Propagarda for the better treatment of our woodlands has always carried a prominent and noteworthy characteristic in the sympathy and co-operation of the lumbermen. The meetmg of foresters and lumbermen in frank and open discussion of their problems invariably excites comment of admiration and envy from the visiting foresters from other countries. A strik- ing characteristic has been friendly co-opera- tion- in discussion. Foresters and lumbermen have met and talked and made resolutions on the advisability of doing certain things for the benefit of the forest. They have separated to meet again next year to talk and make more resolutions. They have been doing this for thirty years and they have accomplished much in an educational way. But in reality the for- ests can be improved only by action in the for- est, not in the office chair, not in the hotel corridor, not even at the banquet table. How- ever, the more progressive foresters and lum- bermen have realized this and so it has come to pass that theories are to be put into practice. Indeed, the only way to determine whether or not a theory will work is to try it—a self- evident fact lost sight of by other men than those interested in the welfare of the forests. The Bathurst Lumber Company in co-opera- tion with the New Brunswick Forest Service is carrying on experimental cuttings on 500 acres of undersized spruce on the Nipisguit river. A portion of the area is being cut under the strip system. Strips from one chain wide to three chains wide are cut clean, with strips two chains wide between, uncut or lightly culled. A por- tion is being cut clean in more or less circular patches of various sizes, comprising one-quarter acre to two acres in extent. Other portions are being thinned by cutting to 10, 8 and 6 inch diameter limits respectively. The slash on one- half the
