Thirty years will not restore to the burned lands the wood supply that existed be- fore the railway arrived and that same wood supply is of the highest importance to successful settlement. A Proud Record For Canadian Foresters Probably no other profession in this country is able to show such a percentage of enlisted men as that of forestry. \'ery clearly, the motives actuating the foresters who have left their employment to take up arms were of the highest type. In nearly aH the cases of which we have record, the men left well-paid positions in order to accept the hardships and dangers of military life. A rough estimate made by one of the professors in the Faculty of Forestry, Toronto University, places the number of foresters engaged in the practice of forestrv or allied occupations at 62 and the number en- listed (to October 20th) at 20. Of 71 undergraduates in Canadian forest schools. 27 have enlisted. In other words, of the Canadian foresters engaged in their pro- fession, 32 per cent, have enlisted, while of the undergraduates 37 per cent, have enlisted. The two combined show an enlistment of 35 per cent, which in view of the two per cent, enlistment for the entire country is probably a greater percentage of enlistment than from any other profession in Canada except army men. This estimate leaves out of consideration entirely a large number of men engaged in forestry work, such as rangers and non-professional supervisors, many of whom have enlisted, and it also leaves out of considera- tion foreign-born foresters in professional work in Canada, of whom there are about 15. *.
