PLANS TO GUARD
CANADIAN FORESTS
Association Makes Campaign
to Lessen Havoc of Great
Fires.

MONTREAL, June 30.-The Canadian
Forestry Association has n mans size,
lifelong job on its hands In Its work of
protecting the future of Canadian indus
tries That are dependent upon :he forest
and which are seriously threatened with
extinction by carelessness with regard
TO fires. 1t has recently issued book
let in which the story of camp fire Is
given as dialogue between the spirit
Of the flames and a boy who went out
into the woods for an adventure. This
certainly should bring home 10 tho care
less camper rot only the danger of leaV-
ing a fire that is not completely eNtin-
guished, or allowing a camp fire to get
too large and It also contains some most
pointed directions for extinguishinG a
fire. The whole thing is presented in an
interesting way that makes very good
reading and can be made the basis of
very lively evenings meeting for troop
of Boy Scouts or Camp Fire Girls, or
even for Il reading lesson In school
class room.
The recent hot weather brought shud-
ders OF anticipation to nearly every one
in Canada who gives a thought to the
serious and dangerous condition in which
most of the Dominion is found as re
CARDS protection from forest fires. The
long. wet spring seemed to give promise
of safe woods conditions for consider
able time. and the high water has no
doubt kept marshes In very wet con-
dition; but the rapidly falling water
level and the very hot days will very
soon change the whole state OF analrs
from a condition OF safety to one OF eN-
treme liability to a serious fire. In fact
a fire In Quebec has already destroyed
10000, 900 feet Of timber.

PRAIRIE PROVINCES
PREDICT BIG CROP
Western Canada Supplants
East in the Extension Of
Wheat Acreage.

The announcement of the Dominion
Bureau Of Statistics that the three Prai-
rle Provinces had this year 15.450,700
acres under wheat cultivation serves to
recall the extent to which the West has
supplanted the East during the present
generation in respect to this particular
staple article Of food.
Until about thIrty-nve years ago On
tario was the centre Of the wheat grow
ing industry. and as such practically
monopolized the export trade. True,
wheat was being produced to some ex-
tent in Manitoba. and a small shipment
was first made from that province In
1877; but II was not until 1885, coinci-
dent with the opening OF the c. p. R.
that the first trainload OF wheat was
shipped East from that province. SIM
ply because no facilities for doing so
had primarily existed. And that first
trainload consisted only Of sixteen cars.
w. l.. Edmonds, writing In the To-
rorto Globe, points out that at that time
the production of wheat in the whole OF
Canada aggregated only a little over
30, GOO. 900 bushels, while the three Prai-
RE Provinces in 1915. the year Of the
big crop, alone harvested 360.1S7, 900
bushels, and during the Ave year period
covered by the war a total of Lib
SAC, 200 bushels, or over 80 per cent. OF
the Dominion's whole output.
The advent of the West as a wheat
producer has naturally had an enor-
mously stimulating effect upon Canada's
wheat export trade. AS comparatively
recently as thirty-three years ago the
trade amounted only to 3.419.16S BUSH
els, whereas in 1917 a record of 1884,
643,s46 bushels was made, while the ag-
gregate for the SIX fiscal years ended
March 81 last was 731.495.160 bushels
the value OF which was $1,07l,5 50,6S7.
The value of the wheat produced In
Canada during the Ave harvests covered
by the war period was S1.732. 04s.600, OF
which 1851 1890 can be credited &c
the Western provinces. AS the totaI
area under wheat cultivation this yeaI
Is 1888, 500 acres. 1t follows that, with
i5.45O.700 acres, over 81 per cent. lies
within the three Prairie Provinces.

Damage Done by Insects.

