According to the latest census of fig: ures, there are nearly 130,000 persons employed in the wood and paper in- dustries of Canada and 40,000 in the logging industry. In the construction industry where wood plays such an ~ important and essential part, another 185,000 are employed. Transporta- tion services which owe so much to products of the forests which consti- tute one of their largest and most con sistent sources of revenue afford em- ployment to nearly one-quarter mil- lion persons, and so on. In fact, al- most every industry, not excluding agriculture itself, directly or indirect- ly relies for necessary equipment and supplies on the forests. In connection with trapping, hunt: ing and fishing, the value of the for- est is of first importance, for if the forests were destroyed, fur and game animals would rapidly become non- existent, The beauty of the forests, lakes and mountains, the abundance of game and fish, attracts many visi- tors and provides health and pleasure, also a large annaul revenue to Can- adians. + Forests grow, mature, deteriorate and decay. Once a tree has attained matdrity nothing is to be gained by poktponing its cutting. When cutting the mature tree, however, the protec- tion of the small tree struggling for its existence nearby should be assur- ed. The small trees of to-day are our | have been rebuilt; railways, roads and convert a surplus into a deficit it only, forests of the future. One well:known forest authority has suggested that in each district where timber rights are granted, the average annual growth per acre be ascertained and only the larger trees, to an extent not exceeding the annual growth of timber as a whole per acre, be cut, The forests would be growing in value year by year if this plan were followed. The planting of trees and shrubs along highways and bordering fields for windbreaks will, as the practice increases, become a means of increas- ing the wgod supply materially and, in the course of yeras, may build up a valuable source of timber supplies. Canada's Key Problem, BY C. W. PETERSON. Approximatély "one-third 'of Can ada"s estimated area of arable land is to-day alienated and occupied, though not fully developed. If we credit the people' who selected this land with ordinary, common sense, we must con- clude that it contains the cream of our vast, arable area. No agricultural country ou earth would, in its virgin state, contain-so large a proportion of high quality land as one-third of its arable area, We must, therefore, ad- mit, and anyone conversant with the facts will readily support such a con- clusion, that our. present unalienated, arable area falls distinctly within the category of medium to inferior lands. To obtain a true picture of our real colonization problem, we must realize that the bulk of these lands come within the term "marginal" An examination of them would at once reveal the fact that nine-tenths are below par in quality. They are lo- cated in areas where the rainfall normally is insufficient to produce satisfactory agricultural results, or they are heavily treed and low-lying, stony, or have thin soil, or exhibit other undesirable features, They are, infact, culls. Most of these lands present a problem in human labor, and are mar- ginal only until reclaimed by hard pioneering effort when they will graduate into the class of more or less productive lands. But their reclama- tion involves clearing, digging out of stones, drainage or similar uninvit- ing and time-consuming labor, unpro- ductive for the time being. A depressing number of Canadians, Britishers and Americans have fail- ed, at great economic loss and to the ever detriment. of. Canada, in | establishing themselves permanently upon farms of that class in Western Canada, "Flivvers", rural phones and mail delivery can play no con- ro spicuous part in such a toilsome undertaking. It calls rather for the ; Spartanic life of the early backwoods settler of old Canada, with something approaching the crude standard of living then in vogue. Who is going to "mop up" this Herculanean task for us? We might as well, now and
