GENERAL I XFRUDrCTIOX

This report, which covers the \ear ending 31st Alarc-h. 1947, shows the
De|)artment e.\i)enciiture at a conii)arati\el\" hiyh le\eL Expenditure is more
than double that of the fiscal \"ear ending in 1939.

Following the otitbreak of war the Department made every effort to improve
the qualit\' of service rendered. Progress in this connection was, of course,
dependent upon av^ailable man power, equipment and supplies. Due to sharph"
rising costs absorbing an increasing proportion of our financial resources, progress
was equalh" dej)endent upon a\-ailable funds.

In the ])re-war period the cost of maintaining a seasonal fire ranger was
four hundred dollars. The present cost is seven hundred dollars for ranger labour
of similar qualit\-. Ranger labour of a qualit>' satisfactor\- for Forest Ranger
School training requires double the ftmds expended on ranger labour in the pre-
war period. With equipment and operating supplies, together with wages of other
personnel requiring sharph' increased exj^enditure, a substantial drain is placed
ui)on funds proxided in the post-war period for expansion of our services.

Greater emphasis [placed on careful management of resources has offset
in no small degree, shrinkage in the purchasing value of the dollar. Additional
funds placed at our disposal have made up the remaining shrinkage in value,
permitted betterment in qualit\- of service rendered and some expansion in
service. I'urtlier expansion in the management of the natural resources of the
Province entrusted to this I)ei)artment, is in no small part dejiendent upon
increased funds a\-ailable for this j)uri:)ose.

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 194^

UI\ ISION OF ACCOUNTS

General

As of loth April. 194(5, the Minister of Lands and Forests was charged with
the adminstration of the former Department of C^ame and Fisheries, which
became the Fish and Wildhfe Di\ision of the Department of Lands and Forests.
For accounting purposes all receipts and expenditures of the former Department
of Game and Fisheries are included under the Fish and Wildlife Division from
1st April. 1946, and a separate accounting made for this new Division.

A. Department of Lands and Forests (other than Fish and Wildlife
Division)

The financial report sets out a substantial increase — SI, 862, 412. — in expendi-
tures appropriation of the Department as compared with the prexious year.
This increased appropriation was required for —

(1) Air Service PIquipment.

(2) Construction of Ranger School at Dorset.

(3) Expansion in held work of the Reforestation, Forest Research and Timber
Management Divisions.

This increased expenditure was partly olTset by an increase in cash receipts —
sl,ool,o()0. — as compared with the pre\ious year. Revenue for the year was the
highest in the history of the Department with most sources of revenue showing
improvement, particularly receipts from sale of Crown timber. This result was
due to an increase in available woods labour following the close of hostilities,
and a sharp upswing in tourist trade throughout the Pro\ince.

Following the policy of obtaining the closest possible co-operation between
Field and Main Offices, officers of this Division made the following field inspec-
tions, for purposes of instruction of Field Officers and inspection of work pro-
grams— and Pro\incial Land Tax Courts of Revision :

(a) Reforestation Field Offices: Angus, Midhurst, St. Williams.

ib) District Offices: Algonquin Park, Chapleau, Cochrane, Gait. Fort Frances,
Geraldton, Gogama. Kapuskasing, Kempt\ille, Kenora, Lindsay. North Bay,
Parry Sound, Port Arthur. Sault Sie. Marie, .Sioux Lookout, Sudbury, Tweed.

{c) Other Field Offices: Ottawa, Pembroke, Ranger School (Dorset).

{d) Sundry: Bracebridge. Lillle Current, Haile\bur\-.

REPORT OF THE No. 3

B. Fish and Wildlife Division — Formerly the Department of (^ame
AND Fisheries

Receipts and Disl:)ursements for the year are shown separately in Schedule
G, Page 24.

A substantial increase — 8449,313.09 — in the expenditure appropriation for
the year, as compared with the previous year, was required. This increased
appropriation was required for

(1) Enforcement of the Game and Fisheries Act.

(2) Hatcheries — Operation and maintenance.

(3) Erecting; buildings; Purchase of Land, Buildings and Eciuipment.

The increase in expenditure was more than offset by an increase in cash
receipts — 8597.034.99 — as compared with the pre\'ious year. Re\"enue for the
year was the highest in history, with most sources of rex'enue showing impro\'e-
ment, particularly receipts from the sale of Hunting and Angling Licences.
This was due to a sharp upswing in tourist trade throughout the Pro\'ince.

DP:PARTMENT of lands and forests for 1947

DIMSION of air service

As tlie tire hazard in the summer of 1946 was moderate, the Air Serxice
was not oxertaxed in its forest tire detection and suppression duties.

The Department operated from ti\e winter stations; Smoke Lake (Algonciuin
Park), E\a Lake (Quetico Park), Geraldton, Gogama and Sioux Lookout.
The flying- was largely in connection with general forestry administration,
tish and wildlife, poaching, and emergency sickness and accident cases.

Equipmoit

Four new Norseman aircraft were purchased.

The Department submitted specitications to the De Haxiliand Aircraft
Company of Canada for the building of a semi-transport type of plane. Company
engineers examined the specifications, and reports have been encouraging.

Maintenance and Improvements

Construction of an addition to the main hangar at Sault Ste. Marie has l)een
undertaken by the Department of Public Works to proxide storage for approxi-
mately tiftv aircraft.

Co-operation icith the Royal Commission on Forestry, and other Covernment Depart-
ments.

Assistance was accorded Dominion CoNernment entomologists in tlieir
forest insect infestation surveys. The agreement effected the prexious \'ear with
the Department of Health was extended to include the Proxincial Police. Co-
operation was continued with other Departments of the Ontario Cioxernment in
supplying their flxing needs, as required.

In addition the Air Service supplied 272 hours of fl\-ing to the Ro\al Com-
mission on Forestry, which greatly expedited its work.

Accidents

It is a great j)lcasurc to icporl that there were no serious accidents to any
ot the .\ir -Serxice personnel during the xear.

A FKIKNULY WHITE-TAILED DEEU.

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 35

DIMSIOX OF FISH AXD WILDLIFE

This is the first report published since the incorporation of the Department
of Game and Fisheries into the Department of Lands and Forests as the Division
of Fish and W'ildHfe.

The ameilgamation of the two Departments was conceixed as a moxe to
bring all the renewable natural resources of the Province under one administra-
tion, and the process of transfer was begun in May, 1946. B>- July, 1946. the
move was complete, and Dr. W. J. K. Harkness was selected as chief of the
newh' formed Di\'ision.

Dr. Harkness organized the Division into four separate sections, as follows:

1. Enforcement: Under the supervision of Mr. J. F. Farrington. The
Enforcement Section is responsible for the proper enforcement of the Game and
Fisheries Act and Regulations, has custod>" of all seized materials, and the sale
thereof.

2. Wildlife: Dr. C. H. D. Clarke, Supervisor of this Section, has under
his control the administration of the game resources of the Province, the pa\ nKiit
of wolf and bear bounties, and the administration of the fur resources, both wild
and ranch raised.

."L Game Fish: Mr. H. H. MacKa\ is responsible for the proper admini-
stration and maintenance of the angling fishery, production of fish by provincial
hatcheries, and such scientific surveys and projects as are necessary to ensure
proper placing of hatcher>- raised fish.

4. Commercial Fish: Mr. W. H. R. Werner is responsible for the admini-
stration of the commercial fishing resources of the Province, including issue of
licences and collection of statistical data concerning catches.

The amalgamation of the two Lepartments was extended into the field,
all game and fisheries overseers and inspectors being taken into the forest district
organization. In each District a Fish and Wildlife Six-cialist was appointed,
to whom all Overseers in the District are responsible. This specialist, in most
cases a senior Overseer, is himself res[)onsible to the District l-'orester. ''

The staff of the Fish and Wildlife Division works in close cooperation with
many professional associations and sporting associations. Representatives
attend meetings of the Ontario Federation of Commercial Fishermen, the Ontario
Fur Breeders' Association, and many fish and game protective associations
throughout the Province.

Grants were given to the two associations mentioned above, and also the
Niagara District Pheasant Breeders' Association, Mrs. E. L. Marsh, Mr. E. T.
Jones, and the Jack Miner Migratory Birds Foundation.

Many members of the Head Office staff are closely connected with the
Ontario Research Commission, and sit on many of the committees of that
organization.

In April, a joint meeting of Fish and Wildlife Technical Personnel of Ontario
and New York State was held in Toronto under the sponsorship of the former
Department of Game and Fisheries.

In December of 1946, a course was organized at the recently opened Forest
Ranger School at Dorset, for the instruction of Fish and Wildlife Specialists and
Overseers in the identification and ecology of the principal species of fish, birds
and mammals of the Province. This course extended for two weeks and the
instruction received was of considerable value. In addition, an opportunity
was presented for the instructing staff, drawn from the LTniversity of Toronto,
the Royal Ontario Museum of Zoology and Head Office, to meet and talk to
the field staff.

At the annual meeting of the Department of Lands and Forests, January
21st, 1947, Mr. Lloyd W. Swift, Chief of the Division of Wildlife Management,
Ihiited States Forest Service, addressed the staff of the Department.

Reports are presented under the headings of the four sections as outlined
above.

Enforcement

On April 1st, 1946, Game and Fisheries Enforcement officers in Ontario
numbered 136.

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947

These ofificers were responsible for enforcement throughout the Province
of provisions of the Game and Fisheries Act and Regulations, the F'isheries Act
(Canada), the Special Fishery- Regulations for the Province of Ontario, and the
Migratory Birds Convention Act and Regulations.

Previous to the amalgamation of the Department of Game and Fisheries
with the Department of Lands and Forests, these enforcement officers had been
subject to direct administration from headquarters at Toronto, though in that
portion of the Province lying north and west of the French and Mattawa Rivers
and Lake Nipissing, they were under the immediate supervision of district
superintendents, viz: —

(a) at North Bay,—

in the Districts of Nipissing (north of the Mattawa River and Lake
Nipissing), Timiskaming, Cochrane, Sudbury and Algoma; and

(b) at Fort William, —

in the Districts of Thunder Ba\ , Fort Frances and Kenora.

In the territory south of the French and Mattawa Rivers and Lake Nipissing
there were 74 officers; in the territor\' under supervision through the North Ba>
office there were 35 officers; and in the territory under supervision through the
Fort William office there were 17 officers.

As of March 31, 1947, there were 177 officers in the enforcement service of
the Fish and Wildlife Division, — 92 in Southern Ontario, 52 in the districts
formerly supervised through the North Ba>- office, and 33 in the districts formerly
supervised through the Fort William office. In general terms. Southern Ontario
comprises the following forestry districts, viz: Algonquin, Lake Erie, Lake Huron,
Lake Simcoe, Parry Sound, Quinte, Rideau and Trent. The area formerly
supervised through the North Bay office comprises the following forestry Dis-
tricts, viz: Chapleau, Cochrane, Gogama, Kapuskasing, North Bay, Sault Ste.
Marie and Sudbur>'. The area formerly supervised through the Fort William
office comprises the following forestry Districts, viz: Fort Frances, Geraldton,
Kenora, Port Arthur and Siou.x Lookout.

The Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers assigned to each District are
under the immediate jurisdiction of the District Forester in charge. There is
attached to the office of each District Forester a Fish and Wildlife Specialist,
whose principal responsibility is to advise enforcement officers in the field and to
co-operate in the supervision of the services of these enforcement officers.

Border patrols were maintained during the summer months at various ports
of entry from the United States into Ontario, including Fort Frances, Pigeon
River, Sault Ste. Marie, Sarnia, Windsor, Fort Erie, Niagara Falls, the Thousand
Island Bridge at Ivy Lea, Prescott and Cornwall. The principal service of the
officers engaged in these patrols was to advise American visitors on their arrival
in Ontario of the requirements of the Special Fishery Regulations and to check
the exportation of fish by such non-resident anglers on their departure from the
Province.

During the oi)en season for deer in the fall, active road patrols were main-
tained in several Districts and particularh' in those areas in which the him ting
of deer was intensive, with a view to contacting hunters returning from their
hunting exix-ditions and checking on the animals whlc-h had been taken.

Resulting from the operation of these patrols, much \aluai)k' intormation
accrued io this Division, and there is every reason to believe that the activities
of the officers who undertook these patrols were responsible for a more rigid
compliance with the provisions of oiu' legislation and regulations I)\- those par-
ticipating in the recreation derived from angling and hunting.

38 REPORT OF THE No. 3

In their work of enforcement, officers of the Department in their respective
patrol areas, derived an appreciable degree of assistance from the co-operation
of those who held appointments as Deputy Game Wardens. These Deputy
Game ^^'arden appointments are of an honorary nature and are provided, on
application, to sportsmen and conservationists who are interested in the pro-
tection of our fish and wildlife resources. During the year under review, such
appointments were provided to more than thirteen hundred applicants. A large
percentage of these appointments were made on the, recommendation of the
respective municipal councils of the various townships established as regulated
game preserve areas. While these appointments were province-wide in their
scope, it is quite probable that those so appointed in regulated townships confined
their assistance to services within the township, along the lines of securing
compliance by hunters with provisions of the regulations which governed.

A study of the records reveals the seizure of equipment, as well as fish anfl
game taken illegalh", in 2,166 cases.

Resulting from patrols and investigation, charges were laid against violators
in a total of 2,129 cases in which infractions of provisions of the Game and
Fisheries Act and Regulations, the Special Fishery Regulations for Ontario and
the Migratory Birds Convention Act and Regulations which had been witnessed
or disclosed upon investigation.

In 2,040 of these court actions, convictions were registered b\' the xarious
Magistrates before whom the respective charges were heard; in 85 cases the
charges were dismissed for lack of sufficient substantiating evidence; and in the
4 remaining cases the charges were, for various reasons, withdrawn b\' the
officers who had been responsible for laying the same.

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 41

A review of these 2,129 cases which were prosecuted reveals the following
information which may presumably be of further interest:

Fish and Wildlife Overseers laid the charges in 2,068 instances; convictions
were registered in 1,979 of these, 1,718 of which were subsequent to seizure of
equipment on observance of infractions, and 261 following investigation of
information which disclosed infractions. The charges laid by Overseers in 85
cases, 67 following seizures and 18 following investigation, were dismissed; and
in the remaining 4 cases, all following seizures, the charges were withdrawn.

Pro\incial Police Constables were responsible for the laying of charges in
26 cases, in all of which this action followed seizures, and in all these cases con-
victions were registered.

Joint action by Overseers, Deputy Game Wardens, Provincial Police
Constables and/or Alunicipal Police Constables was subsequently followed by
the laying of information in 35 cases, all of which were successfully prosecuted
and convictions recorded. The charges in 29 of these cases were as a result of,
and subsequent to, seizures and the observance of violations, while in the remain-
ing 6 cases the informations were laid following the investigation of evidence
of infractions.

Wildlife Management

Genend

The over-all picture with respect to wildlife management in Ontario during
the hrst warless year is not entirely satisfactory. Wartime prosperity had
resulted in a steady increase of hunting pressure, despite the absence of a large
proportion of able-bodied men in military service, the severe shortage of sporting
goods, especially ammunition, and the drastic gasoline rationing. The present
year finds all restrictions removed, our fighting men all home and absorbed into
civilian occupations, and a general high level of wages and almost complete
employment. Similar conditions prevail in the United States. The result is an
intensit\' of hunting pressure, both from residents and non-residents, such as
our Province has never before known.

Coupled with increased hunting, there are a number of factors at work
that are inimical to wildlife. In farm lands, game has alwa\s been dependent
on patches of weeds and brush for food and cover, especially such species as
European Hare, Pheasant and Hungarian Partridge that do not frequent wood-
lots. These patches have always been a blight on the landscape from the point
of view of clean farming, but, fortunateh' for the game, realh- energetic farmers
have not been too numerous. We now live in the age of chemical weed and
brush killers, and what was once wished for in the way of clean farming, now
becomes {)ossible. We also have rural engineers keeping open roads that were
formerly allowed to drift in winter, and each jjatch of weeds and brush on the
roadside is a potential snowdrift. ObviousK-, wildlife management can never
exist at cross-purposes with scientific agriculture. If the old food and shelter
patches should go, then go the\- must, but it becomes our task to develop tech-
niques for providing food and shelter that will not be obji'ctionable.

Of a similar nature are local increases of pasture land, con\'ersion of waste
land into tobacco farms, and penetration of the vital deer winter range by
farming which ma>' superficiall\- leave the country practically imaltered, because
miles of barren hills still exist, while actualK' clearing the swamps which were
the sole support in winter of deer ranging the whole area in hunting season.
They are offset b>- some gains, chiefl\- in the matter of reforestation, and in the
management of woodlots but wildlife management still remains largely a matter
of executive orders rather than an established [lart of our land use, though we
know that wildlife is a product of the land, not of regulations.

42 REPORT OF THE No. 3

Many of our important wildlife species are at the crossroads toda>", with a
natural tendency- to sHde into an easy downgrade leading to oblivion — part of
the famous road paved with good intentions. The condition of our waterfowl
is alarming. The propagation of exotic species can easily be merely a sink hole
for public and private funds unless there is food and cover for the birds in the
area in which they are released, and unless they are protected at release from
the shock of changing their environment. Our moose have shown a distinct
tendency to go downhill. Our caribou have nearh" vanished. Xow the>' are
hanging on and could reasonably be headed upward if we give them a little help.
Beaver are abundant, and will sta\' that way if we give them help. Other fine
fur bearers are scarce, but where trappers can get a good revenue from beaver
the other species can spread out from the game preserves without being perse-
cuted to extinction.

Migratory Birds

The regulations respecting migratory- birds are established l)\ federal
authorit\- under the Migratory Birds Convention Act. There is no doubt that
the situation of our ducks and geese is more alarming than it has been since 1936.
The\" have shown a sharp decline for the second year in succession, and the
report of the mid-winter inventory organized by the United States Fish and
Wildlife Service shows a critical condition. Checks of hunters' bags of ducks
are reported to have shown a shortage of young birds, and this is reflected also
in reports of goose hunters visiting James Bay. For the first time the mid-
winter duck count was extended to the entire winter range of ducks and our
officers participated by counting ducks on Ontario open waters during the
census period.

Woodcock seem to be holding their numbers. A series of counts to check
the abundance of this species on Ontario nesting grounds was commenced.

Upland Game (Native)

The various species of grouse now show a general increase, after having
been at the bottom of their natural cycle. In a few areas the increase is well
enough advanced that the birds can no longer be called scarce, while in others
the increase has still not begun. A fairh" general increase in snowshoe rabbits
is also reported. Cottontail rabbits remain in normal numbers.

It has been drawn to our attention that our onh' population of pinnated
grouse, on Manitoulin Island, has been spreading recenth. This fact was
given publicit\" in the Department's magazine "S\lva" with a view to aiding
in protection, so that the colony of these birds on the island could be built up
and perhaps used for propagation.

Fur-Bearing Animals

Nearly all fur-bearing animals vary in numbers according to the progress
of natural cycles. A few, notably the beaver, remain constant excepting as
their numbers are controlled by trapping. The most notable population change
is a decrease of mink, which are becoming scarce. Muskrat are also showing
signs of decline, although in man\- of our best areas the population is still high.
Weasel and raccoon are reported to be decreasing locally and although skunks
are still numerous they have fallen off to some extent. In some of these low-
value furs, the volume of trade gives little indication of populations. Fox
remains abundant. In a few areas there are stocks of fisher and marten, but
both of these species, and the lynx as well, are so scarce that natural cycles fail
to develop normally. The wolverine is practically extinct, a fact which ma>-
ultimateh- be regretted, as its fur possesses special properties which are making
it valuable. As a predator the species was hardh- more destructive than other

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947

fur-bearers and its depredations on trap-lines were probabh" less serious than
those of the wolf. Its near-extermination is evidence against any great difficult}'
of capture.

Trap-line Management

A careful stud}' is now being made of the possibility' of imj)roving the basis
of trap-line management in Ontario.

Introduced Wildlife

The ring-necked pheasant was at a low ebb in southern Ontario in tiie
spring of 1946 after a series of adverse seasons. A study of the wild hatch
showed large and healthy broods, but the number of broods was extremeh'
small. As the qualit}" of the shoot is determined by the wild stock it was
obviously predestined to be poor. Isolated colonies of Hungarian Partridge
survive, after unfavourable seasons, over a wide area. The\' are reasonabh"
nimierous in the eastern tip of the Province. European hares are in normal
numbers, and have practically stopped spreading.

Wildlife Propagation

Pheasants were raised under contract at the Department's farms at Norman-
dale and Codrington. In addition, deficiencies in our supply of birds were
made up b\' purchase from private breeders.

A complete review of the history of the Ring-necked Pheasant in Ontario
made during the year revealed that, in areas where the snowfall totalled over
50 inches, pheasants were never established in shootable numbers unless there
was some local condition related to agricultural practice which provides com-
pensating food and shelter in winter. Where the snowfall is greater than 70
inches it is not worth while trying pheasants at all.

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

The shooting of migratory game birds earHer than one-half hour before
sunrise or later than one-half hour after sunset is prohibited.

The penalt\' for violation of the migratory bird laws is a fine of not more
than three hundred dollars and not less than ten dollars, or imprisonment for a
term not exceeding six months, or both fine and imprisonment.

Wildlife Surveys —

A study of various census methods with respect to the ring-necked pheasant,
carried out by the Research Division in southern Ontario. This was extended b\' the
Fish and Wildlife Division to include a study of the history of the pheasant in
Ontario in relation to various factors affecting its survival, done by Head Office
staff, and a field check of the birds through the pre-hunting season, done b\-
one-of the officers who had taken part in pheasant distribution during the sum-
mer. The results have already- been mentioned. A study of cormorant colonies
on Georgian Bay was also carried out. A special pre-season and hunting season
check of pheasant numbers was also made on Pelee Island in order to arrive
at a formula for estimating the pheasant population there.

Wildlife Harvest—

As a means of checking the success attending hunting in Ontario, a card
for recording hunting effort and bag, known as the "Game Bag Census Card"
was printed and distributed to hunters.

In addition to these cards we had checks of deer hunters on the high\\a>
and various reports of game shipped and exported.

During the hunting season of 1946 the Canadian Pacific Express Company-
reported handling over its lines in Ontario 689 deer, 41 moose and 41 bear.

Through the ports of Rain\' River, Fort Frances and Rainier the following
were exported: moose, 200; deer, 3002; caribou, 2; bear, 141; geese, 8; ducks,
2,493. Some of this game was taken outside Ontario, e.g. the caribou.

A check by overseers at the port of Windsor on November 16 (squirrel
season) and November 23 showed the following exports of game:

It is gcncralK' felt that the border area is over-hunted because of its prox-
iniit\- to population centres in the United States and. for that reason, there is
strong local objection to non-resident hunters. This is directed impartialh'
against the entire non-resident group.

The Gra\enhurst road check showed llu' following for the period November
7th to November 21st. It is compared with a check from .\o\-ember 6th to
November 19th, 1941.

W elves

At Pelee Island, a complete count was made of the pheasants killed during
I he open season, and b\" means of certain additional counts, the following figures
were ascertained concerning pheasants on Pelee Island:

Number of hens before open season 5, 160

Number of cocks before open season 5,263

Number of cocks killed 4,615

Number of hens (illegally) killed 300

Number of hens after the open season 4,860

Number of cocks after the open season 648

All of these figures except the actual kill should be rounded off, but it ma>'
be taken that there were at least 10,000 birds on the island before the shoot,
and at least 4,000 hens and 600 cocks left after the shoot.

The Game Bag Census Cards indicated that, by those reporting in 1946,
there were 0.7 deer killed per hunter, and the number of deer killed per hunter-
da\- was 0.09. The area covered was much larger than that funnelled through
the road block aiul included portions where deer were ver\- abundant.

Onh' 8% of the hunters reporting were hunting ducks, and some of these
ma\' have hunted onh' incidentalh. Only 5% as much time was spent on

duck-hunting as on deer hunting, l)\ hunters reporting.

Wildlife Library

A start was made on the assembling of a librarx' on wildlift- management.
Contributions and exchanges will be welcomed.

Wildlife Research

Close co-operation was maintained with wildlitc- rc-starch p.u'ties Irom the
Research l)i\ision.

Technical Personnel

At present there is a serious lack in Ontario of men trained in wildlife
management. A few service men have shown an interest in the subject and are
taking up studies at universities which will give them basic knowledge, but the\-
will not be available for emi)loyment for se\eral \ears, during which time essential
work is certain to be delaved.

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

Fur Farming

The decided slump in the raw fur market during 1946 was responsible for
mink ranchers receiving up to 25% less for their furs than the\- received last
year. The demand for long hair furs, principally fox, declined to such an extent
that auction houses reported only 10 to 20% clearances and in some cases, the
prices offered were so low that the entire offering of fox was withdrawn. Many
fox ranchers realized prices equal only to production costs.

This condition, together with the rising costs of feed, building materials
and labour has harassed the fur farmer, and caution in the purchase of breeding
stock and production is the keynote for the coming Near.

During the calendar >ear 1946, 1,502 Fur Farmers' licences were issued,
1.187 being renewals of previous licences and 315 for newh' established fur farms.

Mink and fox continued to be the principal species propagated on ranches
and Departmental records show that during the fiscal year 1946-47 fur farmers
disposed of their production of these species in the following manner: —

Wolf Bounty

At the 1946 session of the Ontario Legislature. The Wolf Bount\- Act and
The Wolf Bount\- Amendment Act, 1941, were repealed, and The \\'olf and Bear
Bount\' Act, 1946 was enacted.

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947

This Act authorizetl the payment of §25. OU as boimtx" on a timber or brush
wolf three months of age or over and $5.00 as bount>' on a timber or brush wolf
under the age of three months.

It will be noted from the following comparative table that more woKes
were taken during this last fiscal year than in any year showm, and it is interesting
to note the marked increase in the number of brush wolves taken. The total
number of wolves taken is unusually large and may indicate that the natural
peak in population has been reached, and will probabK' recede during the next
few \ears.

A total of 1,812 applications for bounty on 2,622 wolves and 42 pups were-
submitted. However, bounty was allowed on 2,609 wolves and 38 pups with
13 applications concerninti 13 woKx's and 4 ]jtips being refused for \-arious reasons.

Bear Bounty

The Order-in-Counc-il dated August 19th, 1942, which authorized the pa\-
ment of Bear Bount\" was superceded b\- the enactment of The Wolf and Bear
Bounty Act, 1946.

The conditions on which b()iuU\" is paid under this Act however, are essen-
tially the same. A $10.00 bount>' is paid on any bear 12 months of age or over
and S5.00 on any bear under 12 months of age, which has been killed between
April 15th and November 30th in Townships located in certain Counties and
Districts and of which 25% of the total area is devoted to agriculture. The
Act further specifies that the bear must be killed in defence or preservation of
live stock or property", by a bona fide resident of the Township.

The following table indicates the number of bears and cubs killed in each
of the Counties and Districts on which applications for bounty have been received
during the fiscal year ending March 31, 1947. Some 816 applications on 959
bears and 73 cubs were submitted. Of these, bount\^ was paid on 937 bears
and 73 cubs and 13 claims concerning 22 bear were refused.

56 REPORT OP^ THE No. 3

Game Fish

During the fiscal year ending March 31, 1947, twenty-seven Hatcheries
and Rearing Stations were operated successfully. No new plants or additions
were established during the course of the year.

For the culture of game fish, the development of rearing stations or a com-
bination of hatcheries and rearing stations instead of a hatchery only, is in
keeping with the progressive developments in this field. A hatcher}- may be
defined as a building in which is housed all the necessary equipment for hatching
and rearing of fish to the fry or advanced fingerling stages. A rearing station
is an extension of this arrangement, that is, large tanks, raceways or ponds
being provided for accommodating fish from the fingerling to yearling or adult
stages.

Of the twent\'-seven stations, eleven are provided with hatcheries only,
three with a combination of hatcheries and ponds, eight with a combination of
hatcheries, racewa\s and ponds. Speckled trout are cultured at fourteen
stations, rainbow trout at two, brown trout at six, Kamloops trout at one, lake
trout at ten, largemouth bass at one, smallmouth bass at seven, maskinonge at
one, perch at one, yellow pickerel at ele\en, whitefish at nine, hiTring at two
and minnows at one.

There arc facilities at three rearing stations for retaining a selective stock
of adult speckled trout for breeding purposes. These are maintained at Dorion,
Sault Ste. Marie and Hills Lake Hatcheries. A breeding stock of brown, rainbow
and Kamloops trout are provided for at one other station, namely, Xormandale.

Practicallx all the speckled trout, brown trout and Kamloops trout dis-
tributed to suitable and publich" fished waters are \earlings or older fish. Black
bass, maskinonge, rainbow trout and lake trout are, generalh' speaking, dis-
tributed in the fr\- or fingerling stages. The raising of lake trout to the yearling
stage has been developed successfully at certain stations and when additional
pond space is available, expansion of the culture of lake trout in this direction
ma\' be undertaken. Whitefish, herring, perch, \ellow pickerel and blue jjickerel
are all distributed in the fry stage.

The Culture and Distribution of Fish

l-'ish culture ma>- be defined as any procedure for increasing the stock of fish.
One of the procedures used extensively in Ontario is the planting of hatchery
raised fish. In the majorit}' of cases, this procedure is a supplement and not a
substitute for nature's means of replenishment.

A detailed account of the fish distribution from our twent\-seven stations
b\" county or district, species, age class and numbers planted is given in appendices
one to five inclusive. In the following paragraphs, comparison of the \ear's
distribution with that of the previous year, and other pertinent data are given.
The total output of all species for the year was practically the same as in 1945.

Speckled Trout

As in previous years, the objective was the distribution of 3,000,000 speckled
trout yearlings, but the figures were somewhat lower, nameh, 2,760,780. Due
to congestion at two or three of our stations it was necessary- to plant about
85,000 fingerlings. As our stock of breeders was quite good, we were able to

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947

make a distribution of doubk- that of tlie previous \ear. The plantings of this
species b\' age group is as follows:

50,000 fry
84,730 tingcriings
2.760,780 yearlings
8,656 adults

Broivn Trout

The plantings of brown trout \earlings were good, with a total of 268,940
being distribtited. This was an increase of 20% over the previous year's distri-
bution. In addition, we had a surplus of fingerlings which we could not hold
for another \ear, and these made a distribution of 133.025. Taken together,
the figures for this distribution were excellent, considering the number of ponds
which we have available for the raising of brown trout.

Rainboii' Trout

(a) Steelhead. It is only in the larger rixers and lakes that rainbow trout
are normalK' found except in their immature stage. A river such as the Xotta-
wasaga is a good example in which rainbows remain throughout the >"ear. The\'
survive chiefly in the larger lakes such as Lake Simcoe and the Great Lakes.
Distribution this \'ear was mainh' confined to the larger rivers flowing into the
Georgian Ba\ .

(b) Kamloops. This species was introduced to a number of carefulh"
selected lakes in Ontario, and the Kamloops in these lakes are showing excellent
results during the last few years. Up to now, the practice has been to distribute
this species in the yearling stage, but this year there was a distribution of 4,850
as adults, which was an excellent contribution to the culture of this species in
Ontario.

Lake Trout

For the last several \ears there has been a decline in the i)ro(luction in the
spawn collection of this species. Steps are now being taken by the Department
to ascertain the fact responsible for the decline, with a view to providing a
remedy. The distribution in 1946 shows a sharp drop over that recorded in
1945. As stated above, this is wholh- due to the fact that our hatcheries are
not getting the spawn in such large numbers as previously. The distribution
of 28,045 yearlings was a considerable decline over the previous year as the
hatcheries were not able to retain as many fingerlings from the previous \ear
as had been done formerK-.

White fish

I he s])awn collection of this species was considerablx down trom the j)revious
year. 'I'his gives the reason for the slight dt'cline in the plantings, as shown
in the tables.

Herring

In comparison with the last few >ears, the distribution of herring .was realK'
excellent. There was a total planting of 69,674,000. This large increase was
wholly due to a very good run of herring in the spawning season, together with a
week of good weather, when our sj)awn lakers can work at their best.

Yelloii' Pickerel

There was a ])lanting of 142,385,000 fr\ this \eai- which was a decline of
about 20% from the i)re\ious year. The drop in the distribution was accounted
for soleK" from the fact that the fish could not i)e captured in large enough
quantities during the spawning season. The chief spawn taking areas where

58 REPORT OF THE No. 3

decrease in spawn occurred were Hay Bay in the Bay of Quinte, Echo Lake in
Algoma, Whitefish Falls in the North Channel. All our other spawning grounds
were as good or even better than in previous years.

Small-mouth Bass

The number of bass fry planted was approximately 14% less than planted
in the previous >'ear. The production of fingerlings was also down, but only
10% from last >ear.

Large-mouth Bass

There was an increase of 90% in the output of this species over last year.
This was very gratifying as there is only one small pond available for this work
at our Mount Pleasant Hatchery. Instead of planting some of these fish as fr\-
we were able to hold over our stock until the\' were good sized fingerlings.

Perch

The take of perch spawn in Lake Erie is subject to wide variation. This
spawn is collected mainly from the region off Kingsville. This year we had a
good spawn collection and we were able to make a 70% increase in our fr\-
distribution. The total fry planted was 20,450,000.

Maski?ionge

The plantings of this species were as follows:

1,150,000 fry

6,875 fingerlings

There was a drop of 43% in the number of fr\- produced, but this was nujre
than offset by the record production of fingerlings. The fingerling production
was an all time record from our Deer Lake Hatcher\'. There is reason to believe
that these figures will be sustained, or even increased, as greater facilities are
being given the hatcher>".

Atlantic Salmon

There was a distribution this year of more than double that made in the
previous year. All the fish planted were fingerlings of good size. A more
detailed report on Atlantic Salmon will be found under the heading "Biological
Surveys".

Closed Waters

In addition to the waters already closed for the natural production and
propagation of fish, the following were closed during the period April 1, 1946
to March 31, 1947.

Adam Lake, located in unorganized territor\-, north of Cla\' Lake and
l)etween Fluke Lake and Segise Lake, District of Kenora.

Moose Lake located in unorganized territory- west of the Township of
Smellie, District of Kenora.

Biological Surveys

The Game Fish Section expanded their work, especialh' in respect of bio-
logical surve\s. Surv'e>s were conducted on a great man\' lakes and streams
to obtain data basic to the fish management plan. This included four lakes in
Frontenac County, one in each of Lennox and Addington and Hastings Counties,
three in Xipissing District, fi\'e in Parr\- Sound District and several minor waters.

A project was undertaken to assess the value of planting streams in Bruce
County with hatchery raised speckled trout. The trout were planted as yearlings
in parts of the S\denham River, Eugenia Hydro Pond and Williams Lake, and
were marked by removal of the adipose fin. A careful check on all of the fish
taken from these waters is being obtained b>- means of the creel census. The
experiment is being continued.

An exjx'riment begun in 1945, was continued at Round Lake, Renfrew
County, to determine the eft'ect of removal of coarse fish in quantity, from a lake.
The lake was heavih- fished b>- means of trap and hoop nets, the coarse fish
removed and the game fish returned to the lake. This experiment is continuing.

Creel census sur\-e\'s and assessment of waters was continued in Sibky
Provincial Park.

Preliminar\- in\-estigations were begun to obtain information concerning
the life history and possible means of control of the Sea Lampre\-. Deterioration
of the lake trout fisher\- of the Great Lakes, particularly in Lake Huron and
Georgian Bay, is attributed to the abundance of this fish parasite. This most
important work was begun in the waters of Lake Huron adjacent to Bruce
Count}', and is cf)ntinuing.

An extensi\-e siu'vex' of lakes in which Kamlocjps Irout ha\e been introduced
was undertaken. These waters included Lake Bernard and Poole Lake, Parr\-
Sound District, Echo Lake, Rill Lake, Clear Lake, Red Chalk Lake, Lake
Waseosa, Round Lake and Deep Lake, Muskoka District and Lake Timagami.
.\i|)issing District. .Assessment of fishing for this excellent game fish was made.
With the excejition of Lake Timagami, the Kamloops trout appears to have
become well established in ,ill of I he lakes noted and is proxiding fair to good
fishing.

Tin- .\tlantic Salmon experinuMit, which was begun in 1944 in Duffin's
Crick, Ontario Count}-, was continued. The exinriment is being conducted
for two reasons. First, an effort is being made to establish the Atlantic .Salmon
in Lake Ontario and its tributary streams, where it was formerh- abundant, and
second, an effort is being made tf) seciu'e an appraisal of the efficienc\- of restock-
ing streams with hatcher\' raised lish. As this is a long term in\-estigation, it is
too earl\ to draw conclusions, though it ma>" be stated that some of the fish
that were planted in 1944 ha\-e been recaptured, and are showing .satisfactory
growth. (ieni'ralK' si)eaking. the results are encouraging.

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 75

Commercial Fishing

Insofar as the ("omnicrcial Fisheries Section of the Division of Fish antl
W'ildhfe is concerned, the tisciil year ending March 31, 1947, was largeh'
devoted to reorganization, with a view to estabHshing more direct contact
with the fishermen themselves and thereb\' increasing the service rendered to
them, both individually and through their organizations. Particular attention
was given to matters concerning legislation and toward the securing of an adequate
statistical set-up to use as a basis for the development of a sound management
polic\".

The commercial fisheries maintained in our Xorthern Inland waters caught
and marketed o\er 14 percent of the total catch for Ontario in 1946. Since
most of this fishing is done in small inland lakes, it is obvious that commercial
fishing operations, unrestricted as to size of catch, could quite easih- result in
depletion of certain species. With this in mind, a system of budgeting the
catch of indi\-idual licences was instituted in the spring of 1947. Based on the
previous production records the catch was limited for certain species. This
ceiling on catch was placed on a level at which it was thought production could
be maintained b>' leaving sufficient stock in the lake. This limit was set on a
flexible basis and with a view to changing it from year to >ear. as conditions
warranted. The possibility of the level being raised at a future date, is as great
as that it will be lowered, or maintained at the level previously set.

At the time the Department of Game and Fisheries was taken over by the
Department of Lands and Forests and formed into what is now known as the
Di\-ision of Fish and Wildlife, it was decided to bring into being a new method
of obtaining statistical data regarding the commercial fishing industr\- of the
Province'. This new system would thus enable the Department to have on
hand a more detailed collection of data, which heretofore was not available.

Fp to the present time the only information obtainable is the data sub-
mitted b\" each holder of a commercial fishing licence at the end of each year.
These returns are totalled and made up into an Annual Report, as shown in the
two appendices under the headings "Equipment" and "Quantities of Fish Taken".
There is, however, no wa\' of obtaining from this Annual Report under the
heading "Quantities of Fish Taken" an\- information as to what month the fish
were taken, or from what area or district of a lake the fish were taken. There
is also no \\a\" of obtaining from this .Annual Report, under both the "Equipment"
and "Catch" heading, any information regarding the type of gear used to take
an\- particular species, or the amount of gear used to take an\- particular species.
This Annual Report, therefore, gives onl\- the total catch In- lake or area of each
species of fish taken that xear, which is of \alue in itself, but is not sufficient
for a further statistical anaKsis.

It was felt, therefore, that in order to properh- administer the commercial
fisheries, it was essential to have statistical data on hand that would show an
indication of the changes in the abundance of the commercial species. It was
essential that this data must, therefore, include a record, not onl\- of the quantities
of fish taken, but also of the e.xtent of the fishing operations that led to that
catch or, in other words, the effort that was put forth to obtain that catch.
The true condition of the fisheries, therefore, cannot be measured accurateh"
b>- statistics of catch alone but should be expressed in terms of production in
relation to fishing intensity', that is, "catch per unit of fishing effort".

With this in luind the Department created a new s\stem b\' which all
licensed fishermen were required to report their daih' fishing activities. I'nder
this s\'stem all comiuercial fishermen nnist submit at the end ol each month <i

REPORT OF THE No. 3

complete record of their dail\- fishing activities. This plan of reporting was
adopted from the monthly report system now in effect in the State of Michigan
and other states bordering the Great Lakes, where it has been enforced now for
some fifteen years with very satisfactory results. The monthl\- report includes
such required data on each da>-'s fishing activities as, the month in which the
fishing was done, the fishing locality (that is, lake and the section of that lake),
the kind and amount of gear fished and the catch in pounds of each species taken.

In order to be able to obtain data for individual areas or districts within a
lake, all of the Great Lakes have been divided into statistical districts, in such a
way so as to make the districts on the Ontario side of the Great Lakes comparable
to the similar districts on the United States side. Therefore, it is hoped that
data on the commercial fishing in the Great Lakes will be on a more uniform
basis, as many of the States bordering the Great Lakes, as well as the Province
of Ontario, have adopted this statistical system of collecting records. B\-
having our districts coinciding as near as possible with those on the United States
side of the Great Lakes, a more complete i)icture can be presented.

The reports are sorted according to the month, the district, and the type
of gear, and at the end of each year a complete statistical analxsis will be made
from these reports. This anahsis will make possible an estimation of the
annual fluctuations and the abundance of the different commercial species in
the various statistical districts, as these fluctuations are reflected in the "catch
per net". It is hoped, therefore, to have on hand, data for each of the com-
mercial species of fish in the Province, as to the quantity of fish taken, the
amount of gear used to take that catch, the month in which it was taken, and
the area of a district of a kike from where it was taken.

These monthly reports do not include an\' information such as the number
of men employed per licence, the amount of gear on hand and the value of same,
and with this in mind it has been decided to continue with the Annual Report,
as it will be used to obtain these facts and also to show the total catch of a lake
b>' species by year.

At first, the monthU' re]jorts were incomi)lete and in(li\i(lual rej)orts were
often fault}-. It is not felt that any reliable data will l)e obtained from the
reports of 1946 and 1947, as it will take some little time before the system is
properly functioning and all fishermen are reporting correcth' each month. It
is hoped that b>' the beginning of 1948 this system should be sufficiently estab-
lished to be able to make an anah-sis of the data obtained during the months
of 1948.

The overall picture of the commercial fisheries in Ontario in 1946, showed
a net decrease of 1,277,624 pounds as compared with 1945. This reduction in
catch was spread throughout the fishery in general and at the same time there
was an increase in the gear used. This would indicate that the fisheries through-
out the Province were even less productive than the statistics of catch alone
would indicate when comparison is made with 1945.

In 1946, Lake Erie produced over half the total catch for the whole Pro-
vince. The productive capacity of this lake is fairly stable, although there are,
of course, some years in which the catch drops to a low ebb and in other years,
reaches a peak. However, this catch in general tends to level off since the
reduction in numbers of one species, in an>- one year, usually is replaced by an
increased production of another or several other species in that year. It is
notable that although there was a decrease of 4,649,899 lbs. in the catch of blue
pickerel in Lake Erie, the net decrease in total catch for the lake was onl\-
24,233 lbs.

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947

Lake Superior and Lake Ontario are also maintaining a fairh- stable level,
despite the fact that the catch is down in each case this >ear. While these
lakes are not as productive as Lake Erie and they do not have as great a variet\'
of fish entering the catch, the fishing effort is not as intensive. The latter ma>-
account in part for the relative stabiiit>' of the total catch.

The fisheries in Lake Huron, Georgian Ba\" and North Channel are at a
\er>- low ebb at present, due to the fact that the lake trout and whitefish catches
have decreased tremendoush- during the past six years.

The total catch from northern inland waters was less in 1946 than in 1945,
whereas the total catch from southern inland waters (largeh' bullheads, carp
and other coarse fish) shows a slight increase.

Digging a fire line in Awrey Township

DEPARTMENT OE LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 81

DI\ ISION OF FOREST PROTECTION

FiKic AM) Hazard Conditions

The lire season was. on the whole, a fairK- moderate one. The number of
hres was abo\e the average, but the area burned over was relatively small. The
warm weather at the end of March created a fairh- high hazard in the eastern
part of the Province for a short period, but in general the weather was favourable
during April and May. There was a high hazard in the western part of the Pro-
\ince during the first part of June and in the Sudbury and Parry Sound Districts
during the latter part of July and first part of August, but apart from a short
period of high hazard in the early part of October in the same two districts,
there were no acute or prolonged hazards in the latter part of the summer.

Legislation

An Act to amend The Forest P'ires Prevention Act (Bill No. 98) was passed
at the 1946 session of the Legislature and became law on June 5. 1946. The more
important changes are:

1. The office of Pro\incial Forester is abolished.

2. Proxision made to enter into agreements with municipalities for pre\ention
and control of fires.

3. Pro\ision for the entire cost of extinguishing fires confined to Crown Land
to be borne l)y the Department.

4. ( )nus of proof placed upon permittee where fire originates in an area in which
summer operations are being carried on.

5. Section 24 requiring employees of operators to wear badges was repealed.

An Order-in-Council re\ising the Regulations under The l-'orest Fires
Pre\ention Act was passed on July 4th, 1946. This made some changes in the
general regulations and in the boundaries of the fire districts and tra\el permit
areas.

Due to hazardous tire conditions, eight areas in Cochrane District were
closed to tra\el for ten days in the first part of August and a section of the
Mississagi Road in Sault Ste. Marie District was closed to traxel from August o
tf) September 13.

The number of prosecutions for breaches of the Forest Fires Prexention
Act was seventeen, all but three of which resulted in comictions.

Ok(. ANIZ A I ION

On December 1, 1946 Mr. C. R. Mills resigned as Chief of the Di\ision of
I'orest Protection and was replaced b>- Mr. T. E. Mackey. who was formerK'
Regional Forester at North Bav.

82 REPORT OF THE No. 3

By Order-in-Council dated July 4, 1946, Manitoulin and Cockburn Islands
and Lots 16 to 53 of the Wild Land Reserve in the Municipality of Atwood were
removed from the Fire District and the townships of Morson, McCrosson and
To\ell were added to the Fire District.

On April 1, 1946, Chapleau and Biscotasiny; Dixisions of Sudbury District
were formed into a new district known as Chapleau District, with headquarters
at Chapleau, and Gogama and Foleyet Divisions and part of Capreol Division
W'ere formed into a new District known as Gogama District, with headquarters
at Gogama.

On May 1, 1946, Mr. J. W. Jones and Mr. R. K. Strang were transferred
from the Main Office of the Department of Game and Fisheries to the Di\-ision
of Forest Protection. Mr. Jones will continue in the capacity of Superintendent of
Construction and Mr. Strang as Mechanical Super\-isor.

During July and August the hre ranging staff was again augmented by some
eighty high school students who did \aluable work on improxements and on
fire suppression.

Equipment
There were no new de\elopments during the past fiscal year.

Improx'E.mexts

Some ranger cabins and smaller headquarters buildings were constructed
and some telephone lines built but no extensi\e building programme was carried
out due to shortage of materials.

The Department of Public Works continued the construction of buildings at
the Forest Ranger School. The buildings completed to date are a dormitory,
boiler house and heating plant, dining hall and kitchen with living quarters fcr
kitchen staff. Underway are a workshop and garage, the Director's house and
Administration Office, the school building and two fire hydrant and hose houses.

DEPARTMENT OE LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 99

DI\ ISION OE LAND AND RECREATIONAL AREAS

The \olume of work completed in connection with certain phases of land
administration increased during the last fiscal year, as will be seen by the tables
and graphs forming part of this Section. This is due to more advanced methods
of administration, a properly trained stafif, and improved inspection facilities.
More rapid handling of current transactions and a continued increase in the
number of long outstanding cases brought to a satisfactory conclusion have been
gratifying.