With the destruction OF forests In
Europe both by shell fire and excessive
cutting there has come in call Tor
Canadian timber that will make heavy
inroads on our supplies and the de-
strucuon that has already taken place
in Canada indicates that much greater
care must be taken for the future II we
are to have any assurance of the con-
tinued operation OF Industries depending
upon this kind OF raw material.
Efficient forest protective organiZa-
tions are necessary, but the most impor
tant of all considerations is to have an
intelligent public whose conscience will
pot permit the throwing OF lighted
matches or hot pipe ashes or cigarette
butts promiscuously about the woods, or
the wing OF camp fires with a single
live coal or the giving of permission IN
settlers to burn brush except under per-
fectly safe conditions. Railroads are
pretty well regulated and the fire from
locomotives are becoming quite infre-
quent. while section hands are also eX-
ercising more care in regard TO the dan
ger from fire. 1t is the general puzzle
and the individual conscience that must
be appealed to in order to prevent fires
from starting. 1t is only by keeping
fires from getting a start that we can
hope TO make our forests completely
safe from this danger

How can we possibly expect to keep
most-favored-nation treatment In for
etgn countries when We announce such
intentions? Reviving Germany will not
be slow to take advantage OF the sore
ness and suspicion which must be en-
gendered OF this tariff policy to offer
terms OF commerce which will secure for
her at our expense the expanding for
eiGn markets she will need. Moreover.
this preference cannot fail TO feed the
feeling already manifested In some quar-
tiers that England is playing fast and
loose with the unity of her empire
When she wants representation on the
league each OF her dominions ranks as n
separate sef-governing unit, and she
becomes not one, but six. When business
considerations occupy her attention she
seeks to weld her empire into solid
block. presenting to the outside world a
single economic system.
"'Of course she cannot succeed In
doing this, but any progress she makes
toward 1t Is fraught with economic and
political injuries which are peculiarly
grave at time when the reestablish-
ment OF world trade on a sound footing
Is OF the utmost urgency"

Market for Farm Products.

AS a great food producing country
Canada is bound always to enjoy agri-
cultural prosperity 1t must be many
years before Europe is able to recover
agriculturally from the effects of the
war. In the meantime the hungry mil
lions must be fed, and II would seem GER
tain that Canada's agriculture will not
lack for profitable markets for all it can
produce.
The yearly exportable surplus OF the
EominiOns grain and foodstuffs should
go far toward insuring most favorable
trade balances for the future. For the
reconstruction work in Europe her raw
materials and their products must also
be In demand. Every effort must be
made to develop and expand her export
trade in manufactured articles as well
as in the immediate products OF her
fields, forests and mines. The more
highly finished the commodity the greater
the price which II will bring to the Do
minion. Her policy should be directed
to insurng, so far as practicable. the
completion within Canada, in Canadian
shops and mills Of manufactured proc
esses, in order that she may obtain the
benefit of the greater value OF finished
products as compared with that OF raw
materials or partly manufactured ar
ticles.
No doubt she will be subject In this
TO the keenest international competition,
and to succeed she shall require to avail
herself of every assistance which can be
legltimately afforded by the Government
in obtaining information respecting and
access to foreign markets as we'll as
TRANSPORTATION and financial facilities
One most important asset which she
possesses as n result OF the war is the
increased capability OF industrial pro-
duction, which was turned during the
war TO such remarkable purpose in the
manufacture Of munitions and other ma
terials This higher capability among
all classes should prove of the greatest
value in enabling her to deal with her
after war problems and burdens

will depend upon an increase in produc-
ton OF natural and manufactured COM
modities and to economic individually
so as to bring about each year substan-
tial increase in domestic wealth and
savings and a more favorable balance
in international trade. In other words,
the motto for the future, as it was for
the war. must be Produce and save"
To greatly increase production Can
ada needs more population. and particu-
larly that class which will engage In
basic industries Immigration Is there
fore OF prime Importance. Canada must
fill up her vacant cultivable lands. In
the past she has not been sufficiently Sc
lective in her immigration. She must
so amend her laws as to insure that the
destinies OF the country will always be
controlled by those who may be de-
pended upon as loyal and patriotic citi-
zens of Canada. ready at all times to
take up arms In her defence no matter
from what source aggression may come.
