Ag regards the forests of Canada, there-has come about a remarkable. transformation in the public: point. of view during the past fifteen years. In the days when timber industries were only moderately important and when the lack of accurate information con- cerning the forest resources fixed upon the public mind a fictitious view as to the supposed "inexhausti- bility" of the storehouse of timber, it was not surprising that conserva. tion policies should have been mostly of sentimental rather than practical value. Investigation ~has demon- strated that the forest area is very much more contracted than was firsc thought to be the case. It was also learned that, contrary to common be- lief, forests once burned down or de- vastated by the axe did not usually reconstitute themselves except at in- creaibly long periods.

An excellent example of how a forest area, which yesterday way a wilderness, can become in a few months the scene of a highly pros-| erous industrial town, is supnlied y the history of Iroquois Falls in Northern Ontario. Only a few vears ago the townsite was occupied by a few settlers and travellers. To-day, by the establishment of a pulp and paper industry, 2,500 men are given regular employment' and the wage distribution each year is over $3.- 750,000. The term, "forest conservation" is frequently misinterpreted to indi- cate that the conservationist would place a Chinese wall about the standing timber and slow down the wheels of all wood-using industries, This, however, is the antithesis of th. aim of the true conservationist, The desire is not to prevent the utilization of timber trees but to en- courage such a system of forest fire protection accompanied by such scientific methods of timber cutting as should maintain the forest areas as a productive source for all time to come. In the past, the areas cut over were in many cases turned into permanent barrens. Increasing value of timber:and the present enormous costs of establishing a pulp and paper mill have rendered necessary in the eye: of all progres- sive forest owners a changed method of operating so as to keep each area growing successive timber crops a! ducing itself, { but regular intervals. 'The fou gt be "anchored" mill dam, Of the total about eighty per cent. & permanent forest-growimg e and for that reason quit | for agricultural developnyent, means, of course, that over and-a-half million square miles can return no useful services unless made to grow timber in Canada's national | forest-growing country pent time is not the s | ural forest land but the position it the ty of low production of timber per acre char acteristic of the areas east of the | Rocky Mountains.

Were the uses of forest fire attributable to some purely accidental source, as lightning, the record might be ac. | cepted with some resignation. [It iy a well demonstrated fact, however, that ninety per cent. of all forest fires are of Maman origin. The set- tler in his land clearing operations, the camper and his inextinguished camp fire, the smoker with his light. ed cigarette, mitch or pipe ashes, have accounted for a serious part of the nation's timber sacrifice.