Summer Resort Lands

Sales of summer resort lands, for both private and commercial use, increased
o\"er an all-time high during the fiscal year 1945-46, and although the number of
patents issued also increased, the increase would have been considerably greater
had it been possible to secure the services of Ontario Land Sur\eyors to do the
necessary sur\"ey work.

Agricultural and Allied Uses

An increase in the number of transactions completed in\ol\ing lands for
special use, agricultural lands in sale townships, and agricultural lands in free
grant townships, collectixely, is shown. It was expected that the sale of land for
this purpose would decrease, in that it was assumed that the demand would fall
off, due to continued favorable economic conditions. The large percentage of
sales and patents completed, especially under the special use section, is the result
directly of improved methods of administration, inspection facilities, and more
efficiently trained staff, as stated above.

Provincial Parks

There was no change made in the status of Provincial Parks, of which there
are six, as follows:

Algonquin 2,741 Sq. Miles

Quetico 1,720 Sq. Miles

Rondeau 8 Sq. Miles

Lake Superior 540 Sq. Miles

Sibley 63 Sq. Miles

Ipperwash Beach 109 Acres

Veterans' Lands

An agreement was concluded lietween the Dominion and Prox iiicial (ioxern-
nients, which became effective on April 10th, 1966, and which pro\ides for the
establishment of qualified veterans on Crown lands in Ontario. The agreement
is generally known as "The Ontario Dominion-Pro\incial Agreement" and it
was made under and by \irtue of Section 35 of the \'eterans' Land Act ( Dominion)
1942. The Proxincial C.o\ernment is responsible under the agreement for the
allocation of Proxincial lands, pro\iding inspection reports and extending all
ser\ices ordinaril\- pro\ided for persons other than \eterans. At the close of
the first year of operation, agreements for sale and licenses of occupation, com-
pleted, total nineteen. Twehe applications are pending, and two were cancelled,
riiese transactions are summarized in the table included herein. It is expected
that the number of cases which will be referred to this Department for considera-
tion during the ensuing year will be considerably increased. The opportunities
a\ailai)le to rjualified \eterans ha\e been more fully ad\ertised, resulting in
steadily increasing interest to participate, particularly due to the fact that the

100 REPORT OF THE No. 3

assistance granted is not repayable; payment of purchase price of land in the
case of first-land application is waived by the Province, and in the case of the
veteran, who has acti\ely served in the armed services overseas, or one full
year in Canada, and has resumed residence and settlement duties, he is absolved
from payment of all amounts of principal and interest which may be owing in
respect of land purchase price and impro\ement charges.

Tourist Outfitters' Camps

A prosperous tourist trade during the 1945 season, exceeding the pre-war
volume, served to stimulate the growing interest in post-war expansion. Whereas
the erection of 149 new camps was authorized the previous year, over 400 appli-
cations for permits were considered in 1946. of which 328 were granted as at
March 31st, 1947. There was also much activity in the rehabilitation and expan-
sion of established camps. The acute shortage of basic building materials did.
however, retard the anticipated expansion in the industry, as only 171 new
camps were completed and licensed to operate. 856 current licenses were issued,
an annual increase of 35%. including 51 camps which had not operated during
the war. Ill licenses were issued at a non-resident fee of $25.00 each, and 745
at a resident fee of SIO.OO each. (See table).

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 109

DIMSION OF LAW

The primar\- duties of the Di\ision are as indicated in the Administrati\e
Chart.

As a result of the pre\ious Department of (lame and Fisheries cominy
under the administration of the Department of Lands and Forests, as the Di\i-
sion of Fish and W'ildhfe, the work of the Law Division was considerabh- in-
creased. The Game and Fisheries Act, 1946, is a revision of the Act which
formerly was in effect, and considerable time was necessary in connection with
the preparation of the many regulations which are required under the provisions
of the Act.

Amendments were made to ten Acts governing the administration of the
Department, and The Forest Management Act was created. This Act permits
the Minister to require timlier operators on Crown land to submit estimated
inventories of the timber on the cutting-area respecting age, species, size and
type, and management plans concerning the utilization of the timber.

An amendment to The Townsites Act pro\ides that the Crown shall not
claim any percentage of land in a subdi\ision plan of land which has been patented
for upwards of fixe years prior to the time of making the subdivision.

An amendment to The Crown Timber Act permits the Minister, with the
appro\'al of the Lieutenant-Go\ernor in Council, to enter into long-term timber
concession agreements concerning all species of timl^er.

An amendment to The Cullers Act allows the Lieutenant-Governor in
Council to make regulations with respect to standardization of the measurement

of timber cut on Crown lands.

An amendment to The Pul)]ic Lands Act allows the issue of letters patent
to the widow of a locatee.

During the year, the policN' of dealing with trespass cases, where a person
committing a trespass had no authority to cut, by laying a charge of theft ot
trees under the Criminal Code, was actively followed. In the majority of such
charges convictions were made, and it is felt that this polic}' will reduce unauthor-
ized timber-cutting.

The following is a recapitulation of charges laid under the Criminal Code
and for offences against provincial statutes and regulations:

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 111

DIMSIOX OF OPERATION AXD PERSOXXEL

The termination of hostilities with German\- in Ma\", 1945, and with Japan
in August, 1945, initiated the retooHng of industry- and diverted the flow of
personnel from the Armed Forces and industry- to other channels. As a result
of the processes of reconversion in the personnel and supph' fields, the situation,
as far as the Department is concerned, has been greath' eased. Urgenth' needed
supplies ha\e been a little more readih' obtained and in somewhat greater
volume, but still do not entireh' meet our requirements.

For some time there was considerable difficult}' in obtaining suitable qualified
stenographic personnel, and desks and other office furniture are still most difficult
to obtain. As >ounger people return to pre-war perspectives and as adolescents
who have been obtaining the wages usualh" paid to adults are eliminated from
industry, this situation ma\- be considerabh- bettered. It is anticipated, too,
that the training programmes of the Canadian \'ocational schools will be a
means of pro\'iding numbers of pro])erl\' trained personnel.

During this >"ear, eight new administrative districts were created, with the
result that the greater part of the Province south of the Albany River is now
under administrative district organization. The creation of these new districts
will provide more effective administration.

On Xoxember 28th. 1946, the Honoural)le H. R. Scott was appointed
Minister of the Department in succession to the Honourable W. G. Thompson,
who had resigned.

In April, the Department of Game and Fisheries was amalgamated with
the Department of Lands and Forests, and a new Departmental Division known
as the Division of Fish and Wildlife was created. Certain functions of Fish
and Wildlife Management both at Head Office and in the field were centralized
in this Division. Other administrative functions of the Department of Game
and Fisheries have been allocated to the appropriate Divisions alread>' estab-
lished in this Department.

The staft of the former Department of Game and Fisheries was redistributed,
the majorit\' of them being allocated to the Division of Fish and \\'ildlife and
the remainder to the other Divisions of the Department. The field stalT became
a part of the various administrative district organizations. B>- this process,
the Department of Lands and Forests became responsible for the administration
of the natural resources within the Proxince of Ontario with the single exception
of those within the purxiew of the Department of Mines. Changes effected
are dealt with in that {)art of this annual report dexoted to the Dixision of I'ish
and Wildlife.

A Forest Resources Inventory" organization was created in the Dixision of
Timber Management. The details of this organization appear in the section
of this report devoted to that Di\-ision.

Due to oxer-crowding at llead Office where the per capita space is at an
absolute minimum, the .Aerial -Surx-exs section of the Dix-ision of Surx'exs and
Engineering xvas transferred from the Parliament Buildings to the DeHaxilland
plant on Sheppard Avenue, where it continues to function as a section of that
Dix'ision.

PERSOWEL MAXAGEMEXT

Selection and Placement:

Applications for employment with the Department come to us, for the
most i)art, through the Office of the Civil Service Commission. A considerable
number, however, are received direct. All persons making application at Head
Office are interviewed by the Personnel Officer or his representative and a report
on each applicant is made summarizing all essential details concerning the
applicant's qualifications, experience and personal history and, as well, the
interviewer records his impression of the applicant and makes his recommenda-
tion to the Chief of this Division.

The testing and rating of ajjplicants for stenographic, taping and clerical
positions b\- the Office of the Civil Service Commission has been of great assist-
ance to us in recruiting competent persons in these classes.

The Department, has, wherever possible, placed ex-service personnel as
l)ositions or rephuements became necessary. Of those appointed to the start
during the fiscal >ear. 70.5% were ex-service personnel. A statement appears
which indicates the relatixc number of male and female emplo\ees.

TwentN I'ish and Wildlife Sju'cialists were appointed to give innnediate,
close sui)ervision to enforcement matters in the various administrative districts
under the respective District P'oresters. The fisli hatcherx staffs became part
of the District organizations.

On \()\cmber 28, 1946, the I lononrabK' II. K. Scott succeeded the llonom-
al)le W. (".. riiom])son as Minister of Lands and l-'orests.

On April 1, 1946. 1. M. Ta\ lor was ai)pointed District Forester at Gogama.
On the s.uue dale V . j. Dawson was ajipointed District Forester at Chapleau.

Investigations:

Constant haison work lias been conducted and essential investigations made
from time to time throughout the service as required, through which the Head
Office Relations with the held and vice versa have been facilitated.

Accident, Health and Safety Measures:

Medical and X-ra\" examinations have been continued. As a result, a
large number of the staff have been done, and in this connection, it ma>- be
observed that it is now essential for emplo\ees recommended for promotion
to the Permanent Staff to be categorized by the Health Clinic, or under their
supervision. Health and Accident Prevention literature has been circulated
and arrangements are being made for this to be followed In- motion {picture
propaganda.

Attendance Records:

These are compiled monthly and are necessarily maintained with con-
siderable care due to the fact that sick leave accumulations of employees with
over five years service are worth half pa\- on their separation from the service.

Staff Suggestion Plan:

The interest of both emplo\ee and official in this plan has been maintained
and on Januar\- 13, 1947, thirteen prizes for suggestions were awarded by the
("ommittee as follows:

STAFF MEETINGS

Regional Meeting:

Regional Conferences including all the senior administrative officers of
each region respectively, were held as follows: —

Western Region Kenora Oct. 7-8

Thunder Bay Port Arthur Oct. 10-11

Southern Ranger School Oct. 31 — Nov. 1

District Foresters' Meetings:

The annual District Foresters' Conference was held in Toronto, January
20th to January 25th, 1947. It was attended b}' Field and Head Office officials,
and with an organized time table and classified agenda, the proceedings resulted
in a most beneficial conference.

Supplementary Conference:

A supplementary- conference was held from February- 17th to February
21st, 1947, attended by field foresters other than District Foresters. This
conference provided an opportunity for Assistant Foresters and other senior
officials to discuss current and other j)roblems in oj^en forum, for which suitable
provision could not be made on the agenda of the Regular Conference. Definite
benefits were immediately apparent, and because of this and the reactions of
those who attended, it is proposed to continue the practice in an endeavour to
bring about closer relations between the Field and Head Office and facilitate
the efficient discharge of the responsibilities of all concerned.

TRAIN L\G

The following are the details of First Aid Training, Job Instruction Training
and the Head Office Staff Courses for the fiscal year. The favourable reaction
of the staff and their hearty interest in the instruction as given, to say nothing
of improved performance, is reflected in the ratings obtained by those instructed
under the various headings.

The number of employees that completed First Aid Training successfulh',
as provided by the St. John's Ambulance Association, was 80.

The number of employees that completed the Job Instruction Training
Course was 72.

The number of employees that completed the Head Office Staff Course
was nine.

Ontario Forest Ranger School:

All of the buildings have not >et been completed, but the results obtained
so far are most gratifying and it is hoped that the building programme will have
been finished towards the end of 1947. The second term began October 1st,
1946, and concluded October 31st, 1946.

During the period December 2nd to December 19th, 1946, inclusive, a Fish
and Wildlife course was held at the Ranger School. It was attended by the
Specialists and Enforcement Officers from the various districts, with obvious
benefits.

Scaler's Course:

Under the direction of the Division of Timber ALanagement, live courses
were given at Minden, Thessalon, Fort William and Swastika respectiveh .
Details of the results of examinations which followed these courses are reported
by the Division of Timber Management on page 156.

Workmen's Compensation:

The provisions of the Act are available to the staff' of the Department,
many of w^hom are from time to time engaged in hazardous work — benefits in
pay, medical aid and pensions.

For the past fiscal >ear the cost to the Depart men l was S22,05L73. The
administrative charge of the Board was S754.50. Last year these figures were
$12,458.04 and $334.50 respectively.

Over the period back to 1938, these costs have varied from a minimum of
812.850.33 in 1944 to 817,129.85 in 1939.

The \ariations seem to be compatible with the intensit\- of the tire hazard,
as the number of accidents and the incidence of these rise in the dr\- months
and decline in the fall.

Ever\- effort is made to eliminate dangerous or careless practice and so
reduce cost, man dax' losses and job dela\".

ROYAL COMMISSION ON FORIvSTRA'

Under Order-in-Council, dated April 16, 1946 and pursuant to the Public
Inquiries Act, R.S.O. 1937, chapter 19, Major General Howard Kennedy,
C.B.E., M.C., B.Sc. (McGill), was appointed a Commissioner to investigate,
enquire into and report upon the forest resources of Ontario and their conserva-
tion, management, development and beneficial utilization for all purposes, and
was given power to summon any person and require him to give evidence on

DKPARTMKNT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 12o

oath, and to produce such documents and things "as the commissioner deems
requisite for the full investigation of the matter into which he is appointed to
examine, !)>• subi:)oena signed In the commissioner."

Pursuant thereto, the Commissioner conducted public hearings at various
points throughout the Province in subsequent months, and submissions to the
Commissioner of relevant material from the public were invited. In due course
hearings were conducted at the Parliament Buildings, Queen's Park, Toronto,
at which briefs were presented at the request of the Commissioner. Briefs
presented b\- the various divisions of our Department, included charts, graphs
and explanatory' information.

Outside Storage Space

It became evident some time ago that the space in the Outside Storage
Building, erected at the Southern Experimental Station, would not be adequate
to house the increased volume of records brought about b\- the amalgamation
of the I])epartment of Game and Fisheries with the Dejxirtment of Lands and
Forests.

ConsequentK'. it was decided to add two new wings of brick and concrete,
similar to the original building. Each wing is thirt\' feet long b\" twent\' feet
wide, one at each end of the main structure, and running at right angles to it.
The southern wing was constructed with a basement to accommodate a heating
and air conditioning plant with fuel bins. This installation has been completed.

Due to the extreme shortage of sheet steel, it was found to be impossible
to obtain our total requirements of steel transfer cases in which to house the
records sent for storage. However, about one-third of our requirements were
obtained, and these cases are now installed and will meet immediate needs.

Office Space

Due to a great expansion of staff, space adjustments became incrcasingk-
necessary, in order to make the utmost use of the offices available. Despite
planning for effective utilization of sj^ace man\- offices are badh' over-crowded.

Permanent Records.

In addition to the transfer of older records to the Outside Storage Building
at Mai)le, the Records Office Staff had the problem of taking over the files of
the Dejwrtment of (iame and l^'isheries, and including in the Permanent Records
Filing S\stem, those files which shoukl properh" be maintained there. At
l)resent there are over 140, 000 Permanent files and the a\erage mail in con-
nection with these is 200 letters dail\ , in adflition to other mail on various
Divisional matters.

Supply Records

A visible index card s\steni is maintained to record the receipts, issues
and stock balance of all equipment and su])plies handled l)\- this sub-section.
This entails a clerk's full tinu- work. The sxsteni reflects the (juantities and
location of all equipment.

Equipment Records

held by Head Office and all hislriils. I'orest Stations, Regional Caches, etc..
in the I )epartment.

126 REPORT OF THE No. 3

(b) With the incorporation of the Department of Game and Fisheries with
this Department, and the organization of five new Districts, the amount 'of
work involved has become much greater. It is necessary to pick up all items
of non-expendable equipment from invoices passed for payment, to record them
in their proper classification and location, and to be able to render a completeh'
priced statement at any time this might be required. The work of absorbing
into our system the Game and Fisheries forms and licences was difficult and
protracted, but in due course accomplished.

(c) The expansion of Department Staff, together with the inclusion of
the Department of Game and Fisheries as a new Division, increased tremendoush'
the volume of equipment and supplies purchased and distributed. This increase
w-as accentuated by the concentration of all Main Office purchasing under the
Division of Operation and Personnel, as of December 1st, 1946.

The volume of requisitions from Field and Main Offices, during the \ear,
was more than double the number processed in the previous year.

(d) Distribution of Technical Circulars and Publicity Material: —

A vastK" increased quantit\' of informative literature, in the form of Tech-
nical Circulars and Publicit\- material was distributed during the \ear.

Distribution and Stock Storage

These functions are detailed jointly rather than indi\^iduall\' because the\"
are so closely allied. All the equipment and supplies mentioned above received
in our stockroom are closely checked against King's Printer requisitions, Public
Works requisitions or purchase orders, as the case may be. Goods which are
required for the immediate filling of an outstanding order are checked against
that order and prepared for shipment, in the case of Field Offices. Require-
ments for Head Olfice needs are checked against the Divisional requisition and
deliver}' is made to the office of origin where signature is obtained.

Goods for long term supph", such as printed forms (of which nearly 1,000
different types are in actual use) maps, advertising and publicity material, bulk
stationery and office supplies and certain smaller items of equipment, must be
carefully placed in stock in orderly fashion to be readily available when required.

In addition to the foregoing, our duplicating machines are loc^lted in the
stockroom and all duplicating work for the Department is carried out there by
means of mimeograph or multilith processes. This work includes the pro-
duction of a large percentage of the Departmental forms now in use, numerous
technical and other reports, form letters, and a large volume of Technical.
Policy, Divisional and Information Circulars. A record of cost on all duplicating
work is maintained.

The foregoing items must be assembled, stitched, folded w^here necessary,
placed in envelopes and dispatched to Parliament Buildings' Post Office. In
addition, a heavy flow- of educational literature is dispatched in a similar manner.

Some idea of the volume of work carried on in this stockroom may be given
from the following figures covering activities of the past twelve months:-

140 tons of goods handled annually.
8,500 booklets dispatched quarterly.
2,000 pamphlets dispatched semi-monthly.
144,000 circulars produced, assembled and dispatched annually.
250,000 mimeograph impressions made annually.
1,768,000 multilith impressions made annually.

21,280 orders, received, filled, checked and shipped.

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 W,

(This figure of 21,280 is made up of 6,280 orders of stationery and supplies,
and 15,000 shipments containing 469,700 Fish and Game Licences).

In addition to the recording of all incoming requisitions and outgoing
shipments, a permanent record is maintained of all serially numbered forms
such as Cutting Permits, Land Permits, Cash Receipt Books, for casual payroll
and extra Fire Fighting staff, Main Office receipts, and Rental Due Notices.

1 . — Servicing — Messenger Service

A messenger service is maintained and these duties are carried out by
junior members of the Record's Staff.

2. — Space Adjustments

Many adjustments must be made in order to accommodate a greatly in-
creased staff in alread\' crowded office space. The situation has become critical
and even with the removal of certain sections of the Department to other quarters
outside the Parliament Buildings, space is still at a premium. This is con-
sidered most important in order that the administration of the Department
ma\' be facilitated properly.

3. — Relations with Building Superintendent, Department of Public Works and
Special Arrangements.

It is difficult to detail the duties carried out under this heading, but they
nevertheless consume a considerable proportion of' the time of the officer in
charge of the section and certain members of the staff". This includes arrange-
ments for moving of office furniture, accommodation for special conferences, etc.,
major moves of section as mentioned in (2) above, and the handling of specially
large incoming or outgoing freight shipments.

■INFORMATION AND EDUCATION

Introduction

The eagerness with which the people of Ontario have sought information
concerning their natural resources during the past \ear has been remarkable
indeed.

The merger of the Departments of Lands and Forests and Game and Fisheries
on June 2nd, 1946, increased considerably the scope and volume of work of
this section. It is felt that good management of our fish and wildlife resources
depends largely on the understanding and consequent co-operation of anglers
and hunters. Enforcement of the fish and game laws and regulations is in itself
economically impossible without such active co-operation. Therefore, the
increased volume of appeals for observance of the fish and game laws during
the Near was considered to be justified.

Staff

(1) The clerical-stenographic staff was increased from three to four during
the \ear.

(2) The man appointed in charge of appeals in February-, 1946, was trans-
ferred to the field staff in November, 1946, and was not replaced at head office.

(3) In May, 1946, a former member of the Department of Game and
I'isheries took over the dut>' of answering general inquiries regarding fish and
wildlife.

(4) In the earl\ part of the \ear. two tield lecturers were added to the staff,

128 REPORT OF THE No. 3

and one more at a late date, bringing the full-time field staff up to four. Two
other lecturers operated during the summer season.

(5) One full-time photographer and a photo-processor were engaged in the
fall of 1946.

Publications

Twenty-three new booklets were published during the >ear, and ten others
were reprinted, with revisions. Four issues of the Department's magazine
"SYLVA", started in the previous >ear, were published.

The demand for publications increased, in man>- cases exceeding the supply.
A great volume of letter writing b\' administrative officers was eliminated
through the use of these |)ublications.

Lecturic ToiRS

The lecture tours were highh- successful in the past \"ear. It is considered
that the showing of motion [)ictures is one of the best means of influencing the
})ublic to become more careful in the use of fire in the w^oods, and in observance
of the fish and game laws.

The feature pictures used were "To-morrow's Timber" and "Portage",
supjiorted b>- a number of short subjects. Towards the close of the ^ear a fish
and wildlife ])icture, entitled "Realm of the Wild" was i)urchased from a L.S.
soui'ce. There is a great need for the production ot coiiser\'ation pictures in
Ontario locale.

One i^icture, " Timagami Ranger" was produced under Department direction
during the year, and will be a\ailal)le for showing at the start of the next fiscal
\ear.

Articles

l"ort\-one press releases were issued during the year. In addition, data
was supjjlied to reporters and editors for numerous articles. The 24,000 column
inches of si)ace given b\- Ontario newspapers to Department activities and
interests re[)resented a 20 per cent. in(-rease o\-cr the previous year.

l-"ift\ articles wiiltcn b\ the slalT of the 1 )c-part menl, were published in
magazines, in addition to over 1,000 news items. Several articles b\' feature
writers were published in national magazines, based on material supplied by

the I )c])artmciit .

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 131

Posters

The following cards were issued during the \ear, for posting in Northern
Ontario forests:

Campsite

Do Not Set Out Fires

Forest Fire Law

Forest Fires are Caused By

A Good Sportsman Stops to Smoke

He Is Burning Vour Forest

Look Before You Leave

Timber Seizure Notice

Settlers and Others Burning Brush

Stop — Have You Got Your Travel Permit

Stop — Did You Put Out Your Campfire

Trespassing is Forbidden

Radio

Seven 10-minute interview broadcasts were given over a Toronto station,
and discs distributed to 16 Ontario stations for recording. All of these were
informative.

Radio stations in Ontario rendered valuable assistance to District Foresters
in broadcasting spot messages in connection with forest fires.

Advertising

A total of 98 advertisements were i)laced with Ontario daih and weekl\-
newspapers, calling for tenders for the sale of Crown Timber. Sixt\- additional
advertisements were placed in connection with the Railwa\' Fire Charge Act,
Culler's Examinations, sale and purchase of equipment, etc. An announcement
of the opening of the hunting seasons for game birds was published in 350 Ontario
daih' and weekh' newspapers.

Conservation appeals in the form of display-t\pe advertisements were
jjublished in four Ontario dailies in connection with special events of associations.

Sixt\-()iU' conservation appeal display advertisements were published in
magazines. Fourteen of these were in timber journals, and seven in special
timber issues of business and financial periodicals. Of the balance, twenty-five
were placed in fishing and hunting and outdoor magazines or sports programmes,
three in farm journals, and twelve in war veterans, i)olice, labour and like journals.

School Work

A forest fire prevention poster contest was conducted, in co-o])eration with
the Dej^artment of lulucation, in the 34 School Inspectorates of northern Ontario.
After i)reliminar\' selections In- the schools and local committees, 285 posters
were submitted to the final judging committee. i'he excellence of the [josters,

tile iusti'uction i-ccei\c<l i)\ the pupils, and the fire prex'ention pul)li(-it\- accorded
by the ]>rcss and magazines tuIK jiislilu-d the contest.

In addition to the lecture woi'k 1)\ thi- st.ift' in the schools and the general
l>l)e of literature jjrovided to teachers, it is felt that a limited variet\- of publi-

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 133

Correspondence

The volume of correspondence in response to letters of inquir\- for informa-
tion increased considerabh' over past years, due particularl\- to the inclusion of
treneral inquiries concerning fish and wildlife, amounting to approximateh'
4,200 letters with reference to this subject alone.

Miscella neons A ctivities

In addition to other duties in connection with i)rei)aration, statistical
compilation, research, distribution, and business routine, the Information and
Education staff conducted tours of inspection with visitors, gave public relations
training to other staff members, and attended meetings and conventions.

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 135

DIVISION OF REFORESTATION

Distribution of Trees

The distribution of trees for the year under review reached a figure of
13,175,000, an increase of 2,000,000 over that of the previous season. This
increase was largely due to the increased demand by private landowners.

On a cross-section stud\" made of the results of this distribution, it was found
that on private planting a very large percentage of loss had occured. This was
especialh' true of those trying to devlop hardwood plantations on heav>' clay
soil. The losses sustained are attributed to a large number of causes, the out-
standing being improper or careless planting, grass and weed competition, along
with loss from rodents such as mice and rabbits, and a large percentage of loss
from grazing.

It should be emphasized that the successful distribution of forest trees,
and their proper development, is dependent on correct plans being made, through
experienced forest officers or trained men in the field.

Distribution to Schools

Interest has continued in school planting through the competitions organized
b\ the Ontario Horticultural Association. Trees sent out under these Competi-
tions numbered 560,000.

Seed Collection and Extraction

This past season's seed crop was disappointing, as our important conifers,
such as Red Pine and White Spruce, produced a verj- poor crop. There was a
good crop of White Pine seed. This condition was brought about owing to the
abnormal temperatures of early Spring, when hot weather and following freezing
occurred during the flowering stage.

Provincial Stations

A new l-'orcst Nurser\- and Provincial I-orest Station has \)vvn established
in Norih Western Ontario, near Port Arthur and l-"ort William. This Station,
containing 400 acres, is located in the Township of Paipoonge. It is expected
that this Nursery will provide planting stock for reforestation projects in North
Western Ontario. It was found unsatisfactory to ship material from the older
Stations in .Southern Ontario.

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 139

DIVISION OF RESEARCH

The Research Division completed a year of expansion during 1946 despite
the fact that competent research personnel are difficult to obtain at any time, and
particularly so under existing conditions of active competition from industry
and educational institutions.

During the year three additional staff members were given full time employ-
ment; a botanical geneticist, a mammalogist. specializing in wildlife; and a
fisheries biologist. It is hoped to be able to add further to the staff when com-
petent, thoroughh' trained people are available.

Because of the nature of research work, and the Division's stage of develop-
ment, it is felt that only the highest grade of staff" available should be considered
for permanent appointments.

The urgenc\' of man\' of the investigations looking to the expansion and
continuity of forest operations, remains unchanged, and in many cases has been
accentuated by the cumulative results of war wastage and the growing need for
more efficient utilization and protection.

The Division's whole field of work has been broadened by the amalgamation
of the Game and Fisheries and Lands and Forests Departments.

The following is a summary- of the work carried out during the fiscal year
1946-47. Separate special reports have been made on all completed phases of
the work.

The following is a summary of people employed by this Division during the
year :

Permajient 4 Foresters

1 Mechanical Engineer
1 Soils Specialist

I. Biological

Silviculture:

The general object of these studies is to obtain information for sustained
forest management. The work of the Research Division in the period reported
on was undertaken to determine the adequacy of stocking of desirable species
following cutting and fire and to devise methods to correct deficiencies. Experi-
ments are or will be set up to check the results from recommended procedures
in actual practice.

Surveys under this heading were carried on in the following areas in 1946:

(1) Northern Cla>- Belt in the Kapuskasing District. This survey was under the
direction of Professor R. C. Hosie and was originalh' organized in 1945 as a
cooperative effort with the University and the Spruce Falls Power & Paper
Co. The 1946 survey was intended to complete the work of 1945. A report
has been published on both seasons' work.

(2) In the Goulais River area north of Sault Ste. Marie. This work was under-
taken in 1945 to stud\- the effects of logging on a mixed stand and was
undertaken as a cooperative effort with the Dominion Government. The
main effort during the past summer was to relocate sample plots set out
during the late 20's. No report has as yet been issued by the Dominion
Forest Service who control this project.

(3) In the Port Arthur and Kenora Districts. These surveys were undertaken
to study regeneration following logging and fire. The species studied were
mainly spruce, jack pine and poplar. The work was organized by the
Research Division and was under the general direction of Mr. Peter Addison
and Mr. Wilson Cram, Regional Foresters at Port Arthur and Kenora respec-
tively. The field work was conducted b\- A. P. Leslie and H. C. Larsson,
assisted by 18 students. Some 150,000 acres were examined during the
season .

Soils:

The main object of this work is the separation of agricultural and forest
soils and the classification of forest soils to ensure their most productive use.
It was carried on under the direction of G. A. Hills, l-'icld work was mainly
in the Cochrane District and covered approximateh" 50,000 acres. A soil anahsis
laboratory was established at the Southern Research Station near Ahipie,
Ontario. The results of these soil surveys can be used as a guide to land settle-
ments and will also define the area of the Province which should be used for
the growing of forest products.

.Smelter Fumes:

This study is a continuation of the work of 1944-45 to determine damage
to the forest b\- fumes from smelters at Sudbur\- and l-'alconbridge. Meld work
consisted of aerial sampling in the smelter smoke and on the ground using an

142 REPORT OF THE No. 3

automatic recorder in the plane. Automatic ground recorders have now been
set up at Bear Island, Emerald Lake, Skead, Capreol, Crystal Falls, Burwash
and Lake Penage. The assistance of Mr. A. W. McCallum, Pathologist of the
Dominion Department of Agriculture, and Dr. George Duff, of the University
of Toronto, was obtained in studying pathological effects on trees and the deter-
ioration of killed material. Meteorological effects were studied b\' the Dominion
Meteorological Service. A secondary laboratory site was selected near Thessalon
for controlled experiments in fumigation to be made in 1947.

Forest Genetics:

The services of a competent geneticist. Dr. C. C. Heimburger, were obtained
in August of 1946. Dr. Heimburger will proceed with his work on the selection
of a blister rust resistant strain of wdiite pine and an aspen which will combine
good growth, disease resistance and good pulping qualities. He has also started
the establishment of an arboretum at Maple of all declimatized trees.

Artificial Reforestation by Seeding:

This project dealing mainh' with the use of coated seed on burned areas
commenced in the fall of 1946 and several burned areas wxre sown experimentalh'
b}^ hand and from an airplane. Seeds were coated at the Maple station using a
combination of insecticides, rodent repellents and fertilizers.

A stud\' of the seeding habits of pines, particularly red pine, was started
this year under the direction of Dr. George Duff, of the University of Toronto,
assisted by two undergraduates. This work is necessary because little is known
of the seeding habits of trees or why their seed production is sporadic. It is
thought that as a result of this work it may be possible finally to produce regular
cone crops from plantation pine at an economic cost. This will reduce the uncer-
tainty now attending naturally grown supplies of seed.

Game and Fish:

The main object of these studies is to increase the game and fish resources
of the Province. Fisheries surveys were carried out during this season under the
direction of Dr. W. J. K. Harkness and Dr. F. E. J. Fry in Algonquin, Sibley
and Quetico Parks and in Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The principal studies
were directed towards the effect of coarse fish on game and commercial species
and the improvement resulting from a balanced removal of all species or, in
some cases, a heavy removal of coarse fish and restocking with desirable species.

Studies of habitat relationships such as water temperatures and food content
in relation to fish numbers and health were continued at the Fish Laborator\
near Whitney. Studies of planting Atlantic salmon were made in Duffin's Creek
near Pickering, Ontario.

Wildlife studies were carried out under the direction of Dr. C. H. D. Clarke,
assisted by 8 students, in Algonquin Park. A wilderness area of 30.5 sq. miles
for the study of wildlife under natural conditions was established in Algonquin
Park in 1944 and work was continued in this area. The principal study was
directed towards obtaining a method of assessing animal populations that can
be applied in forest and game management. The problem of animal diseases
also received attention.

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 143

Forest Pest Control:

The object of this project was a thorough investigation of the possibility
of controlling major forest insect infestations by the use of insecticides applied
from aircraft. Following the program of 1945 when 100 square miles w^ere spra>ed,
an additional 40 square miles were sprayed in the Thunder Bay district. This
work organized by the Department received important contributions from the
R.C.A.F. and the Science Service of the Dominion Department of Agriculture.
The efficienc>' of the cxperiemnt was greath- increased over 1945, when five
Canso planes under contract were used. In 1946 one Canso plane owned by the
Department covered almost half the area spra3-ed in 1945. The total cost of
the spraying operation amounted to $3.23 per acre. Application of DDT ranged
from 2 to 4 pounds per acre and a kill of budworm of over 90 per cent resulted
from the 2 pound per acre application. A report has been issued.

II. Economic and Maxagemext Studies

Some further work was carried out in connection with the stud>' of stumpage
as a basis for charges in timber disposal. All operators in Southern Ontario were
canvassed as to willingness to cooperate in these studies, but no proper field
work could be carried on because staff with the proper qualifications for this
work are not \et available.

A stud\' of the economics of cutting small pine was commenced in the
southeastern part of Ontario b\' Mr. M. \\ B. Ardenne, assisted b\- two students.
This work would aid the Department and the operators in determining where
l)rofit ends and loss begins in the cutting of small timber. The result should
make it easier to retain small timber for its full economic rotation.

III. Mechaxical axd Electrical Investigatioxs

The main mechanical building of the Research Station near Maple was
completed and mechanical work was undertaken. Tests of various commercial
forest fire pumping units were carried out as well as tests of fungicides for pre-
\enting deca\' of fire hose. A prototype cone extracting machine using infra
red heat lamps was constructed. Some 40 jeeps and vehicles purchased b\- the
Department were overhauled before being jnit into field use.

A superintendent's residence was completed, also a garage for storage of
eight vehicles. A complete soils laboratory for physical and chemical anahsis
of soils was set up. A start was made on a fisheries research laboratory which
will feature the unique "artifical lake", where an>" condition found in natural
lakes may be recreated in the laboratory and thus aid in obtaining knowledge
of fish that will facilitate artificial and natural stocking and fish culture of all
kinds. A test well for water suppK" to this lal)orator\- was drilled and an a(lc(|ualc
supph' of high qualilx' water assurid.

The furtlicr development of the natural resources increased the activities
of the Department as a whole and this was reflected in the work undertaken by
this Division. In so far as qualified personnel were available, efforts were made to
cope with the backlog of field and office work that had accumulated as the
result of personnel shortages during the past jears.

In the Forest Inventory Project as undertaken b\- the Department over a
five >ear plan, the Division of Surveys and Engineering is responsible for covering
18.000 square miles b\' vertical photography and the preparation of planimetric
maps to a scale of four inches to one mile. An area of 5,054 square miles has
been photographed during the past fiscal year. Ground control surveys were
undertaken in the Districts of ("ochranc and Thunder Ba>' to pro\-ide accurate
and sufficient ground control points in areas previoush' unsur\-e\ed.

The preservation of our surve\" records, representing land surveys carried
out o\-er the length and breadth of the Province over the past 150 >ears, is most
important. The work of microfilming the field books was commenced this \"ear
and the films stored in fireproof containers.

The following aerial and ground surveys were undertaken during the fiscal
}ear ending March 31st, 1947:

Private Surveys on Crown Lands

Under authority- of Section 37 of the Public Lands Regulations, 388 summer
resort locations were surveyed and the returns of survey filed in the Department.
One hundred and thirty surveys of this number were surveyed under direct
departmental instructions to the surveyor where the applicant paid in the sixty
dollar survey fee as specified in Section 37 of the Public Lands Regulations.

Under provisions of the Mining Act, the survey returns of 840 mining
claims were filed in the Department for examination and approval.

Toii'nsite Subdivisions

The following subdi\isions of land affected b>- the provisions of the Town-
sites Act were surveyed on privately-owned lands, and approved by Orders-
in-Council. A cash consideration was accepted by the Crown in lieu of selecting
one quarter of the number of lots as surve},-ed.

cial issues and also the National Topographic Series for Ontario, as published
by the Department of Mines and Resources in Ottawa. These maps are for
sale to the public and distributed without charge for official Departmental use
and publicity purposes. The acquisition of Crown Lands for summer resort
purposes has increased considerabh' over past years, which, together with
additional tourist activity-, has resulted in an increased demand for maps as
compared to the number distributed during the previous fiscal >ear.

150 REPORT OF THE No. 3

In order to ensure preservation of the survey records, many of which are
over 100 years' old and fast deteriorating with age, plans are being formulated
for the treatment of original maps by a chemical process and the services of a
bookbinder were obtained with the work of reparing and recovering all field
note books and other volumes commenced in the latter part of January, 1947.
Under this plan, the microfilming of all of the original survey records was also
commenced in the latter part of January. By the end of this fiscal year, 1881
field note books and 94 other volumes representing a total of 259,000 pages had
been microfilmed. For the present, it is planned to continue to use the original
records and have the microfilmed negatives available for reproduction purposes
in the event of the original records becoming indistinguishable with age.

It is planned to re-index and catalogue all of these records as time permits.
In this connection the only progress made during this fiscal year was on the re-
indexing of the field note books and the separation of all municipal survey
records from the Crown Land Surve\s. Plans only were formulated on the card
index s\'stem for the re-indexing and cataloguing.

Photostating

In Xovember, 1946, the Photostat Section was transferred from the
Aerial Survey Section to the Ground Surveys under the supervision of the Map
Ofiice, which is the central point for the ordering of all photostatic material for
this Department. A notable item was the supplying of some 25,000 photostatic
copies of pages of field notes for the aerial mapping portion of the Forest Resources
Inventory Programme.

The photostat service is available to other Departments of the Government,
insofar as the cop\'ing of their records is concerned, at the prescribed rates.
This service extends also to Commissions of the Government and the public
for copies of records held in this Department and work pertaining thereto.

It is estimated that it costs 15c to produce one square foot of photostat
copy. Some 45,000 square feet of photostat paper was used during the fiscal
year. The following is the approximate square footage of photostatic paper
used for Departmental Divisions and District Offices, other than this Division,
during the year: —

DIVISION OE TIMBER :\IANAGEMENT

During the season of 1946-47 there was still a strong demand for all knids
of forest products, resulting in continued activit\' in timber operations throughout
the Province.

Although labor conditions were effected b>- the fact that prisoners-of-war
were no longer available, this condition was to some extent offset by the return
to bush operations of war service personnel and available civilians. As a con-
sequence the timber operators were able to maintain production.

^^'eather conditions were generally favorable throughout the season enabling
I he operators to get their timber to the mills without delay.

A statement of timber cut during 1945-46 season and returned in 1946 is
shown on Page 158, Table No. 1.

Statements showing production b\" administrative districts of the Province
for the 1945-46 season are also shown on Pages 159-171, Tables No. 2 to 2L
inclusive.

EoREST Resources Inventory

A post war project of considerable importance "The Eorest Resources
Inventory" was organized and placed in operation earh- in the year. The method
adopted after a thorough stud>- of existing methods and the remarkable advances
in aerial photograph}- during the war involved a complete coverage of the forested
area of the Province b\- the most up to date aerial photograph}-. Erom this,
l^lanimetric base maps were to be prepared and volumetric estimates made
from a combined use of aerial photographs and the standard methods of ground
survex".

The area to be covered consisted of 140,000 square miles. Of this area the
aerial j)hotography and planimetric mapping on 125,000 square miles was let
b\- contract to the Photographic Survey- Company, Ltd., the balance of 15,000
square miles to be done b>- the Aerial Sur\e> s Section of the Division of Surve>-
and Engineering of the Department of Lands and F^orests.

The Aerial Photography was underwa\- b>- June 1st and continued through-
out the summer anrl fall season. An area of 29,777 square miles of aerial photo-
graph}- was completed under contract and an additional area of photographs-
was completed by the De})artment.

Planimetric majjping was under\\a>- b\- November and b\- l-\'l)ruar\- delivery
of base maps from the contractor were started and 4,429 square miles were
delivered b\- the end of the \-ear.

Type mai)ping from aerial photographs was started on recei\-ing delivery
of base majis. An area of 8,600 square miles i)eing completed b>- tiie end of the
\ear read}- for held checking and final checking of maps and completion of the
inventor}-.

MANAGEMENT PLANS AND CONTROL

In writing more ri-ct-nt puljjwood and timber concession agreements in
accordance with the Eorest Management Act of 1947, clauses have been incorj)-
orated which provide for the submission of plans for the operation and manage-
ment of the concession areas on a sustained \-ield basis or to maintain their
production capacit}-. In order to supervise the preparation of these plans, the
work has recentl}- been put under the direction of a forester apjjointed for that
purpose. It is his dut}' to prepare the outlines of the minimum requirements

154

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1947 155

for the compilation of plans to work in co-operation with the operators in their
preparations, to analyze them when submitted, and put into effect the control
necessary to assure the application of the plans as approved by the Department.

Additional foresters have been assigned to supervise current management
projects in the Districts, and as the plans of the various operators are approved
and additional Crown management units are established, management foresters
will take over active control of this phase of timber management.

As at the end of March, 1947, fifty agreements have been written, covering
approximately 60,000 square miles, which contain clauses providing for some
form of management control through the submission before beginning operations.

During the past year the available information on the preparation of
management plans of other forest authorities was reviewed, as were the agree-
ments, to obtain a basic understanding of their requirements. A manual was
prepared outlining the minimum requirements for working or management
I)lans, operating plans, and annual cutting applications and the compilation of
forest survey data collected to form a basis for such plans and applications.
When completed this manual was forwarded to all the operators concerned.

Plans are now being received from operators, a substantial indication that
the industry is prepared to co-operate in this program. Many more are activeh'
engaged in the preparation of plans, but owing to the shortage of foresters avail-
able for conducting this work as a result of war conditions, there has been con-
siderable delay. Now that the war is over it is expected that the conditions will
be stabilized considerably and a great expansion in this program will become
evident.

Arrangements have been made to have a closer check on proposed operations
through the requirements of more detail in annual cutting applications and the
subsequent inspection of woods operations. By means of the control planned
there will unquestionably be much better utilization and less opportunity for
the continuation of wasteful practices which were difificult to control under war
conditions.

Timber Sales — 1946-47

Details of the 78 new sales of timber made during the season, indicate that
560 square miles of timber limits were sold.

During the season 53 timber licences, comprising 158.25 square miles, were
abandoned.

The status of the timber licensed areas in Ontario as at March 31st, 1947,
was therefore as follows:

and abandonments, is the result of adjustments in the areas of individual timber

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1948 15

DIXISION OF AIR SERVICE

General

During the fiscal period involved, the Service took out a Class 5 Licence
as issued by the Air Transport Board. This licence permits of our engaging in,
for hire, an>- t\pe of emergenc>- or philanthropic fixing, as well as a certain
limited amount of co-operation with timber operators.

New Construction and Expansion

Construction has been started on a splendid new addition to the Air Service
hangar and work shops. At the time of reporting, this work is well on its wax-
to completion.

The Department of Public Works built for the Department of Lands and
Forests, three new summer staff cottages at Orient Ba>-, as well as two at Port

Arthur and two at Geraldton for all-\ear-round occupanc\-.

The Air Service also constructed from materials which had been on hand
for a couple of years, one summer staft' cottage at Caribou Lake.

Equipment

Three new Norseman seaplanes were delix'ered in the earl\- spring of 1947.
One was lost on ojjcrations at Poshkokagan Lake duiing the summer.

The 1 )epartm(.-nt was able to interest a (^madian manufacturer in the
design and development of a semi-suppression bush seaplane, designed and
built to a specification laid down by our own Department. The Beaver is now
actualK- licensed for w heels, skis and fioats and is in i)roduclion. This se.iplane
gives ever\- evidence of unusualK' fine performance and the Department has
presenth' placed an order for twelve to be delivered as quickh' as the>- can be
manufactured.

During the same period, the I)e|)artment |)urch.isc-(l six w ai-suri)lus I l.u'xards
for the express i)urpose of recox'ering the engines, ijropellers and instruments.

A change has been made in icspect of servicing aircraft radio t-cpiiijuient.
Two specially trained men of the Radio .Section of the l)i\ision of i-'orest Pro-
tection were assigned to this important work; one with headquarters at Sault
Ste. Marie and the other at our Western Divisional Headquarters at Sioux
Lookout. .All aircraft radio ser\icinu was done l)\ these two men.

DEPARTAIEXT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1948 21

DIMSIOX OF FISH AXD WILDLIFE

Wildlife Management
Migratory Birds

The duck and goose population of Xorth America dropi)ed to a criticalh'
low le\'el in the winter of 1946-47.

The nimiber of da\"s shooting was cut from 23/^ months to 45 da\s. The
bag limit for ducks was cut from 12 per day to 7 per da>'. The seasonal bag
limit for ducks was removed and in its place a possession limit of 14 ducks was
established. The seasonal bag limit for geese was retained at 25, but a pos-
session limit of 15 was also enforced.

A spring woodcock census, along lines developed b\" the Dominion Wildlife
Ser\ice, was commenced this year.

Upland Game

The numbers and distribution of the various groujjs of pinnated grouse
on Manitoulin Island were studied and majjped during the sunmier.

Fur-Bearing Animals

Statistics regarding the actual harvest of \arious species are gi\-en at the
end of this report.

Introduced Wildlife

There was a general increase in the suppL' of pheasants in the whole Lake
Erie area, from X'iagara to \\^indsor. In the Toronto region, on the other
hand, pheasant populations remain very low. As the difference cannot be
accounted for b>" differences in the distribution of hatchery stock which was
spread over the whole area, it must be explained b\' a local improvement in the
suppK of wild-hatched birds, which is still not general over the pheasant area.

Hungarian Partridge are still not numerous enough to ]:)ro\-ide an open
season .

A sharp local decline in the numbers of European hare has focussed attention
on that species. It has hitherto not manifested an\' major fluctuations in
numbers. Because the decline is local it is hard to sa>' whether the cause is
natural fluctuations or intensive hunting, but the "jacks" are certainK not able
to stand up under heav\- hunting as well as the>' did in the past.

Control of Cormorants

Investigations carried out in 1946 rexealed that the population of Double-
crested Cormorants on the Great Lakes and Lake of the Woods had ver\ laigelx
increased during recent \ears. A circular report has been issued on this.

Trap-line Managemoit

During the 1947 Session the following new section w.is added to the (lainc
and I'isheries Act: —

8a — "A licence to trap fur-bearing animals on ( "row u lands shall be

(1) subject to such limitations as to territor\ and tin- number of fur-bear-
ing animals which ma\ be taken as the Minister max deem i)roper.

