To accomplish this i'. is not necej^ary to keep these northern forests as locked-up capital, but t'^ dispose of the timber as it matures, and to see that lumbering opera- tions are sc conducted as to provide for the natural regenera- tion of the forest growth. All that is requisite for this purpose is to protect the partially-denuded tracts from fire, and Nature will do the rest; not, perhaps, so quickly or with so commercially judicious a selection of varieties as if aided by the skill of the forester, but successfully neverthe- less. Mr. Sout*-worth,'acting on the suggestion of the Commis- sioner of Ciown Lands, requested the Crown timber agents to report on the reproduction of pine in the burned areas, and from the reports sent in it appears that over large tracts of the forest lands young pme is springing up and grow- ing vigorously, which only require protection to become as valuable timber as ever was cut. Alluding to the general ideas concerning the reproduction of white pine, he says:— " A general impression exists, endorsed to some extent by scientific authority, that something like a natural law of rotation of crops prevails, in accordance with which pine, when removed, is invariably succeeded by dt ..duous trees. The information compris^ in the reports renders it abundantly evident that *hh is a popular error, due to insufficient consideration of all the conditions in connection with the reproduction of forest vegetation. The fact that the clearance of pine is generally followed by a growth of other varieties is due entirely to the agency of f
