
Then Warren went the rounds of his'
friends clearly apprised of the dif-
ference between an heir expectant find

oft his bachelor belongings and re-
moved from A sumptuous suite to a
small recon fu a " cheap quarter. lie

Warren chuckled as he drove a little
covered delivery wagon the first day
of his acceptance of the only job that
came bis way, Ile possessed a rare
sense of humor and the quaintness of
his pnsitlott Amused stint. In tate back
of the wagon was a great wooden box
that usually held bushels and bushels
of crisp salted pe•ennts. Warren was
in ,fact one of a irunerons group who
went around dell;• and filled the glass
penny -in -the -slot machines which held
"Crigson's Famous One Cent Lunches."
The machines were set wherever there
was a likelihood of the passerby being
attracted by the fact that the expendi-
ture of a mere tent would secure It
toothsome handful of the anomalous
fresh salted peanuts.
' One of the most ardent et the cus-
tomers of the luxury was Benny Lee.
He had acquired -a penny one morning
and had started out early to Invest in
his favorite esculent. Warren, on his
way to headquarters to secure his
daily supply, saw the little fellow ap-
proach a corner machine,insert tits

container was empty. Little Benny
shook the machine, pounded It, a look
of distress on his face, and he began
to cry, Warren pelled'up promptly.
"Empty, tuy little man," he spoke.
"Now hop up here beside me, and 1'21
see that you get the most famous -
penny's worth of peanuts any boy ever
bappened onto."
It was less than a mite to the ware-
house, and once arrived there Warren
gave Benny a big paper bag and led
Item to a chute.
"Hold' it under the end Isere," di.
meted the big-hearted Warren, anti
Benny's eyes bulged as at the touch of

of peanuts filling the b overflow-

home with his wonderful story of a
reel living Santa Claus and his won-
derful treasure.
It was that saute afternoon that
Warren Dole, passing a tree -shaded
yard near to the point where he had
(set little Benny, halted to .survey n
scene that did his heart good. Seated
on the grass were nearly a dozen little
children, and neat- titom wooden plates