22 REPORT OF THE No. 3

(2) The Minister may limit the number of Hcences to be issued for any
area of Crown land. 1947, Amendment."

The purpose of this amendment was to give a legislative basis to the system
of trap-line management wherein the trapping on any one area is carried out by
one licensee only. Forms of licence and application were duly established by
regulation, and the way was cleared for registering trap-lines on Crown lands
in Ontario.

An essential feature of trap-line management is the adjustment of the take
of furs to the actual production. The basis for establishing this has to be a
knowledge of the number of animals. For beaver this information is easy to
obtain and is required from the trappers on their licence application form. A
quota can likewise be fixed in the annual open season. In order to consolidate
beaver management, the following section was added to the Act during the 1947
Session of the Legislature:

27 (la) "Beaver skins and pelts shall be sealed or marked by an officer
before sale, and no fur dealer or buyer shall have unsealed or unmarked beaver
skins or pelts in his possession. 1947, Amendment."

SerialK' numbered lock seals of the box-car seal t\pe have been provided.

A close estimate of the number of Trap-line Licences issued during the
1947-48 trapping season is 5,215. This includes approximately 2,000 licences
issued to Indian trappers on famih^ group trap-lines in the Patricia District
and 250 to Indian trappers north of Cochrane. The breakdown by districts is
as follows: —

District Trap-line Licences

Algonquin 40

Chapleaii 275

Cochrane 200+250 Indian

Fort Frances 125

Geraldton 100

Gogama 150

Kapuskasing 250

Parry Sound 100

Port Arthur 300

Quinte 125

Sault Ste. Marie 350

Sioux Lookout 250+2,000 Indian

Sudbury 200

2,965

On the whole the new regulations have worked out very well during the
past trapping season and considering the number of licences issued comparatively
few complaints have been received. Several minor changes to the regulations
were recommended at the recent Specialists and Indian Agents meetings which
can be put into effect in time for the next trapping season.

Co-operation with Wildlife Management Institute

The Department engaged in a pheasant scheme for Pelee Island in co-
operation with the Wildlife Management Institute, Washington, D.C.

DEPARTMENT OF LAXDS AXD FORESTS FOR 1948 23

Wildlife Propagaliou

Pheasants were raised under contract at the Department's farms at Xorman-
dale and Codrington. In addition, deficiencies in our requirements were made
up by purchase from private breeders. 22,000 pheasants were distributed.

Wildlife Harvest

Records returned b\' 161 hunters in the central "deer block" of Ontario
show a kill of 69 deer, or 1 per 2.2 hunters, about the same as last year. The
number of da\"s hunted was 1,201, so that 17 da\s were required to kill a deer,
on the average, or one more da\' than the length of the season. In Bruce Count>",
-47 hunters killed 27 deer in 237 da\s, which indicates somewhat better hunting.
Other records not tabulated show that deer hunting was best in Manitoulin
Island and near the Manitoba border. In some parts of the latter area an over-
population of deer is indicated. Detailed tabulation of voluntary returns for
biological anah'sis is deferred until their \-olume is great enough to give statisti-
cally useful figures.

There were 1,500 deer and 101 moose exported in 1947 through the port of
Sault Ste. Marie. Through ports in the Rain\- River District there were exported
304 moose, 3,860 deer, 188 bear and 2 caribou. The two caribou and an unknown
proportion of the other game originated west of Ontario.

On Xo. 11 Highway officers of the Department checked 9,570 returning
hunters from X'ovember 12 to 25th, including 1,359 non-residents. The\" had
killed 3,277 deer, 4 moose, 112 bears and 3 wolves. This makes 1 deer per 2.9
hunters, probabh' more accurate a figure than that obtained from the small
voluntar\- return sample, although it covers a smaller area.

Road patrols in the Haliburton and Peterborough county areas checked
1,478 hunters who had killed 787 deer, 27 bears and 1 wolf. This works out to
1 deer per 1.9 hunters. The voluntary return previoush' cited covers all the
areas touched by road checks, and the figures of 1 deer per 2.2 hunters and 1 per
2.7 hunters may be compared. The latter is certainly more accurate.

On Pelee Island there were 4,800 cock pheasants taken. Using the method
of estimation by the sex-ratio before and after the shoot, the total population of
pheasants on the island at the time of the shoot was 5,500 cock and 6,500 hen
pheasants, a total of 12,000.

The take of pheasants in the Toronto and Hamilton areas was extremeh'
light, probably as low as it has ever been, but the kill in the Lake Erie region
was higher than in years immediately preceding. The kill of ruffed grouse in
the Province was evidenth' much greater than 1946, so that the low period of
the grouse c\'cle ma\' be said to lia\e been [)assed.

Wildlife Surveys

During the summer two field parties carried out wildlife inventories of the
counties of Lambton and Durham. These were for the purpose of obtaining
accurate records of the condition of streams, j)onds, marshes, forests and fields
with respect to wildlife, and the local interrelationships of physiography and
land use with wildlife management.

Fur Fiirniing

During the calendar \ear 1947, 1,768 Fur Farmers' Licences were issued;

1,389 being renewals of previous licences; 346 for newly-established fur farms
and 33 licences were issued with retroactive provisions to legalize the possession
of fur-bearing animals during the previous year.

Departmental records show that during the fiscal year 1947-48, ranchers
disposed of the fox and mink production in the following manner:

Wolf Bounty

In accordance with the regulations made under The Wolf and Bear Bount\-
Act, 1946, certain changes with respect to wolf bount\- procedure were im-
plemented.

Effective November 1st, 1947, the District Foresters, other than those
located in counties, were appointed as officers authorized to accept and mark
wolf pelts that are i)roduced as evidence to support claims for bounty.

The pelts of wolves killed in counties continue to be marked at Head Office.

In investing District Foresters with this power, it was felt that the necessar\-
changes would modernize and bring wolf bount\- procedure in line with the
general policy of the Department in decentralising administration duties.

This change also carried with it benefits to all concerned, i.e., the applicant,
District Office and Head Office.

The wolf bount>- claim form was amended to embody the changes and
separate forms are now in use for claiming bount\- on wolves killed in counties
and on wolves killed in districts.

A change with respect to the payment of claims b\- Count\- Treasurers on
wolves killed in counties, was also implemented which provides a direct safeguard
to County Treasurers.

A uniform method of marking the pelts was adopted to ensure that the
same pelt could not be resubmitted for bounty in another district.

Under The WoU and Bear Bounty Act, 1946, a $25.00 bount\- on a timber
or brush wolf three months of age or over and a $5.00 bounty on a timber or
brush wolf under three months of age, is paid.

The following is a comparative statement showing annual wolf t)oinU\-
statistics for a period of five years, ending with the fiscal \ear 1947-48:

Commercial Fishing

A total of 2,421 commercial fishing licences were issued in Ontario for 1947
and the industry employed some 4,026 persons. The total production of all
species of fish from these licences was 24,922,420 pounds, bringing in a revenue
to the fishermen of S4. 803, 253. 97. In comparison the total catch for 1946 was
33.000,119 pounds and the revenue to the fishermen was $5,597,028.88. The
value of commercial fishing equipment, as reported for 1947, was $5,147,029.00.
This shows an increase of $383,251.00 over the previous year's value of equipment.

The overall picture of the market value of the catch to the fishermen for
the year 1947 showed a value of $4,803,253.97. This was a decrease of $793,774.91
as compared to the preceding year, 1946, which was $5,597,028.88. The decrease
in the catch of Lake Herring in Lake Erie undoubtedly pla\ed a big part in this
decline.

28 REPORT OF THE Xo. 3

Commercial Fishing Investigations

1. Baited Hook Lines — Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair

Investigations were carried out during the summer to determine the effect,
beneficial or otherwise, of the baited hooks, especiall}' catfish hooks, on (a)
angUng (b) other commercial fishing. The results of this investigation would
indicate that this is a suitable method for taking catfish and bullheads and does
not interfere, in general, with either angling or other commercial fishing.

The investigation in Lake St. Clair, where both catfish and sturgeon hooks
are fished, indicated the desirabilitA" of issuing onh- one licence to cover the taking
of both species of fish, rather than a separate licence for each species.

2. Trout Hooks — Georgian Bay

Some investigation of the operation of trout hooks in Georgian Bay was
carried out but insufficient information was obtained to warrant the drawing of
an>' conclusion.

3. Blue Pickerel and Perch Fishiytg — Lake Ontario

A short stud\ of this industry was made and the information obtained,
while very limited, has ])roved valuable and indicates the size of mesh suitable
for taking these fish in gill nets.

Pollution Investigations

The following waters were examined with reference to possible ix)llulion
Laurel Stream at \\'aterloo
Gengrich Stream at Baden
Canagagigue Stream at Baden
Speed River near Hespeler
Spanish River near Espanola
Seine River in Rainy Ri\er District
Nith River at Xew Hamburg
vSt. Lawrence River near (^ornwall
Xation Ri\er at Chesterville, and
Ottawa River near Ottawa.

32 REPORT OF THE Xo. 3

Biological Surveys

A creel census was commenced in the Kawartha Lakes area and intensive
studies were conducted on the maskinonge in its natural environment.

Studies were made on the establishment of sanctuaries for smallniouth bass
in the Georgian Bay region.

By checking the commercial fishermen's chub nets in Georgian Ba\- and
Lake Huron a surve\' was made to ascertain to what extent these nets catch
Lake Trout.

An investigation was conducted on East Lake, Prince Edward County, to
determine the effect of commercial hoop net fishing on the game fish.

A creel census was undertaken in Grey County to determine the proportion
of hatchery-reared speckled trout in the angler's catch.

A creel census programme was undertaken in the District of Thunder I3a\-.

The experiment on Round Lake, Renfrew County to determine the effect of
removal of coarse fish on the game fish population was continued. The lake was
fished heavily during the summer and a large number of coarse fish removed.

Operations for the control of the sea lamprey were continued.

During the past few >ears, a pound net was set in the causeway leading to
Osier Marsh in Lake Scugog, Ontario County, to control carp and stud>' maskin-
onge and bass.

During the summer, smallniouth bass adults were harvested from the
following waters: — Cook's Lake, Thunder Bay District; Fox Lake, Kenora
District; Little Gull Lake, Haliburton District; and Burnt Lake, Parry Sound
District.

In addition to these small mouth bass harvesting operations, one project
was undertaken for the transfer of largemouth bass and maskinonge from Xogies
Creek Sanctuary, Peterborough County.

Biological investigations were made on a number of lakes and streams with
a view to the establishment of a sound fish management plan. These were either
initial surveys or an extension of a previous one. The w^aters studied were as
follows: —

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1948 45

DIVISION OF LAND AND RECREATIONAL AREAS

The volume of work undertaken and completed in connection with the
administration of Crown lands has continued to increase. This is due to three
main factors: —

(1) A clean-up of a tremendous backlog of old cases which accumulated
over a period of a great many years.

(2) Economic conditions resulting in more people having more money to
buy Crown land, on the one hand, and more people having the abilit\-
financially to pay up old, long standing debts to the Crown and thereb}-
securing proper title.

(3) The employment of improved methods of dealing with land matters,
effected through the adoption and practical application of specific
regulations and by advanced training of Head Office and Field Office
personnel, in addition to the implementation of policy based on uni-
formity of action, simplicity and co-operation generally with and b>-
the public with whom we do business. The graphs and tables which
form part of this appendix do not necessarily reflect the volume of
work done, but show the number of transactions brought to final
completion.

Continued study has been given to better planning for the disposition
and public use of land for recreational, agricultural and other purposes
in the best interests of the people generally.

Agriculturdl and Allied Uses

Disposition of Crown land for these purposes continued at about the same
rate as the i)revious >ear.

Provincial Parks

ProN'incial Parks consist of:

Algonquin 2,741 Sq. Miles

Quetico 1,720 Sq. Miles

Lake Superior 540 .Sq. Miles

Sibley 63 -Sq. Miles

Kondeau 8 Sq. Miles

Ipl)erwash Beach 109 .Acres

DIMSIOX OF LAW

The following is the report of the eictivities of this Division for the period
from April 1, 1947, to March 31, 1948. The primar\ duties of the Division are as
indicated in the Administrative ("hart.

Amendments were made to seven Acts covering the administration of the
Department, as follows:

The Forest Fires Prevention Act was rewritten and amended in certain
respects, and is now so arranged that the various sections relate in themseK'es
to kindred matters.

The Crown Timber Act was amended principalh" with respect to the manu-
facturing conditions and to provide for regulations to be made b\" the Lieutenant-
Tjovernor in Council concerning wasteful practices in cutting operations.

There was an amendment to the Forestr\- Act to allow for creation b\' the
Lieutenant-Governor in Council of a Committee to be known as the ".Advisorx
Committee to the Minister of Lands and Forests."

Several amendments were made to the Game and Fisheries Act, with a view
to strengthening the provisions respecting conservation of game and fish
resources.

An amendment to the Public Lands Act allows the Lieutenant-Governor
in Council to make regulations to provide for free grants of public land up to
160 acres to former members of the forces.

There were minor amendments to the Lakes and Ri\ers Ln[)rovement
.Act and the Surve\s Act.

Approximate!) 2,300 intorniations were laid for infractions of the Game
and Fisheries Act, the Forest Fires Prevention Act and the Criminal Code. The
great majority of these concern offences respecting the Game and Fisheries
.\ct, and the ratio of convictions to acquittals was appro.ximateh' 99 to 1.

X'arious field trips were made 1)\ the Chief of the Dixision during the \ear,
and meetings with the enforcement officers in the Cochrane and Oiiinte Districts
were held. Round-table discussions resulted in [)enefit to the enforcement officers
and also brought to the attention of the Law Dixision practical difficulties en-
countered b\- the field men in enforccmenl matters. \aUi.ible suggestions respect-
ing amendments resulted, and it is anticijjated that this t\ pe of discussion will be
continued until all the Districts have been covered.

Classes dealing with the statutes, re;^ulalions and entorcemeiU matters were
held at the Ranger .School.

58 REPORT OF THE Xo. 3

Selection and Placement

As of December 1st, 1947, Air. K. Acheson, Regional Forester of the Western
Region, moved his headquarters from Sioux Lookout to Kenora. By Circular
M-17, issued January 9th, 1948, E. L. Ward, Regional Forester of the Northern
Region, was transferred to North Bay as Regional Forester of the Central
Region, and A. S. Bray, District F"orester of the Cochrane District, was trans-
ferred to Kapuskasing as Regional Forester of the Northern Region as well as
District Forester of Cochrane and Kapuskasing Districts.

As of March 1st, 1948, J. M. Whalen was appointed District Forester at
Chapleau, and F. J. Dawson was appointed District Forester for the new District
of Timiskaming.

Information' and Education

Public interest in the conservation of natural resources is increasing con-
stantly, as indicated b)' the number of enquiries b\- letter, telephone and per-
sonal calls.

The Information and Txlucation office concentrated again in the past >ear
in appeals for greater care on the part of the public in the pre\-ention of forest
fires and observance of fish and game laws.

Publications

Ten new booklets were published during the year, and ten others were
reprinted with revisions. Six issues of the magazine Sylva, The Lands and
Forests Review, were issued bi-monthl\-, as compared with quarterh- in the
previous year.

Lecture Tours

Lecture tours were again successful in furthering the interests of conserva-
tion to the public.

One picture, "Timagami Ranger", produced in the previous year, was made
available for ])ublic showing.

Pictures available from outside sources on the subject of fish and wildlife
are lacking in an\- real appeal for conservation.

The following table gives the record of lecture tours during the past >ear.
It will be noted that our pictures were shown to approximately (159,975), nearly
twice as man\- people as in the previous year (83,471).

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND FORESTS FOR 1948 63

DIMSION OF REFORESTATION

Distribution of Trees

The year under re\'ie\v was similar to the previous six \ears in that tree
production was still relati\ely low as a result of curtailment of nurser\- work
during the war. Total distribution of trees was 12,269,533, of which approxi-
mately 7,000,000 were distributed to pri\-ate landowners, 3,150,000 trees were
planted on municipal and authority- forests, 250,000 on roadside planting, about
20,000 on school demonstration plots, and just under 1,275,000 on various
classes of Crown land. The remaining 400,000 were classed as semi-public
and extraneous. A cross-section study of private plantations indicates the need
for more intensive work on the choice of species to plant, and the methods of
planting on heav>- and wet lands. Studies along these lines are being carried out.

Mil 11 icipa I Reforestd tion

A start has been made during the past two years to make thinnings in
municipal plantations. Man\- of these are now approaching twenty-h\'e \ears
of age and require thinning out in order to achieve a better development of the
stand. Several hundred cords of pit-props have been removed and sold to the
British Government. Some pulpwood has been sold from these plantations
and it is expected that the thinnings for this market will increase rapidly.

Studies are being conducted into the methods of thinning plantations to
achieve the best jjossible economy-, and at the same time allo\\' for the best
development of the stand.

This \ear saw the continued development of mechanical tree i:)lanters,
which are overcoming the shortage of seasonal laboiu- normalK' used for this
purpose. These machines have proved of considerable value in the i)lanting of
large open fields, where they can put in an axerage of approximateK' 10,000 trees
per da>'. The\- are also effccti\e in reducing the (-ost of i)lanting \-cry con-
siderably.

Several counties made land purchases, increasing the area of land under
the Municipal Reforestation .\ct. The increases were roughly as follows:
Prescottand Russell Counties ajiproximateh- 1,000 acres; Durham and Northum-
berland Counties, 282 acres; \'ictoria County, 701 acres; ^'ork County, 354 acres;
Simcoe Count\-, 696 acres; Grey Count>-, 750 acres; Bruce Count \, 2,469 acres.

The Ganaraska Authoritx acquired a further 1,328 acres, increasing the
size of Ganaraska I'orest to 1,968 acres.

64

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

Provincial Forest Stations

Development work continued on the two new nurseries at Port Arthur
and Kemptville. These nurseries will have small quantities of trees ready for
shipping in the spring of 1949. Additional areas have been added at St. Williams
and Orono nurseries, and development of these properties continues.

Xew machinery is rapidh' being developed for the greater mechanization of
nurseries. Amongst the first new types to be put into oi^eration are the
mechanical transplanters, which are now in use at Midhurst and Orono.

The following tables furnish details of nurser>' tree distribution.

1. — Rege>ienilinn Surveys and Other Forestry Work

Sur\'e>s of this t\|)e were carried out in the Kenora and Thunder Ba\
Regions and Lake Abitihi Area during 1947. Work in the Thunder Ba\ -Kenora
Regions, principalh concerned with jack pine and white spruce, was under the
general direction of A. P. Leslie and Held direction of 11. C. Larsson and .\. V .
L\ on.

68

REPORT OF THE

No. 3

Mr. a. p. Leslie of the Division of Research Loading Apparatus Used in
Aircraft for Planting Seed by Air

DEPARTMENT OF LANDS AND F^ORESTS FOR 1948 69

A similar stud\- under the general direction of A. P. Leslie and field direction
of D. H. Burton was made in the clay belt area adjacent to Lake Abitibi.

An opportunit>" was presented here to re-examine some 43 plots established
during 1925 following various t\pes of logging. The report of the survey has
been completed and issued as Report No. 16.

A stud\' of Red pine seeding habits under Dr. George Duff was continued
this year.

Tree breeding under Dr. C. C. Heimburger is concerned with the pro-
duction of a rapid-growing hybrid aspen of good color and pulping qualities
and resistant to disease.

During the >'ear, over one thousand acres of burned forest land in Sault
Ste. Marie and the Tweed and Parry Sound districts were seeded from the air,
under the direction of A. P. Leslie, using seed coated with fertilizers, rodent
repellents, fungicides, etc. This was a follow-up of work started in 1946.

Slash on about 400 acres of cut-over land on Shiningwood Ba>-, Lake
Timagami, was piled and burned, and broadcast burned after October 1, 1947.
Prices of $1.00 per thousand for broadcast burning and $6.00 per thousand for
complete cleaning of an area carrying a stand of 15 thousand per acre were
established.

2. — Growth II nd Yield Studies

This survey was under the direction of M. A. Ardenne and has pro\-ided
an assessment of growth conditions on white and red pine in the Ottawa \'alle>'.

3. — Soil Surveys

The soil surve\s, directed In Mr. (i. A. Hills, aiming at a preliminar\- classi-
fication and separation of agricultural and forest lands started during 1944,
were continued b\' the Division.

4. — Fisheries Investigations

Fisheries studies under Dr. V . li. J. Fry of the University of Toronto were
e.xpanded in 1947 b\- the initiation of the South Bay experiment. This project
has been organized in co-oj)eration with the F'ederation of Commercial Fishermen.
The anticipated duration of the test will ajjproximate five to ten years. I-^ield
laboratories and working space are practicalK completed at .South I?a\
Mouth.

The other fisheries ])rojects can onl\' be listed here witli brief conunents
on each.

70 REPORT OF THE Xo. 3

Algonquin Park

Studies of plankton in Algonquin Park in artiticialh' fertilized and un-
fertilized lakes.

Studies of water temperature and chemical content of water in relation to tish.

Creel census.

Thunder Bay and Fort Frances Area

Netting of coarse fish from certain lakes in Sible>- Peninsula to iiscertain
effect on game fish population. Introduction of bass and other game fish to
suitable lakes in the same area.

Creel census to determine catch of \arious species.

5. — Wildlife Studies

This project under Mr. Diivid Fowle was mainly carried on in Algonquin
Park. The principal aim was to devise a satisfactory method of assessing small
mammal, particularly rodent populations, and determining their effect on and
response to the forest environment.

6. — Valuation of Effect of Smelter Fumes on Forest Growth.

This is a continuation of the survey started in 1944 to determine the extent
and degree of the forest damage caused by smelter fumes. Sampling by airplane
in the air and on the surface of lakes was continued and new automatic recorders
were set up.

7 — Building and Mechanical Electrical Development

During the year, a fisheries research building, incorporating the unique
"artificial lake", was almost completed and a well giving 200 Imperial gallons
per minute to supply water for this project was completed. This artificial lake,
which is a cylindrical enclosed tank, will have provision made for refrigeration
or warming, or addition of oxygen and other gases so that the effect of any of
these factors on fish ma>- be studied. The results when applied to fish planting
and other practical projects should be valuable.

The mechanical section produced an infra-red cone dr\er for tree seed
production.

The section also manufactured an aerial seeder for use in reforesting burned
areas from the air and a machine for applying coatings, containing fertilizers,
fungicides, rodent repellents, etc., to the seed to increase chances of survival.

A power pruner for count}- forests was also made to order for the Division
of Reforestation.

DIVISION OF TIMBER MANAGEMENT

The Division of Timber Management is primarily concerned with the
proper utiHzation of Crown timber. The immense timber resources of the
Province, if they are to be intelHgently used, require an intimate and scientific
knowledge of what timber is growing throughout the Province and what has
reached the stage where it should be harvested. With this in mind a Forest
Inventor}' is now in progress and is reported on herein.

The proper utilization of timber which has been sold is also of the utmost
importance and under present management plans (with the co-operation of the
operators) progress is being made in this regard. This is also reported on.

Conditions for lumbering were favourable throughout the 1947-48 season
and production of forest products was maintained.

Complete figures for 1947-48 production are not available at this time but a
statement of timber cut 1946-47 and returned in 1947 is shown on Page 84,
Table 1. Statements showing production by administrative districts of the
Province for the season 1946-47 are also shown on Pages 85-99, Tables 2 to 2o
inclusive.

Other activities of the Di\-ision are reported on herein, including:

Timber areas sold \ear ending March 31, 1948.

Mills Licensed.

Results of Scaler's examinations.

Timber agreements consummated.

FOREST RESOURCES INVENTORY
Annual Report Fiscal Year ending March 31, 1948

The resources inventory project started in the previous fiscal year was well
under way at the commencement of the year. Photograph}- completed during
the \ear amounted to 46,043 square miles under contract and 6,681 square miles
by the Department staff, making a total of 52,724 square miles for the entire
programme.

MANACRMFNT PLANS AND CONTROL

During the fiscal year 1947-48 increasing activit>- has been in evidence in
connection with the preparation of management plans. The photographs and
planimetric base maps supplied b\- the I3epartment have been of great assistance
in providing basic control and in speeding up the coverage of the forest area in
the surve\s required to f)r()(luce the management jilans. The majority of the
agreement holders are acti\'el\' engaged in the preparation of forest in\'entories
and management ]:)lans although there has been some difficult}' in obtaining
adequate personnel to carr\' on this work. As a result of issuing the manual of
requirements for these plans, more satisfactory and uniform reports are being
submitted.

DIVISION OF ACCOUNTS

General

The financial report sets out a substantial increase — $3,802,190.00 — in ex-
penditure appropriation of the Department as compared with the previous year. This
increased appropriation was required for:

(1) Suppression of forest fires

(2) Salvaging of fire killed timber

(3) Air Service expansion

(4) Cost of Living Bonus to employees.

There was an increase in the cash receipts — $952,833.59 — as compared with
the previous year. Revenue for the year reached a new high in the history of the
Department, due to increased receipts from sale of fish and game licenses, and from
sale of Crown timber.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. .

DIVISION OF AIR SERVICE

General

The fire hazard in the summer of 1948 was one of the worst encountered in
several years and taxed our resources to the limit in certain localities. In other areas,
considerable purchased flying was required because of the size and extent of the fires
involved.

Normal relations were maintained with the Department of Transport in respect
of the operation of our aircraft and our responsibilities in respect of the Class V
licence issued early in the year.

The Division of Air Service has working arrangements with the Departments
of Health, Mines, Public Works and the Provincial Police, and carried out all flying
requisitions for these Departments as required.

This flying included the carrying of Police officials on investigations, flying of
prisoners from remote areas, servicing of geological parties under the Department of
Mines, transportation of Inspectors for the Department of Public Works, mercy
flights enabling emergency care for the Department of Health and so forth.

Some additional flying was also done for the Department of Highways, in-
cluding transportation of their Inspectors and Senior Officials and for the Department
of Attorney-General in the transportation of Judicial officials for the purpose of hold-
ing court in remote areas. Flying was also carried out on co-operative projects with
Federal Departments of Indian Affairs and Entomology.

New Construction and Expansion

The new hangar building, started by the Department of Public Works in 1947,
was brought almost to completion during the fiscal year under review. Apart from
some very small items which are in critical supply, the work can be considered com-
pleted. The addition is very welcome and now provides storage space for some fifty
aeroplanes if required.

The Department of Public Works also constructed for the Air Service, staff
housing accommodation at Parry Sound, Sudbury, Oba Lake, Gogama and Chapleau.
Further accommodation is required at Eva Lake and other points at which the Depart-
ment may decide to establish Air Service bases.

Equipment

In the fall of 1947, an order was placed with the DeHavilland Aircraft Company
of Canada for twelve Beaver aircraft. These were all delivered during the fiscal period
under review. As these aeroplanes were delivered, they were put in service and per-
formed very creditably throughout the entire summer. Their outstanding take-off and
climb performance enables them to operate out of much smaller bodies of water than
has ever been the case with any seaplane used by the Department before this time.
In order to procure the best type of aerial fire fighting equipment for the Department,
it was decided to sell off much of our old and semi-obsolete equipment and replace it
with the new and much more efficient Beaver type. To completely accomplish this
purpose, a further order for fifteen of these aircraft was given to the DeHavilland
Company late in 1948, and three were delivered before the freeze-up period. The
balance of the order will be delivered for the opening of the 1949 fire season.

14

No. 3

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

A pilot and engineer begin preparation for a take-off during iiinter flying operations. Patrols
are maintained to uncover poaching and illegal cutting of timber.

15

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. 3

Additional equipment was supplied by the Department of Public Works in
the form of new machinery for our tool room; new test equipment for our instrument
and accessory departments; a plating and battery room for use in their respective
fields; and the Service purchased out of its own appropriation, a water spray booth for
the dope room.

During the period involved, the Department purchased another six war surplus
Anson aircraft which were dismantled for recovery of engines, propellers and instru-
ments intended for later use in Beaver aircraft.

Winter Operations

Winter operations were materially extended in the winter of 1948-1949. Beaver
aircraft were operated from Toronto, Algonquin Park, Sudbury, Gogama, Chapleau,
Geraldton, Eva Lake and Sioux Lookout, and one Norseman each was also operated
at Port Arthur and Sioux Lookout. Much of the winter work involved was for the
Division of Fish and Wildlife in the supervision of their interests and the sealing of
beaver pelts, but work was also performed for other Divisions of the Department, as
well as other Departments of Government as required. Little or no difficulty was
encountered on winter operations and it is expected that the same complement will
operate next year, with some possible additions.

Maintenance of Service Buildings

Normal maintenance of all Service property was carried out as usual. Painting
and normal repairs were undertaken where necessary in order to keep our property
to a proper standard.

Accidents

I regret to report that one fatal accident involving the late pilot H. W.
Westaway occurred at Parry Sound in ^lay, 1948. We also lost one Norseman in an
accident at Caribou Lake in September, but no fatalities occurred in this latter
accident.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. 3

DIVISION OF FISH AND WILDLIFE

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT:

General

Hunting pressure on big game species has increased steadily in recent years.
A special study of moose hunting revealed a concentration of hunting in remaining
accessible areas of moose abundance.

Upland game species showed gratifying increases and the open season on grouse
was extended. An exception in this case is the European hare (jack rabbit) which
is scarcer than at any time since it first became generally distributed in southern
Ontario.

Fur-bearing animals were generally in satisfactory numbers. Lynx, fisher and
marten are still scarce, however, and a close season was established on marten. A
serious die-off of beaver took place in the Severn River drainage of Patricia District,
from causes not yet definitely established.

Trap-Line Management

The organization of registered trap-lines under trap-line licence was extended
to Patricia District, where practically all trappers are Indians. The number of trap-
line licenses issued during the year was 4,736, of which 3,008 were issued to Treaty
Indians.

Co-operation With Wildlife Management Institute

The Department continued to co-operate in the Wildlife Management
Institute's Pheasant studies on Pelee Island.

Restocking

A total of 42,650 pheasants were distributed from Departmental bird farms.
Of these 6,266 were day-old chicks. Subsequent care and release of all birds was
generally carried out by rural municipalities.

Fur Farming

The recession in the raw fur market which occurred during the latter part
of 1946, continued in 1948, and became progressively worse for the fox rancher. It
is attributed to the lack in popularity and demand for long-haired furs and the over-
abundance of inferior quality pelts which have flooded the market and forced prices
down. Two main factors have been responsible in enabling fox ranchers to withstand
the recession and remain in business, namely, the protection afforded under The
Agricultural Products Co-operative Marketing Act, and the fact that many of these
ranchers were also producing mink for which fair prices were received. However,
mink pelt prices have been on a gradual decline and have now reached the point
where prices received for average to good quality standard mink, have been only
slightly above production costs. In addition, the rancher has been faced with an
increase in production costs during the recession of from 20% to 25%.

The general condition of the industry was reflected in a net decrease of 85
ranches in the Province, during 1948. The total number of licenses issued was 1,694
with 1,421 beings renewals of previous licenses, 229 for newly established ranches,
many of which covered only a few mink, and 44 licenses were issued with retroactive
provisions to legalize the possession of fur-bearing animals during the previous year.

Bear Bounty

A resume of the conditions on which bear bounty is paid under The Wolf and
Bear Bounty Act, is as follows. A $10.00 boimty is paid on an}- bear 12 months of
age or over, and a $5.00 bounty on any bear under 12 months of age, which was
killed between April 15th and November 30th, in a township of which 25 'y of the
total area is devoted to agriculture and which is located in the counties and districts
described in the regulations made under the Act. The Act further specifies that the
bear must be killed in defence or preservation of livestock or property, by a bona
fide resident of the township.

It is felt that the marked decrease in the number of bears killed during the
last two fiscal years, is due to the natural fluctuation in bear population.

A total of 494 claims on 592 bears and 67 cubs, were considered by the
Department. Of these, 19 claims representing 20 bears and 4 cubs, were refused
for failure to comply with the Act or regulation.

A breakdown showing the number of adult bears and cubs on which bounty
was paid in the counties and districts specified by regulation, for years shown, follows.

ENFORCEMENT

The Fish and Wildlife Division is responsible for the administration and
enforcement of the following legislation and regulations, viz: The Game and Fisheries
Act, and the Regulations adopted in accordance with the provisions thereof; The
Special Fishery Regulations for the Province of Ontario, provided under The Fisheries
Act (Canada) by the Federal Government with the approval of the Province; and
the Migratory Birds Convention Act and Regulations, also a Federal enactment.

Patrol services to assure that the provisions of these various enactments and
regulations are obeyed throughout the Province are carried out by a staff of Con-
servation Officers. These Officers, in their respective areas, are under the immediate
control and supervision of the District Foresters in charge and the Fish and Wildlife
Inspectors assigned for duty in the twenty-one districts into which the Province is

32

Xo. 3

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

divided. Quite an appreciable degree of co-operation in this work of enforcement
is provided by members of the Ontario Provincial Police force, local municipal police
forces, and by interested sportsmen under the authority of appointments as honorary
deputy game wardens. Members of the regular staff of Conservation Officers are
expected to carry out their duties in an efficient and effective manner, and to be
courteous to those with whom they come into contact in the course of their general
work.

In our efforts to provide a satisfactory and beneficial degree of enforcement
it is difficult to estimate the value of the assistance and co-operation which is derived
from the extensive campaign of education and publicity provided by the many local
organizations interested in the protection and conservation of our fish and game
resources. It is perhaps superfluous to reiterate the appreciation which is felt by
those in charge of this branch of the administration.

In addition, it is a branch of the service in which we are fortunate to have
associated with us in the work those who perform their duties with the idea that
effective service will maintain our natural resources in such a condition that they
will in future years provide a measure of enjoyment for our own residents as well

as for the thousands of visitors from outside our boundaries who annually visit this
great Province for a period of rest and healthful recreation. Without such attractions
to stimulate and develop this traflic within Ontario our loss from the financial
standpoint would be inconceivable.

It has been necessary that Conservation Officers, in the course of their patrols,
should provide action in the case of those with whom they have come into contact
while in the act of committing some infraction of our legislation and regulations.
Such action has been subsequently followed by prosecution, and the statistical details
which follow will indicate in a degree some of the activities of these officers and the
results which have accrued therefrom.

Seizures

During the annual period covered by this review, extending from April 1, 1948,
to March 31, 1949, an examination of our records maintained in the Enforcement
Section reveals the following information.

There was a total of 2,915 cases in which equipment was seized by reason of
the fact that the same was being used in various ways which apparently constituted
infractions of the legislation and regulations.

Table No. 12
Details of the officers who were responsible for these seizures are as follows, viz: —

Conservation Officers — - 2,713 cases

Provincial Police Constables - - - IS cases

Deputy Game Wardens 3 cases

Joint Action:

Conservation officers and O.P.P - 16

Conservation officers and D.G.W. - 162

Conservation officers and Municipal Police - 6

184 cases

2,915 cases

In 280 of these cases the seizures were made from unknown persons, prin-
cipally involving traps and fishing gear which were set in an unlawful manner, and
in which cases it was impossible for the officers concerned to develop definite evidence
regarding the ownership of these articles. The seized equipment in these cases was
confiscated to the Crown.

Table No. 13
The articles seized in these 2,915 cases included: —

Game animals (or portions)

and birds in 319 cases Traps and snares in 224 cases

Firearms in 1,292 cases Water craft in 44 cases

Fish in 389 cases Outboard motors in — — 11 cases

Charges were laid against violators in a total of 2,601 cases in which infractions
of the legislation and regulations it is our duty to administer and enforce had either
been witnessed or disclosed upon investigation.

In 2.302 cases, convictions were registered by the presiding magistrates before
whom the respective charges were heard. Charges were dismissed due to lack of
evidence in 106 cases. In the remaining 193 cases the charges were withdrawn.

It may be of interest to relate that while quite a large percentage of these
cases constituted infractions of but a minor nature, there were many deliberate viola-
tions in which, following prosecution and conviction of the offenders, severe penalties
were imposed, important amongst which were:

(a) Illegal taking and possession of beaver

(b) Unlawful hunting and trapping in Provincial Parks and Crown Game
Preserves

(c) Assaulting and obstructing officers

(d) Illegal killing of cow moose

36

A'o. 3 Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

(e) Possession of gill nets without proper authority

(f) Operating gill nets without a licence.

General

The Game and Fisheries Act provides that articles "used in violation of this
Act and found in the possession of any person suspected of having committed an
offence against this Act shall be seized, and upon conviction, be forfeited to and
become the property of the Crown in right of Ontario and sold by the Department''.

In many cases in which articles are seized following offences, particularly
where such offences are of a minor character, the persons concerned, following dis-
position of the charges which were laid, have been provided with an opportunity to
redeem the articles seized from them on payment of a specified fee assessed by the
Department for the return of such articles. This arrangement applies principally
to firearms and fishing tackle.

However, there is a percentage of offences in which the circumstances are
sufficiently serious to warrant the definite confiscation to the Crown of the seized
articles. These confiscated articles are disposed of by the Department at annual
public sales.

Four such sales were conducted by the Department during the period under
review, a fishing tackle sale in May. fur sales in May and July, and a sale of firearms
in October.

Table No. 20
.\mounts realized from sales of these articles were as follows:

May fishing tackle sale $ 927.01

May fur sale — confiscated furs 5,639.90

July fur sale — -- - - — 5,643.50

October sale of firearms — 3,304.43

Total $15,514.84

During the period under review Conservation Officers numbering close to
200, in the course of their operations, and in addition to a multiplicity of other duties,
performed the following services:

1. Seized equipment in 2,915 cases, 208 of which covered persons unknown, and
involved traps and fishing gear unlawfully set.

2. Prosecuted some 2,585 cases and obtained convictions in 2.286.

3. Obtained fines totalling $47,98.S.

4. Realized $15,514.84 from the sale of confiscated articles.

5. Travelled well over 2.000,000 miles using every available means of transportation,
to ensure law observance.

6. Aided in the distribution of millions of fish and the re-stocking of thousands of
pheasants.

7. Spent a great deal of time — after hours, working with organized groups in the
interests of conservation.

GAMK FISH AXD HATCHERIES

During the year, twenty-seven hatcheries and rearing stations were in opera-
tion. Dorion. one of our largest trout rearing stations, which was closed for two

37

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. 3

years for renovation and improvement, is in full operation again. It is one of the
largest and most modern rearing stations of its kind on the continent.

Good progress was made in the culture and distribution of the various species
of fish reared in our hatcheries. The total output of fish this year was decidedly
greater than the output during any one of the three preceding years. Generally speak-
ing, the game fish distribution was unchanged during the past few years, but there
was a decidedly good increase in the distribution of the commercial fish, notably
yellow pickerel.

Biological Projects

(a) The creel census which was commenced last year in the Kawartha Lakes
area was continued. Intensive studies were made on the maskinonge in its natural
environment.

(b) Studies were made on the establishment of more sanctuaries for small-
mouth bass in the Georgian Bay region.

(c) The creel census was continued in Grey county to determine the propor-
tion of hatchery-reared trout in the angler's catch. The specific waters investigated
were, Eugenia Hydro Pond. Williams Lake and sections of the Sydenham River.

(d) The creel census programme was continued on a few waters in the
Thunder Bay district. A considerable number of lake trout fingerlings were marked
by fin-clipping, prior to their release in Lake Superior (Rossport area) and in two
inland lakes, namely, Oliver and Arrow in the Port Arthur district. This project will
be continued for a number of years.

(e) Nets were operated on the following waters for the removal of undesirable
species:

Nonquon River Round Lake Wolfe Lake

Lake Scugog Marsh Bob's Lake Sand Lake

Westport Pond

(f) During the summer months, smallmouth black bass, largemouth black
bass and maskinonge adults were distributed in suitable waters from netting
operations conducted on the following sites:

Nogies Creek Little Gull Lake Westport Pond

Salmon Lake Fox Lake Cook Lake

(g) Experimental operations were conducted on Trout Lake for the collection
of lake trout and ouananiche spawn, and on Lake Bernard for the taking of Kamloops
trout spawn.

(h) Operations for the control of the sea lamprey were continued. A number
of weirs were set in selected streams flowing into the North Channel. Further studies
of this problem are being continued.

(i) Small experimental projects were conducted (1) on the Nottawasaga
River for assisting rainbow trout over the dam, and (2) on the Thames River for
transferring pickerel and bass to the upper river.

(j) Studies relating to the re-establishing of the Atlantic salmon in Lake
Ontario were continued in Duffin Creek at Pickering.

(k) Further studies were continued on the relationship of commercial fishing
and angling in Long Point Bay. This project will be continued for several years.

COMMERCIAL FISHERIES

During the calendar year ending December 31, 1948, the commercial catch
of fish totalled 28,941,791 lbs. and the total value was $5,735,072.72. Comparison
with the catch of 1947 shows an increase of 16.1% or 4,019,371 lbs. and an increased
return to the fishermen to the amount of $931,818.75. On the other hand, value of
equipment used increased from $5,147,029 in 1947 to $5,716,075 in 1948, an increase
of $569,046. Additional stocks of gear on hand and increased costs of twine, etc.
would appear to be the cause of this.

It is notable that there was an increase in catch of all species of fish except
herring, mixed and coarse, perch and pike. With reference to herring, attention
should be drawn to the fact that it was expected that the Lake Erie catch would
continue to decline since the enormous catches of previous years had been largely
of one year-class of these fish and this year-class is now passing out of the fishery.
Thus, while the total catch of herring was 1,790,747 lbs. less than in 1947, the drop
in the Lake Erie catch was 1,881,082 lbs. for that same period.

The most outstanding increases in catch were in blue pickerel and whitefish.
More than 5^ million pounds of blue pickerel were taken, with a resultant increase
over the previous year of 4,031,445 lbs. All but 41,983 lbs. of these fish were taken
in Lake Erie. The whitefish catch amounted to 6^ million lbs. and represents an
increase of 1,598,172 lbs. over the 1947 catch. It is to be noted that increases in the
whitefish catch were shown for all waters in which this species is taken with the
exception of Lake Ontario. Of particular significance are the increased catches of
whitefish in the North Channel and Lake Huron, where fishing has fallen off badly
in the past seven years. The catch of 537,939 lbs. of whitefish in Lake Huron is the
largest recorded for the Lake since 1920. While the catch from Georgian Bay shows
an increase over that for 1947, it still falls far below the catches of previous years.

Another point of interest is that all the waters of Ontario, with the exception
of Northern Inland waters and Lake St. Clair, .show an increase in total catch over
1947 and in all waters except Lake Ontario an increase in catch value is shown.

Closukf. of W.atfks During Spawning Season

In the fall of 1948, part of Georgian Bay was closed to angling and com-
mercial fishing. This closure was to have been in effect from October 25, 1948, to
December 31, 1948, and included all waters of the Georgian Bay south of an
imaginary straight line drawn from Cape Commodore in the Township of Keppel,

41

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

No. 3

County of Grey, on the west, to Gidley Point in the Township of Tiny. County of
Simcoe, on the east. Actually, closure was effective from November 11, to the end
of the year. The purpose of this closure was the protection of Lake Trout during
spawning season.

Investigations

During the summer of 1948, a study of the relation of pike to other fish species
in the Bay of Quinte Area was carried out. This study was especially concerned with
the availability and desirability of the pike in the anglers' catch and with the effect
of the commercial catch of this species from the anglers' point of view.

Angling pressure and commercial fishing pressure were assessed. It is hoped
to continue these studies in 1949.

Investigations were carried out in Northern Inland Waters in an effort to
assess the amount of parasitic infestation of whitefish.

Commercial fishing operations, under close Departmental supervision, were
started in Bigstone Bay of Lake of the Woods, in order to determine if fishing
pressure against the non-game-fish species would improve the angling in these waters
which have been closed to all commercial fishing for many years.

During the year consideration was given and discussions were held with
reference to:

(1) Readjustment of boundary between the Essex and Kent County line as
it affects gill-net fishermen.

(2) Use of trap-nets in Lake Erie.

(3) Mesh of gill-nets to be used in Lake Superior for catching Lake Trout.

rOLLUTION

Pollution investigations in 194S were limited by the fact that no suitable field
men were available for this work. Some investigations were carried out however
at the Nation River in Dundas County and Effingham and St. John's Streams in
Welland and Lincoln Counties.

PROTECTION

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. 3

DIVISION OF FOREST PROTECTION

FIRE AND HAZARD CONDITIONS

The 1948 fire season was one of the most severe on record. During May and
June, extremely bad burning conditions prevailed across the Province, particularly
in the area north of Georgian Bay. During July and August, rains alleviated the
situation considerably, but in September, drought conditions again prevailed and
severe lightning storms occurred particularly in the Central Region. The drought
conditions lessened in the eastern half of the Province during October but became
worse in the western part, particularly in Rainy Lake area and along the Ontario-
Manitoba boundary. This condition obtained until November 10th when fall rains
and colder weather brought the fire season to a close.

Two fires which broke out on ]\Iay 25th in the ^vlississagi Provincial Forest
burned a total of 645,340 acres or 63 -r of the total area burned over and accounted
for 76 '^t of the total timber damage.

FIRE CONTROL PLANNING

Progress in fire control planning during the year included the following
projects.

1. Installation of 15 additional weather stations and improvement of existing
stations. This brings the total number of main weather recording stations to
73 and the number of supplementary stations to 57.

2. First edition of a manual "Instructions for Rating the Fire Danger and Laying
out Fire Weather Stations'' was completed, printed, and issued.

3. First edition of a manual "Fuel Type Mapping Instructions'' was completed,
printed and issued.

4. First edition of a manual "Area Seen flapping Instructions" was completed,
printed and issued.

5. The fire report form was completely revised and brought up to date.

6. The "Area Seen Survey" was continued with five men taking part. This survey
was completed and a report on the present tower system in the province on the
basis of this survey was compiled.

7. Basic data required in fire control planning was compiled for the province. This
included the zones of constant fire danger, accessibility map, fire occurrence
map, climatic data, soil moisture conditions, etc.

8. The transportation plan, particularly for the less accessible areas in the province,
was completely revised and brought up to date.

9. The detection plan for the province was revised and brought up to date.
10. The use of the portable tower for tower location work was continued.

HAZARD DISPOSAL

The fire guard at Larder Lake was extended by thirty acres and thirty-five
acres at Kearns Townsite was cleared. The work was carried out by a local firm
and the cost credited to their account for timber dues.

j^o. 3 Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

INSECT CONTROL

The Department again co-operated with the Dominion Department of Agri-
culture in the forest insect survey and in entomological research.

EXPENDITURES

The total expenditures on fire protection for the year, excluding the cost of
Administration and Air Service, was $3,257,421.17. The amount of fire tax collected
from woods operators was S440.0 10.56. Miscellaneous revenue amounted to
$48,330.64.

Division of

LAND

and

RECREATIONAL
AREAS

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. 3

DIVISION OF LAND AND RECREATIONAL AREAS

The continued application of rejiulations and policy, which are constantly
brought up to date to effect improved administrative practice, has again resulted in
bringing to a finalization a great number of cases with increased dispatch and
efficiency. The graphs and tables forming part of this section show the volume and
work completed. An increase in some forms of land use is indicated, while there was
a decrease in others over the previous year. This is due to several factors. In the
case of summer resorts the demand remained about the same but it was possible to
finalize more applications by reason of being able to get more surveys completed.
In the case of land use permits, the increase is due primarily to the fact that occupa-
tion of land by this method of tenure is preferable to lease or licence of occupation,
and the cost of administration is only a fraction of that of the last two mentioned.
The decreases indicated are largely the result of clean-up of old cases during the
past few years, excepting in the case of free grant locations which were discontinued
in 1942, except to ex-service personnel.

