He will report conditions to headciuarters by telephone, the station being located at the foot of the tower. The Reforestation of Sand Lands. Mr. R. F. Davy, Assistant Engineer, Dept. of Public Works, Timiskaming, Que., writes: 'The reforestation of sanl lands is a timely subject, and it naturally follows how best to achieve this result. Questions will arise as to which is the most suitable timber to grow; whether to sow seed or plant sap- lings; the cost per acre; amount of labor required anle ahead of us. A child will in 90 per cent, of circumstances support itself and he of assistance to the community at the age of twenty-one; a tree likewise planted by seed or sap)ling will support itself and likewise be proiluctive from twenty-one years of growth. It will be of value com- mercially speaking, and from the same area an everlasting growth of timber can be maintained, reaching a maximum value at the end of 100 years. More figuratively speaking, an acre of small trees at the age of, say 21 years, will be worth $; at .% years, .$; at m years, .$; and at 100 years, .$1, ' The above figures would vary with the species of timber and the demand, and are used only as an argument. To my mind this work should not fall upon the individual but upon the Govriiniifnt.'.
