CANADA LUMBERMAN AND' WOOD WORKER Forestry Students in Practice Camp Important Volume and Growth Data Secured on Interesting Red Pine Stand—Description of Methods used in the Field. A veteran Red Pine 355 years old By H. R. The students in the Faculty of Forestry of the University of Toronto secure valuable experi- ence in actual work in the woods each year. Last October they were fortunate in being able to locate their practice camp at a point in Northern Ontario which provided them with ex- ceptionally interesting facilities for the study of forestry prob- lems. A forestry practice camp, as the name implies, is especially for the purpose of putting into practice in the field, the theory learned in the classroom. Desir- able permanent locations for an- nual camps are not plentiful in Ontario. It would be an ideal ar- rangement, so far as the school of forestry is concerned, if a genuine demonstration camp could be se- cured within a convenient dis- tance of Toronto, which could be managed by the School of Forestry in accordance with principles of forestry. Up to the present no such location has presented itself. Previous practice camps have been held as follows: at Rondeau Park and Burnt Lake in May, 1908, with three students; at Franks Bay on Lake Nipissing in 1909, with four students; at Bala, Muskoka, in May, 1910, with seventeen students; at Fort William Government Nurseries in May, 1911, with 17 students; at Franks Bay on Lake Nipissing in October, 1912, with seventeen students. The fall camp has been found to be a decided improvement over a spring camp, so far as working conditions are concerned. The only drawback is that it interferes considerably with the lecture courses at the Uni- versity. The 1909 camp at Franks Bay was reached by a forced march from Callander over the old Nipissing trail. The march was "forc