Licensing of Tourist Outfitters' Camps

Prior to 1936. there was no licensing of Tourist Outfitters' Camps, whereas
now, all Commercial Tourist Outfitters' Crimps in the Province are licensed by either
the Department of Travel and Publicity or the Department of Lands and Forests.
Camps not classified as Tourist Outfitters' north of the railroad from Parry Sound
to Pembroke are licensed by the Department of Travel and Publicity. These Licences
are issued by the Municipal Clerks in organized territory, who retain the fee, and by
the Provincial Police in unorganized territory. The fee is $5.00 for the first licence
and $2.50 for renewal.

The Legislation of the Department of Travel and Publicity covers the entire
Province, but that Department exempts those camps north of the Railroad from
Parry Sound to Pembroke licensed as Tourist Outfitters" Camps by this Department.

DIVISION OF LAW

The following is a report of the activities of this Division for the period from
April 1, 1948, to March 31, 1949. The primary duties of the Division are as indicated
in the Administrative Chart.

Amendments were made to ten (10) Acts governing the administration of the
Department as follows:

By amendment to The Crown Timber Act the ^Minister is empowered to enter
into timber concession agreements with respect to the salvaging of damaged timber,
and the procedure with respect to the sale of timber seized for arrears of accounts
due the Crown was simplified.

By an amendment to The Cullers Act the Minister is empowered to authorize
a Manual of Scaling Instructions respecting the measurement of Crown timber.

The Forest Fires Prevention Act was amended with respect to the destruction
of refuse on land being cleared; to allow the requisition of privately-owned equipment
for use in fire-fighting; and to make the reporting of a fire obligatory upon any
person coming upon a fire.

An amendment to The Forest Management Act allows the ^linister to make
orders governing timber concession areas for the purpose of forest management.

There were several amendments to The Game and Fisheries Act for the general
purpose of improving administration and promoting conservation. The penalties with
respect to the illegal killing of deer and moose were substantially increased.

By an amendment to The Lakes and Rivers Improvement Act the Minister is
authorized to order the repair or reconstruction of privately-owned dams, and if
necessary to expropriate the works and the adjacent land. The section with respect
to the pollution of waters by refuse and effluent, which previously applied to sawmills
only, was enlarged to apply henceforth to all mills in which logs or woodbolts are
processed.

Amendments were made to The Mills Licensing Act for the purpose of bringing
the legislation into line with administration.

By an amendment to The Public Lands Act the Minister may release land
from the reservation of pine trees contained in letters patent issued after the 30th
of April, 1880, and may compensate a timber licensee who is affected by such
release. The section of the Act concerning the disposition of water powers was
repealed and re-enacted in The Water Powers Regulation Act.

By an amendment to The Water Powers Regulation Act the Minister is em-
powered to fix the terms and conditions upon which water powers and the adjacent
land necessary therefor are sold or leased.

By provisions in The Wolf and Bear Bounty Act the bounty on wolf cubs
is increased to $15 and the Minister may make regulations concerning the keeping of
wolves and bear in captivity.

Various field trips were made by the Chief of the Division during the year for
the purpose of prosecuting certain cases under The Game and Fisheries Act; with
respect to hearings by the Surveyor-General under The Surveys Act: and for round-
table discussions with enforcement officers which, started the previous year, were
continued in some districts.

Lectures at the Ranger School were given to various classes concerning the
Statutes. Regulations and enforcement matters.

Due to increased responsibilities in the Division, the services of an additional
Solicitor were obtained.

Workmen's Compensation

As will be noted from the tables and charts followhi.u;, a new hi,<i;h in costs was
reflected in last year's report.

During the summer of 1948, the most difficult season in the history of the
Department developed.

The total number of claims increased to 494. and the total net cost to
$37,078.97.

It is regretfully reported that there were a number of fatalities due to excep-
tional conditions surrounding widespread smoke and large scale conflagrations.

To date, the annual average cost for ten years is therefore $18,985.61. The
average has consequently increased by nearly S2,000.00 due to the costs in the
disastrous year 1948.

These were duly presented at the Annual District Foresters" Conference, which
was held in Toronto. January 6th to January 15th. 1Q49.

Inspections and Investig.atioxs

From time to time it is necessary for Division Heads to go into matters of
concern to them locally, in the field or elsewhere. Contacts, conferences and dis-
cussions with outside administrative bodies in Canada and the United States are also
more or less essential in the interest of co-ordination and observance of new develop-
ments having a relation to our work.

For such purposes Division Chiefs visited various Departmental establishments
in addition to points in other Provinces and States of the Union.

These included Quebec and Saskatchewan in Air Service matters, numerous
meetings and functions in Quebec and Ontario in Fish and Wildlife activities, various
items in Forest Protection work in Ontario. Quebec and Michigan. In land work the
Division Chief visited British Columbia in addition to attending local conferences
and inspections in Ontario. The Solicitor visited Quebec in connection with the
Game and Fisheries Act and attended at eight points in Ontario on Departmental
business during the year. The Chief. Division of Reforestation went to Quebec and
Prince Edward Island in addition to a number of functions and conferences in Ontario.
The Surveyor General visited ^lanitoba re the Provincial Boundaries and a number
of Ontario locations and the Chief, Division of Timber Management included visits
to Minnesota and Quebec in his work. The Chief. Division of Operation and Personnel
visited United States and various points in Ontario. The following is a list of some
of the trips made by these officials during the past two or three years:

TRAINING

The departmental training programme for staff members, after the pattern
of the Training Within Industry programme, and in First Aid training, was rudely
halted on August 1st, 1948, by the tragic and sudden passing of Kennet Blackwell
Smith. Training Officer for the Department, after which it was decided that it would
be in our best interests to proceed slowly in the matter of selection, so that the best
Training Officer possible could be obtained as a replacement for Mr. Smith. Our
report, therefore, indicates a smaller number of persons trained than in the previous
year, due to the fact that only one-third of the year's programme was completed prior
to Mr. Smith's passing.

The Job Instruction Training Course was made available to 28 employees.
All trainess qualified and received certificates.

The Job Relation Training Course was made available to 24 members, all of
whom were successful in qualifying for certificates.

First Aid Training was likewise halted and apart from a refresher course in
Artificial Respiration to certain personnel of the Ontario Forest Ranger School and
at the Algonquin District headquarters, there was not actually any further training
of staff in this regard.
Head Office Staff Course

Following our practice, instituted in the fiscal year 1942 '43, the Head Office
Staff Course was given to members from both Field and Head Office staffs.

In all, 18 employees were enrolled in the course. 7 of whom were from Head
Office and the remainder from the Field.

The Districts represented on the course were Geraldton. Gogama. Kapus-
kasing, Kenora, Lake Huron, North Bay. Port Arthur. Sioux Lookout and
Timiskaming.

Because of the growth in departmental activities, consideration is now being
given to revising the time schedules for this course as it is apparent that greater
consideration may have to be given to certain aspects of our work.

Accident Prevention, Health, Safety Measures

As in the case of direct training in First Aid, the distribution of literature on
Accident Prevention, Health and Safety Measures was handicapped for the latter part
of the iiscal year. The selection of material and the planning for further distribution
of literature, is in hand and proceeding.

We wish again to pay tribute to the Tuberculosis Prevention Branch, Depart-
ment of Health, for its excellent provisions for Chest X-Ray examinations for per-
sonnel at Head Office and for Field Staff members in many centres throughout the
Province, by means of the Department's Travelling Clinics.

The Health Centre, at the Parliament Buildings, has proved to be of increased
value to the members of the Department employed at Head Office and in nearby
establishments. This service has been the means of more than one staff member dis-
covering that he or she had some serious ailment of which they were previously
unaware. In each case of this nature, the employee was advised to contact his or
her own physician.

Members of Field Staff continued to enjoy the facilities provided by the
Travelling Chest Clinics and by this means, or by examination at the nearest hospital,
the reports were made available to the Department of Health by which employees are
categorized prior to Permanent Staff appointment. Again, we wish to pay tribute to
the Department of Health for their co-operation as a whole and to Dr. A. Griffith Hill,
Physician-in-charge of the Health Centre, with whom we have almost daily contact.

JUNIOR FOREST RANGERS

The business of Forest Protection is one of the primary functions of the
Department. Man power requirements of the nation in time of war adversely
affected that particular function during the recent conflict. With the constantly in-
creasing demand for trained men after the termination of the war, the Department
conceived the idea of employing youths of high school age as a supplement to the
Department's seasonal Forest Ranging Staff. From this developed the policy of em-
ploying youths of 17 to 19 years of age during the summer season, and instructing
them in the work. The accomplishments of the first group were sufficiently satisfactory
to justify the enlargement and continuation of the processes inasmuch as the manual
labour performed by these unskilled but vigorous youngsters relieved trained men for
more important duties, particularly during the period of the worst forest fire hazards.

Each year a number are chosen from a large group of applicants including
local boys, as well as others from southern Ontario. When selection is made, the
applicant is directed to report to one of the northern Administrative Districts, where
work and training is laid out for the group or groups of Junior Forest Rangers, under
a foreman and, if necessary, assistants, who are trained men. in addition to a cook.
They are provided with a daily rate of pay and their board and lodging in suitable
buildings or tent camps, and they are kept together in groups of six to twelve in order
that the training and discipline may be effective. Due attention is paid to recreation,
comfort and health, and the work consists of construction and maintenance of tele-
phone lines, clearing portages and trails, repairing docks and dams, clearing camp
sites, preparing fireplaces, repairing buildings, painting, construction work and forest
fire fighting.

A'o. 3

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 195'J

Many of these young men have proven themselves of considerable value. To
some the experience has opened the way to a career. At the end of the season, the
local reports on their services are analyzed and the value not only of the training,
but also of the actual work accomplished, is assessed and evaluated.

The Junior Ranger idea has been developed from a small group to where, in
1948, groups were distributed as far west as Sault Ste. Marie, and as far north as
Kapuskasing and Cochrane.

OFFICE MANAGEMENT

Purchasing

Locating:, Purchasing and Expediting of Equipment and Supplies

The supply of materials available continued to improve throughout the year,
and many lines that had been practically non-existent for some time, were again
plentiful. In some lines, new products of exceptional quality were offered, and due
to the comparative tests made by the Supply Office on these items, the Department
as a whole was benefited. This was particularly true of stationery and office supply
items. To summarize, it might be said that the situation with regard to availability
had improved across the board, and in many cases, quality was better.

A considerable quantity of office furniture was required during the year for
expansion and replacement purposes, and generally speaking, distributors were able
to deliver from stock, or without undue delay. Steel filing cabinets, however, were
very difficult to obtain during the early part of the year, and only slight improvement
has been noted, though cabinets of inferior quality at high prices are available.
Although we were able to purchase desks, chairs, tables, etc., at slightly reduced
prices as compared to the previous year, all steel products such as filing cabinets, etc.
were considerably higher.

Stockroom

Receipt, Issue, Care and Storage of Equipment, Supplies and Uniforms —

Stock Control

The volume of goods handled through this section has greatly increased again,
and this condition, in an already overcrowded stockroom, has produced a serious
situation that can only be alleviated by the acquisition of additional space.

112

.Vo. J Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

Shipments of stationery and supplies to District Offices, etc.. by express and
freight reached a total of approximately 10,000 parcels, weighing about 150 tons.
This was almost double the quantity handled during the previous fiscal year. Besides
this, there were 9.650 orders covering 701.410 licences of various kinds prepared,
and mailed.

In considering the receiving and issuing of various kinds of supplies, it should
be remembered that, of necessity, two handlings are required, receiving and checking
into stock, and withdrawing from stock for issue.

The storing and distribution of uniform equipment is also handled by this
section, and with the quantity of spare clothing necessary for replacement purposes
as uniform clothing becomes unserviceable, the lack of space becomes more
aggravated.

There are now approximately 400 uniformed personnel, about 30 of which
have been added during the past year. The uniforms supplied to these men have been
found very satisfactory, having an average service life of 2 years, or slightly more.

During the year, 3 new pieces were added to the uniform equipment; a bush
jacket, of light weight khaki material for wear with the summer uniform kit; winter
caps of brown duck to match the parkas, with brown mouton trim; waterproof plastic
cap covers for wear over peaked caps during rainy weather.

Inventory

The plan to decentralize the equipment accounting procedure was advanced
to a great extent by the design of a card system for use by the District Offices. This
card. Form O.P. 97, has been produced in two colours, white for items classed as equip-
ment, which must appear on the Annual Inventory, and buff for expendable items.
This card system is now in use in the District Offices and is being found less cumber-
some and more accurate than the previous system. Before the desired result can be
achieved however, we will require a firm statement as to which items shall be classed
as equipment and which expendable. When this is done, each District Office will
be visited by a member of our staff and given instruction so that the method of keeping
District Equipment Inventories will be standard.

Preparation of Plates

An increased number of departmental forms was designed, and plates made
up on our Vari-typer Machine. There are special- paper composition plates for print-
ing by Multilith process and these can be used to advantage where the total number
of impressions required runs from 2,000 to 3,000. This makes a very inexpensive
process, as the cost per plate varies from 10c to 20c each according to type.

Where a larger number of impressions is called for, or where it is anticipated
that the form concerned will continue in service for some time, copy is produced on
the Vari-typer, and reproduced on aluminum plates by means of photography. The
resultant plate may be used again and again for reprinting the form and these are
filed for quick reference.

In addition to printed forms, our output of reports was expanded considerably
as we produced more of these by means of plates.

Printing

Duplicating and Printing

After many delays, we finally managed to get all the printing and duplicating
equipment moved to room B 305. This was done in November, and although the room

113

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. 3

is small, it is a great improvement over the previous arrangement. Delivery of a second
Multilith machine was made in the last of February, so that it was possible to bring
the work up to date.

Production by the Multilith process totalled 2,768,485 impressions, of which
589,500 was letterhead. This was an increase of approximately 660,000 impressions
over the previous year. With the addition of the extra ^Multilith machine, our produc-
tion will rise still further, as we shall be able to undertake work which was not
possible previously.

The Mimeograph machine had its share of increased work as well, with a total
production of 353,765 impressions from 1.625 different stencils. This represented
an increase of about 52,000 impressions.

Distribution of Printed Matter

A large proportion of the production of this section consists of various forms
which are carried in stock and distributed by requisition, but reports, circulars, news
releases, etc. are prepared and mailed immediately. During the year we prepared
and distributed 20,000 copies of various news releases, 30,000 copies of circulars,
120,000 of the Department's magazine Sylva, as well as many other items.

Servicing and Space Adjustments

The very crowded conditions existing throughout the various offices, etc., have
not been changed by space adjustment, an impossibility where every bit of space
is being used to the best advantage. We were, however, able to obtain some tem-
porary outside storage space over the engine room in the premises occupied by the
Department of Education, at College and Huron Streets. In this, we were able to
store part of our stock of publications, thereby making room for other stocks in the
stockrooms.

In most cases, requests for service of various kinds were completed without
undue delay where we were able to complete the service ourselves, but a considerable
amount of follow-up work was sometimes required when we were dependent on
outside help.

It is pointed out that repairs, alterations, etc.. involving the services of the
Department of Public Works, have been very slow, apparently owing mainly to lack
of adequate staff, as well as shortage of certain materials.

INFORMATION AND EDUCATION

IXTRODUCTIOX

The primary function of the Information and Education Section is to enlist
the active co-operation of the people of Ontario in the conservation of their renewable
natural resources.

The success of management plans depends in large measure upon public under-
standing and appreciation of the value of the land, forest and water resources being
administered by the Department.

These resources are of very great importance to the security and well being of
the people of the Province and represent a major part of our total economy.

To ensure that the public will be conversant with the values involved and the
need for constant vigil in protecting the resources from destruction by careless or unwise

114

.Vo. 3 Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

use, the Information and Education Section has carried on an extensive program
designed to meet these objectives.

Details of the work which has been accomplished will be found elsewhere herein,
but a brief resume of some of the more important activities and their scope follows.

Protectiox

In connection with the necessit\' for protecting the resources, the Information
and Education Section has directed its appeals along lines designed to encourage a
more active public co-operation in furthering management plans for forest protection
through fire prevention, and the conservation of fish and wildlife through a greater
degree of personal responsibility for law observance.

The prevention of fires, with consequent saving of timber and wildlife habitat,
is the most economical method of handling the forest protection problem, since it
attacks it at its source. An awakened public consciousness of the danger from the
careless use of camp fires and smoking materials will materially reduce the loss by
fire.

Education

An enlightened public affords the best opportunity for ensuring the co-operation
which is an essential part of successful administration.

The Department has a staff of specialists who possess, through training and
experience, a comprehensive knowledge of natural resources, are sincere, creative and
imaginative in their work and have a broad knowledge of the specific values inherent
in the various media and tools which may be most effectively utilized.

During the period under revaew. and in line with its educational program, the
Section specialized in the preparation and distribution of Department publications; in
conducting lecture tours, utilizing motion pictures of conservational appeal; in the
design and construction of feature exhibits used, as indicated elsewhere in this report,
and in a regular schedule of news releases to newspapers, magazines, radio stations and
writers.

These activities, by their wide coverage and general appeal, have served to
stimulate adult interest which is being reflected in a larger measure of public support.

The work of the lecturers, particular!}- in the schools of the Province and among
youth organizations, has been particularly valuable.

Enquiries

An important phase of the year's work was the answering of a large volume of
letters of enquiry for information and an equally large volume of enquiries by telephone
and personal call.

Photography

The production of black and while photograi)hs for use in Department publi-
cations and for distribution to newspapers and magazines was stepped u|i during the
year.

Radio

Radio was used quite frequently for spot announcements concerning fire hazards,
etc., and with the co-operation of the radio stations a great deal of the material contained
in news releases was broadcast.

No. 3

Posters

Signs and posters covering all phases of the conservation program were designed
and produced by the Section.

Co-operation

In addition to working closely with all other branches of the Ontario Govern-
ment, the Department co-operates with other similar Departments in the Federal
Government and the various provinces, by frequent exchange of information with
respect to matters of mutual interest covering all phases of administrative work.

DEPARTMENT PUBLICATIONS

Publication work consisted of the production of manuals, official reports and
administrative booklets. This was in addition to the editing and production of the staff
magazine SYLVA.

The work necessary to produce these publications involved editing, design,
layout, cost estimates, approvals and proof-reading, together with the selection of
photos and art work.

During the year 28 publications were produced, including 5 manuals, 13
administrative pieces, 4 reports and 6 issues of SYLVA. These publications included
4 which were carried over from the previous fiscal year.

LECTURE TOURS

Field lecturers operated in six of the seven Regions during the year. Messrs.
R. V. Whelan, C. W. Dill, H. K. Campbell and B. A. S. MacDonald operated in the
Central, Mid-Western, Northern and South-Western Regions respectively throughout
the year. Mr. R. W. Arkwright was appointed to the Central Region during the early
part of the year and coverage for three months of the period was provided for the
Western Region by Mr. D. Gillespie.

118

No. 3

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

In each of the Regions a schedule of meetings was arranged through close
co-operation with the District Foresters. This made it possible for the lecture staff
to spend some time in each district thus ensuring a wider coverage.

It will be noted from the table provided herein that emphasis was placed on
school meetings. The co-operation of principals and teachers served to assure the
success of these gatherings. Some 876 lectures were given in schools with an attendance

of 8Q.020.

The reaction of pupils to this phase of educational work is reflected in the
continuing demand for return visits. Motion pictures supplemented by suitable talks
were the media used and the character of these was greatly appreciated by teachers
and pupils alike.

In addition to the school work the lecturers addressed some 655 public meetings
with an attendance of almost 72,000 persons.

It is interesting to note that the total number of meetings held during the year
was 1.531 with a total attendance of 160,989.

In addition to the meetings attended by the staff of lecturers, motion pictures
were shown during the year at Department exhibits set up as a part of larger exhibitions,
fall fairs, etc.. held throughout the country. The attendance at the.se showings approxi-
mated 60.000 people. The theme of forest protection and fish and wildlife conservation
was stressefl in the films shown.

This phase of the work was of considerable value in emphasizing the conser-
vation appeals which were a \ydr{ of every Department exhibit. Reference to these will
be found elsewhere in this report.

Motion Picture Films

Several prints of two new motion pictures on reforestation "Return of the Trees"
(2 reels, 800 ft.) and "Farm Forestry" (1 reel, 400 ft.) were added to the Hbrary.
These films were started during the previous fiscal year.

In addition to replacements for certain of the lilms which had become worn out,
a number of new prints suitable for rounding out a complete program were purchased.

Work was also commenced by the staff photographers on a new tilm covering
timber salvage operations, to which further reference is made under "Photography."

No. 3 Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

LECTURE TOUR EQUIPMENT

Seven panel trucks were operated by the Information and Education Section
during the year. These have accumulated heavy mileage due to their continuous use by
members of the field staff. Each member of the staff engaged in lecture work, is provided
with a truck in which is carried all the equipment necessary to put on a complete
showing of motion pictures, whether or not power is available at the place of the
meeting.

Generators

To make it possible to provide motion picture programs in places where hydro
power is not available, each lecturer is provided with a separate generator. This forms
a permanent part of the truck equipment and is readily available whenever necessary.

The number of generators on hand totals 7.

\'oLT.AGE Regulators

Power fluctuations often cause the voltage to drop below operating level and
result in program failures. To help avoid this, voltage regulators are provided. These
are portable and readily carried as a part of the regular equipment. A total of five
voltage regulators were in use during the year under review.

Projection Screens

A total of ten portable screens of a suitable size for most halls and auditoriums
are at present in use. These are provided with tripod folding legs and are quickly set
up even in limited space. The use of these portable beaded screens has greatly improved
the showing of coloured motion pictures.

EXHIBITS

The volume of exhibit work exceeded that of the preceding year. This type of
educational and conservational work has assumed major importance in the program of
the Department. Fifteen exhibits were put on, as compared with thirteen in the previous
year. Of these seven were feature exhibits which formed major attractions at the larger
shows. The balance were district exhibits mostly at fall fairs and other shows. Public
interest in these exhibits was very keen, and their educational value most pronounced.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Motion Picture Production

On December 1, 1948. Mr. R. D. Robinson with the assistance of Mrs. K. M.
Andresen. both staff photographers, commenced shooting a colour motion picture on
the subject of salvage of timber killed in the Mississagi-Chapleau lire which occurred
in the summer of 1948. The shooting locale was near Chapleau. By the end of the
fiscal year some 2.300 feet of 16 mm Kodachrome were exposed covering all phases'of
the winter operations. The actual work of photographing the operations presented
many difficulties due, in part, to the extreme cold which frequently prevailed, and the
necessity for securing proper light conditions.

During the first few days in June while the actual fire was raging the staff photog-
raphers were able to secure numerous excellent shots of the conflagration. These will
probably be incorporated in the .salvage film in order to round out the picture. Work
on this production will continue as the salvage operations develop.

121

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. 3

Still Photography

A continuous supply of good photographs is necessary in order that these may
be available for the illustration of departmental publications and to meet the ever-
increasing demand for newspapers, magazines and writers for illustrative material
covering every j^hase of the conservation program.

The staff photographers took a large number of photographs during the year and
a file of good pictures is being steadily built up. Specific photographs, such as wildlife
shots, are frequently difficult to secure because they require time and patience to obtain
satisfactory results. Every opportunity is taken, however, to secure suitable material.

The development of a more suitable photo filing system which will facilitate the
classification of and easy reference to every type of photograph has received consider-
able study.

The effective use of good photographs in departmental publications has given
them a much wider appeal. This is particularly true where the subject matter is of
general interest and lends itself to actual photographs of the resources or operations
under discussion.

Developments in the use of Kodachrome for still photography are being care-
fulh' watched. To date, however, the job of processing is involved and costly, and
publication charges high.

Lantern Slides

Lantern slides have their place in lecture work although this phase of work does
not have the same popular appeal as motion pictures.

The general use of colour photography for this type of work has revived interest
in slide material. The Section is gradually acquiring suitable photographs from which
slides can be made. At the present time many of the District Offices are using slides to
supplement the motion pictures and other available media for lecture work. It is
planned, however, as the facilities for colour photography are expanded, to build up
sets of slides on specific subjects which will be available to field lecturers as well as to
members of the Head Office staff.

Film Strips

The use of film strips for illustrating lectures of an instructional nature has not
been overlooked. Initial investigation has shown that commercial production costs are
high, but with increased facilities it is believed that it is possible for these to be pro-
duced by members of the staff.

Photo Processing

The work of photo processing is an important phase in the general program of
producing suitable photographic material.

The dark room is fairly well equipped for all general purposes and during the
year one photo processor has been able to keep abreast of present production. The
time of the processor is fully taken up with the primary work of developing, printing
and enlarging. The augmentation of certain plans referred to herein for the extension
of photographic services will require a readjustment of the work and some additional
equipment.

122

yo.3 Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

PRESS AND NEWS RELEASES

In a further effort to ensure the co-operation of the public in administering the
29 Acts under which the Department functions a system of Weekly News Releases has
been carried on. These contain reports on every phase of departmental activities,
current changes in the regulations and conservation appeals in the interest of forest
protection and law observance. The Weekly News Release circulates to every news-
paper in the Province, to magazines covering natural resources, radio stations as well
as to a list of outdoor writers and Fish and Game Protective Associations.

Forty-six news releases were issued during the year and were given extensive
coverage by both the press and radio.

In addition to the News Release, which usually covers about 2.000 words of
copy. thirt}--five press releases were also issued during the period under review. These
contained matters of more or less urgency requiring immediate release and were given
coverage through the co-operation of the press wire services and radio.

A number of articles for outdoor magazines were prepared by members of the
Information and Education staff, while interviews were given and information provided
for the preparation of articles by representatives of the press and various magazines.

ADVERTISING

Conservation appeals in the form of display-type advertisements to the number
of fifty-seven were prepared and published in newspapers and magazines. Of this total,
five appeared in newspapers, twenty-one in magazines dealing with forests and forest
products, six in special timber issues of business and financial journals, twenty-one in
fishing and hunting magazines and four in sports programs.

A further total of seventy-four advertisements calling for tenders for the sale of
Crown Timber were placed with Ontario daily and weekly newspapers. In addition
fifty-six miscellaneous advertisements covering sales of various kinds and operational
requirements were also placed with Ontario newspapers.

RADIO SCRIPTS

The staff of the Information and Education section lent assistance in the pre-
paration of five radio scripts during the year. Three of these were broadcast during the
summer fire hazard period and were designed to call attention to the responsibility of
the individual in the matter of forest protection through fire prevention.

SCHOOL WORK
An investigation to determine the amount of natural resource material in prog-
rams of study in Ontario Schools was made during the year. The report on the investi-
gation indicated that while there are options in the courses of study provided to teachers,
the supply of teaching material is inadequate. A thorough investigation of this subject
will be commenced as soon as possible in co-operation with the Department of Educa-
tion in order to evolve a more intensive study of conservation problems as related to
the natural resources of the Province, and the provision of suitable material for teaching
purposes.

Publications already prepared by this Department have been widely circulated
to teachers and pupils on request.

The table of lecture tours undertaken during the period under review gives some
indication of the extent of the work carried on to assist teachers and pupils to a clearer
understanding of the value of our natural resources and the steps necessary for their
protection and wise use.

YOUTH PROGRAMS

The development of the Junior Ranger plan is referred to on page 110 of this
report.

A number of the District Foresters in Southern Ontario have co-operated with
the Department of Agriculture in the organization of forestry clubs to stimulate greater
interest in the conservation and better management of farm woodland, thus increasing
the financial returns to the owners.

Co-operation with Boy Scouts and young farmer groups has been carried on
through lectures and the showing of suitable conservation motion pictures. This work
is being co-ordinated and gradually developed as circumstances permit.

CORRESPONDENCE

The volume of correspondence in response to letters of enquiry for information
increased slightly over that of the previous year, which was an all time high. Approxi-
mately 7,700 letters were received as compared with 6,900 in the previous year. The
enquiries covered, in a general way, most phases of departmental administration. A
large percentage of the correspondence handled was from prospective visitors in the
United States. These were concerned, for most part, with open seasons for fishing and

124

jVo. 3 Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

hunting, the regulations in connection therewith, accommodation, guides, transporta-
tion, etc. In this connection the various publications available for distribution by the
Department were most helpful.

The balance of the correspondence handled covered a wide field. Requests for
publications or information concerning publications were heavy. In many cases the
information asked for required a great deal of research and the securing of factual data
from other Divisions.

MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVITIES

Other duties undertaken by the staff were the compilation of mailing lists, veri-
fication of publicity material, distribution of literature and arrangements for attending
public meetings in the Toronto-Simcoe district. Members of the Head Office Informa-
tion and Education staff also represented the Department at 100 such meetings, for
the purpose of lecturing and showing motion pictures.

DIVISION OF REFORESTATION

Tree Distribution

The distribution increased from a figure of 12,200,000 in the previous year, to
13,000,000 in the year under review. The increase was distributed to private land-
owners, giving them nearly 7,800,000, while municipal planting was reduced slightly
to 3,600,000. Slightly more than 1,000,000 trees were planted on provincial crown
lands, 160,000 on dominion crown lands, while the balance of nearly 500.000 were
used in semi-public and miscellaneous projects.
Nurseries

Additional land was purchased for both St. Williams and Orono nurseries, in
order to prepare increased area for transplanting seedlings. Mechanization of nur-
series continued, with the purchase of more transplanting machines; the development
of a seeding machine at Port Arthur; and the construction of a new tree lifter at
Midhurst. Irrigation equipment is rapidly being modernized by the purchase of
portable aluminum pipes and sprayers. Six foresters are now employed as nursery
superintendents and assistant nursery superintendents.
Extension Forestry and Municipal Forest Management

The number of foresters employed as zone foresters is now twelve, which,
although it is an increase of five from the previous year, means that extension forestry
is still spread very thinly across the southern part of the province.

The area of municipal and authority forests under agreement increased by
about 9,000 acres, to reach a figure of 63,337 acres. This is an increase from approxi-
mately 35,000 acres in 1945. The greatest expansion took place in Bruce County,
where over 4,000 acres were purchased, and in the Ganaraska Forest which increased
by over 2,000 acres in the year under review.

The zone foresters now give technical assistance to several counties operating
municipal forests which are not under agreement.

working plans of municipal forests was continued. Mapping has also progressed so
that about two-thirds of the major areas are covered, using a revised method.

The regulated crop cut was allocated in one forest. Similar control is nearing
completion in all municipal forests. A system of sustained thinnings in plantations
was formulated for the above area, while the field surveys for this phase on other
forests are planned for completion during the coming year.

Approximately two thousand cords of pulpwood thinnings were taken from
municipal forest plantations and sold to pulp and paper companies.

The department now operates nineteen planting machines for municipal forest
planting. The following tables furnish details of tree distribution:

A start was made in 1948 on a regional research staff by appointing Mr. N. F.
Lyon as a full time research assistant to the Regional Forester at Port Arthur. This
regional scheme of research will be expanded gradually as staff and funds permit.

The program for 1948 included work under the following headings:

Electrical — mechanical Mensuration Sylviculture Tree Breeding

Entomology Pathology Smelter Fumes Wildlife

Fisheries — Great Lakes, Inland Research Station Soils Miscellaneous
Lakes, Southern Ontario

Electrical-Mechanical Studies

This work is under the direction of M. H. Baker. The first project of the
year was the manufacture of a production model of an infra-red cone drying machine
and installing it in the tree seed extraction plant at Angus. The manufacture of the
prototype machine was mentioned in the report of 1947. The machine at Angus is
now in use and has proved satisfactory.

An improved machine was made for seeding by aircraft. The original gravity
feed was replaced by a positive drive operated from the electrical system of the aero-
plane or a separate battery. A wide range of speeds is possible to suit different sizes
of seeds and air speeds and almost any desired quantity of se;d can be sown on a given
area with one pass of the aircraft.

Following the ^lississagi-Chapleau fires, a meeting of Regional Foresters, the
Chief of the Research Division, the Director of the Ontario Research Council, and
a consulting engineer, was held at Dorset to decide what was the most pressing need
in mechanical equipment for fire suppression. Two suggestions were made, one was
that tipping of bush tools, especially grub hoes with hard materials such as "stellite"
or "carboloy" and the second that manufacture of a small crawler tractor, or mechani-
cal pack horse, would be a great help. The first would increase the effectiveness of the
tools and reduce time loss by repeated sharpening, or by breakage, and the second
would enable an effective load to be taken to the fire by the first suppression crew.
The men would arrive fresh for fire fighting and not exhausted from carrying equip-
ment. The tractor would be equipped with a power take-off for operating a pump,
generator, or trench digger.

These two projects were started and pulaski tools were tipped with stellite and
carboloy and tested. The stellite and carboloy proved far more resistant than ordinary
steel; the stellite tip. though not as hard as the carboloy. is more feasible economically.

:36

jVo. 3 Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

The small tractor was designed and built and is undergoing test and
development.

A hose folding machine was designed and built. This was based on the original
model obtained from Mr. P. Hoffman and Mr. A. King at Timagami and Latchford.

Some work was done on the use of dry ice and fog nozzles for fire fighting
and also on a number of smaller projects.
Entomology

The arrangement of previous years of engaging Dr. C. E. Atwood as a con-
sultant was continued. Dr. Atwood is regularly employed as a Professor of Zoology
by the University of Toronto. The work done during the last year consisted of
examination and reports on a number of insect infestations. A heavy infestation of
Lecontei's sawfiy pine in the Sauble Forest was of particular interest. It was necessary
to determine the degree of infestation and the possibility of control. DDT spraying
at the rate of two pounds per acre gave satisfactory control.
Fisheries — Great Lakes

Research in fisheries on the Great Lakes was centred at the South Bay Station
mentioned in last year's report. This Station has been enlarged and a laboratory,
cook-house, sleeping quarters, ice-house and boat shed, have been constructed. The
object of the experiment is to lish South Bay, which is almost completely land locked,
so as to put equal pressure on all elements of the fish population and ascertain if this
will result in an increase of the commercial and game fish. A further object of the
study is to find a sales outlet for coarse fish and fish by-products such as scales, fish
meal, etc.

Studies of other factors affecting the fish population are being carried on at
the same time and the data recorded on punch cards for analysis. A creel census is
also conducted in this region.

The study is co-operative with the Ontario Federation of Commercial Fisher-
men, the Anglers and Hunters Association and the Northern Outfitters' Association.
Dr. F. E. J. Fry of the University of Toronto is in charge of this project and of all
fisheries research for the Department.

Fisheries — Inland Lakes

This is directed by Dr. R. R. Langford under Dr. F. E. J. Fry. The work is
centred at the Fisheries Research Laboratory at Opeongo Lake and is confined largely
to the nearby lakes. Among other things, it is concerned with a creel census or record
of catch by anglers. Returns provide a valuable record of species and yield from
specific bodies of water.

Another project is the fertilizing of lakes with commercial fertilizers, to increase
the amount of plant and animal plankton available for fish food. Cache, Brewer,
Costello and Little McCawley lakes have been fertilized. Chemical analyses of the
waters of treated lakes are being made to determine the need for fertilizer and its
effect. Plankton studies and studies of bottom fauna ar being conducted simul-
taneously with the fertilizing experiments both in the treated lakes and in untreated
control lakes.

137

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

No. 3

Three of the fertilized lakes and one control lake were fished to determine the
forage fish population present and the effect on the remaining population of the
presence of these fish.

As a sidelight on the fertilization problem, a study was made of incoming nu-
trients in the feeder streams of various lakes. This was done by analyzing water
samples from the streams and determining the quantity of water delivered in each.
Ultimately the run-off for the whole water-shed of each lake will be computed and
the total possible productivity in fish of each lake assessed.

192,000 speckled trout, bass, lake trout and cisco were planted experimentally
in thirteen lakes and streams of the southern part of Algonquin Park. This was done
to determine the effect of planting and the fate of the fish so introduced. An improved
fish tagging system was put into effect in 1948.

A list of lakes for closure in alternate years was compiled for the use of park
authorities as a means of building up the fish population.

Fisheries — Southern Ontario

This project, under the direction of X. S. Baldwin, was carried out in Wilmot
Creek to determine the brown trout population; fish movements in response to tem-
perature, and the effect of planting as against natural increase.

Productivity was determined at seven pounds per acre per annum; availability
of fish per 100 rod hours was determined as 55 for the stream. Brown trout were
found to be larger than speckled trout, less predatory on fish and less vulnerable to
angling.
Fisheries — Southern Research Station

Water analyses, stomach analyses and scale readings were carried on here on
samples collected at all the centres of fisheries research. The work was done by M.
B. Gibson, X. S. Baldwin and A. Papson.

Mensuration

This is a study of growth and yield by Mr. M. Ardenne in the hardwoods of
Southern Ontario and as a first step involves the preparation of volume tables for the
principal species. Two student assistants were employed on this project. To facilitate
computation, the Reinecke form for tree volumes was used.

Pathology

For the first time, a serious attempt to meet the forest tree disease menace on
a large scale is being made. Through a co-operative arrangement with the Dominion
Government, and the University of Toronto. Dr. J. E. Bier of the Science Service
has transferred to Toronto from British Columbia. He instructs students at the
University of Toronto in Pathology and supervises all the field work agreed on by the
Dominion and Provincial Governments. A complete laboratory is being set up in
Toronto. This Division pays the salaries of two students on Dr. Bier's staff. Studies
of birch die back, white pine needle blight and Dutch elm disease are under way. and
will be greatly expanded. An assessment of the rate of deterioration of damaged trees
in budworm infested areas has been made.

Southern and Other Research Stations

Some additional land was added to the Southern Research Station during the
year, increasing its area to 100 acres. The fisheries research building and the artificial
lake are now practically completed. A greenhouse was completed.

Apart from purely research activities, a water reservoir and w^ater supply
system was constructed on the property as well as a radio station and house for the
operator. This radio station, connected by direct wire to the Parliament Buildings,
will give immediate contact with the Districts in the north. This will be especially
important during the fire season when the commercial telephone and telegraph lines
are overloaded.

A start was made on the use of all possible material from the Station woodlot
for lumber, fuel, and other uses.

Areas were selected in the South Central, Central. Northern and Midwestern
Regions to serve as research and demonstration areas and when legally set aside, they
will be used to demonstrate the lessons learned in regeneration surveys, and to
provide a forest working space for co-operating research bodies.

The Fisheries Research Station at South Bay has been referred to under
"Great Lakes Fisheries".

Sylviculture

Under this heading are grouped all the Departmental activities in forest tree
seed production and treatment, regeneration surveys and co-operative cutting ventures
with operating companies. The sylviculture and regeneration section is under the
direction of A. P. Leslie.

The seed production experiment in red pine under Dr. George Duff, University
of Toronto, has now reached the stage where plots of jiine are being treated along
the lines determined by Dr. Duff to intluence the productions of seed. The ultimate
end of this study is the establishment of controlled areas (seed orchards) where
destructive agencies such as diseases and insects may be kept in check and maximum
yields of seeds of desirable strains obtained.

Report of the Department of Lands end Forests for 1950 No. 3

Regeneration surveys were carried on in the Fort Frances and Port Arthur
Districts. After the Mississagi fire, the Fort Frances party was withdrawn and set
to work gathering seed for the proposed aerial seeding of part of the burn, that
would probably not regenerate naturally to valuable species.

The large scale regeneration survey program has now reached the point where
the principal forest regions of the Province have been covered and surveys will be
done only on special demand. At was predicted by this Division, operating com-
panies have found that, as a matter of intelligent stock taking and planning, regenera-
tion surveys are as important as timber estimations prior to cutting. These surveys
probably will be continued and expanded by the companies though some areas will
still need to be covered by the Department.

A co-operative cutting program for regeneration research was started in 1948
by this Division in the Port Arthur District and will be extended to the other regions
as staff and funds permit. This program will enable the Division to establish areas
in all the principal forest site types on the limits of the major companies and enter
into an agreement with the company to cut these selected areas in a specific manner
so as to influence regeneration. Some areas will also receive special treatment such
as scarification, fertilization, etc. This work was started on the limits of the Great
Lakes Paper Company, the Abitibi Power and Paper Company and the Marathon
Paper Company.

An examination was made of the Gogoma fire area of 1941 by a party of two
men, and of burned areas in the Parry Sound area by a party of two.

Permanent plots established in 1930-32, in the Timagami region were re-
examined.

Seed Treatment and Aerial Seeding

The question of coating seed ( 1 ) to increase the ease with which it may be
dispensed from a seeding mechanism in the air or on the ground (2) to increase
germination and give protection against diseases, rodents and insects is proceeding.
An improved seed coating mechanism was set up at Maple and the technique of
coating has been perfected so that it is now simple, cheap and effective. Extensive
experiments are proceeding in coating materials, fungicides, rodent repellents and
fertilizers. Emphasis is placed on the first two, and interesting results are being
obtained. The problem of delayed germination of pellets has been solved and can
now be controlled at will.

It is certain that even if nothing further is accomplished, the increased bulk
and weight of coated seed gives advantages for aerial seeding and somes types of hand
seeding that exceeds the cost of coating.

A quantity of Jack pine seed was gathered in the Port Arthur Region and
enough additional seed obtained from the seed plant at Angus to sow 15,000 acres
that probably would not otherwise regenerate in the Mississagi fire area. The seeds
were coated at Maple. Jack pine, red, white and Scots pine and white spruce seed
was sown on sites suited to each species as far as could be determined. A Stinson
Reliant aircraft of the Division of Air Service was used for distribution, and the seeds
were sown at the rate of five thousand per acre.

The total cost of seeding, amounted to about 60c per acre. Past experience in
seeding indicates that a minimum of 1 % survival may be expected under bad con-
ditions. A small fraction of 1 % would pay the cost of operation, as indicated above.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

If the early part of 1949 is favorable in respect to precipitation and temperature, sur-
vival may be much higher. Survivals of 2S',[ have been obtained in other areas
under very favorable conditions.

Smelter Fumes

The smelter fumes survey, under R. H. Murray, that was started in 1944 was
stopped in 1948 to assess the results of the work and establish a proper basis for
possible continuance on an enlarged scale.

Soils

The soils survey, under G. A. Hills, during 1948 was continued in the Hali-
burton region, which is the fifth area covered since the start of soil surveys in 1944.
As in past years, the principal effort has been to map soils in terms of possible use
and yield for forestry and farming purposes and thus to define, in general, those
areas best suited for forest or farm development.

During the field season, 36.000 acres of land were covered, extending from
Coboconk to Huntsville and including the University of Toronto Forest.

Work was continued on chemical and physical analyses, and base exchange
of soils at the Maple Laboratory. Work was almost completed on reports and maps
of Grant and McLaren townships in the North Bay district.

Statistics

A start was made on detailed statistical studies when Dr. DeLury was engaged
as a consultant of the Ontario Research Foundation. ]Mr. Lachlan M. Morrison has
been added to the Division staff to assist Dr. DeLury and perform other work.

An improved system of forest sampling has already been developed by Dr.
DeLury and will be tried out thoroughly in the field.

Tree Breeding

The activities of the tree breeding section of the Division under Dr. C. C. Heim-
burger are progressing steadily. The widespread interest in tree breeding, which was
not too long ago considered as a useless fad, is evidenced by the appearance of a
publication of the Swedish Government describing the work of a number of individual
research workers and organizations in this field.

The Research Division's program is divided into three parts:
(1) White pine; (2) Poplar; (3) Arboretum.

The object in the white pine project is to select white pine seed from trees
throughout the Province that appear to be resistant to blister rust and to determine
if the progeny are also resistant to heavy infections. Crosses are also made using
native and exotic pines that are resistant to rust in an effort to produce resistant
strains that can be propagated. Some 600,000 seedlings grown from seed of selected
stock of apparent rust resistance have been produced at Orono, St. Williams, and
Midhurst and will be transferred to Maple in 1949.

The chief effort in the case of poplar breeding is to produce an aspen hybrid of
good wood quality that will thrive on medium fertile sites and also a hybrid cotton-
wood for windbreak planting in Southern Ontario. The production of hybrid poplars
for wood pulp is a subject of active interest to certain pulp and paper companies in
the United States and Canada.

An arboretum of all useful native and exotic species is being established at
the Maple Research Station. Fifty-three species have already been planted there.
This will form a reserve from which material may be drawn for research purposes.

Wildlife Research

This phase of Research work under Mr. C. D. Fowle, deals particularly with the
relation of wildlife to its environment. A wildlife research centre and wilderness area
was established near Lake of Two Rivers, Algonquin Park. Studies undertaken were:

The physiology of the deer mouse, Determination of age in young pheasants,

The introduction of ruffed grouse to Beckwith Study of wildlife food and cover plants,

Island, Pelee Island pheasant study.

For those concerned with the practical aspect, the projects are as follows:

Mouse studies and records of numbers of these animals are of great importance
because they form the food of many other animals and feed to a large extent on tree
seeds, thus working to some extent against regeneration of the forest. Obviously, a
knowledge of their physiology and habits is important in all game management and
forest operations.

The purpose of the Beckwith Island ruffed grouse study is to introduce disease
free grouse into an area that has not had grouse for many years and to observe if the
grouse disease that periodically decimates the population of this bird elsewhere, will
appear here. The Islands have been surveyed and the birds will be introduced in 1949.

Studies of food plants for wild game and other birds is very important. It is
proposed to set up small local plantations of all species found useful. A start has been
made at the Southern Research Station.

Miscellaneous

An interesting and far reaching experiment dealing with the water require-
ments of soils according to the Thornthwaite index was carried out at the Orono

nursery at the request of this Division with the permission of Mr. Zavitz. This work
was done by Mr. Chapman and Miss Sanderson of the Ontario Research Foundation
and may revolutionize nursery irrigation practice and produce bigger stock in a shorter
time with less cost.

In co-operation with the Ontario Research Foundation, foliage and cones from
all native trees and some planted varieties, were distilled for essential oils. The first
distillation of 3,000 pounds of foliage from each species was done in a commercial still
at Bancroft. The yield proved erratic, however, and a second run of small quantities
of pure foliage without branches is being made under carefully controlled laboratory
conditions to determine potential yields and the constituents of the oils. Markets also
will be studied.

This Division co-operated in the seeding of clouds with dry ice during the
Mississagi-Chapleau fire. The full effects are not known but the observable effects
have been covered in a report by Mr. K. G. Pettit, Dominion Meteorological Service.

In co-operation with the Ontario and the National Research Council, a
thorough test of the possibility of locating forest fires by infra-red ray devices (bolo-
meters) and radar, was made. The tests took place at Scarboro and the devices and
operators were supplied by the National Research Council. Results were negative.
The fire used was of fair size: the instruments highly perfected, and the operators
well trained. Therefore, the prospects of getting a detectable anomaly above a small
fire with less perfect equipment and ine.xperienced operators seems to be small, for
the near future at least.

