R. MacMillan. The statistical work conducted by the Forestry Branch of the Department of the Interior, Ottawa, during the past three years, has enabled us, for the first time, to form an authorative estimate of the quantity and value of the annual forest products of Canada. The quantities given in Table 1 repre- sent the amounts of timber cut—the woods to furnish the material necessary for each class of products. Owing to the very great waste in the utilization of wood in Can- ada only about three-fifths of this wood was ever actually put into use. The values given in Table 1 are the values of each class of products at the point of manufacture. Were the timber products of Canada to be traced to their highest ,, manufactured form their total value would Macivmian greatly exceed the $166,000,000 given here over one-quarter of the total and the remaining one-quarter is made up of nine different classes of products, of which posts, poles and rails, and pulpwood are the most important. The quantity of timber cut and its value at the point of pro- duction for each of the classes of forest produce for 1909 is given in Table 1. The figures for quantity and value have been rounded off to millions.
