The Motor Cycle and Side Car have been found to do good work in the St. Maurice Forest Protective Association Territory. FORESTRY IS FORESIGHT There is urgent need for a definite stock-taking of the commercial tim- ber and pulpwood now available. Mathematical accuracy is not essen- tial, but sufficient cruising and gath- ering of data should be completed to permit of reliable estimates being made, much work has already been done by the Commission of Conserv- ation in British Columbia. Similar work will be done m Ontario, as soon as the funds are available and the necessary organization has been com- pleted. Then, too, the provincial government of New Brunswick is engaged in making such a survey. As yet, however, only a partial me- thodical stock-taking has been made of the available pulpwood supplies of Quebec. Quebec has, however, the most important pulpwood area in Canada. The transportation fa- cilities of the province, both nat- ural and artificial, are excellent for the delivery of pulpwood and pulp- wood products on the important markets in America and England. Much additional information as to the amount, distribution and accessibility of these pulpwood areas should be ascertained. Then, mea- surements of each tree in typical areas set apart for that purpose, should be made from time to time to ascer- tain the natural annual increase in diameter under normal conditions in the forest. This information would make possible a close estimate of the probable duration of the supply. But unless there is a replacement of the trees removed, it is obvious that the supply can only last for one generation of trees. In a study of a limited area in the St. Maurice valley, Dr. Howe found that balsam and hardwoods predominate in the new growths, and that spruce and pine are being steadily and surely depleted.