E.xploded vermiculite was supplied to the Orono and Fort William nurseries
for a test of this material on seedbeds. A small quantity of wa.x emulsion for reducing
transpiration loss from coniferous seedlings was supplied to Orono. This was tried
out on unsheltered transplants during the winter of 1948-49. and reduced the loss
appreciably. The Division co-operated with Mr. Linton at Orono in testing the
effect of herbicides such as 2-4D on woodv shrubs and trees.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. 3

DIVISION OF SURVEYS AND ENGINEERING

Early in April, 1948, the survey of the portion of the Ontario-INIanitoba
Boundary between Island Lake and the intersection of the 89th meridian of west
longitude of Hudson Bay was completed. Astronomical observations to determine
the position of this point had previously been made and a concrete monument planted
to reference this point. The line struck 15.8 feet off the point so determined. This
remarkable closing shows the accuracy with which the work was carried out. Credit
is due to those in charge of the field work.

The nature of the terrain over which the line passed was such that the work
could only be carried on during the winter months. The Manitoba Government Air
Service, operating from a base at God's Lake, was used to transport the party and
supplies. When suitable lakes were adjacent to the line, the aircraft was used to move
camp and ferry the members of the party to work from camp. Without this service,
it would not have been possible to accomplish the amount of work completed.

When the line has been accepted by the Governments concerned, permanent
monuments will be established at convenient intervals. Legislation confirming the
Boundary as established, will then be passed by the Parliaments.

The baseline from the south east corner of the Nipigon Forest Reserve was
completed to the boundary between the Districts of Thunder Bay and Algoma.

The Department has adopted the policy of preparing plans for registration,
when five or more adjacent summer resort locations or five or more locations within
the same township lot are surveyed simultaneously. This simplifies the issuing of the
patents of these locations and subsequent transfers if so desired.

Power developments at Terrace Bay on the Aquasabon River in the District of
Thunder Bay, at Stewartville on the Madawaska River, in the County of Renfrew
and on the Muskoka River, in the District of Muskoka, were completed during the
year and are now providing electric energy.

The concentrated survey programme of uncompleted surveys of summer resort
parcels was continued and 1,199 surveys were completed, an increase of 73.3 per cent
ov^er the previous fiscal year.

Private Surveys on Crown Lands

Under authority of Section 37 of the Public Lands Regulations 1,199 summer
resort locations were surveyed and the returns of survey filed in the Department for
examination and approval. Five hundred and two surveys of this number were sur-
veyed under direct departmental instructions to the surveyor where the applicant paid
in the survey fee as specified in Section 37 of the Public Lands Regulations and
amendments thereto. This is an increase of five hundred and seven surveys over the
fiscal year ending March 31, 1948.

Under the provisions of the Mining Act. 509 mining claims were surveyed and
the returns of survey filed in the Department for examination and approval. This is
a reduction of 36 per cent in the number of surveys made for the fiscal year ending
March 31, 1948.

Townsite Subdivisions

The Kenricia Townsite located at the junction of the Red Lake Highway and
the Canadian National Railway and containing about 100 residential, business and
industrial lots was surveyed by the Department. During the past fiscal year no
subdivisions of land affected by the provisions of the Townsites Act were filed in the
Department.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950

A thin photostatic paper from which ozalid prints can be made was tried out
this year with considerable success. By this method, the cost of reproductions in
quantity was kept to a minimum.

Printing and Transparent
Linen Reproductions

Paper and contact photographic linen reproductions of survey plans and other
matters shows an increase in the quantity used this year. 92.700 square feet of sen-
sitized paper or linen was consumed.

Survey Records

^Microfilming of the original survey records was resumed this year and in this
connection, 138.000 plans, pages of field notes and survey records were filmed.

2.600 plans were numbered consecutively in preparation of the cataloguing
of all survey records.

The work of repairing and rebinding the original survey field notes and other
volumes was continued.

Field Survey Party Equipment and Supply

The equipping and supplying of an eighteen-man baseline survey party, operat-
ing in the field, as well as for smaller summer resort parties, and survey inspection
work, was taken care of during the year.

The truck which was acquired last year and outfitted as a mobile survey
unit, covered 11.000 miles.

L. to R.: — Regional Forester K. Acheson, District Foresters W. E. Steele and A. B. Wheatley and
Regional Foresters E. L. Ward and P. McEwen, listen attentively as operator G. Copping explains
the use of the huge enlarger used by the Division of Surveys and Engiiteering.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. 3

Preliminary survey metal tags for the use of District Offices were designed and
obtained. These were tried out in certain Districts with considerable success. They
are made of nickel silver which has a high melting point. These are for use in the
field to designate preliminary summer resort locations prior to survey.

Provincial Air Photographic Libr.ary

Plans were formulated for the creation of an Air Photographic Library where
a copy of all aerial photographs covering the Province will be filed for reference
purposes.

AERIAL SURVEYS SECTION

During the fiscal year the Aerial Surveys Section covered 7,239 square miles
with vertical photography.

TIMBER

MANAGEMENT

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for 1950 No. 3

DIVISION OF TIMBER MANAGEMENT

While complete figures for the production of timber from Crown Lands for the
period covered by this report are not available at this time, it is indicated that the
high level of production and of employment in the bush was maintained.

The disastrous forest fires during the summer of 1948 created an immediate and
major problem to salvage as much of the fire damaged timber as quickly as possible.
No effort has been spared to save and bring to market this valuable timber. For the
period ending March 31, 1949, some 80 million feet board measure have been salvaged
and operations are continuing with all possible vigor.

Other activities of the division follow under their respective headings.

FOREST RESOURCES INVENTORY
The forest resources inventory project was started in 1946. Photography com-
pleted during the year amounted to 26.708 square miles under contract and 4,462
square miles by the Department, making a total area photographed during the year
of 31,170 square miles.

Mapping completed during the year amounted to 34.223 square miles under
contract and 8.000 square miles by the Department making a total area mapped of
42.223 square miles.

Field work was completed on a total of 14.865 square miles.

Total work accomplished to the end of the fiscal year, amounted to:

Photography 118,711 square miles

Mapping 81,082 square miles

Completed Field Work 18,465 square miles

MANAGEMENT PLANS AND CONTROL

Increased activity in the preparation of management plans has been shown by
agreement holders during the fiscal year 1948-49, resulting largely from the prepara-
tion by the Department of up to date planimetric base maps in connection with the
Forest Resources Inventory and also from the increased supply of foresters who have
been graduating from the Universities. As at March 31. 1949, thirteen companies have
submitted plans on 6,773 square miles. Additional plans doubling the above men-
tioned mileage have been received since and it is expected that plans will be submitted
with greatly increased tempo during the next two years.

The control of operations has improved considerably during the past season
through the implementation of standard procedure in the submission of cutting
applications by the companies and the inspection of the operations by the field staff
of the Department.

In keeping with the progressive outlook of the Department to manage the
Crown forests for the purpose of maintaining an adequate supply of timber in per-
petuity and obtaining the greatest utilization possible, a course in stumpage appraisal
was given in July, 1948, under the direction of the late Professor D. M. JNIatthews.
This course was given to twenty-two foresters, ten of whom were from the Department
and twelve from the industry. It was divided into three parts: pulpwood appraisal,
sawlog appraisal and differential joint appraisal of two or more products. Methods
and techniques were thoroughly discussed, case data w^as used for solving problems,
a break-down of factors affecting costs and a cost classification was presented and
explained. As a result of this course management foresters were given the technical

ditions of size and quality of timber stands, under varying market prices and under
different operating techniques.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 14

DIVISION OF AIR SERVICE

General

The fiscal year 1949-50 saw considerable expansion of the activities of this
Division. Provision had been made in the two previous years through the addition of
our new Hangar and the procurement of additional equipment — and the fiscal year
concerned saw us in a favorable position to undertake these expanded activities. The
fire season itself could be regarded as normal, and although there were more fires than
in the preceding two years, fewer reached the out-of-control stage, and the aggregate
damage as a result thereof was considerably less than in former years. We attribute
this, to some extent, to the fact that we now have more aeroplanes of a type that will
operate out of smaller bodies of water, thus enabling us to get at the source of incipient
fires much more easily and much more quickly than has been the case in the past.

There has also been considerable expansion of the activities incident to Fish
and Wildlife administration. The inauguration of registered trap lines necessitated a
tremendous amount of travel by oflicers of the Fish and Wildlife Division, and in its
initial stages it probably required a lot more supervision than will be the case in
succeeding years when the program has become solidly established. This not only
involved increased travel in areas with which we had been dealing, but also involved
our taking in a very sizeable piece of country which we generally refer to as the
Patricia area. To facilitate travel in this district it became necessary to establish quite
a number of gasoline caches. We now carry gasoline at two points on Hudson's Bay,
namely, Weenusk and Severn, and quite a number of inland caches, among which are
Lansdowne House, Big Trout Lake, Big Sandy Lake. Bear Skin Lake, and several
others. Gasoline at most of these inland points has to be placed there either by air
or by winter transport — and because of the cost involved, we use as little as is neces-
sary, preferring rather to re-fuel our aeroplanes at points where the cost of fuel is
much less.

Normal co-operation with other departments of Government was carried out as
usual. Considerable flying was done for the Department of Mines; the usual amount
for the Provincial Police, the Department of Health, the Department of Highways,
etc. Some measure of co-operation was also accorded the Federal Department of Indian
Affairs, with whom we work very closely in the establishing of registered trap lines.

Emergency flights were carried out as required.

Normal amiable relations were maintained with the Department of Transport
and with the Air Transport Board.

New Construction and Expansion

During the period involved the Department of Public Works built two new
year-round cottages and a workshop for us at Eva Lake; two more cottages and a
workshop at Carey Lake and Kenogami; and it seems quite probable that we will
require to open additional bases at Lauzon Lake and somewhere in the vicinity of
White River at which latter place a new District Headquarters has been established.
There are still a few odds and ends to be cleaned up in the absolute completion of our
new Hangar, but it is hoped that the Department of Public Works will complete this
project in the next fiscal period.

Equipment

During the year the Service took delivery of thirteen Beaver aircraft from the
DeHavilland Company of Canada, and most of these were put in service as they were

Page 15 Division of Air Service

delivered. We have found this aeroplane to be a very useful piece of equipment. Its
maintenance problems are not particularly difficult, and its performance far excels
anything that Canada has ever seen before. Five more of the same type are on order
for delivery in 1950 — and this will bring our fleet up to a total of forty-five aircraft.
In the preceding year our Stinson S.R.9 aircraft were retired from service and were
put up for sale. The last of them has just been sold at the time of compiling this report.

Winter Operations

Winter operations as expanded during the winter of 1948-49 were continued
during the past winter. Beaver aircraft were operated on skis from Toronto. Algonquin
Park, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, Gogama, Chapleau, Geraldton, Port Arthur, Eva
Lake; and two Norseman were operated from Sioux Lookout. This gave us a total of
ten aircraft on winter operations. A good deal of their flying was occupied in the
supervision and enforcement of the Fish and Wildlife regulations, but considerable
flying was also done in the supervision of timber and logging operations, transportation
of scalers, selection of tower sites, and normal transportation incident to the movement
of senior officials through parts of the country which are relatively inaccessible by any
other means of travel.

Maintenance of Service Buildings

Normal maintenance of all Service property was carried out as usual. Painting
and normal repairs were undertaken where necessary in order to keep our property up
to proper standards.

Accidents

During the period involved the Service lost one aircraft Norseman CF-OBC,
which was burned in a forest fire at Sutton Lake in August of 1949. The engine, floats,
and propeller were salvaged, but apart from these the aeroplane was a total loss. A
Beaver went through the ice on early winter operations, north of Chapleau in December
of 1949, but we were able to salvage the aeroplane intact and it was actually flown
back to Sault Ste. Marie for necessary reconditioning. We are very pleased to report
that we had no fatal or serious accidents.

DIVISION OF FISH AND WILDLIFE

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

General

The moose season was closed as a result of findings of last year. Hunting
pressure on deer continued to increase, though much of the increase this year was
absorbed by the north-western part of the province.

Upland game increased in all sections, though the European Hare population
is still low. More generous open seasons were provided and a special feature was an
open season on Hungarian Partridge in our six easternmost counties. These birds
were very abundant.

Fur bearing animals were generally in reasonable supply, and there was con-
tinued progress in the establishment of trap-line management on both public and
private lands. As a necessary preliminary to the establishment of trapping on a quota
basis, the season on marten was closed generally and fisher closed north and west of
North Bay. Over the whole far northern area the recent die-off of beaver produced
a slightly lower crop, but the beaver harvest over the whole province remains high.

The Division co-operated with the Wildlife Management Institute Pelee Island
pheasant investigation and with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service on
woodcock investigations.

There were 41,823 pheasants distributed of which 5.666 were day-old chicks,
35,199 poults and 958 adults.

ALGONQUIN PROVINCIAL PARK NATURALIST PROGRAM

The season 1949-50 was the sixth for the Alsionquin Park Naturalist Program.
Despite its similarity to programs in national and state parks in the L'nited States,
it arose spontaneously, as a result of public demand. The program of the summer of
1944 was organized by Prof. J. R. Dymond, of the L'niversity of Toronto, a summer
resident of Smoke Lake, at the urgent request of the Department. It has since been
expanded and organized to meet public needs.

This year one nature trail was enlarged to make a total of three trails with
labels identifying the plants, trees, shrubs and other points of nature interest. Accord-
ing to actual count of nature trail registration. 6.440 Park visitors used the trails
and there were many requests for more trails.

The Park Naturalists gave 34 nature talks at the various hotels and lodges.
These evening gatherings were attended by a total of 1.200 people. Coloured slides
were used to illustrate the geography, history and purpose of the Park. Stress was
laid upon the wildlife and its natural environment, and the interdependence of plants
and animals. These points, as well as identification of the Park flora and fauna were
again emphasized in the nature hikes. A total of 353 hikers attended the 26 conducted
nature hikes.

This year also saw the beginning of construction on the Park Museum of
Natural History. When completed, this will serve as a focal point for the nature
program. Here, on display, will be specimens and exhibits explaining the wildlife
of the Park. With this in mind, a representative insect collection was started this
year. In addition, collections representing the trees, shrubs, plants, and small mammals
were made. A project was started to study the ecology of a typical bog lake. With
the information and specimens gathered it is hoped that an exhibit can be built to
show the history, flora, fauna and the importance of such a lake.

To further the enjoyment and the education of the visitor, a pamphlet was
written to describe the Park and the program. This was distributed at the Park
entrances with the travel permits.

In Algonquin Park, w'here conventional entertainment is at a minimum and
where the emphasis is placed upon the natural environment, an interpretive service
such as this is a step toward public education as a means of gaining public co-operation.
Only through public contact on a popular level, can the work of management and
research be brought to light and appreciated. It is recognized that an interest in
natural history is an important incentiv^e in bringing people to Algonquin Park rather
than to one of the many other places where outdoor recreation is available.

BEAR BOUNTY 1949-1950

Lender The Wolf and Bear Bountx- Act. 1946, a SIO.OO l)ount>- is [laid on any
bear 12 months of age or over, and a $5.00 bounty is paid on any bear under 12 months
of age. which has been killed between April 15th. and November 30th. in a township
of which 25 'r of the total area is devoted to agriculture, and which is located in one
of the counties or districts described in the Regulations. The Act further specifies that
the bear must be killed in defence or preservation of livestock or property, by a bona
fide resident of the township.

The following is a comparative statement, showing the bear bounty statistics
for a period of five years, ending with the fiscal year 1949-1950.

It will be noted from the above table that the statistics for the last fiscal year,
show a marked increase in the number of bears killed. This may indicate that the low
period in the bear cycle, was reached in the fiscal year ending 1948.

There were 750 claims for bounty involving 803 bears, and 122 bear cubs
considered by the Department, of which. 1 1 claims representing 1 1 bears, were refused
for various reasons.

The following table shows the number of bears and cubs killed in each of the
counties and districts on which applications for bounty were received. These figures
do not include the bears hunted and killed by sportsmen, on which bounty is not

FUR FARMING 1949

During the first part of the calendar year 1949, the market for ranch raised
mink pelts appears to have struck the low level on its gradual decline from the high
wartime prices. These prices insofar as good quality standard mink were concerned,
were slightly above the high cost of production. However, by fall, the market showed
a steady improvement in demand and price levels, and ranchers once again received,
for good quality pelts, prices reminiscent of wartime.

Silver fox in all its phases, continued to bring prices well below production
costs. The depressed fox market has been an asset in one sense, in that it has forced
a general housecleaning in the fox industry which was long overdue. Many ranchers
who raised inferior pelts have been forced out of the business, the remainder pelted
out all but a nucleus of their finest breeding stock. These circumstances would indicate
that only the finest pelts will be available when market conditions improve to the

point where profit can be realized, which should put the fox industry on the soundest
basis in its history.

The unstable market in the first part of this year and the general condition of
the industry resulted in a net decrease of 268 ranches in the Province. There was a
total of 1,392 licences issued during the calendar year 1949. Of these. 1,274 were
renewals of previous licences, 108 for newly established ranches and 10 licences were
issued with retroactive provisions to legalize the operation of ranches during the
previous year. Table No. 2

WOLF BOUNTY 1949-1950

In accordance with the provisions of The Wolf and Bear Bounty Act, 1946,
a $25.00 bounty was paid on timber and brush wolves three months of age and over
and a S5.00 bounty was paid on timber and brush wolves under three months of
age. However, under an amendment to this Act. the bounty on wolf pups was
increased from S5.00 to 515.00. effective June 7th. 1949. and all claims for bounty
on wolf pups submitted on and after that date, were paid at the new rate.

On wolves killed in provisional judicial districts, the Department pays the
whole bounty, whereas on those killed in counties, the Department pays 40 'c of the
bounty with the remaining 60'* being paid by the respective county.

During the 25-year-period from 1925 to March 31st. 1950. the Province has
expended SI. 183.464.00 in bounty for the destruction of 65,972 wolves and 1.048 wolf
pups. This figure does not include the monies expended by the counties on wolf
bounty.

In the period covered by this report, the Department considered 1,757 claims
for bounty on 2.544 wolves. Of these, 24 claims on 30 wolves were refused for various
reasons, principally because of the illegal use of snares during the deer season.

The following is a computation of the bounty paid in counties and districts,
and showing the bounty paid on wolf pups at the old and new rates.

ENFORCEMENT
A staff of some two hundred conservation officers patrol the province to insure
enforcement of the Game and Fisheries Act. the Special Fishery Regulations and the
Migratory Birds Convention Act. These officers are under the direct control of the
District Foresters in their respective areas, and are assisted by the Ontario Provincial
Police, Royal Canadian Mounted Police and deputy game wardens appointed from
interested sportsmen. The following details show some results of their activities.

Seizures

During the annual period April 1, 1949 to March 31, 1950. there was a total
of 2.697 cases in which equipment was seized due to the fact that it was being used in
various ways which constituted infractions of the legislation and regulations.

Charges were laid against violators in a total of 2,946 cases in which infrac-
tions of the legislation and regulations it is our duty to enforce had either been wit-
nessed or disclosed upon investigation.

In 2,704 cases convictions were registered. Charges were dismissed in 102
cases. Charges were withdrawn in 140 cases for various reasons such as where two
or more charges were originally laid against an individual, or for lack of supporting
evidence when the case was further investigated

Many violations were of an extremely important nature, such as:

Illegal taking and possession of beaver

Unlawful hunting and trapping in Crown Game Preserves and Provincial Parks

General

The Game and Fisheries Act provides that articles "used in violation of this
Act and found in the possession of any person suspected of having committed an offence
against this Act shall be seized, and upon conviction, be forfeited to and become the
property of the Crown in the right of Ontario and sold by the Department."

In many cases where the offences were of a minor character, the jiersons from
whom seizures were made were given an opportunity to redeem the articles seized u[-)on
payment of a specified fee fi.xed by the Department. This arrangement applies prin-
cipally to firearms and fhshing tackle. The amount realized from such .sales amounted
to $5,319.80.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 34

There are also many cases which are sufficiently serious to warrant definite
confiscation to the Crown. Such articles are disposed of in annual public sales.

Table No. 19

Three such sales were conducted by the Department during the period under
review, as follows:

May fishing tackle sale $ 807.56

June fur sale, confiscated furs 2,457.45

October sale of firearms and miscellaneous equipment 3,788.26

Total $7,053.27

During the period under review Conservation Officers in the course of their
operations, and in addition to many other duties, performed the following services:

1. Seized equipment in 2,697 cases, 166 of which covered unknown persons.

2. Prosecuted some 2,934 cases and obtained convictions in 2,692 cases.

3. Obtained fines totalling $47,854.

4. Realized $12,373.77 from the sale of confiscated articles.

5. Aided in distribution of millions of fish and the re-stocking of thousands of
pheasants.

6. Spent a great deal of time, after hours, working with organized groups in the
interest of conservation.

GAME FISH SECTION

Hatcheries and Rearing Stations

Excellent progress was made in the culture and distribution of the various
species of both commercial and game fish which were reared in 27 provincial hatcheries
this year. The total output of fish was in excess of any yearly distribution since 1943.

It is of particular interest that 37.550 maskinonge fingerlings, ranging in size
from 2" to 7", were distributed to suitable waters. This number is greater than that
of any previous distribution and followed special investigation of waters to insure for
the species a high degree of suitability.

Another important item was the re-stocking of Trout Lake, in Widdifield
Township, District of Xipissing, with 800 Ouananiche fingerlings. These were the
result of spawn-taking operations on this lake in the autumn of the previous year.
The breeding stock has resulted from Ouananiche yearlings which the former Depart-
ment of Game and Fisheries originally planted in Trout Lake in 1935.

Pembroke Trout Rearing Station was closed during the year so that extensive
repairs and alterations could be made in order to increase the efficiency of the
hatchery.

Page 35 Division of Fish and Wildlife

Biological Projects

The biological projects undertaken during the year, consisted of the following:
bass harvesting, sea lamprey control, Atlantic salmon experiments, controlled poisoning
of a lake containing undesirable species of fish to determine the possibility of establish-
ing desirable species, creel census studies, fish tagging and biological surveys of lakes
and streams.

Bass Harvesting

During the summer months, adult smallmouth bass and largemouth bass were
harvested from the following lakes and distributed to suitable waters: Barton, Bastedo,
Cat. Davern, Fox, Little Gull. Little Silver, O'Reilly and Shoepac.

Sea Lamprey Control

Operations for the control of sea lamprey were continued. A number of weirs
were set in selected streams flowing into the North Channel. ^Nlany other locations
are being studied to determine their suitability for lamprey control operations.

Removal of Coarse Fish

Xets were operated on the following waters for the removal of undesirable
species: Bark Lake, Emily Creek. Kamaniskeg Lake, Xonquon River, Scugog Lake,
Twenty-Minute Lake and Wolfe Lake.

Atlantic Salmon Experiment

Studies relating to the re-establishment of the Atlantic salmon in Lake Ontario
were continued in Duffin Creek at Pickering.

Fish Poisoning

In Silver Lake at Port Dover, the coarse fish were removed by poisoning, and
yellow pickerel fry were planted. This plan seemed to offer considerable prospect for
the production of fingerling pickerel.

Creel Census Studies

Creel census studies were conducted on a number of waters to determine the
proportion of hatchery-reared trout in the angler's catch. This project included waters
in the district of Thunder Bay and Algoma. and in the counties of Bruce, Grey,
V'ictoria, Peterborough and Haliburton.

Fish Tagging

Six hundred yellow pickerel were tagged at the outlets of the Moon, Shawanaga
and French rivers to determine the facts regarding the movements of this species and
its availability to the anglers and commercial fishermen.

The program, initiated last year, of tagging smallmouth bass in Georgian
Bay, was continued and 250 additional smallmouth bass were tagged.

Biological Surveys

A long term project is being conducted on Long Point Bay, Lake Erie, to
determine the relationshop of commercial fishing to angling.

Investigations of a biological nature were made on a number of lakes and
streams, with a view to the establishment of a sound fish-management plan. These
were either initial surveys or extensions of previous ones. The waters studied were
as follows :

com:\iercial fishing

Commercial fishing licences issued for Ontario waters in 1949 totalled 2.675
and the industry employed some 3.930 persons. The principal gear fished was gill
nets and there were 1.071 gill net licences issued. The main areas for pound net fishing
were Lakes Erie, St. Clair and Rainy Lake and the total of all pound net licences for
Ontario was 183. Hoop net licences issued totalled 275, and the majority were issued
for eastern Lake Ontario, the waters of the Rideau system, in south-eastern Ontario
and Lake of the Woods in the Kenora district. Other commercial fishing licences
issued included — seines for coarse fish; separate baited hook licences for sturgeon.
lake trout, catfish and bullheads; and 710 commercial minnow licences.

The harvest of commercial fish for the calendar year ending December 31. 1949
was 34.061.361 lbs. and the landed value of this catch amounted to S5.496.836.88. The
1949 production is an increase of 5.119.570 lbs. or 17.7' r over the yield of 1948.

This 1949 production was the highest since 1945 when the catch reached 34^:;
million. The principal factor which brought about this highest catch over the past four
years, may be attributed to the harvest of the blue pickerel (blue pike-perch) which
for 1949 was 9,830.912 lbs. This in an increase of this species of some 4.046.772 lbs.
or 69.9 'f over the previous year.

The blue pickerel population of Lake Erie produces the bulk of the provincial
yield of this species and the production for Lake Erie blue pickerel for 1949 was
9,783.819, which is an increa.se of 70.4',/ or 4.041.622 pounds over 1948.

The blue pickerel in Lake Erie, as a general rule, appear in large numbers
every four to five years, thus the large yield of this species, in all probability, came
from the 1944 hatch. The previous peak production years were in 1943. 44 and 45.
From catch data available it would therefore seem reasonable to assume that the
harvest of blue pickerel in Lake Erie will drop considerably after 1950. Two other
species, although not as significant as the blue pickerel, contributed somewhat to
the overall increase in production for 1949. These were whitefish and yellow pickerel,
both with an increase of approximately ' j million ])i)unds respectively over the 1948
yield.

Only two .species, lake herring and lake trout, showed any marked decrease in
catch over the previous year. The peak of the lake herring harvest in recent years
was reached in period 1945-47 and a decrease was anticipated in the yield of this
species. Lake trout, which has shown an alarming drop in the provincial annual yield

for a number of years, has again decreased in production over the previous year.
This decrease amounted to 86,331 lbs. and the lower yield of lake trout in Lakes
Superior and Ontario and in northern inland waters accounted for this. Lake Huron
lake trout harvest is again insignificant. This once great lake trout area, which in
1936, the last good production year, yielded over 2 million pounds, produced in 1949
only 3.207 lbs

Lake Erie. Georgian Bay and northern inland waters all had a substantial
increase in total catch for 1949 over the previous year. Lake Erie had an overall
increase of 4,166,686 lbs. due to the large yield of blue pickerel. Georgian Bay
produced an overall increase of 650.087 lbs., attributable mainly to a larger catch of
whitefish. The whitefish in Georgian Bay showed a steady decline from 1939 to 1947.
decreasing from a catch of over one million pounds and reaching its lowest production
of 87,316 lbs. in 1947. The prospects of an increased yield in whitefish in Georgian
Bay appeared evident in that 1948 showed a substantial gain over the low catch of
1947 and again in 1949 the yield of whitefish in Georgian Bay reached 804.947 lbs.
which is the highest catch since 1940.

A general increase in production for all species in the commercial catch was
recorded for northern inland waters. The gain amounted to some 624.764 lbs. and
was attributed to a slight increase in whitefish. northern pike, yellow pickerel and
tullibee.

DEVELOPMENTS IX THE FISHING INDUSTRY

Nylon Nets

The introduction of the use of nylon twine in gill net fishing in the Great
Lakes has brought about a very definite improvement, according to the fishermen, in
netting fish. Many of the gill netters of Lake Erie in the past year have replaced their
cotton and linen twine with nylon and reports from these fishermen indicate, in some
instances, that the nylon net may be as much as three times as efficient as either cotton
or linen twine.

Trap Nets

The pound net fishing industry of Lake Erie is also looking for improvement in
fishing methods through a more efficient and economical type of gear. During the
past year a few of the pound netters have replaced some of their pound nets with
trap nets on an experimental basis for the purpose of obtaining some definite data
as to the efficiency of trap nets as compared to pound nets.

INVESTIGATIONS

Lake Trout Baited Hook Licences

Investigations were continued in connection with the baited hook licences in
the Georgian Bay area. This investigation has been conducted during the summer
months of 1948 and 1949 and additional work is to be carried on next vear as well.

FIRE AND HAZARD CONDITIONS

Meteorological records indicate that the 1949 season was the driest on record
in some areas, especially the southerly portion of the Province. When precipitation did
occur it was, in most instances, accompanied by lightning which resulted in a total
of 468 fires starting from that source. This number of lightning fires is considerably
above the average for a normal season. During the last few days of August, 68
lightning fires were being fought.

Periods of high hazard occurred in early IMay in the Western and Mid- Western
Regions, early June in the Northern and Central Regions, early July across the
Province and the most severe hazard was from August 8th to August 30th in the
Central and Southern Regions. On August 19th, 170 fires were being fought. No
serious fail hazard developed.

The area under protection in 1950 was approximately 173,000 square miles or
110,720,000 acres.

FIRE CONTROL PLANNING

Progress in fire control planning during the year included the placing of fly-
wheel magnetizers and coil and condenser test sets in each district workshop, the
supplying of aerial cameras to all aircraft, the installation of a Fire Data Board in
Main Office, the testing of various types of tractors and the Michigan Sulky Plow for
fire line construction, the ordering of fifty steel lookout towers for erection in 1950,
the adoption of standard terminology for describing the condition of fires, the develop-
ment of a standard aircraft fire detection form, the planning of a tank truck unit for
development and construction in 1950 and the establishment of an Equipment Com-
mittee to act as a clearing agency for all problems pertaining to equipment.

FOREST INSECT AND DISEASE CONTROL

The policy of co-operating with the Dominion Department of Agriculture in
the study and control of forest insects and tree diseases was continued. The Forest
Insect Laboratory at Sault Ste. Marie owned by the Ontario Government and staffed
and operated by the Dominion provides a ready source of information concerning the
location and degree of insect infestation and effective control measures.

IMPROVEMENTS

The Department of Public Works carried out the construction of the larger
buildings and renovation of fish hatcheries. The Department of Lands and Forests
carried out the construction of the smaller buildings and repair and maintenance of
buildings, fish hatcheries, telephone lines, etc.

LAND AND
RECREATIONAL AREAS

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 58

DIVISION OF LAND AND RECREATIONAL AREAS

Based on study of the results of actual practice, policy and procedure relating
to all forms of land disposition and use was changed from time to time during the year
with a view, among other things, to treating applications more rapidly and more
completely, having regard to the necessity of satisfying the applicant and at the same
time properly enforcing the provisions of The Public Lands Act and the regulations,
to the eventual benefit of both. The successful application of this policy dictates its
continuance. New regulations have been drafted and will probably be put into effect
during the next year. Amendments to the Act simplify the granting of Free Grant
patents in certain instances and pave the way for a more effective and rapid clean-up
of this type of land tenure. Also, the granting of pine releases in bona fide cases,
whether or not the land involved is in timber licence.

Summer Resort Land

Sales made and patents issued increased during the year, this being due in large
measure to the filing of a large number of surveys which in turn was the result to
some extent of assistance rendered to surveyors by the Department.

Agricultural and Allied L'ses

A gratifying increase in some phases of land disposition in this category is
noted, largely because of improved administrative practice. The number of locations
made to returned soldiers is about the same as last year. A slight increase in the
number of both sales and patents involving land for special use is noted. This section
of the regulations has in the past been misused but as a result of change in policy
has during the past year been used primarily to clean up old outstanding cases, for
which purpose, specifically, it was originally designed. The number of land use permits
issued increased. This form of tenure is preferred and encouraged where land use is
temporary in such cases as hunt camps, the location of which may be moved from
year to year. In Crown townsites the number of sales made decreased for the reason
that such land is rapidly becoming scarce. On the other hand the number of patents
increased, due primarily to improved follow-up and inspection procedure and in some
cases as a result of modification of sale conditions which, as originally set up, were
difficult, if not impossible, to execute because of changing conditions.

Veterans' Land

Many applications were dealt with pursuant to the provisions of The Ontario
Dominion-Provincial Agreement (1946) which was made under and by virtue of the
provisions of the Veterans" Land Act (Dominion), section 35, 6, Geo. VL 1942. The
number completed for agricultural use increased while the small holdings decreased.
The Department continued to co-operate most fully with the Dominion Government
in the placement of veterans on Crown land, and in addition to new sale agreements
completed there were a number of conversions from sales made in the ordinary way
under The Public Lands Act to Agreements for Sale.

DIVISION OF LAW

The following is a resume of the activities of this Division for the period from
the 1st of April, 1949, to the 31st of March, 1950:

The duties of the Division are as indicated in the Administrative Chart.

During the 1950 Session of the Legislature there were amendments to five
Acts governing the administration of the Department, and The Provincial Parks Act,
1950, was created to replace the previous Provincial Parks Act.

There was a minor amendment to The Surveys Act adding certain townships
to the group of townships named in section 21. subsection (2). This was for the
purpose of improving administration.

There were 41 amendments to The Game and Fisheries Act, 1946. Of this
number, several were of a minor nature. Some of the major amendments were for
the purpose of making it more difficult for hunters and fishermen who have a penchant
for evading game laws, by strengthening the legislation in instances where technical
defences with respect to violations had previously been successfully pleaded. A few
years ago a provision was made for the sealing of beaver pelts. This proved so success-
ful in minimizing the illegal trapping and shipment of beaver that an amendment to
seal fisber and marten is expected to lessen illegal trapping and shipping of these
species also.

More flexibility in the creation of open seasons for taking certain furs and
animals is provided by allowing regulations to be made by the Minister rather than
by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council.

A new section was added to The Public Lands Act to allow greater freedom in
the issue of Letters Patent to actual settlers who have complied with the statutory
settlement reciuirements.

The previous Provincial Parks Act was repealed, and a new Act allowing greater
facility of administration of the vast recreational areas of the Province is established.

An amendment to The Forest Fires Prevention Act substitutes for the words
"close season" the words "fire season". As the words "close season" are frequently
used in the Game and Fisheries Act, it was felt that the public would more readily
understand the intent of the phrase "fire season" when used in the Forest Fires
Prevention Act.

There was a minor amendment to The Provincial Land Tax Act which does
not affect the public generally.

During the year the Chief of the Division appeared in various courts on
Departmental business. Some appearances were for matters arising under the Game
and Fisheries Act, but the majority concerned appeals under the Provincial Land
Tax Act. In addition, discussion groups were held with conservation officers in
various districts for the purpose of discussing enforcement problems. Lectures were
given to various classes at the Ranger School dealing with the Statutes, regulations
made thereunder and instructions with respect to enforcement matters.

TRAINING

Head Office Staff Course

The Head Office staff course, which was instituted during the 1942-43 fiscal
year, was again given to members selected from both Field and Head Office staffs. In
all, 26 employees were enrolled for complete or partial courses under this scheme of
Training.

This course may well be described as an orientation course, whereby employees,
who appear to be of administrative calibre or who have been promoted to administra-
tive posts and are considered likely to advance in the service of the Department, are
given instruction by means of lectures and practical application to the work of the
various Head Office Divisions, thereby acquainting them with all of the functions of
the Department. It also serves to answer, particularly for those employed in the Field,
the question — "Why does Head Office do it that way?"

The Districts represented at these courses were Cochrane. Chapleau. Geraldton.
Kenora. Lake Erie, North Bay, Parry Sound, Quinte, Sault Ste. Marie and
Temiskaming

Job Relations Training

In July, 1949, Mr. John G. Birkett was appointed as Training Officer. Having
been employed in Staff and Safety Training in the Mining Industry for some time,
Mr. Birkett came to us with a good background of experience. He participated in
lectures given to the students at the Ranger School, and, in January, 1950. conducted
a Job Relations Training Course at the Ranger School with eight members of the
teaching and administrative staffs in attendance. All qualified and certificates were
issued to them accordingly. ]\Ir. Birkett's decision to return to industry shortly there-
after was regretted by all, as the Department lost, thereby, the services of an
exceptionally capable training officer.

Accident Prevention, Health and Safety

Continued rise in the number of Workmen's Compensation claims and the
accident rate within the Department is cause for considerable concern. Careful investi-
gation of all factors concerned show that, while the increase in the accident rate
appears to have been rapid, it cannot be regarded as an indication of undue careless-
ness in the organization. In the main, it is due to the acceleration of the Department's
programme in field activities. A large proportion of these accidents occur in combat-
ing forest fires. The rapid expansion in this and other services rendered by the
Department has involved the recruitment of a considerable number of new staff, and,
as the two major causes of compensatory accidents are "falls" and "axe cuts", it is
reasonable to conclude that as new staff become accustomed to negotiating rough
terrain over which many of our activities take them and to handling the implements
that they are required to use. the accident rate will be lowered considerably.

Accident Prevention Training is directed towards the reduction of this un-
wanted condition. Eight Information Circulars dealing with this subject were issued
for the instruction of staff in accident prevention and safety measures. The subject
has been one for consideration at all departmental conferences and wherever groups
of departmental personnel have been gathered together for instruction.

Page 101 Division of Operation and Personnel

Because of the large and increasing number of vehicles and pieces of auto-
motive equipment, it was recognized that training in the supervision and main-
tenance of vehicles and automotive equipment was most essential. Accordingly, two
groups from the Department were enrolled in each of the Seventh Annual ]\Iotor
Fleet Supervisory Training Course and the Third Annual Motor Vehicle Maintenance
Course. iDoth conducted by the Division of Public Safety of the University of Toronto
(University Extension). As a result of these courses, it was decided to continue enroll-
ing other groups of departmental personnel in subsequent courses. The Department's
approach to the accident problem is first from the standpoint of staff welfare, and
second from that of economic loss in terms of Workmen's Compensation claims, time
and partial disruption of operations.

First Aid

Close to three hundred employees of the Department have qualified for some
one of the various certificates issued by the St. John Ambulance Association — an
organization which has given this Department excellent support in First Aid Training.
In all Departmental establishments, first aid supplies are now a routine item in equip-
ment. First aid kits of various sizes are provided, to take care of the varying numbers
of staff employed at each establishment. All department vehicles are equipped with
first aid kits of a size that may be placed in the glove compartment of the vehicle.
Individual kits are provided for employees whose work may take them some distance
from groups of other employees or from bases where larger size first aid kits are
available. Firms supplying these first aid kits have co-operated by re-arranging the
standard equipment and by including certain other items that the Department
considered essential.

The Department acquired three units of a new type of resuscitator. They
have been distributed to strategic points and these machines have already proven their
worth. One of them located at Ipperwash Beach Park was the means of saving the
life of a holidayer at that resort in August. 1949. As well, these machines have been of
valuable assistance in cases of illness, serving both as inhalators and aspirators.

I'lans for advancing training in accident prevention, health and safety
measures are in hand and our programme in that respect will be extended.

Once again we must pay tribute to the excellent co-operation of the Department
of Health, through its industrial hygiene, tuberculosis prevention, sanitary engineering
and other divisions. In particular, we wish to acknowledge the services rendered staff
at Head Office and nearby establishments, through the Civil Service Health Centre,
and the whole-hearted co-operation of its physician-in-charge and his very competent
staff.

R.ANGER School

The Ontario Forest Ranger School has continued to provide instruction for
Departmental jiersonnel. the nominees of the Forest Industries of Ontario, student
groups from the University of Toronto, and, as well, to provide facilities for occasional
courses given to outside groups. During this fiscal year, 45 students from the various
Districts attended the Ranger School, and 41 of them completed the courses success-
fully and (|ualifted for the dijiloma.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 102

OFFICE MANAGEMENT
General

Owing to the scheduled retirement of a senior member of this Division at the
end of the year, a considerable proportion of the work previously handled by him
devolved upon this section and was progressively turned over, so that there would be
no break in the service when the retirement took effect. Some of the duties so trans-
ferred consisted of Preparation of Leases and Leasing of Properties. Arranging Con-
ferences, Supervision of Permanent Records Sub-section. Space Adjustments, etc.

By means of a re-arrangement of staff, the additional duties were assumed, one
extra clerk typist being employed.

Locating, Purchasing and Expediting of Equipment and Supplies

The conditions of scarcity of equipment and supplies which were so noticeable
during the immediate post-war period were alleviated considerably. In most lines,
delivery could be obtained immediately, or within a reasonable time, and through a
greater competition in the supply field, a slight easing of prices was experienced in
some cases. This tendency was most noticeable in office furniture and equipment,
although a general increase in prices took place in certain instances. The importation
of high quality equipment and steel furniture from Britain was of marked assistance
in obtaining favourable prices and good delivery. Thus the majority of service
requirements were filled satisfactorily and without undue delay.

Inventory Control

The modified equipment accounting procedure, by which each administrative
District maintains its own perpetual inventory, was put into effect in all field offices.
Equipment records are maintained on a card system, which gives an accurate picture
of total physical stocks and valuation at any time, as well as the distribution of the
equipment within the District. Inventory Record Cards, in two colours, are used,
one to record all inventory items, and the other to include minor items which are of
too small a cost to include in the inventory, but of which a record must be main-
tained. Work was commenced on a complete vocabulary of equipment, with standard
nomenclature, as a guide to all concerned as to the items to be shown on inventory
and those which are classified as maintenance supplies, owing to their low value
and/or short service life. This work will take some time to complete, in view of the
very wide range of equipment in use by various activities of the Department, but
when completed, it will be a much better method of determining correct classifications
than by the price factor alone, as the latter is difficult to follow because of the
continual price changes.

Distribution of Equipment and Supplies

The work of the stockroom staff is seriously hampered by lack of adequate
storage space. This condition is particularly noticeable in the case of articles of
uniform which must be carefully stored to prevent deterioration and damage by moths,
etc. However, by utilizing every available square foot of space, it has been possible
to carry on and give efficient and prompt service to all branches.

Page 103 Division of Operation and Personnel

Express and Freight shipments to District Offices reached a total of about 160
tons consisting of approximately 12,000 separate parcels. This was a considerable
increase over the previous year. Over and above these shipments, 774,470 licenses
were issued on 1 1.366 separate orders and mailed to License Issuers. This is an increase
of approximately 73,000 licenses on about 2000 orders more than were filled in the
previous year.

Staff Uniforms

Every effort was made to improve the uniform ecjuipment and thus the appear-
ance of all personnel so outfitted. Continual research was made to improve the
standard of materials, as for example, the former summer attire of serge trousers and
bush jacket, which were found to be lacking in smartness and of unsatisfactory
qualit}' with regard to wear. Laboratory tests were made on several cloths, and as
a result, it was decided to adopt a very neat suit of matching serge trousers and wind-
breaker of a mixture or blended material, the colour of which is slightly lighter than
standard khaki. The original identification ilashes as worn on the shoulders of
tunics, etc., were not as smart as could be wished, and after some investigation, it
was decided to change from the original red lettering on black background, to gold
lettering on black, using somewhat smaller letters, and thus achieving a much neater
effect. Also, instead of having Divisional flashes of rectangular shape to indicate
the individual's sphere of activity stitched on below the Departmental title, the new
flashes incorporated all the necessary designations in one. Brown leather belts for
wear with the trousers of summer uniforms were approved and issued to all uniformed
personnel apart from Conservation Officers, who wear Sam Browne belts.

Duplicating, Printing, Distribution of Printed Matter

The addition of a second Multilith machine to the equipment already in use
in the printing room improved the service from that sub-section considerably. Pre-
viously, personnel had found it necessary to do a great deal of overtime work to
keep up to the demand. On receipt of the new machine, the old one was sent out for
a complete overhaul, and on its return, the back-log of work w'as brought up to date
and additional work, previously handled by outside printers, taken on with a resultant
saving to the Department. A new paper cutter was purchased to replace the old one,
which was found to be so badly worn that it was impossible to depend on any degree
of accuracy whatever.

Production by the ^Slultilith reached a total of 3,933,000 impressions, of which
about 426.500 were Departmental letterhead. This constitutes an increase of
1,164,600 impressions.

Production by mimeograph process increased by 154,300 to a total of 508,100
impressions. This production was run from 1,786 stencils forwarded by various
divisions for processing.

The production of the Multilith machines is almost entirely taken up on the
production of letterhead and various forms, booklets, pamphlets, etc., while that of
the mimeograph is mainly circulars, news releases, circular letters, etc.

When small runs are required from the nuihilith. the copy is typed directly on
to a paper plate and 987 of these were prepared l)y the \'ari-typer Operator. For long

Report of the Department of Lauds and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31 , 1950 Page 104

runs, or permanent plates, the copy is typed on paper by the Vari-type Operator and
photographed for transfer to a metal plate. The Vari-type Operator produced 863
various pieces of copy of this type during the year.

Servicing and Sp.ace Adjustments

Servicing continues to assume greater proportions with added mechanical
devices in Departmental offices. Every effort is made to keep office machinery working
in the most efficient manner possible and other services are taken care of as required.

It has not been possible to effect many space adjustments because of the lack
of space which could be utilized. Owing to the move of certain laboratories of the
Department of Health to a new location, it is hoped that it will be possible to secure
additional office space which is so urgently required to enable personnel to perform
their duties more efficiently.

Conferences

The arrangements for various conferences were one of the new duties assigned
to this section as outlined under the heading " General"". The first and largest con-
ference to be handled was the Annual District Foresters" Conference early in
January. Although the securing of necessary space for such a large group is always
a problem, it was possible to carry this out satisfactorily and no serious difficulties
were encountered during the ten days of meetings. Other conferences handled during
the year were the Trappers" Conference, Timber Operators" Conference, Fish and
Wildlife Meetings with various Hunting and Angling Clubs, Conservation Officers
Trainee Groups and two Head Office Staff Courses

Properties, Leasing, Etc.

This again constituted a new field for this section. The files relating to all
premises owned or leased by the Department were taken over and given considerable
study to familiarize the staff with the background. It was found that service along
these lines could be improved by an efficient follow-up system, which was instituted
and which resulted in a marked speed-up in operations. Close liaison is maintained
with the Department of Public Works and the requirements of many field offices for
additional space, due to marked expansion, were fulfilled expeditiously. It is hoped
that property leases will be taken over by the Department of Public Works in the
near future.

Records Office

The continued expansion of Departmental activities has resulted in an increase
in the number of permanent files by about 2,800 per year. This creates an additional
storage problem as well as much larger volume of file movements to various divisional
offices. It is necessary to relegate a considerable number of older files to the storage
vault at Maple each year, in order to accommodate new entries. The increase in
number of files handled also necessities greater care charging out and crediting files
as well as greater co-operation from divisional offices in recording the movements of
all files in their charge. Otherwise a great deal of time must be consumed in tracing
files which become mislaid, and are thus not available when required.

An increase in requests for messenger service, which is also supplied by the
Records Office, was noted, but all calls were carried out without delay.

INFORMATION

During the year ending March 31, 1950, there was a sustained demand for
departmental publications. While these demands were of a general nature they
received a considerable upswing due to the fact that conservation has been placed on
the curriculum for school teaching. With the inclusion of this subject, there was a
very noticeable increase in the number of requests for publications dealing with the
conservation of our Natural Resources.

