On March lst, the car started out fand has covered over 2,000 miles in ‘Manitoba a nd Saskatchewan, holding ‘191 lectures in t he 97 towns visited with a total attendance of 26,500. From the number attending, the in- terest shown, co-operation of t he in~ terested parties and the results ob tained,‘ the 1930 tour of the tree plan- ting car has, from the very start, been an outstanding success. The tree planting car of the Can- adian Forestry Association, now on its 12th annual car tour of the prairie provinces, carrying on its mission of interesting, encouraging and instruc- ting the farmers and the people in the smaller towns of the west in the plans ting of trees and shrubs for wind- breakers, shelter and the beautifica- tion of homes. is now in Alberta.
