Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. 54 CANADA LUMBERMAN responded to fully, but bush labor will increase later on. The average wage being paid this year is $ a month and board. An imiportant conference was held recently at the offices of the Hon. Beniah Bowman, Minister of Lands and Forests for Ontario, in an effort to reach a standardization of measuring and culling lum- ber. The Crown Land timber agents for the province were pre- sent, and it was stated that the gathering did not mean any action in regard to the Doyle rule, the abolition of which has been recom- mended by Judson F. Clark, forestry expert, who advocates dispos- ing of wood' on a cubic content basis instead of the estimated pro- duct in board feet. At the annual meeting of the directors of the Laurentide Co., which was held recently in Montreal, a resolution of regret on the death of R. B. Angus, former president and a director of the com- pany since its inception, was carried. F. E. McNally, assistant sec- retary, was chosen to fill the vacancy created by the passing of Mr. Angus. George Chahoon, Jr., Avho presided, stated that the outlook in the pulp and paper line was good and that conditions had been stabilized to a large degree and the losses due to deflation had been balanced by suitable measures. The Forest Rangers School, initiated by the province of Quebec, will be among the most important projects presented at the next Ses- sion of the Legislature by Hon. Honore Mercier concerning the con- servation of the forests in Quebec. Whether the new school will be located in Shawinigan or attached to the Berthierville Provincial Nursery, has not been decided, but is under consideration. The course will be a two-year one and will be very practical. The forest rangers, at the end of that period, will be given certificates which will allow them to improve their present status.
