CANADA LUMBERMAN Brief Echoes of Great Forestry Conference Delegates After Spending Some' Time in Ontario and the East are Now Touring the Prairie ProvincesâProper Stock Taking of Canada9s Resources Urgently Needed The visit of the members of the Britsh Empire Forestry Con- ference to the Ontario Government Experimental Station at St. Wil- liams in Norfolk County, was most interesting and instructive. Lord Lovat, president of the conference, expressed much pleasure in regard to the skilled silviculture of cut-over woods, and the satis- factory plantation mixture of Scotch fir and larch. He was par- ticularly struck with the plantation of red pine and the European plantations in various mixtures. Beautifully kept nurseries, 600 acres in extent, contained some ten to fifteen million plants. Certain ingenious methods of watering dry, sandy soil appealed to him greatly. Asked about the recent work of the British Forestry Com- mission, which he represents, his Lordship mentioned that the com- mission has reafforested 10,000 acres in Great Britain. Moreover, with the aid of unemployment grants, sundry private landowners and corporate bodies had planted another 10,000 and prepared a fur- ther 10,000 for planting this year when unemployment struck the country in the coming winter. The members, while visiting St. Williams, were tendered a luncheon by the Women's Institute of Norfolk County. The dele- gates were much pleased with their visit and were greatly impressed with the possibilities of the nursery and with the efficiency with which the nursery was managed. Lord Lovat, in his address at the luncheon, stated that the nursery was an excellent example of what forestry could do to check permanently the progress of drifting sands, and of the work which could be accomplished in the pre- servation and regeneration of forest growth unde