Requests from the public for the staff publication Sylva reached a new high
during the year. Due to the ever-increasing demand and the mounting costs of
production it was found necessary to revise the mailing list and place the magazine
on a subscription basis. Commencing with Volume 5, No. 5, a subscription fee of
$1.50 per year was instituted. Those already on the mailing list had previously been
advised of the change. This action had the result of reducing the circulation to about
4,500 copies for the next few issues. There is still a great deal of public interest in
the magazine, however, and circulation on the new basis is steadily increasing.

Distribution of all printed material was given particular attention and the
various publications received a wide coverage. In this connection it may be said that
the mailing lists were maintained in good order and are being constantly revised.

Twenty-five publications were produced and published during the year, as
indicated in the following list:

News Releases

During the year the Weekly News Release aptly named "Conservation Corner"
was issued regularly to every newspaper throughout the Province in addition to Radio
Stations, many magazines, outdoor writers and Game and Fish Protective Associations.
The fifty-two issues of this release averaged about 1,800 words weekly with a grand
total of approximately 93,600 words. This material received a wide coverage from
both the press and radio and has proved of very great value in keeping the public
well informed.

In addition to the News Release, it was found desirable to issue some 47
press releases for immediate circulation through news agencies. These press items
contained urgent matters of public interest which it was felt should have immediate
release rather than wait for the regular channel.

Radio

As indicated elsewhere a great deal of radio coverage was secured through
news releases and fire prevention appeals. Frequent use was also made of the radio
for spot announcements concerning fire hazards and the broadcast of special instruc-
tions covering travel in fire areas.

Assistance was also given in the preparation of several radio scripts relative
to departmental administration.

Advertising

In connection with its conservation work the Information and Education
Section prepared and published some 44 display advertisements with suitable appeals
for the prevention of forest fires, law observance and the wise use of the resources.
A breakdown of these shows that 17 appeared in publications pertaining to the forest
industry; 17 carried their message in National outdoor magazines, while the remaining
10 were displayed in special issues of industrial magazines and newspapers. It is felt
that appeals of this kind are of very great value because of their brief but direct
approach and the fact that they have a wide circulation.

Necessary administrative advertisements covering timber sales and other like
matters to the number of 60 were also placed in newspapers throughout the Province.

Correspondence

The volume of correspondence handled by the section showed a slight increase
over that of the previous year. The total number of letters of enquiry, requests for
publications and other routine matters dealt with approximated 8,065.

A fairly large proportion of the enquiries were for specific information not
readily available in departmental publications, or relating to matters arising out of
the various Acts and Regulations. A great deal of literature was distributed as a
result of requests for same as well as a means of supplementing the written replies.

General

In addition to the activities referred to herein the Section handled a very
heavy volume of telephone enquiries from the public as well as personal requests for
information and publications.

EDUCATION

During the fiscal year of April 1st, 1949. to March 31st, 1950, the Education
Section carried out the following photography.

The two Department photographers took 1,130 photographs. Head Office
officials took 2.342 photos, while field staff took 328 photographs. Enlargements
totalled 22.388 prints. This work covered all Divisions and all phases of Department
activity.

Another five hundred feet of 16 mm. Kodachrome were exposed on the Timber
Salvage Operations and considerable editing was done on all footage taken to date,
bringing the film near possible completion.

A replacement in the position of photographic librarian laid the groundwork
for a new and extensive filing system to facilitate the release of 1,800 different photo-
graphs to the newspapers and the public.

A new negative dryer was installed in the darkroom which has speeded the
processing of film in emergencies.

LECTURE TOURS

Lecture tours were carried out by Public Relations Assistants in six of the
seven regions during the year. Xo appointment had been made to the Northern
Region. ;Mr. B. A. S. Macdonald resigned from the South-Western Region and was
replaced by Mr. S. C. Hudson. Toward the end of the year. Mr. D. Gillespie was
transferred from the Western Region to the Information Section of Head Office but
no replacement was made in the region.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950

Page 110

As of Febrary 15th. each district was made responsible for its own conservation
work and the services of Public Relations Assistants attached to the Regions was
discontinued.

The reason behind this change was the feeling that a much more intensiv^e
campaign of public education could be made by having members of staff from each
district take an active part in the public relations program. This would enable
qualified officials to speak to the public on their own particular branch of the Depart-
ment's work, e.g. Forest Protection, Timber Management. Fish and Wildlife, etc.

Despite the fact that a total of eighty-five school and adult meetings less than
last year were held, the total attendance was nearly seventy thousand greater.

The table (below) contains a complete record of meetings held in all Regions.

Visual Education

No new films were produced by the Department, but a considerable number of
prints of commercial films were previewed with a view to selecting films for our
conservation program. Few of these were fond suitable for our requirements although
we did purchase a copy of "Then It Happened" for forest fire prevention work and
several suited to woodlot management.

Exhibits

There was a considerable increase in exhibits over last year and in addition to
those listed in the table, this Department participated in thirty-one other exhibitions —
most of these were in Southern Ontario and mainly in conjunction with agricultural
fairs. The majority of these smaller exhibits dealt with Reforestation. Forest Protec-
tion and Fish and Wildlife. Officers of the Department were on hand at all exhibits
to answer questions on all phases of the Department's work.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 112

5. Indian Affairs Branch (Forest Protection)

In this agreement the Department has arranged with the Indian Affairs Branch,
Ottawa, to extinguish fires on Indian lands, the cost of which is to be repaid to the
Department by the Indian Affairs Branch.

6. Municipalities

The Department has forest protection agreements with 118 municipahties
which provide that the municipalities take initial action on fires and, if necessary the
Department assist in fire suppression. The cost of fires on private lands is shared
equally and the cost of fires on Crown lands is paid by the Department.

7. International Nickel Company

The Department has an agreement renewed yearly with this company whereby
the company pays one cent per acre, and the Department takes care of fire prevention
and suppression on a block of land owned by the company in Hastings County.

land owned by them in Duncan Township.

9. Army Survey

Agreement with Army Survey Establishment, Department of National Defence,
Dominion of Canada for publication of maps on a scale of 1" equals 2 miles and 1"
equals 4 miles. Department of Lands and Forests supply all map data from Forest
Resources inventory. Army Survey Establishment publish maps and supply Depart-
ment of Lands and Forests with 2,000 copies of each without charge and additional
copies on order at cost of paper and ink only.

10. The Private Forest Reserves Act

Briefly, this Act permits private landowners to establish, in agreement with the
Department, a private forest reserve. The title remains in the owner but no cutting
may be done without consent of the Minister.

11. County Forests (The Municipal Reforestation Act)

Under this Act, municipalities may enter into agreement with the Department
whereby the Department agrees to manage municipally owned land for a stated period.
At the end of the contract period, the county may elect to pay all expenses incurred
by the province and manage the forest themselves: or they may elect that the Depart-
ment pay the original purchase price of the land and assume control: or they may
elect to have the Department manage the forests with them on a 50-50 basis. Twenty-
two counties to date have municipal forests under agreement or awaiting agreement.

13. Fisheries Regulations for the Provinxe of Ontario

The Federal Government of Canada provides regulations under the Fisheries
Act of Canada relating to both game and commercial tishing activities in the Province
of Ontario. It then becomes the sole responsibility of the Ontario Department of
Lands and Forests to implement these regulations.

X.B.: The recently established Fishery Inspection Regulations of the Federal
Government are implemented by federally appointed officers, which is
the only direct action of the Federal Government respecting fisheries
of Ontario at the present time.

14. Migratory Birds Convention Act

Regulations relating to the Migratory Birds Act for the Province of Ontario
are established by the Federal Government of Canada for the Province of Ontario by
arrangement between the two governments, and these regulations become the joint
responsibility of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests and the R.C.^I.P.
with respect to enforcement. It is also recognized by all provinces that management
and research efforts should be co-ordinated both with each other and with those of
the U.S.A.

15. Pelee Island Pheasant Investigation

Pelee Island offers a perfect opportunity for studies of pheasant behaviour and
for the statistical study of a pheasant population throughout the year. In Ontario
pheasants are of concern in a small portion of the Province, but in the L'nited States
they are now the principal upland game species. Hence the Wildlife Management
Institute, Washington. D.C.. carries the project. We supply accommodation and
other assistance and in return are supplied with information necessary for manage-
ment of the Pelee pheasant shoot.

STAFF SUGGESTION PLAN

The Staff Suggestion Plan operated by the Department has a three-fold purpose,
namely, to furnish an orderly method of submitting and considering ideas of the staff;
to recognize and reward the staff for practical and original suggestions; and to promote
the fullest co-operation of all personnel in the Department's operations. From the
standpoint of the administration the plan has the added advantage of revealing the
talents of employees whose suggestions are of a varied and unusually constructive
nature.

Re:

Fire Protection Poster

The phrasing for a new fire protection poster as con-
tained in this suggestion is considered original. An
award of $10.00 is recommended.

Re: H.AND Fire Pump Accessory
Suggestion of innovation of dipper lid in a hand fire
pump is considered original and having some practical
application. Suggestion for carrying provisions in can
is not considered practical due to baffle plates and the
pyossibility of food remaining in can which would
clog the pump and render it less efficient. An award
of $10.00 is recommended for the first part of the
suggestion.

Suggestion 202

H. Taylor,

Re: Installation of Rotary Pressure Pump on
Outboard Motors

The development of this idea would be an engineering
problem which may or may not have practical
application. The adoption of the outboard motor and
a pressure pumper to the operation of pumping water
and a form of jet propulsion is worthy of considera-
tion. An award of SS.OO is recommended.

Suggestion 203

(Forest Protection)

E. Guertin Re: Revision of Form F.P. 25 By Plotting Loca-

Sioux Lookout ^^jon of Fires by Rectangular Co-ordinates.

It is not expected that the location of small fires will
be accurately shown on the map accompanying Form
F.P. 25. Such a method would only apply to those
portions of the Province not surveyed into townships.
The suggestion has originality, but is considered to
have little practical value. An award of SS.OO is
recommended for the merit of the suggestion.

Suggestion 206
(Forest Protection)

H. S. Hutnick Re: Directional Line Method of Locating Fires

.■\ir Service by Ground Crews from Aircr.-mt

This suggestion is not considered as original, and
although the theory is logical, the practical applica-
tion for use of locating fires appears rather question-
able. The necessary modification to aircraft, the
additional weight, the comparatively few times when
men cannot be landed close to fires, height of timber
and topographical characteristics would not warrant
the adoption of the suggestion. It is considered, how-
ever, that the suggestion has merit and an award of
$10.00 is recommended.

Suggestion 210

(Forest Protection)

S. D. Roumbanis, Re: Revision of E.xisting R.adio Co.mmunication

Chapleau System

This suggestion is one of centralization rather than
decentralization of control. To bring the suggestion
into effect would require a change in the departmental
policy of operational costs. While the suggestion can-
not be considered original in the exact meaning of
the word, it has merit and an award of $10.00 is
recommended.

Re: Utility Packbo.ard

The device added to the Klondike type of packboard
to be used for carrying and laying out hose and for
other purposes when not used for carrying hose is
considered to be both original and practical. An
award of S25.00 is recommended.

Re: Fire Line Construction Information
This suggestion, if adopted in principle, would be
that of a special research problem to determine if
statistics as compiled would improve the efficiency
of fire fighting operations. While the idea as suggested
has been the basis of study in United States fire
control for some time, it is felt that as the suggestion
has merit and may have some practical value, an
award of $10.00 is recommended.

Re: Roll Method of Shouldering a Canoe
The instructional steps for the proper method of
shouldering a canoe as contained in this suggestion
as an accident preventive measure is deserving of an
award. An award of $15.00 is recommended

Re: Revision of Form T.M. Ill

At present there are 18.000 T.M. Ill forms in stock.
A revision of the form implementing the ideas con-
tained in this suggestion is not considered warranted
at this time. The suggestion has some merit and an
award of .S5.00 is recommended.

Re: Tempor.ary Repair Kit for Fire Hose
This is a good suggestion and appears to have good
practical application. Further research work would
be necessary. .An award of $20.00 is recommended.

Re: Con, Testing Holder

This coil testing holder is considered to be useful and
a practical piece of equipment, especially when a
number of cells are to be tested. A holder of this
type should be useful for testing more efficiently prac-
tically all makes of ignition coils used on two cycle
engines. .An award of S2S.00 is recommended.

Re: Tr-Actor Heating Unit

While there are heating units available on the market,
the suggestion cannot be considered original. The
suggestion, however, shows initiative and thought in
assembling a practical piece of equipment for which
an award of .SIO.OO is recommended.

Re: J.ACKMiTE Pump and Hose Packboard

This piece of equipment is considered original for

this type of pump. It is believed from experiments

made that it will be both practical and useful in

forest fire operations. .An award of $25.00 is

recommended.

Re: Tow'er Set Battery Eliminator
This suggestion is not considered original in design,
but it is original from a standpoint of application. It
has limited application in our service, but will be use-
ful at some six to eight tower sets where power is
available. .An award of SI 5.00 is recommended.

AID RENDERED TO THE PUBLIC

During the year members of the staff have participated in several rescues of persons whose
lives were endangered through accidents or otherwise.

On July 24 a group of Junior Rangers working near Thessalon were instrumental in
recovering the body of one Walter McCreight within 10 minutes of his drowning while wading in
McCreight Dam, with two of his children. The Rangers applied artificial respiration for four
hours but the unfortunate man could not be revived. A son aged 7 was revived with the help of
the rangers, while the other child suffered no consequences.

A conservation officer in the Parry Sound District while in the course of his duties protecting
one of the fish sanctuaries in the Georgian Bay, saw a boat containing two fishermen capsize
suddenly and throw the men into the water. Within a few minutes he had reached the scene and
dragged the two near-e.xhausted men into his own craft. They apparently suffered no ill effects, but
it was fortunate help was near.

One afternoon in June a loudspeaker-equipped aircraft of the Department was diverted from
i*s patrol by radio, to flfy an injured bushworker from a camp near Rufus Lake to hospital at
Kapuskasing.

The loudspeaker was used to direct the logging crew on the ground to pack the man to a
spot near clear water where the plane could be landed

With the unfortunate man aboard, the officers flew to Kapuskasing and landed on the river.
In a comparatively short time after the incident the patient was resting comfortably in thu
hospital at Kapuskasing.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE

REFORESTATION ^^

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950

Page 118

DIVISION OF REFORESTATION

Tree Distribution

The distribution increased from a figure of 13,000,000 in the previous year, to
17.700,000 in the year under review. As in the previous year the increase was distri-
buted to private landowners, giving them over 11.000.000 trees. The number of trees
planted on municipal and authority forests was increased also to 4,200,000.

Nurseries

Development of the new nursery areas at Orono and St. Williams was con-
tinued. Additional land was purchased at Midhurst in order to expand production.

Extension Forestry and Municipal Forest Management

Inspection of private plantation sites by zone foresters was initiated during the
final four months of the year. The purpose of the inspections is to ensure that the site
is suitable for tree planting and to ensure that a wise selection of species is made.

Eighteen foresters are now employed on extension forestry and municipal
forest management.

Approximately twenty-five hundred cords of pine pulpwood was cut from
municipal forests and sold.

Weeding red pine beds, Kemptville Nursery.

Page 119

Dit'ision of Reforestation

The area of authority and municipal forests under agreement increased by
3.454 acres to reach a total of 66.791 acres. The greatest expansion took place in
Leeds and Grenville Counties, where the area has been increased by 1.923 acres.
In Bruce County. 1.050 acres were added. Dufferin County increased its property by
98 acres. Durham and Northumberland by 81 acres. Grey by 198 acres, and York
by 4 acres.

Regulation of thinning in plantations of seven county forests was completed
during the year and the recommended operations were put into effect. Working plans
for woodlots with the resultant cut regulation figures were completed for three county
forests.

RESEARCH

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 124

DIVISION OF RESEARCH

The Division of Research is a fact-finding organization which furnishes the
Department with information and develops techniques to enable more effective
administration of the natural resources under Departmental jurisdiction. In this
respect the work of the Division is of a pioneering nature, in that it seeks to provide
workable answers to specific as well as basic problems of development.

In the long run, human progress depends on the development of natural
resources, and Ontario's high standard of living and general progress cannot be
maintained lackmg a parallel improvement in the management of her resources of
lands, forests and waters.

As the agency of the Provincial Government charged with the administration
of the bulk of the Province's natural resources, the Department of Lands and Forests
has a difficult and important public duty. In its efforts to assist the Department, the
Division of Research has set up three general operating services to provide:

1. Accurate statements of administrative and technical requirements.

2. Factual information and improved operating techniques.

3. A testing and demonstration service.

To supply the three services indicated above, the Division maintains a staff at the
main Research Station, near INIaple, and regional research ofticers. The staff has been
increasing steadily, totalling 31 full-time and 10 temporary employees in 1949, plus
a seasonal staff averaging 80. Of the permanent staff, 20 were technical and 1 1 non-
technical, while the temporary staff was composed of 2 technical and 8 non-technical
employees. The full-time technical staff included 5 biologists, 2 chemists, 9 foresters,
a mechanical engineer, a photogrammetrist, a soil specialist and a statistician.

The buildings and facilities at the Southern Research Station, Maple, were
further expanded and improved in 1949. The new biological research building and
Quonset storage building were started and largely completed during the year. The
storage building will be ready about July 30 and the biological building about
December of 1950. The fisheries laboratory was further equipped, but the refrigerating
apparatus has still not been delivered. A potting shed was completed for the green-
house. A portion of the woodlot on the property was thinned and the thinnings utilized
for lumber and fuel. The remainder will be done when the building program is com-
pleted. About 500 ornamental trees were set out as well as 300 feet of hedge. A planta-
tion of food plants for wildlife was established. An experimental plantation has been
started on 80 acres of land reserved for research purposes in Gwillimbury township.

The Division co-operates closely with a number of other research organizations
with respect to projects in Ontario. Whenever possible, working arrangements are
being recorded in written agreements and contracts. These exist now with the Research
Council of Ontario, the University of Toronto, and the Science Service of the Federal
Department of Agriculture. Less formal arrangements are in force with the Ontario
Research Foundation, the National Research Council, and the Forestry Branch of the
Department of Resources and Development, Ottawa.

The work of the Division is reported in the following under the main subject
heads of Fisheries, Wildlife, Silviculture, Mensuration, Soils, Pathology, Entomology,
Mechanics and Statistics.

Fisheries

Fisheries research, under the direction of Dr. F. E. J. Fry, was concentrated at
three main centres — the Department's station at South Bay, IManitouHn Island;
the Ontario Fisheries Laboratory, Algonquin Park; and at the Department's Southern
Research Station, Maple.

The South Bay Experiment. To review the object of this experiment, which
was commenced in 1947, it is to determine the benefits to the yield of the more valuable
fish which may result from exerting equal fishing pressure on the less valuable or
worthless fish. Commercial fishing had failed disastrously in several consecutive
previous years, and the population ratio of non-valuable to valuable fish was estimated
to be forty to one.

A responsible advisory committee which sets policy is made up of representatives
of the Ontario Federation of Commercial Fishermen, the Ontario Federation of Anglers
and Hunters, the Northern Ontario Outfitters' Association, the Fisheries Research
Board of Canada, and the Ontario Government. The actual operation of the experi-
ment is directed by a committee, representing the Ontario Federation of Commercial
Fishermen and the Research Division of the Department of Lands and Forests, under
the chairmanship of a representative of the Fisheries Research Board

The program is in two parts, the first being the actual fishing operations which
is directed by the Ontario Federation of Commercial Fishermen, and the second is the
scientific follow-up, which is the responsibility of the Research Division of the
Department.

The work has included a survey of the bottom organisms which are the chief
food of the bass, whitefish and their competitors; the collection of meteorological and
hydrographic data, and the more prominent biological study which consisted largely
of an examination of the catches of fish. The primary purpose of this examination is
to gather information from which a description of the present state of the population
may be made. Biological statistics, gathered year by year, will enable changes in
production to be followed.

Samples are taken of each catch, which are weighed, measured and sex-deter-
mined. Stomachs are examined and samples of scales taken for determination of age.
At times of the year when eggs are well developed, samples of them are taken for
estimation of the fecundity of the various species over their size range.

From these records, the food, the growth, and the general condition of the
various species can be determined. The first body of results from analysis of the data
may be expected soon.

At the conclusion of this experiment it is expected that an appraisal of all of the
research data compiled will provide practical answers to the main fisheries management
problems of Lake Huron.

In 1949 South Bay fisheries yielded 1, 50,000 pounds of fish, as compared with
194,000 pounds for 1948. The decline was due largely to a reduced catch of smelt in
the spring, when streams were low and few entered to spawn.

One result of the research work is that reasonable ])redictions of catch can be
made for one or two years in advance, l)ascd on knowledge of the numbers of different
species of fish present in various age classes.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 126

Tagging studies of fish caught which were previously captured, tagged and
released reveal important information as to migrations in and out of South Bay which
opens into Lake Huron through a narrow channel, and as to movements of fish within
the bay. For example, intensive studies in 1949 show that only a few lake trout
leave the bay, and these during the winter. Whitefish. on the other hand, move out of
the bay in considerable numbers during early summer. Bass show no tendency to leave
the bay, but move freely from place to place in it.

Further investigation was made in 1949 as to methods of preparing and dis-
posing of coarse fish products. Sucker fillets frozen while fresh have proved deliciously
palatable, and there is promise of a small but flourishing market outlet for this product.
Fish meal and oil extracts have been prepared experimentally in small quantities.

During 1949 a start was made in a study of the effects of lamprey preying on
whitefish and lake trout.

Routine study continued on food habits and growth of a wide variety of fish
species.

Ontario Fisheries Research Laboratory, Algonquin Park. A variety of
projects are being undertaken co-operatively between the L^niversity of Toronto and
the Department, centering at the laboratory at Opeongo Lake. Brief accounts of
the main projects follow:

Ckeel Census. This recording of fishing success, initiated in 1936, has two
main purposes. First to follow trends in fishing success in Algonquin Park and thus
allow the Department to decide which lakes require attention, and secondly to find out
whether management techniques such as plantings, lake closures, and chemical
fertilization have any effect in improving fishing.

The census has disclosed a downward trend in lake trout fishing success in the
more accessible southern part of the Park. Plantings have been undertaken to improve
this situation. Speckled trout fishing, although fluctuating, has shown no trend in
recent years. Plantings of speckled trout have had little effect in improving fishing
in recent years. Closure of lakes in alternate years has been adopted to build up wild
stocks of trout in many of the lakes.

The effect of transferring small mouth bass from lakes in which they are
crowded and grow slowly to lakes where food is more abundant is also being studied.

Fertilization of Lakes. In the period 1946 to 1949 fertilizer was applied in
Cache, Brewer, Kearney and McCauley lakes to determine whether this would increase
the production of game fish. Costello, Clarke and Found lakes were left untreated
for check purposes.

A marked increase was noted in phytoplankton and zooplankton populations
and bottom fauna in the fertilized lakes, and produced a distinct bloom on the algae.
A corollary and undesirable effect noted was depletion of oxygen at lower levels, due
to decay of the increased quantity of plant and animal debris. However, several
species of smaller fish showed an increase in numbers. It appears that under nine
pounds of fertilizer to the acre-foot are desirable for continued applications to trout
waters.

Spawning Habits of Speckled and Lake Trout. The study in 1949 of
speckled trout spawning in Algonquin Park lakes indicates that they prefer gravel and

Page 127 Division of Research

sand shoals fed by spring seepage. The lack of these facilities in many of the Park
lakes suggests the construction of artificial beds to encourage natural reproduction.

Lake trout were found to prefer broken rubble shoals composed of rocks one
to three inches in diameter, exposed to the prevailing wind. In Lake Opeongo bullheads
were found preying on lake trout eggs to a considerable degree. Whitefish and suckers
were minor offenders.

Investigation of Speckled Trout in Redrock Lake. Tagging studies in
1949 revealed a very limited population of speckled trout in this lake. About 70 per
cent of the fish of catchable size (over 10 inches) were taken by anglers during the
spring of 1949. The production of this lake appears to be only about one trout per
acre in every alternate year that the lake is open to fishing. Competition of yellow
perch and poor spawning facilities are possible causes for this low production. Before
perch reduction is tried the provision of artificial spawning beds is advocated.

It has also been determined that few speckled trout live longer than six years
even in the lightly fished waters of Algonquin Park. Prolonged closure of speckled
trout waters to build up populations is, therefore, not advisable in most situations.

Southern Research Station, ]Maple, Ontario. In 1948 the Department
with the co-operation of the University of Toronto established a laboratory for experi-
mental limnology at the Southern Research Station near Maple. The building was
completed in 1949 and its facilities first utilized in the fall of the year. Early work
dealing with the effects of o.xygen and temperature on fish was undertaken by a
graduate from the University of Toronto under the direction of Dr. Fry.

It is expected that much of the biological and chemical material collected in
the field will, in future, be analysed at this laboratory in addition to the physiological
experiments already mentioned.

Wildlife

The Wildlife Section carried on several projects during the year under the
direction of C. D. Fowle.

At the Wildlife Research Station and the Wilderness Area in Algonquin Park,
investigations of the role of birds and mammals in the forest environment were con-
tinued. Since the importance of birds and mammals with respect to the distribution
and destruction of seeds and as elements in the food of important fur-bearing predators
such as the fisher and marten, depends largely upon their numbers, much attention has
been given to methods of measuring populations. Since populations of small mammals
show major fluctuations from year to year, studies of reproduction and factors affecting
survival have been studied with a view to determining the causes of the sudden changes
in population.

In an effort to assist Foresters who are interested in the direct seeding of logged
or burned area, methods of protecting tree seeds from destruction by small mammals
were under investigation. To date, no suitable method has been found, but several
promising leads are being followed.

Studies of the ruffed grou.se. an important game bird, have yielded information
on the most suitable types of environment for the species, as well as information on
their movements and relationshi[)s to one another.

Through the courtesy of the Indian Affairs Branch of the Department of
Citizenship and Immigration, the Department has obtained permission to stock an

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31 , 1950 Page 128

island with disease-free ruffed grouse, reared at one of the Department's Game Farms.
It is hoped that a study of an isolated island population may throw some light on the
factors which periodically decimate our grouse population. Since considerable diffi-
culty in rearing disease-free birds was encountered, not enough grouse reached maturity
to make stocking practical. The surviving stock will be kept for breeding purposes.

In order to determine the effect of a few of the climatic factors on the
activity of the animals in the forest, the laboratory study of the relation between the
activity of the deer mouse and such factors as temperature and humidity was con-
tinued in co-operation with the Department of Zoology, University of Toronto. This
study promises to explain some of the behaviour patterns observed in animals in their
natural habitat.

In order to provide a picture of deer management problems in Ontario, a pre-
liminary survey of the status of the deer throughout the l^rovince was initiated. During
the year, the forest districts of Rideau, Quinte, Trent, Algonquin and Parry Sound,
and Manitoulin Island, were surveyed. This survey has emphasized the importance
of this game animal in southern Ontario and has revealed some problems requiring
solution in the future.

During the hunting season, data on success, sex ratio and other statistics were
collected from hunters. Through the excellent co-operation of sportsmen, a series of
deer heads were secured for studies of the age classes in our deer.

The problem of improving the habitat for wildlife on farm areas in southern
Ontario has been under investigation for three years. Experimental plantings of
multi-flora rose and other imported shrubs have been established in order to determine
their hardiness in this latitude.

Through the year, the Wildlife Section co-operated with several outside agencies
such as the Ontario Research Foundation and the University of Toronto in providing
working space at the Wildlife Research Station in Algonquin Park and in providing
facilities for a field course for biological students.

Silviculture

The silvicultural programs are under the general direction of A. P. Leslie. In
the following the projects are reported under the headings of Seeding Habit of Red
Pine; Forest Tree Breeding; Seed Treatment; and Silvicultural Field Tests.

Seeding Habit of Red Pine. This project continues under the direction of
Dr. George Duff, who began this work in 1946.

The importance of the project arises from the well-known fact that red pine
produces appreciable quantities of seed only in occasional years. The result is that
the expansion of planting programs of this preferred species is seriously restricted.

The procedure was at first to survey the seeding habits as found in nature.
More recently the survey work has been increasingly supplemented by experiments
designed to modify seed productivity. The ultimate objective in view is the production
of seed from elite trees growing in orchards.

The work is centered mainly in certain red pine plantations in Simcoe County
(Angus, Midhurst, Camp Borden. Craighurst) and at Chalk River.

The survey data to 1949 led to the conclusion that the degree of productivity
depends mainly upon internal physiological factors. In this respect the chronological

development of the cone prior to its emergence from the bud has been traced. Con-
cerning this basically important matter little or nothing has been known hitherto.
The work of 1949 brought this part of the project to a conclusion.

In connection with the destruction of formed cones and seeds by insects, the
data of 1949 confirms Dr. Duff's previously reported view that the insect attacks are
correlated with the cycle of seed production. It is obvious that if seed orchards are
to be established reliable methods of insect control will have to be worked out.

In defining the optimum conditions for seed production in culture, progress
has been made in ( 1 ) the discovery and bringing into culture of what appear to be
highly productive seed strains or races of red pine, and (2) the experimental treatment
of existing plantation stands, such as thinning, pruning, fertilizing, hormone treatment,
and protection from insects.

Forest Tree Breeding. The work, initiated in 1946 under the direction of Dr.
C. Heimburger, is concerned principally with the selection, breeding and propagation
of white pine and poplar. Incidental to the above is the establishment of an arboretum,
essentially for the preservation of authentic material for breeding and genetical
research.

(1) White Pine: This species, for many years the mainstay of the lumber
industry in Ontario, is recognized as one of the most valuable in the province for
forestry purposes. Nevertheless, its culture is handicapped by blister rust and weevil.
The white pine project is concerned primarily with the discovery and development
of superior stock, highly resistant to attack by these enemies. The main effort is still
centred on the assembling of breeding materials, testing and evaluation of the same,
and improvement of methods of vegetative propagation. In the course of the year
breeding material was received in exchange from Denmark, California, Wisconsin,
eastern States and British Columbia. This has been used with native and other
stocks in grafting and pollination. Outside grafting was further improved and its
use extended. Experimental outside fall grafting was started. Inoculation experi-
ments showed the western pine much easier to infect than the eastern species.

(2) Poplar: The increasing use of poplar for pulp and lumber warrants con-
tinued investigation of the breeding potentialities of these species. The aim of this
project is to produce a rapidly growing hybrid with wood of superior quality, adapted
to the relatively poor sites of Ontario, and resistant to disease. In addition, it is
proposed to evaluate poplar material for windbreak planting in the southern part
of the province. Experience in hybridization indicates that the most promising com-
binations are Populus alba x P. grandidentata ; P. alba x P. tremula; P. tremuloides x
P. tremula and reciprocals.

The selection of elite material for these crosses is important. Such material
was sought both here and abroad. Grafting experiments indicated that native aspens
are not compatible; but that the European P. tremula can be successfully grafted on
both our P. grandidentata and P. tremuloides. August budding showed considerable
promise as a means of propagation.

(3) Arboretum: The arboretum of native and foreign species, started in 1948,
continued to expand rapidly in 1949. It consists of breeding materials for present and
future use. It is planned to continue the acquisition of seeds, scions and plants, with
emphasis on the white pine and poplars, and other economically important trees.

Page 131 Division of Research

Seed Research. The work in seed research includes ( 1 ) seed coating, and
(2) basic seed research.

(1) Seed coating or pelleting: This has two functions (a) to build up the
size of small and irregular seeds to permit them to be handled easily, economically
and without injury in a seeding mechanism, such as the Brohm hand planter which
dispenses one seed at a time. ]Much research has been done to get non-injurious, cheap,
easily-applicable, and non-reactive materials for coating. The second, and at present
minor, function of coating is to have it act as a vehicle for fungicides, fertilizers,
hormones and rodent repellents, to reduce loss of seed. Greater importance is being
given to fungicides in present research, but work on the others is being continued also.

(2) Basic seed treatment: Research has been started as to the specific con-
ditions of moisture, temperature and light requirements for germination and growth
of important tree species. This work will be extended as staff and funds permit.

SiLVicuLTURAL FiELD Tests. Programs were carried on in the Mid-Western
Region and in the South-Central Region by research foresters stationed at Port Arthur
and Dorset respectively. The program has been under way in the Mid-Western Region
for the past three years, and in the South-Central Region for two years. A program
is about to start in the Northern Region, with a research forester to be stationed at
Cochrane. It is hoped that at least one research forester will be established eventually
in each of the main forest regions.

These men appraise the research requirements of their regions, take the results
of regeneration or other surveys which lead to well-grounded theories, and test these
in experiments arranged co-operately with local timber operators, or others. If they
require the assistance of research specialists, these are supplied from the Central
Research Station at Maple.

Mensuration

Volume Tables: The purpose of this project, commenced in 1948 under M.
Ardenne, is to construct hardwood tables for such species as maple, beech, elm and
oak, growing in southwestern Ontario. The tables will be useful mainly to woodlot
owners in this area, but it is possible that they may be applicable to the whole of the
Ottawa-Huron area.

Field work during 1949 was a continuation of that of 1948. Adequate data
were obtained for the construction of tables for sugar maple from 1,130 trees, and for
beech from 530 trees measured. Data collected on elm and other species were insuffi-
cient for table preparation, due to the scarcity of these species in the area. It is
expected, however, that adequate data may be obtainable subsequently on white elm
and soft maple.

Other features of tree growth and tree volume were investigated in the course of the
volume table work.

Soils

The soils research program, under G. A. Hills, has two general objectives:

1. To classify and map the whole forest land area of Ontario on the basis of its
natural characteristics, in respect to topography, geology, climate and soil.

2. To evaluate the various types of land according to their capacity to produce forest
or agricultural crops.

The program commenced in 1944. was continued during the past year both in the field,
and at the Southern Research Station, Maple.

Field Work. In the summer of 1949 field parties, working in the northwestern
portion of the province, filled in the gaps of information required to complete an
agricultural use capability map of Northern Ontario.

This map is intended to indicate the order and degree in which forestry should
be replaced by agriculture. That is, which lands should be opened up first to settle-
ment, and the extent to which they should be developed for agriculture, or a combina-
tion of forestry and agriculture.

Field parties also made detailed site classifications in selected sections of the
North Bay-Mattawa, Algonquin Park and Nipigon areas. The work included mapping
of representative types, recording of forest and soil relationships, and collection of soil
samples for laboratory analysis. The data referred to exposure, depth over bedrock,
relief, drainage, texture, geologic origin, soil profile, past and present forest.

The information obtained lays the foundation for the silvicultural research,
such as regeneration and growth studies, which should precede forest management
planning.

In the North Bay-Mattawa and Algonquin Park areas, studies were made of
yellow birch and sugar maple on shallow soils over rolling bedrock, and on moist
gravelling soils. White pine, red pine and jack pine were studied on deep gravelly and
sandy soils, and on shallow, rocky soils.

In the Nipigon area, studies were made of white spruce, black spruce, aspen
poplar and jack pine on deep soils of shaly gravel, and on shallow soils over slate
bedrock. It was noted that heavy yields of timber occurred on shale and slate soils,
in contrast to the lower yields usually found on granitic soils.

Soils Work at the Southern Research Station. Maps and charts were
prepared from field notes, work sheets and marked aerial photographs, for graphic
presentation.

In the laboratory, physical and chemical analyses were made of the 400 repre-
sentative soil samples collected in the field. In addition, tests were made periodically
of soils used in greenhouse experiments.

During the past year a series of experiments was conducted in the greenhouse
to determine the nutrient requirements of red pine, in the range of its natural site
conditions in Ontario.

Mechanics

(1) Pack Tractors: In the fall of 1948 it was decided to produce a pilot model
of a mechanically propelled machine of suitable design to facilitate the transportation
of fire suppression and other equipment through the bush. From the beginning it was
realized that this tractor would have to be capable of operating under very adverse
conditions, such as thick bush, rocky country and swamp areas. As no like equipment
had ever been produced, it was necessary to prepare original plans. Design was com-
pleted in the winter of 1948-49.

Actual construction commenced in March, 1949, and the first prototype was
ready for testing in May. Tests during the summer and fall showed that performance
was very satisfactory. It was found that this 500 lb. machine could take a 700 lb.
payload up a 50 per cent grade with ease, and was readily manoeuverable in rough
terrain.

As a result of these tests it was possible to set up improved specifications, and
in the following winter and spring two machines were constructed, to be ready for
testing under actual field conditions in the summer of 1950.

Page 135 Division of Research

(2) Seedling Lifter: A device for attachment to large tractors for lifting seed-
lings in forest nurseries has been developed. This consists of a blade that is pulled
about five inches under the surface of the seedling beds. The purpose is to loosen the
ground so that the seedlings can be lifted easily by hand for transplanting; it should
also result in a considerable saving in labour.

(3) Scarifier for Logged Areas: x\lthough the mechanical section did not build
the scarifying machine, it did assist in some of the testing and carried out the modifica-
tions indicated by these tests. The purpose of this machine is to stir up the ground
in mechanically logged jack pine areas, in order to increase natural regeneration.

(4) Seeding Staffs: These devices were designed to release a single seed at a
time, and bury it in the soil. A model is being built which is expected to prove
satisfactory.

(5) Hose Tests: Machinery was set up to test the qualities of linen and cotton
fire hose, and to enable purchase by specification. Tests of the effect of fungicides
to prevent hose decay are still continuing.

Pathology

The Department, continuing to co-operate with the Dominion Department of
Agriculture, employs two foresters on the research staff who are on Loan to the
Dominion Laboratory of Forest Pathology. Toronto, for the conduct of co-operative
studies. The two main current projects are the survey of the condition of yellow birch,
and the survey of the condition of white pine in the Sudbury sulphur-fume area.

Yellow Birch Dieback. This study was initiated due to anxiety on the part
of timber operators and government officials as to the possible spread of "birch
dieback'' from the Maritimes to Ontario. Fourteen one-acre permanent sample plots
were established in 1949, from the Ottawa \'alley to North Bay. An intensive record
of conditions was made of all species of trees on the plots and all site factors were
examined. It is hoped that this assessment will determine whether there is an abnormal
condition of yellow birch, and if so, to make recommendations for control.

White Pine Needle Blight. This study resulted from a confusing similarity
in symptoms of this disease with symptoms in a certain stage of sulphur fume injury
in the Sudbury area. A detailed field survey was started in 1949 and ten one-acre
permanent sample plots were established within a 25-mile radius of the fume sources
at Sudbury. Ten check plots were established in the Mattawa area on corresponding
white pine sites in which some trees exhibited signs of similar injury, but which could
not be due to sulphur fumes.

For simplification, comparison is being made in these two areas of basic
relationships only, such as incidence of disease, mortality and loss of wood increment.

Statistical comparison of these factors should permit evaluation of the relative
degree of injury from both causes.

Entomology

The Division continued its co-operative arrangement with the Division of
Forest Entomology, Federal Department of Agriculture. Work was centred at the
Sault Ste. Marie Forest Insect Laboratory building, which is the property of the
Ontario Department and staffed by the Federal Department, under the direction of
Dr. M. L. Prebble. Dr. Prebble issues a separate report.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 136

The Division again retained the services of Dr. C. E. Atwood of the Department
of Zoology, University of Toronto, in an advisory capacity in matters relating to
forest entomology. In the summer of 1949 Dr. Atwood made a number of trips to
areas infested by various insects and obtained a general picture of the forest insect
situation in Ontario, which he presented in a report. His report includes the following:

1. Special survey of larch sawfly outbreak in northwestern Ontario.

2. Spruce budworm in various parts of the province.

3. Jack pine budworm east of Kenora.

4. Tent caterpillars in various parts of province.

5. Coniferous feeding sawflies near Sault Ste. Marie and south of Orillia.

6. European pine shoot moth in southern Ontario.

7. Striped maple worm in Algoma district.

8. Yellow-headed spruce sawfly in various parts of province.

9. Birch sawfly, Algoma district and eastward.

10. Birch leaf-miner in Algoma district.

11. Birch skeletonizer, North Bay to Sudbury

12. Elm insects: The elm leaf-miner and the elm case-bearer in southern Ontario.

Statistics

The statistical work of the Division is supervised by Dr. D. B. DeLury, who
is retained by the Department as a part-time consultant. Mr. L. M. Morrison is
employed full time in this work. Assistance has been rendered both in the design of
experiments and analysis of resulting data.

The following projects have been undertaken since the statistical section was
organized in 1948:

1. Census of deer population.

2. Forest nursery inventory improvement.

3. Correlation of height, diameter and age of black spruce.

4. Spread of game from protected areas into surrounding territor3^

5. Juvenile cock pheasant population of Pelee Island.

6. Design of silvicultural experiment in Port Arthur area.

7. Study of hardwood volume table compilation.

8. Fisheries statistics.

The results of the recently completed pheasant studies referred to above should
receive wide attention, as the population assessment and prediction figures are valu-
able and of great public interest. The forest sampling studies have yielded important
results.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 138

DIVISION OF SURVEYS AND ENGINEERING

ANNUAL REPORT

To facilitate and expedite the issuance of water power leases for the develop-
ment of electric energy, legislation was passed amending the Water Powers Regulation
Act.

Under the provisions of this Act as amended. His Majesty the King, in the
right of Ontario as represented by the Minister of Lands and Forests, may enter into
an agreement with the lessee for the development of the water power, generally for a
term of twenty years with the right of renewal for two further and successive terms
of ten years each.

It is of interest to note that leases granted by the Department for the develop-
ment of electric-energy from our natural water power resources cover an installed
capacity of approximately 1,000,000 horsepower which compares with an installed
capacity of about 7,000 horsepower at the beginning of this century.

The control of water for the use of the power companies, timber operators and
summer resort residents at various seasons of the year, presents a major problem. A
policy of segregating the use of certain waterways for the specific use of power
development and that of summer resort development is under review. A survey of
existing dams in the Province is under way and ultimately, a complete history of
each dam will be secured, which will enable a policy to be formulated in regard to
its maintenance and future use to the best interests of everyone.

The demand for summer resort lots on Crown Lands has continued during the
past fiscal year, resulting in the continuance of an extensive survey program. The
surveys of 1,435 parcels were completed, creating a new all time high and being an
increase of 20 per cent over the previous year.

The boundary between the Territorial Districts of Thunder Bay and Algoma
between the Canadian Pacific Railway and Lake Superior was resurveyed and certain
stations of the Geodetic Survey of Canada were tied in to the survey fabric of Ontario
to provide control for mapping of aerial photography. Potential water power reserves
on the Montreal River near Lake Superior were surveyed.

Retracement surveys were carried out in the newly discovered uranium field in
the vicinity of Alona Bay of Lake Superior, north of Sault Ste. Marie to provide base
control for geological surveys made by the Department of Mines and also, to provide
control for legal survey's for the numerous mining claims which have been staked in
this area.

The plans of setting up a photographic library to record prints of all air photo-
graphs taken in connection with the Forest Resources Inventory have been finalized.
These photographs will be made available to lumber and mining companies and to
the general public, from 360,000 negatives.

The aerial surveys section of this Division has completed the preparation of the
base maps of the territory, comprising 25,440 square miles south of the French and
Mattawa Rivers included in the program of the Forest Resources Inventory
Program.

In the undeveloped sections of the Province, there are in existence a consider-
able number of subdivided townships, where due to the passage of time, lumbering
and fires, it is found the majority of survey posts and survey lines are obliterated.

Page 139 Division of Surveys and Engineering

Where such townships are not suitable agricultural possibilities, a policy of annulling
the township subdivision has been formulated. To date, sixteen township subdivisions
have been annulled. It is considered in the public interest that the policy of
annulling townships where such conditions exist should be followed and this method of
dealing with the situation be adhered to on broader scope when conditions permit.

Priv.ate Surveys on Crown Lands

Under authority of Section 37 of the Public Land Regulations, 1,435 summer
resort locations were surveyed and the returns of survey filed in the Department for
examination and approval. Six hundred and twenty-six surveys of this number were
surveyed under direct departmental instructions to the surveyor, where the applicant
paid in the survey fee, as specified in Section 37 of the Public Land Regulations and
amendments thereto. This is an increase of 236 surveys over the fiscal year ]\Iarch
31, 1949. and represents an all time high for the number of summer resort locations
surveyed during any previous fiscal year.

Under the provisions of the Mining Act, 417 mining claims were surveyed
and the returns of survey were filed for examination and approval. This is a reduction
of 18.1 per cent in the number of surveys made for the fiscal year ending March 31,
1949.

TowNsiTE Subdivisions

Parts of patented mining claims TB 12025 and TB 10878 in the Town of
Geraldton, District of Thunder Bay, were subdivided into town lots. The plans of
survey were approved and the selection of 25 per cent of the lots laid out as Crown
Lots was made under authority of the Townsites Act. The survey of additional town
lots in the Townsite of Gogania was completed and the plans of subdivision registered
in the Land Titles Oftice for the District of Sudbury.

Map Publications and Geographic X'^omenclature

The drawings for two maps of Islands in the Xorth Channel of Lake Huron
were completed and made ready for lithography. The revision of Map 24B. 'TMstricts

In accordance with arrangements made by this Department with the Army
Survey Establishment Bureau in Ottawa, certain lithograph map sheets are being
produced on a scale of 2 miles to 1 inch, from the basic detail shown on the plani-
metric maps produced in connection with Forest Resources Inventory Program.
During the past year, the following map sheets were published under the National
Topographic series:

NAME LONGITUDE LATITUDE

Pamour 81° to 82° 48°30' to 49°

Iroquois Falls 80° to 81° 48°30' to 49°

KirklandLake 80° to 81° 48° to 48°30'

Place names, including those for lakes, rivers and streams have been compiled
and listed for use in the preparation of sixteen additional map sheets by the Army
Survey Establishment Bureau.

Place names, including those for lakes, rivers and streams, have been verified
for 438 sectional maps prepared for the Ontario Forest Resources Inventory Series
and which cover an area of approximately 43,800 square miles. Compiled informa-
tion of place names was supplied to the Ontario Department of Mines, the Federal
Departments of National Defence and Mines and Resources, required in the prepara-
tion of new maps being published by these bureaus

Map Distribution

Lithographed maps of the National Topographic Series relative to Ontario as
published by the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys in Ottawa, the Army

Provincial Maps

The total distribution of provincial maps remained about the same as the
previous year, although the demand for various types of maps changed. The greatest
increase was noted in the island maps due to the newer ones issued which were
compiled from up-to-date aerial photography.

Inventor}- program were photostated early in the year. This completed the main
requirements for copies of original survey records for this program, with the excep-
tion of miscellaneous surveys needed periodically.

The demand for the use of survey records continued this year due to the
accelerated program of ground surveys in summer resorts. Hydro and Highways
work.

Printing and Tkansparent Linen Reproductions

The use of paper, opaque linen and trans|)arent linen reproductions of survey
plans and other material continues to increase in quantity. 93.200 s(juare feet of
sensitized paper and linen was consumed.

The use of transparent linen reproductions to eliminate hand drawn copies of
survey plans required for filing in the Land Titles and Registry Offices was increased
this year and 875 square feet was used for this purpose.

Book Binding

The work of repairing and rel)inding the original survey field notes and other
volumes was continued during the year. The repairing and recovering of the original
crown survey field note hooks is nearing conclusion. In addition, some 50 new books
were made up and other miscellaneous work performed for this and other Divisions.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 148

Microfilming

A small amount of microfilming of original survey records was done during
the year. Some 65 positive reels were made and 1,300 negative exposures of new
survey records made.

