. Canadian forestry journal. Forests and forestry -- Canada Periodicals. 1388 Canadian Forestry Journal, November, 1917 the same evidence of vigor, rapidly becoming a dense forest. A Pronounced Success In the Wawbeek Division near Axton a plantation of white pine, Scotch pine and Norway spruce made on cut over lands was seen and formed a marked contrast to the unplanted lands in the vicinity. Finally a plantation of Scotch pine made on burned over lands was examined. It formed a dense young forest, almost impenetrable, and, though small in area, should in time furnish a splendid stand of timber. Farther along the road the results of letting a fire run into this 3'oung growth were seen and formed a most unpleasing contrast. While the plantations show lack of care in some respects the general impression left is that they are a pro- nounced success and should have been carried to completion. While a less hasty visit and with someone fully acquainted with the original experiment would -have brought out fuller and more exact information, yet it is thought that even this slight sketch of the situation is a fair summary of its general aspect. One striking feature was the un- animity of opinion in the district, so far as it was met, that the abandon- ment of the work was a serious mis- take. Stock from the forest school nursery was supplied to the State Commission in 1902 for planting on state lands and stock remaining in the nurseries was used for similar purposes later, and if the initiation of the active and successful nursery and planta- tions established by the state is due in any degree to the Forest School experiment it is surely justified by its A Glimpse of the Annual Log Harvest that Pays into New Brunswiclt's Treasury Over Half a Million Dollars a Year.
