Good example being found throughout the country the mention of one here will be sufficient. In the Upper Ottawa region a certain area of some fifty square miles was swept by fire about 75 years ago, and although the destruction was complete on the burned parts there is growing on them to-day a dense covering of valuable spruce which sprang up from seed supplied by the fortunate presence of scattered clusters of five or six to fifteen or twenty old spruce trees, which es- caped destruction at the time of the fire. Elsewhere the same fire swept some areas clean, leaving no such clusters of seed trees with the result that only deciduous trees have sprung up, The Spring Fire-Peak If the forest fire danger was re- presented by a line rising and falling as the danger increased or decreas- ed there would be a sharp rise or "peak" in the few weeks after the winter snow leaves the woods. This is so much the case that the term "Spring Fires" is well known to every forester. The ground is dry, the dead leaves and herbage are sap- less and tindery, and the least spark may start a fire that will sweep whole miles of forest. All who go to the woods are cautioned to see that they are especially careful to put out completely their camp fires and to see that no fires start from matches, pipes, cigar stubs or fire arms. Canada has many fire guar- dians on duty at this season but if these rules are observed much more timber will be saved than can be saved through the most strenuous efforts of fire fighters. The time to stop a forest fire is before it starts. Canada is in a war that is taxing her re
