On the average„ over 3,500 million board feet are destroyed annually. The forests of Canada are being depleted at a rate they cannot possibly withstand; more than half of this depletion is due to fire, in- sects arid decay. The future of the forest in- dustry is just as dependtnt on the seedling, trees and 'young growth as the pulp and pap- er and lumber mills, and. industry generally, are dependen.t on matute timber ---both must ' be saved, from the ravages of fire. In addition to the shelter by the forest to the farm er and his stock, settlers in forested regions are viially de- , pendent on the woods for winter 'employment. Care with fire in land -clearing » operations is alleessential—burned tinThee pays no wages. • Canada has the finest inland fishing in the world, but these splendid food and game fah 'require clean, cold, • water its the streams, to‘'' ensure prolific reproduction. Forest fires are inimical to fish life. Game anirnals attract foreign tourists and induce Canadians to seek pleasure, he'alth, and adventure in the great dutdeore. 'these animals are distinctly a toreet ree seurce—utterly dependent on it for protection and. food. Forest fires are most deetrnctive of such wild life.
