The Natural -Resources Intelligence Service of the Department of the In- terior at Ottawa says: The forested areas of Canada stand second only to agricultural lands am- ong the basic natural resourcesof this country, and industries using forest products have been, surpassed by agriculture alone . in mothering commercial growth. Their importance as a factor in the rise of, Canadian commerce is evidenced by the increase of the Dominion's exports of wood, wood products and paper from $42,- 000,000 in 1903 to nearly $268,000,000 1111928. The work of 'ascertaining the actual extent of Canada's commercial forests is a large and exceedingly difficult undertaleing. While progress has hien made, the inventory is still far from complete. It is estimated, how- ever, that approximately 600,000,000 acres of the total land area in the Dominion is covered by forest growth. Of this -150,000,000 acres may be con- sidered as bearing saw timber of• merchantable size, amounting to ap- proximately 550,000,000 M board feet. The remainder of the area carries young stands or timber suitable for pulpwood, fuel, etc. The total pulp- wood resources are estimated to be about 1,300,000,000 cords of which 500,000;000' cords 'is of saw timber size and is included m the estimate of saw timber. The total stand of tim- ber of all kinds, reduced to board measure, ie about° 1,000,000,000 M, feet.