Survey Records

One hundred and sixteen volumes of survey references, as well as all deceased
surveyors' field notes being held by the Crown, were transferred to fireproof storage
at Maple.

Field Survey Party Equipment and Supply

The equipping and supplying of a sixteen man survey party operating in the
field on the survey of part of the boundary between the Districts of Algoma and
Thunder Bay, as well as several smaller summer resort parties and for survey inspec-
tion work, was taken care of during the year

The Divisional truck which was outfitted as a mol)ile survey unit covered a
distance of approximately 9,500 miles.

The existing storage space for survey equipment and supplies for field work
was found to be inadequate, and plans for a larger storage area in a building at the
Southern Experimental Station at Maple were prepared and the construction of same
commenced. This space will also provide for the storage of certain survey records,
duplicate plans, field notes, etc.

AERIAL SURVEYS

During the past fiscal year, the Aerial Surveys Section covered 13,353 square
miles with vertical photography.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 150

MANAGEMENT PLANS AND CONTROL

Acting under the provisions of the Forest Management Act, 1947. the ^Minister
during the current fiscal year has requested all licensees holding cutting rights on
more than fifty square miles to furnish forest inventories and master plans, and thus
as at March 31st, 1950. sixty-nine companies holding an aggregate of 73,699^/4 square
miles in timber licenses and concession areas are working to some degree under the
provisions of the Forest Management Act

Twenty companies have now furnished plans covering an area of 14.7 70 square
miles. Analysis of these plans is under way.

The field staff in timber management has been augmented by the placing of
foresters and assistants in four districts whose immediate duties have been aimed
towards the organization of management units and the maintenance of the forest
inventory where it has already been completed.

Control of forest operations has been extended by additional field inspections
and the extension of requirements under the Forest Management Act. New timber
sales are under closer inspection and as management units become operative, sales
are restricted to cutting under the management plan.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 14

DIVISION OF AIR SERVICE

General

The fiscal period 1950-51 presented one of the lowest fire hazards in many
years. Rainfall occurred at most opportune times and in sufficient quantities to hold
the hazard to a point that might be considered as below normal. In addition to this we
were operating more aircraft of the Beaver type, and the fact that these aircraft can
operate from smaller bodies of water than any type which we have ever used in the
past, made it possible to reach and extinguish incipient fires that might easily have
reached the out-of-control stage under other circumstances. Again I feel that I must
give credit to this particular aeroplane as an instrument through which we were able
to hold our fire losses below the average occurring in preceding years.

The Service also undertook additional activities in the field of research and
experimentation. We co-operated during the period, as well as in the preceding year,
with the National Research Council in attempting to develop a type of ski that, it
was hoped, would meet average Canadian conditions. Considerable flying was done
out of Sudbury, Gogama, and Chapleau to test the relative qualities of these skis in
comparison with the various types which we had been using, and a great deal of
valuable information was gathered. In addition, we carried out further experiments
with a radar landing device, designed primarily to assist in glassy water landings, and
we now have quite a wealth of data on this subject. Considerable interest has been
shown in this particular device by the Royal Canadian Air Force and Trans-Canada
Air Lines. These experiments will be continued until we feel that the device has been
perfected. We also undertook experiments to determine the possibility of water
bombing from the air. The initial experiments were carried out with paper bags that
resemble, in many respects, that used for bagging cement, and although this particular
device has some disadvantages, I feel that it was proven, quite conclusively, that this
method of attacking small fires does hold possibilities. In the period covered, we
actually did hold fires from spreading until the ground crews were able to reach them.

The requirements of all Divisions of this Department were met and we also did
considerable flying for the Department of Mines, Department of Provincial Police,
Departments of Health, Highways, and so forth as well as according a measure of
co-operation to the Federal Department of Indian Affairs, with whom we work very
closely in the control and establishment of registered trap lines.

Emergency flights were carried out as required and it is gratifying to know
that a very humanitarian service was rendered on many occasions.

Normal amiable relations were maintained with the Department of Transport
and with the Air Transport Board.

During the period covered the Department subscribed to membership in the
Air Industries and Transport Association of Canada. This Association was formed
for the purpose of co-ordinating the activities of all those dealing in aircraft, and
includes the engine manufacturer, the airframe manufacturer, manufacturers of all
accessories and the operators themselves. The Body also deals with the Department
of Transport and the Air Transport Board in recommending suitable legislation to
control the activities of the Industry,

Page 15 Division of Air Service

New Construction and Expansion

During the period no new construction was undertaken, although we are in
need of several new additions and hope that they may be completed at an early date.
These involve two cottages at Kenora, two cottages and a workshop at Lauzon Lake,
two cottages at Sioux Lookout, and two cottages and a workshop north of White River
at Tutney Lake. It has been difficult for the Department of Public Works to get
satisfactory prices on these projects and we think this is the main reason for their
construction having been deferred. There are still a few odds and ends to be completed
in the new Hangar building itself, but a contract has been let which I believe will
accomplish this end. Xo new bases were opened during the period covered in this
report.

Equipment

During the period six new Beaver aircraft were purchased from the De Havil-
land Company of Canada. Some of these were put into service immediately, while
others acted as spares and were utilized as it became necessary to do so. It was also
decided to reduce our Norseman fleet, and to this end three Mark VI's and three
Mark V's were sold. To replace these an order for six new Beavers was placed with the
De Havilland Company for delivery in the spring of 1951.

Winter Operations

Winter operations as conducted during the previous winter were continued
in the winter of 1950-51. Beaver aircraft were operated from Toronto, Algonquin
Park, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, Gogama, Chapleau. Geraldton, Port Arthur, Eva
Lake; and two Norseman were again operated from Sioux Lookout. A special deer
census was undertaken in the vicinity of Kenora and Fort Frances to provide informa-
tion on which legislation for this area can be formulated. Other winter flying included
supervision and enforcement of Fish and Wildlife activities, supervision of timber and
logging operations, transportation of scalers, selection of tower sites, transportation of
Departmental officials, and such emergency flights as were required.

Maintenance of Service Buildings

Normal maintenance of all Service property was carried out as usual. Painting
and normal repairs were undertaken where necessary- in order to keep our property
up to proper standards.

Accidents

I regret to report the worst accident in the history of the Service. On August
30, 1950, we lost Norseman CF-OBH about twelve miles south of Temagami. and in
the accident five people were burned to death. We also lost one Beaver aircraft about
six miles from Temagami. but fortunately no one was hurt. We believe this latter
accident to have been caused by a fuel pump failure.

DIVISION OF FISH AND WILDLIFE

WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

General

A close season was established on moose throughout the Province, leaving
deer and bear the only widely distributed big-game animals open. In view of the
finding of a thorough investigation by Dr. A. A. Kingscote, of the Ontario Veterinary
College, that an increase in elk would prejudice the health of wild and domestic
animals, permits to shoot elk were issued free to holders of deer licences. Very few
were killed.

Upland game birds are generally numerous, but the first signs of cyclical dying-
off of ruffed grouse appeared in a few scattered areas. The European hare, which
has been scarce, is now increasing.

Fur-bearing animals increased, with the exception of lynx. The beaver popula-
tion is very high, and territories depopulated by disease are recovering. Nevertheless,
beaver disease still exists in scattered areas. We are indebted to Dr. N. A. Labzoffsky
of the Ontario Department of Health, working with Dr. J. F. A. Sprent, of the
Ontario Research Foundation, for the identification of the disease as a form of
Tularemia. The same disease was also identified in muskrats in southern Ontario.
The prevention of die-outs depends on adequate harvesting and prevention of over-
population.

Trap-Line Management

Trap-line licences were issued to the number of 4.883, of which 3.330 were to
Treaty Indians.

Trap-line management in northern Ontario was greatly advanced by an agree-
ment with the Dominion Department of Citizenship and Immigration covering the
expenditure of SI 50,000.00 per year for ten years on Wildlife Management as related
to Indians. Half of this sum is provided by the Dominion being new funds over and
above those customarily spent by the Department in Indian areas. This has made
possible the establishment of a special group of sub-technical personnel known as
Wildlife Management Officers. As of the end of the fiscal \ear there were twelve of
these men in the field, of whom six were operating north of the northernmost railway
line.

Co-operation with Wildlife Management Institute

The co-operative program of pheasant studies on Pelee Island was concluded.

Restocking

A total of 70,455 pheasants were distributed during the season. Of these
43.250 were poults and adult birds released soon after distribution by gentle release,
and 27.205 were chicks which were reared and released by recipients, with a gratify-
ingly high degree of success.

A few Hungarian partridge were moved from Rideau District to Quinte District,
and a few Pinnated grouse were released in Quinte District. These latter restocking
movements are as yet insignificant, but as techniques improve they can be expanded.

Fur Farming

The market for ranch-raised mink j^elts continued its rising trend from the
fall of 1949. through 1950. The strong demand at good prices was due to the fact
that there was no backlog or carry-over of pelts from the previous year, coupled with
the fear of a shortage due to the stoppage of Russian furs from entering the North
American market. These conditions were welcomed by ranchers who had experienced
poor markets for the past three years.

Standard mink brought remarkably good prices as did Pastel. Aleutian and all
phases of Silvcrblu in the mutation class. The anticipated increase in production of
Pastels materialized and is now competing with wild mink for the supreme position
in the mink market.

There were indications throughout the year that the silver fox market was
coming back as renewed interest was shown again in long-haired furs. Standard silver
and the mutation foxes were in good demand and prices increased to the point where
ranchers can maintain the nucleus of their breeding stock without loss. With the
drastic cut in production and the spirited promotional program that is in existence,
it is anticipated that the fox market will show steady improvement.

De.spite the good mink market, the high rate of employment at intlationary
wages in other industries, due principally to the international situation, enticed a
number of smaller ranchers to seek employment elsewhere and discontinue fur
farming. This resulted in a net decrea.se of 319 ranches, as compared to the

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951

Page 26

previous year. A total of 1,078 Fur Farmers Licences were issued during the calendar
year. 991 renewals of previous licences, 72 for newly established ranches and 15
licences were issued with retroactive provisions, to legalize the operation of ranches
during the previous year.

Wolf Bounty

Under authority of The Wolf and Bear Bounty Act, the Department pays a
$25.00 bounty on a timber or brush wolf three months of age or over, and a $15.00
bounty on a timber or brush wolf pup. under three month? of age.

On wolves killed in the provisional judicial districts, the Department pays the
whole bounty, whereas on those killed in the counties, the Department pays 40'/o
and the respective county pays the remaining 60 /c of the bounty.

The following table shows the number and species of wolves killed and the
amount of bount\- paid during the past five years, including the year covered by this

Page 28

During the period covered by this report, 1,438 claims for bounty were con-
sidered. Seven claims representing 8 wolves were refused, due to the illegal use of
snares or the whole pelt not being produced. Ten other claims were refused because
the pelts submitted were found to be fox or dog pelts.

The hunting of wolves from aircraft was authorized during the previous winter
season. This type of hunting is proving to be not only interesting and profitable to
resident and non-resident sportsmen, but an effective means of taking wolves.

Hereunder is a computation of the bounty paid in counties and districts.

Bear Bounty 1950-51

Under authority of The Wolf and Bear Bounty Act, the Department pays a
$10.00 bounty on any bear 12 months of age or over and a $5.00 bounty on any
bear cub under 12 months of age. which has been killed between April 15th and
November 30th. in a township of which 2 5 5^ of the total area is devoted to agricul-
ture and which is located in one of the counties or districts described in the Regula-
tions. The Act further specifies that the bear must be killed in defence or preservation
of livestock or property, by a bona fide resident of the township.

The following table shows the number of bears killed and the amount of bounty
paid during the past live years, including the year covered by this report:

It is interesting to note the great lluctuation in the number of bears and cubs
killed in the last three years.

The Department considered 375 claims for bounty on 453 bears and 47 cubs.
However. 10 claims involving 12 bears were refused for failure to comply with the
provisions of the Act.

The following table indicates the number of bears and cubs killed in each of
the counties and di.sHricls. on which applications for Ijounty were submitted. However,
these figures do not include the bears hunted and killed by sportsmen, on which bounty
is ntjt applicable.

GAME FISH SECTION

Hatcheries and Rearing Stations

Excellent results have been obtained in the culture and distribution of the
various species of commercial and game lish from 26 provincial hatcheries, which were
in operation this year. Dorion Trout Rearing Station which was closed for some time
for renovation purposes is now in full scale operation. Following the procedure to
renovate at least one hatchery annually, the Hill Lake Trout Rearing Station near
Englehart is closed at present for extensive alterations. When completed, this station
will be on a par with the Dorion Trout Rearing Station which is considered one of
the most efficient of its kind on the continent.

After a lapse of two years, during which time it was under repairs, the Pem-
broke Trout Rearing Station was again in full operation, supplying fish to the
Renfrew-Nipissing areas.

Of particular interest is the rearing of maskinonge at the Deer Lake Hatchery.
It is necessary to feed live food to the young fry and fingerlings; this presents quite
a problem at times. The Department now obtains sucker eggs from spawn-taking
operations conducted at several locations. These sucker eggs are hatched, and fed as
fry, to the voracious maskinonge fingerlings, as required. Each year upwards of
10,000,000 sucker eggs are needed to satisfy the demands.

A new station, Westport Bass Ponds, has now been completed and will be in
full production by next year. An extensive experimental fish feeding program
will be conducted here to raise bass to larger size before release.

Biological Projects

The biological studies and projects undertaken during the year, consisted of
the following: — bass harvesting, sea lamprey control, coarse fish removal, creel census
studies, fish tagging, and biological surveys of lakes and streams.

Sea Lamprey Control

Operations for the control of sea lamprey were continued. A number of weirs
and traps were set in selected streams flowing into the North Channel, Lake Huron
and Lake Superior. ^lany other locations are being studied to determine their suita-
bility for lamprey control operations.

Removal of Coarse Fish

Nets were operated for the removal of undesirable fish, such as carp and Ijng,
from the following lakes: Black, Bobs, Crow, Hamilton Bay, Lower Rideau, Manitou,
Nonquon River, Otter, Pike, Scugog, Sturgeon, and Wolfe.

Creel Census Studies

Some creel census studies were conducted on a number of waters to determine
the proportion of hatchery-reared trout in the angler's catch. This project included
waters in the districts of Thunder Bay and Algoma, and in the counties of Bruce,
Grey, Peterborough and Haliburton.

Fish Tagging

The program, initiated two years ago, of tagging smallmouth bass in
Georgian Bay, was continued and 250 additional smallmouth bass were tagged.

Biological Surveys

Some long-term projects are being conducted on several waters to determine
the relationship of commercial fishing to angling. These include Long Point Bay and

Page 33

Division of Fish and Wildlife

Rondeau Bay on Lake Erie: Mitchell Bay on Lake St. Clair; Bay of Quinte on Lake
Ontario; and Lake Simcoe.

One hundred and five parent pickerel were planted in Three ^Slile Lake on
Parry Island Indian Reservation for study.

Investigations of a biological nature were made on a number of lakes and
streams, with a view to the establishment of a sound fish-management plan. These
were either initial surveys or extensions of previous ones. The waters studied were

COMMERCIAL FISHING SECTION

Commercial fishing licences issued in 1950 for Ontario waters totalled 2,722.
They may be sub-divided into two classes — those issued for taking commercial fish
primarily sold for food, and commercial minnow licences for taking bait fishes.
The number of minnow licences totalled 866, an increase of 156 over the previous
year. Of the 1,856 commercial fishing licences issued for use in taking marketable
fish, gill nets comprised over one-half, with 1.021; hoop nets totalled 267; pound and
trap nets 185; seines 169; baited hook licences 142; and other types which include
dip nets, power dip nets and trolling licences totalled 72.

The gill net continued to be the most important type of fishing equipment in
the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes with the exception of Lake St. Clair where
its use is prohibited. In northern inland lakes gill nets are employed in taking both
scaled fish and sturgeon. L"se of gill nets through the ice in winter fishing is an
important aspect of the industry in many of the northern lakes. In southern inland
waters the use of gill nets is restricted entirely to the removal of carp.

Pound nets are still the second most favoured gear in Lake Erie, Lake Huron,
Lake Superior and some northern Ontario waters, but the use of trap nets, which in
some areas of Lake Erie and Lake Huron are more favoured by the fisherman, is
rapidly growing in importance and may largely replace pound nets in the future.

Hoop nets are used extensively in the more shallow waters of Lake Ontario's
Bay of Quinte area and in southern inland waters as well as in Lake of the Woods,
where they take important catches of both coarse and commercial species.

Seine nets are used throughout Ontario, in shallow waters where soft bottoms
are found, for taking coarse fish, especially carp, suckers and catfish.

Baited hooks are important in northern rivers and lakes, Lake St. Clair, the
Niagara River and the St. Lawrence River for taking sturgeon; in Georgian Bay
for taking lake trout, and in many southern waters for catching catfish, eels or coarse
fish.

Dip nets are used largely for coarse fish throughout the Province and a few
trolling lines take trout and other species.

]\Iinnows are taken commercially by dip nets, seine nets, and by wire traps.
An increased number of minnow licences in 1950 reflects the increasing demand for
live bait and the response of this part of the Industry to the anglers' and tourists'
needs.

The sea lamprey, which is trapped by the Department to assist in protecting
the fish resources from this destructive parasitic animal, was experimentally com-
mercialized in 1950. There appears to be some possibility that the lamprey may
become a part of the commercial catch and find a restricted market.

The total harvest of the commercial fishing industry for the year ending
December 31, 1950, was 32,755,813 lbs. of fish with a landed value of just over
6^ million dollars ($6,252,046.51). Although there was a decrease from 1949 of
1,305,448 lbs. or 3.8%, in the total landed catch the total value increased by
$755,209.63 or 14.1%. Both increase in value of the fish and larger catches of some
more valuable species were factors resulting in the higher value. The industry was
at the same time faced by increased costs of gear and labour.

Page 37 Division of Fish and Wildlife

An important characteristic of the commercial fishery is the fluctuation in the
total catch of many species. The most significant example is the production of blue
pickerel in Lake Erie, which dropped from a four year high in 1949, by 1,165,549 lbs.
or 11.8% in 1950. This downward trend will probably continue for at least another
year in Lake Erie. A decrease of 564,940 lbs. of herring was due to a poor production
in Lake Superior during the fall fishing. The net decrease of nearly ^-million pounds
of whitefish can be attributed largely to a decrease in the Lake Erie production, of
1,229,967 lbs. or 33.9%. The production of whitefish in Lake Huron, Georgian Bay,
and the North Channel showed a significant increase over 1949, continuing a trend
noted in the previous year, and doing much to place this fishery in a more favourable
economic position.

Lake trout production showed a considerable increase of 151,707 lbs. due
largely to larger catches in northern inland lakes and in Lake Superior, and to minor
increases in the North Channel, and Lake Huron. The Lake Huron production rose
from 3,207 in 1949 to 10,601 lbs. in 1950, an insignificant amount as compared to
the 1936 production of over two million pounds but nevertheless representing a
favourable trend.

The production of Goldeyes showed a very significant increase of 34,268 lbs.
to a total of 84,068 lbs. This increase resulted from a greater fishing pressure in a
few of the lakes in the far north-western part of the Province and the total production
of this Canadian fish delicacy has risen from 28,232 lbs. in 1948 and 49,800 lbs. in
1949 to over 84,000 lbs. in 1950.

Yellow pickerel and saugers increased in production, largely in Lake Erie and
somewhat offset the reduction in blue pickerel yields.

The production of carp, and of coarse fish both increased and. although the
money returns per pound of fish are small, these fishes form an important part of the
fishery. Some species such as ling are frequently unable to be marketed but their
annual removal as a weed crop is considered desirable in the management of the
fishery.

The body of water showing the most important increase in production was
Georgian Bay, where the harvest of commercial fish nearly doubled, from 1,563.404
lbs. in 1949 to 2,794,118 lbs. in 1950, due largely to increased catches of whitefish
(over a million pounds) as well as herring and tullibee.

In Lake Ontario 213,400 lbs. more commercial species were harvested than
in 1949. As also in Georgian Bay, whitefish showed the most important change over
1949 with a production of 418,929 in 1950 as compared to 218,564 in the previous
year.

An increase of 118.237 lbs. in production in the waters of the North Channel
was also due largely to improved whitefish production.

The number of men employed in the indu.stry was slightly reduced, while the
amounts of gear remained relatively the same. The slight decrease noted in gill net
yardage was offset by the increased number of pound nets in use.

Total value of equipment was $690,726 higher in 1950 than in 1949. Higher
costs of replacing fishing gear and of new equipment has increased the value placed
upon nets and boats, as well as upon shore installations in the industry.

DEVELOPMENTS IX THE INDUSTRY

Trap Nets

In Lake Erie the long established pound net fishery is gradually being replaced
by trap nets. After a year of experimentation, in which one trap net was allowed to
be used in lieu of one pound net per fishery, it was concluded that the new type of
net was a more economic method of taking fish. Authority was provided to use
three trap nets per fishery and later in the year to replace each pound net by one
trap net.

Most of the pound net fisheries were occupied during 1950 in gradually con-
verting to the use of trap nets. Trap nets are favoured in many fisheries because they
do not require to be anchored by stakes which are expensive and difficult to procure
in the proper lengths. The new nets can be set earlier in the season while market
prices are apt to be better. Stormy weather which would prevent setting of pound

nets is less apt to interfere with trap net activities. Although the trap net is smaller
than the usual Lake Erie pound net, and therefore required less of the expensive
twine in its construction, it is believed that in many locations it is more efficient in
taking fish. The comparative mobility of the trap net is also an important factor in
its favour.

Coarse Fish Removal

Experiments involving coarse fish and whitefish removal by commercial
fishermen in waters which had been reserved for angling continued during the year.

Closer co-operation between Anglers' and Hunters' organizations and commer-
cial fishermen has been achieved to the betterment of both groups.

Applications of biological studies concerning fish populations, which are aimed
at harvesting all species of fish were a feature of the 1950 fishing efforts.

Georgian Bay

The investigation of small mesh 'chub' gill nets and of baited hook trout
fishing in Georgian Bay was continued during the summer of 1950. The effect of these
types of fishing upon populations of young lake trout was a matter of deep concern
both to the fishermen and to the Department.

It was shown that when small mesh net is not set at proper depths that it may
become a menace to small lake trout. Further study of the situation is required before
many of the problems in this regard can be solved.

Nylon

The use of nylon as a gill net textile continued to spread among the industry
in 1950. In Lake Erie practically all of the netting used is nylon, and cotton side lines
are slowly being replaced by the newer material which is not destroyed or weakened
by fungus attack.

Throughout all the industry in Ontario nylon nets are replacing the older
textiles as new nets are brought to replace worn out ones.

ENFORCEMENT

Some two hundred conservation officers patrol the province to enforce the
Game and Fisheries Act, the Special Fisheries Regulations and the Migratory Birds
Convention Act. They are under the direct control of the District Foresters in their
respective areas, and receive valuable assistance from the Ontario Provincial Police,
Royal Canadian Mounted Police and deputy game wardens appointed from interested
sportsmen.

The statistical details which follow show the results from their activities.

Seizures

During the annual period April 1, 1950, to March 31, 1951, there was a total
of 2,619 cases in which equipment was seized for infractions of legislation and
regulations.

cases. Charges were withdrawn in 86 cases for various reasons, such as where two or
more charges were originally laid against an individual or for lack of evidence when
investigation completed.

GENERAL

The Game and Fisheries Act provides that articles "used in violation of this
Act and found in the possession of any person suspected of having committed an offence
against this Act shall be seized, and upon conviction, be forfeited to and become the
property of the Crown in the right of Ontario and sold by the Department."

In cases of violations of a minor nature the persons from whom seizures were
made are given the opportunity, on application, to redeem the articles seized upon
payment of a fee fixed by the Department. This arrangement applies principally to
firearms and fishing tackle. The amount realized from such sales amounted to
$7,899.70.

In cases which are sufficiently serious to warrant confiscation to the Crown,
such articles are disposed of in annual public sales.

Three such sales were conducted by the Department during the period under
review, as follows:

April fishing tackle sale .<f;l,072.82

April fur sale, confiscated furs 4,554.73

September sale of firearms and miscellaneous equipment ___ 4,123.11

Total $9,750.66

Fines collected during the fiscal year amounted to $46,442.41.

Conservation officers assisted in distribution of fish and pheasants. They also
devoted considerable time, working with organized groups in the interest of
conservation.

DIVISION OF FOREST PROTECTION

FIRE AND HAZARD CONDITIONS

A study of fire statistics shows that the months of May, June and August were
the most hazardous periods. Early Spring fires during May represent almost half the
total number for the entire season and by far the greatest percentage of the acreage
burned over resulted from fires which occurred during that period.

Smokers, Campers, Settlers and Railways were the four main fire causes
although the largest burned-over area resulted from Industrial clearing fires getting
out of control especially on power line development. Only 9 of the 985 fires which
occurred reached an area larger than 500 acres. The greater number were extinguished
while comparatively small.

Apart from the 1939 fire season Ontario's fire losses were less in 1950 than at
any time since 1930.

The area under Protection in 1950 was 173,000 square miles.

FIRE CONTROL PLANNING
District fire protection plans were further developed and brought up to date.
A total of six hundred men working in forested areas were given brief courses of
instruction in fire prevention and suppression. Several new developments in forest
protection methods and techniques were applied, chiefly on an experimental basis.

1. The use of helicopters in fire fighting and experimentation on pumping water
direct from an air borne helicopter on a fire.

2. Trials were conducted with a fire-line-building plow designed for such use by the
Michigan State Forest Service.

Page 45

Division of Forest Protection

3. Experiments and actual application of aerial water bombing of fires from low-flying
Beaver aircraft were carried out.

4. Fire report form was revised to improve recorded data.

5. Spark arrestors were tried out on Railway- van stove pipes to help reduce number
of fires caused by Railway operation.

6. A pilot model 200 gallon tank-pumper mounted on 4 wheel drive vehicle suited
to fire fighting requirements was constructed and placed in service.

7. Polaroid type cameras were supplied aircraft for purpose of obtaining immediate
photographic record of forest fires for control purposes.

8. Preliminary plans were made with Dominion Meteorological Service for inter-
departmental exchange of weather data for forecast purposes.

9. Adaption and building of aluminum sheeted lookout tower cabins which will
provide additional years of service on lookout towers.

10. Erection of 35 eighty foot and 15 one hundred foot steel lookout towers.

11. A small pack tractor which can be quickly dissembled for air transport has been
developed by the Research Division of this Department. This new unit shows promise
of becoming a useful piece of mechanical equipment for transporting equipment and
provisions to and from fires and in other work where bush packing is necessary.

Fireiightjng equipment must be checked and kept in good repair at all times.

Repart of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 56

DIVISION OF LAND AND RECREATIONAL AREAS

General

During the fiscal year under review a large volume of work was concluded,
as is indicated in the tables forming part of this section. The tables do not accurately
reflect the amount of detail or ground work which is a necessary preliminary to
actual sale, location, cancellation, patent, etc. One form of land tenure which presents
a problem of considerable magnitude, because of the complex nature of the occupations,
is that which involves land use by persons having no legal rights. These people, in
some instances, represent a third or even a fourth generation of occupants, none of
whom, because they were unfamiliar with the requirements, have ever taken steps
to establish proper title. Every effort consistent with available properly trained staff
is being made to explain the situation to the individuals concerned by personal
contact and by correspondence, with a view to effecting alienation to private owner-
ship or properly recording the Crown as owner, whichever is indicated in the best
interests of the people and the Crown as a result of the investigations made.

Some changes in policy were made and amendments to The Public Lands Act
enacted to effect improved administration and land use. These changes were made
as a result of study of the effect of administrative practice obtaining previously,
and evidence indicates that very material benefit has for this reason accrued to the
public by their more proper occupation and use of Crown land, and also to the
Department.

Summer Resort Land

The number of sales made and patents issued increased, due primarily to
improved administrative procedure. The number of cancellations concluded decreased
largely for the same reason.

Agricultural and Allied Uses

The number of dispositions of land for these purposes, by sale and free grant,
was less than the previous year, due probably to lack of interest because of con-

^ndex of- Jubte.

tinuing favourable economic conditions, making it possible for persons to secure
employment in industry at incomes far in excess of that which would be possible,
generally speaking, from farming in Northern Ontario. Cancellations decreased in
number over the previous year as a result, particularly, of less opportunity to do
inspection work because of demand on field staff to do other phases of departmental
work, including fire-fighting. An increase in the number of land use permits issued
is noted and is indicative of disclosure of land use (by persons previously unauthorized)
as a direct result of improved follow-up and inspection methods.

X'eterans" Land

The Ontario Dominion-Provincial Agreement ( 1946) made under The \'eterans'
Land Act (Dominion), Section 35. 6, Geo. \T. 1942, continued to operate with the
full co-operation of this Department. A decrease in the number of transactions con-
cluded over the previous period is indicated by the graph appended hereto, for two
reasons primarily, namely — eligible veterans re-entering the Armed Services or securing,
for the time being, more lucrative employment in private industry and the trades.

Tourist Outfitters" Camps

The issuance of tourist outfitters' camp permits and licences, which comes
under the administration of this Division, was continued and the number issued
showed a substantial increase over the previous year.

Provincial Parks

There was no change in Provincial Parks. New regulations have, however, been
drafted, and when put into effect will improve administrative procedure.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENTAL SOLICITOR

(FORMERLY DIVISION OF LAW)
General

On January 1st, 1951, an administrative change was effected in the organiza-
tion of the Department with the dissolution of the Division of Law and the creation
of the office of Departmental Solicitor. This office is responsible for legal service to
Head Office administrative divisions and the regions, and the primary duties of the
office are concerned with legislation, regulations, orders-in-Council, Crown grants,
timber and other agreements — preparation, interpretation, application, examination
and checking thereof: arbitration of claims and disputes; consultation with and
advising Head Office administrative divisions and regional districts in legal matters
arising in the work of the Department; and attending upon the public, other govern-
ment departments and Crown organizations in matters of a legal nature concerning
the administration of the Department.

Legislation

The following Acts administered by the Department were passed by the
Legislature of Ontario at the Session which opened on February 1st, 1951:

The Beds of Navigable Waters Amendment Act, 1951

The Forest Fires Prevention Amendment Act, 1951

The Game and Fisheries Amendment Act, 1951

The Private Forest Reserves Act, 1951 •

The Public Lands Amendment Act, 1951

The Railway Fire Charge Amendment Act, 1951

The Wolf and Bear Bounty Amendment Act, 1951

Notes on Legislation

The Beds of Navigable Waters Act — This Act was passed originally in 1911.
The changes in the Act effected by The Beds of Navigable Waters Amendment Act,
1951, are designed to remove the uncertainties that have hitherto existed as to the
ownership of the beds of navigable waters. In 1940 certain amendments were made

Page &7 Division of Land and Recreational Areas

that were designed to strengthen the Act. As that intention has not been realized,
the 1940 amendments are repealed. Also the original basic section of the Act is
re-enacted to provide a detinite result wherever the section operates, whereas the
original section created a presumption. The section as re-enacted also governs a
new case, namely, where a navigable body of water or stream flows through a parcel
of land.

The Forest Fires Prevention Act — The amendments to this Act are for the
general purpose of improving administration. For instance, the effect of two of the
amendments is that in the application for a work permit and in the permit itself
the land on which the operation is to take place must be described with greater
certainty than has been the case in the past.

The Game and Fisheries Act — Several amendments were made to this Act.
Among these is the provision by which "deer"' is defined to include "wapiti." and
specific references to wapiti in the Act are deleted. As a result wapiti are to be
treated in all respects the same as deer. The prohibitions against the taking of any
female deer of any age or any male deer under the age of one year are repealed.
The prohibition against the use of snares during the open season for deer and
moose in any part of Ontario is relaxed by adding to the parts of Ontario excepted
therefrom the District of Cochrane and such other parts as may be prescribed by
regulations. The provision in the Act requiring an Information to be laid and the
case heard before the same magistrate is repealed to bring enforcement procedure
in line with modern court practices.

The Private Forest Reserves Act — \n amendment to this Act enables the
Minister to transfer the title in timber to the owner of the land which has been
declared a private forest reserve under the Act. and in respect of which the timber
had been reserved to the Crown in the grant of the land. Such timber still cannot
be cut without the consent of the Minister.

The Public Lands Act — The effect of amendments to this Act is to cancel
clauses in grants of Crown lands for agricultural purposes that reserve any class or
kind of tree, and to vest the property in such trees in the patentee; to cancel timber
licences in respect of Crown land disposed of to settlers for agricultural purposes,
and to render void building conditions appearing in certain letter? patent.

The Railway Fire Charge Act — This Act was amended for the purpose of
bringing into line with The Crown Timber Act the provisions with respect to charges
impo.sed for fire protection and the interest rate on arrears. The charge for fire
protection is now the same with respect to railway lands and Crown lands under
timber licence.

The U'olj and Bear Bounty Act — Amendments to this Act are designed to assist
in a proper administration of the Act and to enable a proi:)er degree of control to
be ap|)liecl where wolves and bears are released from captivity.

There are 27 Statutes of the Legislature of Ontario under which the Depart-
ment is administered. In addition, the administration of fish and wildlife resources
is governed in part by Government of Canada legislation and regulations, these being

Report of the Department of Lauds and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 68

This cabin is typical of many that are situated on Cronni land purchased from the Division of Land
and Recreational Areas.

the Migratory Birds Convention Act and the Special Fishery Regulations for the
Province of Ontario made under the Fisheries Act. A topical list of the 27 Statutes
above referred to is available upon request to the Division of Operation and Personnel.

Regulations

A revision and consolidation of regulations liled under The Regulations Act
to the end of 1950 has been published as "Consolidated Regulations of Ontario, 1950."
Regulations with which the administration of this Department is concerned have
been made under The Crown Timber Act, The Cullers Act, The Forest Fires Prevention
Act, The Game and Fisheries Act, The Provincial Land Tax Act, The Provincial
Parks Act, The Public Lands Act, The Railway Fire Charge Act and The Wolf and
Bear Bounty Act, and these will be found in the Consolidated Regulations of Ontario,
1950.

Lands and Forests' regulations filed with the Registrar of Regulations between
January 1st and March 31st, 1951, and still in force are as follows:

The Game and Fisheries Act Subject-matter

O.Reg. 48/51 — amending Regulations 126 of C.R.O. 1950 Open season for Fox in

counties.
O. Reg. 54/51 — New Waters set apart.

DIVISION OF OPERATION AND PERSONNEL

PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT

During the past year the total staff reached an all time high of 1561. excluding
casual employees, an increase of 52 over the figure for the previous year. New
employees included 44 holding university degrees. As a result of the policy of
appointing personnel on the Temporary Staff to the Permanent Staff whenever possible,
Permanent employees now make up 90% of the total staff, excluding casuals.

The volume of work performed by the Personnel Management section has
increased considerably over the past year. This was due to increased turn-over,
maintenance of more detailed records for all phases of the work; compilation of an
increasing amount of statistical data concerning staff and related matters, and the
intensification of the Safety and Accident Prevention Program.

The following table indicates the total number of employees on the staff each
month :

Despite the fact that the Department does not advertise The Junior Ranger
program in any way, many more applications are received each year than can
be accepted. In 1950, 564 applications were received, of which a total of 283 were
accepted for employment. It is significant to note that many of the boys are desirous
of taking up forestry work in ensuing years. The main work undertaken during the
summer under review consisted of construction and maintenance of telephone lines,
clearing portages and trails, clearing camp sites, repairing buildings, painting and
construction work. Instruction was given in the use and care of tools, outboards,
pumps and canoes.

ANNUAL REPORT ON WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION COSTS

The Workmen's Compensation Report shows a considerable decrease in both
costs and number of accidents for the past fiscal year 1950-51. The costs have de-
creased by approximately S6000.00 and number of accidents have decreased by 107.

The fire season has not been as severe as the previous two years and this is
a major factor in the amount of decrease of accidents. In general, the severity of
accidents sustained was much less than that of the previous season and. therefore,
medical costs and compensation were not as great.

There has been a marked decrease in the number of accidents caused by axes,
falling objects, and those listed under miscellaneous. On the other hand, there were
9 plane accident cases but only 2 planes involved. On June 29th, 1950, a plane with
the pilot and 3 passengers failed at the take-off and crash landed in the bush. The
injuries in this case were only slight. An unfortunate plane crash occurred on
September 7th. 1950. when the plane piloted by S. Hutnick. and containing four
passengers, crashed near Temagami and all the occupants of the plane were killed.
This has necessitated the opening of three new pension claims as three of the plane
occupants left dependents. Five new pensions for the fiscal year 1950-51 were started
with one former pension being discontinued. The pension costs have increased by
SI 700.00 which is consistent with the increase in number of pensions.

Although the amount recoverable from Department of Public Works was
S595.85, the Workmen's Compensation Board credited us with a refund of S580.51
for the Kotimaa claim, which is now being charged direct to Public Works. Therefore,
the balance recoverable from Public Works is shown as SI 5.34.

TRAINING

Hkad Office Staff Course

During the year another Head Office Staff Course was conducted and
attended by il of the Department's personnel representing all the districts in the

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 86

Province and several of the Head Office staff. Instruction was given by the following
Divisions: Operation and Personnel, Law, Accounts, Land and Recreational Areas,
Timber ^Management, Forest Protection, Fish and Wildlife, Surveys and Engineering
and Research, and where applicable, those attending were handed charts, manuals
and copies of Acts. From comments of the personnel attending, they obtained through
the instruction, a better and broader knowledge of the operation of the Divisions in
which they were instructed.

Mechanical Training

To assist in the care and maintenance of our mechanical equipment 20
employees were sent to a training school operated by the Outboard Marine Motor
Company at Peterborough and received instruction on outboard motors and fire
pumps. The instruction was of excellent value to our men and they derived
knowledge of this equipment which could only be obtained at the factory.

One man was sent to the Crothers Diesel plant to receive instruction about
Diesel engines. He is now stationed at a centre where repairs are made on the job
by the mechanic or forwarded to a central point thereby decreasing the "lost time"
factor.

Of our supervisorv staff 10 men from the field attended a course on Motor
Vehicle Maintenance and 12 a course on Fleet Supervisors. These courses were
conducted by the Safety Division of the University of Toronto and lectures were
delivered to the students, by key personnel of various automotive manufacturing
companies from whom valuable knowledge was obtained.

Ranger School

The Ranger School is functioning to capacity and with the 42 graduates this
year the total number of students having attended and graduated is 237.

Scaling Schools

With the holding of scaling schools at Carnarvon and Sault Ste. Marie this
year there are now 320 fully licensed scalers and 23 licensed to scale pulpwood.
The holders of "pulp" licences have an opportunity of trying for full licences at a
later date. Other scalers' schools will be conducted during the year.

Pre-Service Training

A course was instituted whereby a candidate seeking em.ployment as a
Conservation Officer was brought to Head Office and given instruction and training
prior to appointment and allocation. This was the first pre-service training undertaken
bv the Department. The results were most gratifying with 11 candidates attending.

Safety and Training

As a safety and training officer was appointed late in the year we are now
working on Instruction courses and safety measures to be carried out during the
coming year. Figures compiled from statistics at hand show that there are

450 trained in Job Instruction Training

30 trained in Job Relations Training

1 trained in Job Methods Training

During the District Foresters' conference a trip was arranged through the
courtesy of the Workmen's Compensation Board so that the District Foresters and
several Head Office personnel were privileged to visit the W.C.B. convalescent
centre at Malton and to see at first hand how industrial casualties are rehabilitated
and prepared for re-employment after treatment.

OFFICE MANAGEMENT SECTION

1. Locating, Purchasing and Expediting of Equipment and Supplies:

During the year, very little difficulty was experienced in securing equipment
and supplies. In most cases. Departmental requirements were met by immediate
delivery. In cases where stocks on hand did not permit of immediate delivery, delays
were not as prolonged as during other post-war years. As the months passed, it became
apparent that a shortage of steel was developing and that steel equipment would
soon be difficult to secure. With this in mind, a survey of Departmental needs for
the next fiscal year was made, and filing cabinets, map cabinets, and other steel
equipment ordered in time to ensure delivery before conditions became more critical.
All types of metals became much more difficult to procure toward the close of the
year.

2. Distribution of Equipment and Supplies:

In spite of the lack of adequate storage space, an increase was noted in the
weight and number of shipments, of supplies and equipment to field offices, as compared
with previous years.

Express and freight shipments reached a total of over 170 tons gross, consisting
of about 12.500 parcels, cartons, and crates. In addition to this, 29,300 pamphlets
including the Department's magazine ''Sylva," were enclosed in envelopes and mailed;
75,000 circulars, including the weekly news release were collated, folded and mailed.
Licences prepared and shipped rose to a total of 802,900 contained in 10,210 separate
orders or shipments.

3. Staff Uniforms:

Generally speaking, no major changes were made in the uniform equipment
issued to qualified personnel, with the exception of the purchase of light-weight
summer caps. These are made of the same material as the summer uniform and should
not only add to the appearance of the uniform, but give the wearer a considerable
amount of added comfort.

Through the use of laboratory tests in selecting materials, and experience
gained over the years, the uniform equipment as issued at present is of high quality
and good appearance.

The total number of personnel now equipped with uniforms is 520 and the
administrative duties such as purchasing, issuing, replacing, and recording have
increased with the number of personnel equipped.

Page 89 Division of Operation and Personnel

4. Duplicating. Prixtixg. Distributiox of Prixted ^Iatter:

Production of Departmental forms, pamphlets, reports and other printed matter
that could be handled by either the Multilith or INIimeograph process was increased
during the year. This increase was achieved despite the lack of adequate space and
the fact that, for most of the time, a shortage of trained staff existed.

The total impressions for the various processes were as follows:

Multilith - - - - 4,474,550

Mimeograph - - - 773,271

These figures show an increase of 541,500 impressions for the Multilith and
265,100 for the ^Mimeograph over the previous year.

In preparation of work for the printing room, the \'ari-typer operator prepared
288 photographic drafts for new negatives, 62 paper plates as well as numerous
stencils and many alterations to negatives.

5. Servicixg axd Space Adjustments:

Servicing might be generally defined as the effort expended by this section in
seeing that office machinery and equipment is kept in good working order, organizing
the moving of furniture and equipment when necessary and in doing or supervising the
numerous small but time-consuming jobs required to keep the equipment functioning
smoothly. All requests for such service have been carried out to the satisfaction of
those concerned.

Due to the lack of any available space, little has been dune with regard to
space adjustments.

6. Conferences:

Considerable difficulty was encountered in securing suitable accommodation
for the conferences, meetings, and classes that were held during the year, and on a
number of occasions, it was necessary to rent meeting rooms from outside sources.
This condition is caused by the lack of sufficient conference-room space within the
Buildings.

7. Properties, Leasing, etc.:

The leasing of premises for Departmental use is to be taken over by the
Department of Public Works, and arrangements were made to turn all existing leases
over to them as of April 1, 1951.

This action does not relieve this section of any of its responsibility, nor does
it lessen the work involved, but it does centralize the work of preparing leases and
payment of rentals so that a standard throughout the province can be maintained.

During the current year, the following projects were carried out, with regard to
District Offices:

New premises leased — 3
New premises purchased — 1
Additions to present offices leased — 2
Renewals of leases — 4
Extensions to leases — 2

8. Records Office:

In the records office, the lack of sufficient space is acute as in all other sections
of the Division and the Department as a whole. To make room for new files each year
a large number of the older files have to be moved to the storage vault at Maple.
While these older files are not in use continually, they are required from time to
time, and it is necessary to send messengers for various files quite frequently. There
is also a shortage of staff in this section, and as the juniors are also used as messengers
for the Department, it has been difficult to maintain good service at all times.

INFORMATION AND EDUCATION SECTION
Organization

The Information and Education Section is divided into two co-operative units
with a Supervisor in charge of Information and a Supervisor responsible for Education.

Its over-all purpose is to stimulate public interest in, understanding of, and
support for the main objective of the Department, which is to protect from depletion
and bring about the full development and utilization of the natural resources under
its administration, in the best interests of all the people of Ontario.

EDUCATION SECTION

Visual Education

The film ''Out of the Smoke" was completed by the end of the year 1950 and
copies were distributed to all District offices. This film depicts the salvage operations
which were undertaken by the Department following the Mississagi-Chapleau Fire of
1948. During the year 1950-51 the following films were added to our library for use
of both Head Office and field personnel:

Trees are a Crop Management of Men on the Fire Line

Shot^'un Shooting and How • Then It Happened

Green Harvest Accidents Don't Happen

Loon's Necklace Gun Dogs

Rape of the Earth Shadows in the Stream

Loolv to the Forest Sharp Eyes

Just a Bunch of Tools Spearheads in the Sky

Use of the Forest

Exhibits

An important part of the Department's public appeal is carried on across the
Province by exhibits, displays and floats. Of the total (64 during the year), ten of
these are of major proportions including nationally known exhibitions. Displays at
these major exhibits cover a total of over 60,000 square feet of displays.

During the year there were:

Major exhibits 10

Sportsmen's Shows 6

Larger county fairs 18

Smaller fairs and floats 34

Total 64

Lecture Tours

Prior to April 1st, 1950, the public relations work of the Department was
carried on with one Departmental representative doing the work for each Region. In
an effort to intensify this work on a broad scale, the senior field officers of each
District were given the responsibility of carrying out the public relations activities,

Page 91

Division of Operation and 'Personnel

attendins meetinais and exhibits as speakers and showinc: the various films depicting
the activities of the Department. With the number of Divisional officers at Head
Office doing this same work, this means a matter of two hundred officers contacting and
speaking to the public instead of the original seven or eight.

In order to assist in this work, each District has been equipped with a 16 mm.
sound projector, a 35 mm. slide projector, films and screens during the past year.
Besides these officers working for the Department, we also have a force of approxi-
mately two hundred Conservation Officers who, along with their normal duties.
attend all exhibits and often visit schools and private groups to discuss with them the
problems of protection regarding fish and game conservation.

At the same time the Canadian Forestry Association's Ontario Branch was
partially subsidized by this Department to the extent of $4000 and two trucks with
complete lecture tour equipment. This nationally known organization took up the
lecture tour work in the schools with vigour and a summary of their tours appears
as an appendix to the Department tours listed below.

The following table shows a summary of lecture tours for the period April 1st,
1950 to March 31st, 1951.

Photography

Cameras are supplied to all Divisions and District Offices for record purposes.

Two professional photographers cover the procuring of activity photographs
which are used for all departmental publications, in Sylva, and for distribution to
newspapers and periodicals (news and technical), across the Province.

A complete cross-indexed filing system is maintained for all photographs.
Photographs are indexed under each Divisional activity.

In the year 1949 over 13,000 8 x 10 prints were processed in this section. In
1950 this was nearly doubled with 25.000 prints being turned out.

This section has also undertaken the cataloguing of 35 mm. film slides for use
in the public relations activities of the Department.

16 mm. colour motion films are being produced, the first one — completely
photographed by Department personnel — being "Out of the Smoke", issued in 1950.

INFORMATION SECTION

Publications

During the year under review a vacancy in the staff handling publications
slowed up the work of production. Despite the handicap, however, the following
publications were completed.

