FARM BOUTS HAVE BEAT VALUE The forested areas found on farms in Canada and generally known as farm Woodlots, supply about 80 per cent of all the wood tut in Canada each year. D. Roy Cameron, Doming ion Forester, Department of -Mines and resources, fold the Forestry Committee of the Food and Agriculture Orgartiza. tion at the FAO Conference, recently held in Quebec City. These forested areas provide nearly 1,000,000 cords of season to a much greater degree than for some years. The war clouds have been dispersed and many of our boys and girls are' rback with us. •There are still thousands in our army over- seas but many of these will be home soon and we rejoice with their relatives and friends that such is the case. With the war over many of us will feel in a much happier mood but let us not- for- get those who have been bereaved. We 'should do what we can to comfort them. Let us also remember• those who are suffering from Honourable wounds, those who arc suffering in mind, and those who are confined to our hospitals with illness due to war service. The war is not over for them but we hope that they have the 'best Christinas possible under the circum- stances. Much of the Joy of Christ- tnas is in meeting and greeting our friends, doing kindly acts. At this time let us remember that it is better to give than to receive. pulpwood annually and 8 to 81/2 tnil- lion cords of fuelwood, as well as saw- logs and other products. The large part of the fuelwood is used on the farm but sales of fuelwood, pulpwood and other products contribute very substantially to farm cash incomes. The farmer who possesses a good woodlot, protected from grazing and managed for continuous production, is usually more prosperous than neigh- bours whose wbodlots have been allow- to deteriorate. Many of the farm reg- ions in Canada have become deficient in forest .cover,4 and serious consequen- ces are becoming evident in the form of erosion, soil deterioration, irregular- ity of stream flow and lowering of the ground water table. Industrial forest operations, as dis- tinct from work on woodlots, are of great importance to farms in many sections of Canada. Work in the log- ging camps provides cash income dur- ing the winter months, and the forest industries are very large consumers of the products of agriculture. Were it not for local sales outlets provided by logging camps, farming in many of the more remote parts of the country would be reduced to a bare subsistence level. On the other hand farmers con- sume a large quantity of forest pro- ducts. Agriculture and forestry are closely interdependent in Canada and prosperity of the one is likely to be reflected in the other, says Mr. Camer- on,