Minister's Annual Report — (Booklet) Game and Fisheries Act — (Booklet)

Six Issues Departmental Magazine — (Booklet) Three Manuals Timber Management —
Planning for Tree Planting — (Booklet) (Booklets)

Care and Planting of Trees — (Booklet) Administrative Division Chart — (Chart)

Lands for Settlement — (Booklet) Timber Management in Ontario — (Booklet)

Reforestation and Woodlot Management — Statutes Administered by the Department —

(Booklet) 29 Acts — (Loose-leaf volume)

The following publications are in some stage of preparation or revision:

Ontario Forest Atlas Wildlife Booklet

Lefax Statistics Two Manuals of Timber Management

Reports by Professor Matthews One issue of the Department's Magazine

Revised Administrative Acts Minister's Annual Report

Forest Protection Booklet

Publicity

The term publicity is used here to describe that part of the work by means
of which the public is kept informed concerning departmental administration and
educated through such media as the press, outside publications, radio, exhibits, and
signs and posters. Activities during the year were as follows:

Press

The Weekly News Release known as "Conservation Corner" was issued
regularly every week to all of the newspapers in the Province, as well as to Radio
Stations. Outdoor Writers. Game and Fish Protective Associations and a miscellaneous
list of interested conservationists and house organs. It approximates 2,000 words per

Page 93 Division of Operation and Personnel

issue and consists, for the most part, of reports on departmental activities, changes
in the Acts, particularly the Game and Fisheries Act, open seasons for hunting, fishing
and trapping and conservational appeals for the protection of the resources.

Our records show that it is serving a most useful purpose and its acceptability
rating has considerably increased. The average weekly column space being used by
newspapers throughout the Province is now from eight hundred to one thousand
column inches or approximately forty to fifty full news columns.

In addition to the regular News Release some twenty-nine press releases on
matters of more or less urgency were issued to the metroj^olitan dailies and wire
services. The Section clipping file now totals three hundred and two individual files
with an estimated twenty thousand clippings per year.

Articles

A number of articles were provided to newspapers issuing special editions,
and considerable assistance given to writers seeking information for feature articles.

R.ADIO

The Information Section prepared three long radio scripts and provided
material for a number of short scripts and announcements. In addition a great deal of
coverage was provided by radio stations throughout the Province as a result of the
regular news service.

Photo Rele.ases

During the year some fourteen photo release stories, with an average of seven
photographs per release, were prepared and issued to the press.

Advertisements

Copy was supplied for forty-three paid Display Advertisements in magazines
and newspapers during the year. They varied from one-quarter page to full page
advertisements, mostly in black and white with art work or photos. Each stressed
the need for public co-operation in preventing forest fires and conserving the resources.

.Administrative advertisements to the number of one hundred and twenty-seven
were also inserted in newspapers throughout the Province.

Posters and Signs

The distribution of posters and signs to district offices was continued and the
following posters reprinted:

Extract Game and Fisheries Act Notice to Settlers

Forest Fires .Are Caused By— Prevent Forest Fires (2)

Look Before You Leave This Forest .Area Closed

Notice— this is the property of— Trees for Tomorrow

Miscellaneous Publicity Materials

Available supplies of pencils, rulers, and whetstones, each of them bearing a
conservation appeal, were distributed to organized groups in large numbers.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 94

Correspondence

An average of six hundred routine requests for information or publications
was handled monthly. These are in addition to a fairly large number of (personal and
written) requests for information requiring considerable research or special attention.

Personal Enquiries

The section also handled a large number of telephone calls daily and inter-
viewed a considerable number of callers seeking first hand information or publications.

DIVISION OF REFORESTATION

Extension Forestry

The increased staff of Zone Foresters has made it possible to complete a
survey of markets for woodlot products. Local market directories have been supplied
to each District, and a general directory is retained in Head Office.

A high percentage of private planting sites, and many private woodlots, were
inspected. A favourable response to this service was received from landowners.

A survey of survival in private plantations was completed. Survival of some
species was low. This emphasizes the importance of the policy of inspecting private
planting sites.

Nurseries

Development of the new nursery areas at Saint Williams, Midhurst and
Orono continues. The use of chemicals for the purpose of weeding seed beds and
transplant beds was initiated, and in general gave promise of reduced costs on this
operation.

The area of Authority and ^Municipal Forests under Agreement increased
this year by 8,837.02 acres, to 75,628.97 acres. Working plans for woodlots, with
the resultant cut regulation figures, were completed for six County Forests.

In addition to other products, over 1,500 cords of pulpwood were sold from
Municipal Forests under Agreement.

DIVISION OF RESEARCH

General Introduction

As the Research Division is concerned with the solution of certain problems of
forest protection, forest management, reforestation, and fish and wildlife management,
reference is made to projects in the following, under these headings.

Forest Protection: The research work in this connection is largely of a mechanical
nature, concerned with the improvement of present and the design of new forest fire
fighting equipment. The main object is to take the load off the fire fighter's back, and
to permit the effective use of mechanical power on the fire line. Examples of equipment
developed along these lines are the Pack Tractor and the Easifill fire fighter's pack
tank.

Forest Management: The problems which are given to the Research Division for solu-
tion are those of forest reproduction of some species after logging and fire, and of
timber growth rate. Studies are made of the reproduction and growth of the most
important commercial species in the various regions across the province and
experiments are established to prove the findings. As environment has an important
relationship, soil, climatic and silvicultural studies are integrated.

Reforestation: Research projects include the study of seeds, seeding methods, and the
production of new and better varieties of trees. The study of seeds aims to improve
the production of seed of various tree species to assure a steady supply instead of the
widely fluctuating provision of natural forests. The object of the seed treatment
studies is to improve germination and survival and to provide seeding devices as a
means of reforestation. Examples of mechanical aids in reforestation which have been
developed at the Station are the Infra-red Seed Extractor and the Walking Stick
Seeder. Two important tree breeding projects are proceeding, one with white pine and
the other with poplars. The first is designed to produce a white pine resistant to
blister rust and weevil, and the second to produce a poplar of rapid growth, high
quality wood, and resistant to disease.

Fish and Wildlife Management: The objectives are the provision of information
necessary for the management of fish and wildlife, and, hence, the improved produc-
tion of game and commercial fish, and game and fur-bearing animals. The study of
the relationship of fish, birds and mammals to their environment is an integral part of
the programs. Environmental relationships are being investigated through field studies
of habits and behaviours — food habits, habitat requirements, and the incidence of
parasites and disease. Populations are subject to periodic changes from scarcity to
plenty, and often since one species is dependent on others for food, a decline in one
may be accompanied by a decline in others dependent on it.

Co-operative Agencies

The research work conducted both at the Station and in the field is characterized
by a high degree of co-operation between the Research Division of the Department
and other research organizations, such as those of the Government of Canada, the
universities, the Research Council of Ontario and the Ontario Research Foundation.
Close co-operation also exists between the Division of Research and the forest
industries, commercial fishermen and hunting and fishing groups, both in the
initiation of and the carrying out of research projects.

Southern Research Station

A Quonset storage building was completed during the year and the new
biological research building was nearing completion at the close of the year. For
permanent record purposes the following description of the station is included in
this report.

Location: The station proi^erty is located appro.ximately eighteen miles north of
Toronto on Dufferin Street just north of the road between :\Iaple and Richmond Hill.

Property: The site was chosen because it is marginal farm land suitable for forest
use, far enough away from city influences and expansion. The property in 1951 is one
hundred acres in area, thirty acres of which were purchased in 1944, and seventy
acres in 1947.

Buildings: Since the start of construction in 1944, nine buildings have been erected
to date of 1951. Onlv two of these buildings are occupied wholly by research staff.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 108

SOUTHERN RESEARCH STATION

BUILDINGS AND ROADS 1951

Three others are used exclusively by other Divisions of the Department; two are
shared between the Research Division and the Lake Simcoe District Office, and one is
the property superintendent's residence. In addition to these nine buildings there are
five smaller structures, including a pump house for station water supply, a pump test
and gas house, two garages and a potting shed for the greenhouse.

In the following a brief description is made of the various buildings with
regard to occupancy and use. The numbers given refer to those noted on the Station
plan.

Reference No. 1: This building is now occupied by the mechanical research section;
part of the fisheries research group: the property superintendent's office; the vehicle
repair garage; and the Lake Simcoe District office. In e.xplanation of the latter it may
be noted that the province is divided for administrative purposes into twenty-two
districts of which the Lake Simcoe District is one.

Reference No. 2: The Laboratory for Experimental Limnology is used exclusively for
fisheries research, carried on under co-operative arrangement with the University of
Toronto.

Reference No. 3: Biological Research building space is used in a proportion of about
one-third by the Division of Fish and Wildlife and two-thirds by the Division of
Research. The Division of Research quarters include a wildlife laboratory, a
silvicultural laboratory and a chemical laboratory, a draughting room, a library, two

Page 109 Division of Re sear c b

refriseration rooms, and a number of offices. The Division of Fish and Wildlife has a
large laborator\' and a number of offices and other rooms. A lunch room, a carpentry
shop and several other work shops occupy the balance of the space.

Reference Xo. 4: The greenhouse is used entirely for tree breeding and silvicultural
research.

Reference Xo. 5 : This building was originally a research garage and chemical labora-
tory but is now wholly used as net and boat storage space by the Division of Fish and
Wildlife.

Reference Xo. 6: This building is a storage vault wholly used for permanent record
files of the Department in the custody of the Division of Operation and Personnel.

Reference Xo. 7 : This is a steel Quonset building used for storage of equipment of the
Division of Surveys and Engineering and of the Division of Research.

Reference Xo. 8: This is the central radio station of the Department. It reaches all
district offices and is connected by telephone and teletype to the head office in the
Parliament Buildings. It is operated by the Division of Forest Protection. Living
accommodation for the operator is provided in the building.

Mechanical Research

X'arious projects since 1945 have produced tools and equipment for many
branches of the department, but the major developments have been in the field of
forest protection and reforestation.

Brief descriptions will be given of some of the major devices made or in
production. The first is the "Pack Tractor"".

The "Pack Tractor" or "creep"" was first suggested at a meeting of regional
foresters with representatives of the Research Division and a consultant from industry.
This meeting was held after the ^Mississagi fire and the foresters were asked what
piece of fire fighting equipment they would most like to have. The answer was some-
thing that would get power on to the fire line and that would take the load from the
fire fighter"s back in covering the last mile or so from air, road or rail transport to the
fire. The pack tractor was built in answer to this demand.

It is a crawler or track laying vehicle, five and one-half feet long, two and
one-half feet wide and three and a third feet high, and weighs six hundred and fifty
pounds. It will carry its own weight through the bush with little trail cutting. It can
be broken down into six pieces each weighing no more than one hundred and thirty
pounds for handling by air transport although the whole machine could be contained
in a Beaver airplane cabin. The machine may be knocked down or re-assembled by
one man in ten minutes.

By the end of 1951 it is expected that this tractor will be produced commercially.

In order to reduce labour, time and cost in forest tree nursery and planting
practices, a special drive has been made towards mechanization, to which research
has contributed. Two such devices are the seedling lifter and root pruner. both of
which may be mounted on a large tractor. A steel blade penetrates the ground to a
depth of six inches acro.ss the full width of the seedling bed. The seedling lifter

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 110

loosens the soil so that seedlings may be lifted out easily, either for transplanting or
direct shipping while the root pruner cuts the roots a few inches below the surface
and stimulates the formation of a compact root growth.

In order to improve the yield of forest tree seeds, a pilot plant was built in
1947 which applied infrared heat to cones. Tests showed better and faster results
than the old method and the pilot plant was moved to the provincial seed extraction
plant at Angus where it has been in operation for three years. Tests are continuing
there on red pine, for which this method appears well adapted.

A seeding probe or ''walking stick"' seeder was built for direct seeding of forest
trees wherever this method is possible or practical. This device is hand operated and
light in weight. It punches a hole in the ground and drops a single seed. It is designed
to handle coated seeds because they are uniform in size and can be dispensed readily
one at a time. Naked seed of some species can be used though not with the same
precision, and several seeds may be dropped at once.

A number of other projects have been or are being carried on including the
following: the "Easifill" fire fighter's pack can, which may be quickly and easily filled
in very shallow water; a mechanically operated fire hose folder and a fire line digger;
tests of hose for resistance to wear and decay; an aerial seeder for dispensing forest
tree seed from airplanes ; tests of carboloy and stellite — treated and untreated cutting
tools to keep tools sharp for a longer time.

Seed Studies

Seeding Habit of Red Pine: This project continues under the direction of Dr. George
Duff, who began this work in 1946. The main object of the work is to gain an under-
standing of the factors controlling the production and behaviour of forest tree seed.
The red pine has been chosen as the first species to be investigated because seed pro-
duction of this important reforestation tree is very erratic. Field headquarters for
this investigation is at Angus, and the work is done mainly on trees in the plantations
of Simcoe County (Angus, Camp Borden, Midhurst and Craighurst) and at Chalk
River.

In the study during 1950 of factors controlling cone production the chief point
of interest lay in the heavy premature seed production of young trees in the Craighurst
plantation. The pattern of growth exhibited by the bearing trees in contrast with the
barren specimens was investigated, and the correlation of this with the topographical
and soil conditions in the stand is being determined. The first attempt was made in
1950 to influence growth and cone production by the application of growth hormones
to trees in several of the plantations.

In the study of factors restricting seed production in formed cones, work on
insects infesting cones was begun by the Forest Insect Laboratory and will be reported
elsewhere. The occurrence of aborted and hollow seed was found to be substantial,
and the causes appear to be complex.

Work on the optimum conditions for seed production in culture continued.
Experimental plots have been prepared by thinning existing plantation stands as they
reached various stages of density. There are now plots of thirty, twenty and

Page in

Division of Research

fifteen years of age and plots of mixed ages in which the growth pattern of the trees
before and after liberation is being recorded. The time and manner in which the trees
become productive will be determined. Additions were made to the nursery collection of
young trees which are the progeny of highly productive parents. These trees will be
set out permanently on sites to be chosen within the next three years.

Seed Treatment

The coating or pelleting of seeds for use in mechanical seeders still continues
at the Southern Research Station, and the process has been perfected to a point where
a specially designed seeder (the Brohm Seeder) has been completed to use these
pellets for actual seeding operations in the forest where such an operation is feasible.
The other aspects of coating, such as the addition of fungicides, rodent and insect
repellents, fertilizers and hormones, are still being studied with reasonable prospects
of ultimate success. Experimental seeding operations are being conducted in the Port
Arthur district and Manitoulin Island, in co-operation with pulp and paper companies.

Forest Tree Breeding

Work continued during the year in the three main projects: White Pine,
Poplars, and the Arboretum.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 112

White Pine: As in former years efforts were concentrated in this project on the
assembling of breeding materials and their testing and evaluation.

With better facilities and new techniques it was possible to expand greatly the
grafting of white pine and improve the quality of the results. Much new and valuable
material has been assembled in this way.

An experiment revealed that it is definitely possible to infect seedlings with
blister rust during their first year in the seed beds.

A small plantation of black currants was established in a low, sheltered cleared
spot in partial shade to provide inoculum for infection in the fall, when the occurrence
of dry weather destroys most of the currant leaves.

Outside grafting, developed in 1948 and perfected in 1949, was used for mass
propagation of some Mugo pine and Japanese red pine {Pinus densi flora) which were
grafted into the plantation of Scotch pine established in the fall of 1947. Scions were
also collected from some seedlings of Pinus cembra growing at Angus and successfully
grafted into the crown of a mature white pine at Maple. This experiment is to investi-
gate Burbank's method of inducing early flowering, and determine whether it may be
applied to white pine and related species.

The artificial hybridization undertaken in 1949 in the plantation at Pointe
Platon in Quebec yielded some 3000 presumably hybrid seeds. This is the first time
that hybrid white pine seeds have been obtained with both parents resistant to
blister rust.

The breeding work carried out with white pine at the Southern Research
Station has now grown to such an extent and produced such results that it begins to
receive international recognition. In recent years visitors to the Station from the
United States, Sweden, France, Denmark, Norway and Finland have commented very
favourably on the achievements.

Poplar: In work with the aspen group it has been possible to gradually assemble a
fairly large collection of silver poplar materials from several parts of its native and
cultivated range in Europe. Most of this has been propagated up to a volume which
makes it possible to start a fairly comprehensive rooting capacity test from stem
cuttings.

Following the promising results of budding in 1949, new budding material was
collected on a fairly large scale at Harvard Forest where a good collection of native
aspens from a wide range of localities is available.

Work with induction of early flowering by using the dwarf variety of
trembling aspen occasionally found in southern Ontario is beginning to yield tangible
results. •

Poplar hybridization was again undertaken on a fairly large scale, using mostly
pollen of European aspen.

Arboretum: Efforts are now concentrated on building up an extensive breeding
arboretum of white pine and poplars.

Forest Growth

Measurement of hardwoods in Peninsular Ontario was continued during the
summer of 1950. The purpose is to provide tables that will enable woodlot owners to
estimate the volume of material that might be removed from their woodlots. Tables
for sugar maple and beech were completed during the first part of 1950. Not enough
data had been collected for other species until the 1950 field work was completed.
Work on tables for white elm and soft maple was then begun and completed early in
1951. Other features of tree growth and tree volume were investigated as the volume
table work progressed.

Forest Soils

Work in soils research is under the direction of Mr. G. A. Hills.

Forest Site Regions and Landjorm Patterns: Information secured during 1950 in the
Kenora and Patricia areas completed a reconnaissance of the province commenced in
1944 with the object of preparing a site region map. This map, with a description of
the site regions, demonstrates the application of the recently devised site classifications
to Ontario conditions. These site regions will provide a better basis for the study of
forest regeneration, growth and yield, and silvicultural tests leading to the apjiliration
of improved forest management practices.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 114

Reference Areas for the Identification of Basic Sites: In 1950 field parties selected and
examined in detail areas in various parts of the province which will have soils and
sites mapped in detail and may be used by foresters and others to assist them in the
recognition of various basic sites. These basic sites are recognized as a combination of,

1. Topographic features, elevation and aspect that determine local climate;

2. Ground-water and soil profile features determining soil moisture regime;
and,

3. Texture and structure of soil and geologic materials determining the move-
ment and retention of water available to plant roots.

Reference areas have been established in the Thunder Bay, Muskoka and Parry Sound
districts and Haliburton County; in the Petawawa Management Unit; in five County
Forests, and at Orono nursery.

Ecoclimatic {local climate) Studies: Twenty-one stations were set up at the University
Forest in Haliburton County to study differences in soil and vegetative development
on various physiographic positions. Daily measurements of air temperature, evaporation,
sunshine and rainfall were recorded close to the ground surface.

Laboratory Analysis: The work of analysing representative soil samples secured by
field parties was continued at the Southern Research Station. Field samples obtained
in 1951 will fill the gaps and permit the preparation of a preliminary report on the
chemical and physical characteristics of the soils of Northern Ontario.

Greenhouse Studies: The soil requirements of red pine were studied in the greenhouse
at the Southern Research Station, using soil samples from Orono nursery. Application
of various fertilizers were made to promote a balanced root development and to
increase the percentage of survival. Tests of various methods of reducing soil acidity
were also conducted.

In addition to the greenhouse work assistance was given in planning an experi-
ment to study the requirements of red pine in relation to growth and disease in the
Orono nursery seedbeds.

Assistance was also given in establishing permanent sample plots in Algonquin
Park and the University Forest for soils and silvicultural experiments.

Soil Microbiology: Studies in forest soil microbiology were initiated in the University
Forest. Arrangements were made to set aside permanent sample plots in the Maple-
Hemlock stands from which large samples of surface organic layers were taken for
testing of soil fungi development and function.

Regional Projects

South Central Region: General exploratory work was continued with respect
to the condition of the white pine, including preliminaries to the setting up of an active
research project in the Petawawa ^Management Unit in co-operation with the Division
of Timber Management. It is proposed that the project will include a study of cutting
methods to secure adequate regeneration, maximum growth on residual stands and
adequate growing stock.

Page 115 Division of Research

The re-establishment of stands of white pine is one of the most pressing forest
problems in Ontario, and investigation is most urgently required.

A long-term study of yellow birch was started in the summer of 1950. The
object is to determine what has brought about the poor condition of yellow birch in
the western portion of the South-Central Region, and what corrective action may be
taken.

Midwestern Region: The work undertaken includes the following projects:

1. Re-examination of the permanent sample plots established in 1948 in the
Black Sturgeon Concession of the Great Lakes Paper Company.

2. Re-examination of the permanent sample plots established in 1949 in the
Thunder Bay-Xipigon Concession of the Abitibi Power and Paper Company.

3. Establishment and tally of a ten acre plot for statistical analysis of
information gathered.

4. Establishment of a spacing plantation.

5. Seed dispersal test.

6. Re-examination of a seeding and planting experiment established in 1947
on the limits of the Central Canada Forest Products. Ltd., Beardmore.

Northern Region: A research forester. E. K. E. Dreyer. was appointed to the
region in the spring of 1950, with headquarters at Cochrane. Mr. Dreyer is working
along the same lines as the two research foresters already appointed. That is. a study
is being made of the means of management applicable to the species indigenous to the
various regions. An extensive study of the cutting practices and their effect on black
spruce is already under way in Leitch Township.

Forest Pathology

The Division continued its co-operative arrangement with the Laborator}- of
Forest Pathology, Division of Botany. Department of Agriculture. Canada. Two
members of the staff of the Division were on loan to this laboratory during the past
year.

Several co-operative projects were undertaken, including the following:

Damping-off in Red Pine: In October. 1950. an extensive program was initiated
to study the results of applying fertilizers to the soil in which red pine seed were sown
at the Orono Provincial Forest Station. The purpose of the experiment is to ascertain
whether the addition of fertilizers to the soil will promote vigorous enough growth to
the seedlings to throw off attack of damping-off fungi. Soil studies were made, the
various materials were applied and a system for the collection and interpretation of
the data was developed.

Other co-operative studies, which were reported in some detail last year, were
continued, including deterioration of birch, tree damage from atmospheric pollution,
and needle blight of white pine. For detailed information on these studies reference
should be made to separate reports by Dr. L. T. White. Officer-in-Charge. Dominion
Laboratory of Forest Pathology, Toronto.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 116

Forest Entomology

Dr. C. E. Atwood continued to act in a consultancy capacity. During the past
year he made surveys of the following insect outbreaks in various parts of the
province:

1. Spruce budworm, in Pembroke and Kenora areas.

2. Larch sawfly, in the Kenora area.

3. Pine-feeding sawflies, in many parts of the province, particularly the Sault
Ste. Marie and Quetico areas. The European spruce sawfly was discovered
in the latter area, a great extension of its previously known range.

4. Yellow-headed spruce sawfly, general.

5. Miscellaneous insects on spruce and maple.

Dr. Atwood's connection with the Department helped him to maintain contact with
graduate students working on a number of projects in forest entomology, to mutual
advantage.

The Division continued its co-operative arrangement with the Division of
Forest Biology, Department of Agriculture, Canada, with particular reference to the
Forest Insect Laboratory, Sault Ste. Marie. Dr. M. L. Prebble, Officer-in-Charge,
issues a separate report.

Fisheries

By co-operative arrangement. Dr. F. E. J. Fry of the University of Toronto
continues to direct fisheries research for the Division, with the assistance of N. S.
Baldwin, a member of the staff of the Division. During the past year the research
program was carried out at three main centres — the Department's Fisheries Research
Station at South Baymouth, Manitoulin Island; the Ontario Fisheries Research
Laboratory, Algonquin Park, and the Department's Southern Research Station, near
Maple.

The South Bay Experiment: The damaging effects of large populations of undesirable
or coarse fish on the abundance of more desirable species have become a major concern
of both commercial and sport fishing interests. The purpose of the South Bay Experi-
ment is to determine whether a regulated net fishery which removes considerable
quantities of coarse fish would increase the production of commercial and game fish.
A committee representing all major interests is responsible for the conduct of the
experiment. The composition of this committee was outlined in last year's report.

Since the initiation of the experiment in 1947 net catches of the more
important coarse fish reached a total number of 554,517, while the catch of valuable
species, largely whitefish, totalled 140,797 lbs. The average annual removal of 8 lbs.
of coarse fish per acre of water, while believed to be a comparatively high return for
these waters, has had no observable effect as yet in reducing their abundance. The
net fishery has had neither a favourable or adverse effect on sport fishing.

Age determination of fish by study of their scales has allowed certain predic-
tions in the case of the sports fishery. Lake trout fishing will decline in the next two
or three years as there is no evidence of young fish to replace the abundant age group

Page 117

Division of Research

hatched in 1944. This age group, which has provided very attractive fishing in the
last two years, is now almost exhausted.

The disposal of fish waste arising from the netting operations is also being
studied. Further experiments in handling sucker fillets were carried on last year, and
a trial shipment of one ton was sent to a cold storage firm which undertook to test
their acceptability in the retail market. Some cooked fillet waste was sold as mink food.

Scientific investigations of the fish populations in South Bay are under the
direct supervision of Dr. Fry. Early investigations included biological and hydrological
surveys and the development of routine procedures for studying the catches. Informa-
tion has been collected on the food, growth and egg production of the more important
species. Changes in the size and age composition of fish caught are being followed in
order to determine the exact effects of the heavy fishing.

Tagging studies have yielded information on a number of important questions.
Over 5000 fish were tagged in 1950, almost half of which were whitefish. Recoveries
of these fish, and some tagged in previous years, showed extensive migrations of
whitefish, following two main routes. The larger group leaves South Bay and enters
the northern part of Georgian Bay through the Owen Channel at the south-east
corner of Manitoulin Island. The other group moves south across the mouth of
Georgian Bay to the west shore of the Bruce Peninsula.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page US

Tagging studies also indicated that lake trout movements are largely confined
to South Bay. There is evidence that the trout suffered heavily from lamprey predation
during the winter, 1949-1950.

Ontario Fisheries Research Laboratory: Co-operative investigation of the factors
concerned in lake productivity have been carried on since 1946 by the Department,
the Research Council of Ontario and the University of Toronto, under the direction
of Dr. R. R. Langford. A number of the projects have been involved, among which
are the artificial fertilization of lakes, the analysis of incoming nutrients, chemical
analysis of waters and the addition of lime to highly coloured lake waters. In addition,
the Department has carried out a speckled trout investigation under the direction of
N. S. Baldwin and an investigation of lake trout under N. V. Martin, as well as the
Algonquin Park creel census.

Lake Improvement Projects: The addition of chemical fertilizers to increase the
productivity of lake waters was commenced in 1946 and continued, with minor
changes, in 1950. Microscopic plants and animals, as well as forage fish, showed
increases in abundance. Oxygen depletion of bottom water as a result of fertilization
during 1950 became more acute. The quantities of fertilizer added are being adjusted
in an endeavour to correct this undesirable effect.

The chemical analysis of water entering and leaving the lakes under experiment
was continued at the Opeongo laboratory and at the Southern Research Station in
order that a "mineral balance sheet" for these lakes may be developed.

In the course of fertilization it was found that certain important chemical
substances in the fertilizers became bound to other substances and were not available
to the microscopic plants which are the starting point in the food chain. Hydrated
lime was added to one lake in 1950 in order to create an alkaline condition which, it
was hoped, would release the important elements to the plants. Another object in
adding lime was to decolorize the water to allow a deeper penetration of sunlight into
the lake. It was hoped that this would increase the microscopic plant populations at
lower levels. In addition, Dolomitic limestone was placed in the beds of inflowing
streams to give a more lasting effect. The liming of the lake made the water highly
alkaline at first, but this condition moderated and by October the lake was only
slightly alkaline. There was a 20' v decrease in the colour of the upper water, with a
comparable increase at lower levels. This indicated a "settling out" of the colour. The
higher aquatic plants showed a marked increase in response to this change in
conditions.

Algonquin Park Creel Census: For fifteen years the creel census has been following
trends in the fishing quality of Algonquin Park lakes. At the same time it has been
evaluating such management practices as restocking, lake closure to fishing in alter-
nate years, and lake fertilization. The job of studying the effects of water level
manipulation on lake trout spawning was assigned to the creel census of 1950.

The failure of extensive plantings of hatchery-reared speckled trout to improve
fishing has been demonstrated by the census. It did show, however, that good results
can be obtained when competing fish are first removed by poisoning.

Page 119 Division of Research

Speckled trout fishing was poorer in 1950 than in the previous two years, but
there was some indication that this decrease was due to unfavourable angling condi-
tions rather than to a decrease in the abundance of speckled trout.

Lake Trout Investigation: A knowledge of the movements of lake trout from one to
another of the four main basins of lake Opeongo is of considerable importance from a
management viewpoint. Tagging studies since 1949 show a movement of lake trout up
the lake in the spring and down the lake in the fall. It is not yet known what per-
centage of the fish make this migration. Studies of lake trout spawning and water level
fluctuations due to the operation of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario,
initiated in 1949, were continued in 1950. It was found that in Lake Opeongo a normal
draw-down of 2^2 feet had little effect on the spawning of lake trout. Similarly in
Hay Lake, where no serious water fluctuation was experienced in 1950. only slight
damage to spawn occurred. In Shirley Lake major water level fluctuations have con-
fined the lake trout to a narrow spawning bed of inferior quality, thereby interfering
seriously with natural reproduction. The depths at which lake trout spawn and the
position and extent of the spawning beds vary considerably from lake to lake. The
problem of lake level fluctuations and lake trout spawning should therefore be studied
at a local level. The development of techniques and equipment to aid in these studies
is under investigation.

Speckled Trout Investigation: X'arious aspects of the life history of the speckled
trout have been studied since 1947 in order to obtain information which would aid in
the management of this important game fish. A study of the growth rate of these fish
from a number of lakes and streams was undertaken in 1950. Investigations of the
various requirements of speckled trout in lakes was continued, but the proposed aerial
search for spawning sites, proposed in 1949, could not be undertaken due to unfavor-
able weather. Artificial spawning boxes were used by trout introduced into a small lake.
Further development of this device, it is hoped, will provide a means of encouraging
natural reproduction.

Southern Research Station: In 1948 the Department, in co-operation with the Uni-
versity of Toronto, established a laboratory for experimental limnology at this station.
During the past year laboratory investigation of the effects of temperature and low
oxygen on various species of trout and other fish have been undertaken. An investiga-
tion of the inheritance of temperature resistance has also been started. A fi.sh scale
projector, used to determine the age of fish, was in almost constant use during 1950
by technicians studying the rate of growth of fish collected in the field. Facilities were
also provided for the study of the food habits of fish sent in by the field stations.

Wildlife

Wildlife research projects were under the direction of C. D. Fowle.

Projects at the Wildlife Re.search Station. Algonquin Park—

Small Mammals: Studies of fluctuations and turn-over in small mammal populations
continued. A series of animals were examined for parasites, in co-operation with
the Ontario Research Foundation.

Small Bird Populations: Using the census technique developed in the jxist several
summers, the variations in density and species composition of thv bird pojuilations in
two distinct forest environments were studied.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 120

Ruffed Grouse: Field studies on the territorial behaviour and movements of ruffed
grouse were carried out at a reduced scale during the year. A few male birds were
banded on the study area, and some observations on birds banded previously were
made.

Bird Banding: Sixty-eight birds of fourteen species were banded during 1950.

Autopsies: A number of bears, deer and other mammals and birds were autopsied in
co-operation with the Ontario Research Foundation.

Other Projects — Beckwith Island Grouse Project: The object of this study is to stock
a relatively isolated island in Georgian Bay with disease-free ruffed grouse; to observe
the population growth, incidence of parasitism and disease, and habitat selection, in
the hope of throwing some light on the causes of regular fluctuations observed in
grouse populations. During the year, fourteen ruffed grouse were successfully reared
at the Department's Pheasant Farm at Codrington, and transferred to Beckwith
Island in September. Subsequent surveys will reveal the success of this introduction.

Woodcock Project: The object of this study is to determine migration routes through
Ontario, and thereby establish the sources of woodcock shot by hunters in Southern
Ontario in the fall. Preliminary work was begun when a party made a search of
Manitoulin Island for young birds to band.

Deer Project: A field party continued the survey, begun in 1949, of deer problems in
Northern Ontario. Information was gathered on such aspects as distribution and
abundance, classification of habitat, analysis of browse conditions, distribution and
extent of hunting pressure, and history of the northern extension of the deer range.
Checks were made of several thousand hunters at road blocks, chiefly in Southern
Ontario, to provide information on hunting success, and on sex and age composition
of the harvest. The age class study, begun in 1949, was continued, to try to develop
a method of determining age of bucks by antler measurements. Sportsmen con-
tributed about 400 heads from bucks and does for study.

Habitat Improvement: Studies of methods of improving wildlife habitat in agricultural
areas were continued. Six thousand Rosa multiflora seedlings were planted on a
variety of sites on privately owned land, in order to test winter hardiness, tolerance
of competition and soils. Some experimental plantations of other species have been
established and propagation of various experimental plants from cuttings and seed
was continued at the Southern Research Station. In the fall and early winter of 1950
a quantity of seed was collected from a number of native and ornamental shrubs for
testing in 1951.

Laboratory Studies: Since the work of the Wildlife Food Habits Laboratory at the
Royal Ontario ]\Iuseuni of Zoology was taken over in April of 1950, considerable work
has been done in preparing the collection for transfer to new quarters at the
Southern Research Station. The entire collection of over 1,000 mammals stomachs,
as well as about 3,000 of the 13,000 bird stomachs have been re-organized and
catalogued. Food analysis has been completed on the stomachs of moose (4), beaver
(10), fish (34), marten (3), timber wolves (30), and goshawk (1). Thirty-eight wolf
scats were also analvsed.

Page 121 Division of Research

Throughout the year co-operation was effected with several outside agencies.
The Department of Parasitology, Ontario Research Foundation, maintained a research
group at the Wildlife Research Station in Algonquin Park. Several graduate students
from the University of Toronto also worked there. The Station was made available
to the University for a two weeks field course in September.

Statistics

In 1948 the Division decided to make greater use of the rapidly expanding
science of statistics as standard practice in order to improve the design of its
experiments.

The work is under the direction of Dr. D. B. DeLury on a consultancy basis,
assisted by L. M. Morrison, a full-time Department employee, with respect to both
initiation and implementation of projects.

The heaviest project of the year 1950-51 related to the compilation of volume
tables for Southern Ontario hardwoods, to which reference is made elsewhere in this
report under the heading of "Forest Growth."

A second major project was the analysis of an experiment relating to a study
of the effect of seed pelleting on tree seed germination. Reference is made to the
pelleting study elsewhere in this report under the heading of "Seed Treatment."

An experiment was statistically designed for the Division of Reforestation to
study methods of transplanting tree seedlings from nursery beds.

A statistical design was developed to study the effect of fertilizers on combating
"damping-off"' fungi in red pine seedlings in nursery beds.

A design was provided for a study of the condition in which forest areas are
left after cutting in the Cochrane-Kapuskasing area.

The application of statistical design and analysis to the research projects
of the Division has again proven to be valuable.

DIVISION OF SURVEYS AND ENGINEERING

The primary requirements of any attempt of the intelligent use of our natural
resources and to solve the problem of the proper use of land and water is to have
available accurate maps showing topography, drainage systems, types of soil and
mineral resources. These maps make possible accurate description of the location
of places or areas to be served. It is impossible to estimate the value of proper maps
and aerial photographs to both Government agencies and industry and their value
is many times their cost.

Through the arrangement made with the Army Survey Establishment of the
Department of National Defence, four more sheets of the National Topographical
Map Series, on a scale of two miles to an inch, have been completed and provisional
prints of five other sheets are being checked before being printed. These maps may
be obtained through this Department at nominal charges. During this year, 2,250
of these maps were issued, being an increase of over 300 /< over the previous year.

During this year, power developments at Des Joachims and the Chenaux on
the Ottawa River, Pine Portage on the Nipigon River and the Tunnel Development
on the Mississagi River, were completed. The total installed capacity of these plants
will be 776.000 horsepower. This will increase the revenue derived from water power
rental by a substantial amount.

The number of parcels of Crown Lands surveyed for summer resort locations
was again increased The surveys of 1,737 parcels were completed, the plans
examined and checked and descriptions prepared so that patents could be issued.
This additional work made it necessary to increase the number employed both on
the field work and in the office staff. Marked progress has been made in meeting
the back-log of applications for resort parcels created during the post war period.
The Department used a survey party composed of members of its own staff on this
type of work.

Space was secured in part for a pre-fabricated quonset hut for storage space
for survey equipment and miscellaneous and survey and engineering plans. This
hut was constructed by the Department of Public Works at the Research Station,
Maple, Ontario.

The necessary legislation having been passed by both of the Provincial and
the Federal Parliaments to accept the boundary between the Provinces of Ontario
and Manitoba, as surveyed on the ground from Island Lake to Hudson's Bay,
arrangements were made to have permanent monuments established along this
boundary. An inspection was made of these monuments and the report of the
Boundary Commissioners is being prepared.

The portion of the photography and mapping, undertaken by the Aerial
Surveys Section of this Division, as part of the Forest Resources Inventory, having
been nearly completed, there was less amount of this type of work carried out during
the year. The members of the staff of that Section were used to prepare soil maps
for the Research Division and also, to prepare new maps showing additional
information obtained from the planimetric maps for townships that had not been
subdivided and where only the township outlines had been surveyed. This Section
will continue to photograph and map additional areas in the western part of the

Page 125 Division of Siineys and Engineering

Province that were not included in the original Forest Inventory Program. It
will be necessary to re-photograph areas that have been cut over or burnt over so that
this information may be added to the maps already prepared and in order to keep
the maps up to date.

In addition to the retracement surveys required for the survey of summer
resort locations, as listed in this report, a large number of township lot corners were
re-established and marked with permanent monuments during the survey of other
locations. This is helping to perpetuate the original surveys particularly in those
portions of the Province where the land is not suitable for agricultural purposes.

Aerial Surveys Section in co-operation with the University of Toronto and
the Research Council of Ontario were engaged in a program in research of the
possibilities of obtaining greater detail from the negatives by the process of ''unsharp
masking".

Private Surveys on Crown Lands

Under authority of Section 37 of the Public Land Regulations, 1737 summer
resort locations were surveyed and the returns of survey filed in the Department for
examination and approval. Seven hundred and eighty-two surveys of this number were
surveyed under direct Departmental instructions to the surveyor, where the applicant
paid in the survey fee to the District Office, as specified under Section 37 of the
Public Land Regulations and amendments thereto. This is an increase of 302 surveys
over the fiscal year ending March 31, 1950, and represents a new all-time high for the
number of surveys completed during any previous fiscal year. It can be expected
that the past fiscal year will represent the peak year for the number of summer resort
location surveys made on Crown Lands during any fiscal year.

Under the provisions of the Mining Act, some 490 Mining Claims were
surveyed and the returns of survey filed for examination and approval. This is an
increase of some 70 Mining Claim surveys made during the fiscal year ending March
31, 1950.

During the past year, 247 descriptions were written for i)arts of township lots
to be incorporated in Letters Patent to be issued by the Department under the
Division of Land and Recreational Areas.

Map Publications and Geographic Nomenclature

Due to the necessity of completing the work required for the nomenclature
shown on the map sheets of the Forest Resources Inventory much of the regular
work, of this office has been held in abeyance, thereby reducing the volume of work
ordinarily presented as accomplished during a year's time. Noted below are the
details of the major portions of such work:

494 map sheets of the Forest Inventory series were checked and completed
regarding the nomenclature with attendant referencing, etc., from all known sources
of information.

Complete lists of names were compiled for use in the compilation of 6 topo-
graphic maps (at 2 m. to 1") being produced by the Army Survey Establishment,
Department of National Defence.

At the request of Federal mapping offices, 12 other maps of the National
Topographic Series were checked for revised nomenclature prior to new editions
being produced; also 2 Hydrographic charts were treated in the same manner.

Steady progress has been made on the revision of the topography and nomen-
clature of our own map No. 24B of the Districts of Algoma, Sudbury, Timiskaming
and parts of Districts of Cochrane and Nipissing; this large map, at the scale of
8 miles to 1 inch, will be completed and reproduced during 1951 and will present in
reduced scale the major detail shown on the Forest Inventory base maps.

Considerable work has been done on the revision of our Geographic Xames
Index during the first six months of the fiscal year but lack of clerical staff since
that time has prevented further progress on this phase of our work.

The distribution of the map sheets of the National Topographic Series, on a
scale of 2 miles to the inch, prepared for us by the Army Survey Establishment.
Department of National Defence, from detail shown on the planimetric maps
produced in connection with the Forest Resources Inventory Program, has in-
creased considerably during the past year. Available for distribution this year were
the following four sheets of this series:

Map Distribution

The distribution of lithographed maps of the National Topographic Series,
relative to Ontario as published by the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys
in Ottawa, the Army Survey Establishment of the Department of National Defence
and Provincial issues distributed bv this Division, continues to increase.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 130

The popularity of the small sectional maps is increasing, particularly on the
2 mile scale, as shown by the quantity distributed of the sheets compiled from Forest
Resources Inventory information. The decrease in distribution of our District, island
and miscellaneous maps is caused by several of our District map sheets being out
of print, and new maps with additional information being prepared.

The following list shows the quantity distributed during the past year. The
trend of distribution over a fourteen year period is shown on the attached chart.

National Topographic Series

The National Topographic Series maps distributed this year again showed an
increase over the previous years. Of the total number of sheets obtained, 5,101 were
supplied without charge by the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, Ottawa,
for the official use of this Department, including the various administrative district
offices; 11.288 map sheets were purchased, of which approximately 1,800 were dis-
tributed without charge for official use.

The Department of Travel and Publicity were supplied with 379 map sheets
for free distribution for tourist publicity purposes. Approximately 27% of the total
sheets are distributed without charge.

Provincial Maps

The total distribution of Provincial maps shows a slight decrease this year.
This was caused, no doubt, by the fact that Maps 24B, 25A, and 25B, and 32C,
were out of print. Map No. 20A shows an increase, due to the educational program
instituted in the schools on map reading.

Provincial maps distributed over the counter for official Departmental use
of this and other Departments amounted to some 1,000 copies. This figure does not
include those used by Administrative District Offices. The Department of Travel
and Publicity obtained 43 district maps for tourist publicity purposes.

Public Requests for Maps and Survey Records

Counter Sales 3,442

Sales by Invoice 1,143

The total revenue collected for maps and reproduction of survey records was
as follows:

Page 131 Division of Surveys and Engineering

Over the Counter $ 2,668.34

By Mail $ 9,531.78

$12,200.12

The reduction during the past year in the number of invoices issued is due
to, (1) the consolidation of a number of requests from the same customer to one
invoice; (2) The Registrar General's Branch withdrawing their photostat work:
(3) The elimination of invoicing by requesting the public to forward their remittance
in advance with their request, when possible.

Photost.ating

46.725 square feet of photostatic paper was used for the reproduction of
documents and records for this and other Departments.

105 of the oldest original survey field note books, totalling 4,187 pages, and
ranging from 100 to 150 years old, were reproduced photographically to approximately
twice the size. These are to be used for reference and copying purposes to eliminate
the handling of these very old and valuable records.

Printing and Tr.ansparent Linen Reproductions

Almost 60.000 square feet of sensitized paper, opaque linen and transparent
linen, was used for the reproductions of survey plans as follows:

Transparent Linen 1,713 square feet

Opaque Linen 438 square feet

OCE and Blue printing (for public use) 28,318 square feet

OCE and Blue printing (for official use) 29.042 square feet

Total 59,511 square feet

Approximately half of the square footage used this year was for the ofl'icial
use of this Department, the other being used for resale to the public and other
Departments of the Government. The use of transparent linen reproductions to
eliminate hand drawn copies of survey plans for filing in Land Titles and Registry
Offices, was doubled over that used last year.

Book Binding

The work of repairing and rebinding the original survey field notes and other
survey records was carried on throughout the year. In addition. 127 municipal
survey field note books and 50 of the photostatic copies of the oldest original Crown
Survey field note books were bound.

Microfilming

The microfilming of rolled survey plans was undertaken this year, and
approximately half of the total number of plans on record were done. The number
of plans completed was 3,027. which amounted to 11.548 e.xposures (negatives);
20 rolls of positive film were made of miscellaneous notes, plans, etc.. amounting to
2,000 e.xposures (positive).

A new and cheap methofl of obtaining reduced small scale prints from the
Forest Resources Inventory planimetric ba.se maps was tried this year by microfilming
for the use of the Geographic staff, for compiling the manuscripts for the new issue
of Map 24B. This consisted of microfilming 362 of the base maps from which enlarged

prints were made to the scale of 3.95 miles to the inch. Only the main topographical
features required were inked over and traced directly on to the manuscript.

Map Mounting and Preservation

114 original township survey plans were treated with a cellulose wash finish
to preserve and protect the surface. During the year, 106 maps or plans were mounted
in various ways. These included original survey plans for this Section and new survey
plans for the Patents, Land Titles and Registry Offices.

Survey Records

4,800 rolled survey plans were cleaned and given a new filing number, and
transferred from the old pigeon hole filing system to new steel drawer filing cabinets.
This included some 750 original Railway Right of Way plans, transferred from the
Department of Public Works.

The handling of original survey records plans and field notes continued to be
a major item through the year due to the extensive activity in highway, hydro, summer
resort and other phases of survey work.

Field Survey Party Equipment and Supply

The equipping and supplying of 4 field survey parties for Crown summer
resort work in the Muskoka and Parry Sound Districts, and for survey inspection
work, was taken care of during the year. Major field survey party equipment purchased
during the year included a new International panel truck which was outfitted as a
mobile survey unit. A boat trailer for use with the truck was constructed, and a
16-foot outboard boat was built by the staff of one of the Districts for our use. A
quantity of 1" and y^" iron survey bars, and preliminary survey summer resort
location tags were purchased and distributed amongst the various District Offices, where
they will be required for the coming summer's survey program.

The new larger storage space, consisting of approximately 1,000 square feet in
a building built for the use of this Division, and the Division of Research, was
completed by the Department of Public Works on this Department's Southern
Experimental Station property at Maple, for the storage of survey equipment and
supplies. The part occupied is the centre section of a prefabricated "Quonset'' hut
which was divided into 2 floors, and the walls insulated. The second floor is con-
structed on pillars, and is entirely free from the walls, as no weight can be attached
to the laminated ribs of the hut itself. The building is heated by steam, with a blower
system from an oil burning furnace. This also provides additional storage space for
duplicate and other survey records not in constant use.

Provincial Air Photographic Library

Approximately 1.000 photograi)hs covering points in Southern Ontario, from
photograph}- made by our Aerial Surveys Section, with a few key maps, were prepared
by the Aerial Surveys Section for the Provincial Air Photographic Library this year.
In this connection also, the Forest Resources Inventory Section of the Division of
Timber Management o!)taine(l and stored a number of prints of their planimctric base
maps ready for the keying of the photograjihs.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 134

AERIAL SURVEYS SECTION

The process of "unsharp masking" has been developed in co-operation with
the University of Toronto and the Research Council of Ontario. It is a method of
printing aerial photographs, in which the "dodging", or variation of light intensity
behind various sections of the negative (which is usually carried out by the use of
a large number of small individually controlled lights) is accomplished by using a
fuzzy diapositive. This is made from the negative itself and fastened in register
behind it. Thus, the dense portions of the negative receive proportionately more light
than the thin; at the same time, the contrast between images of contiguous fine detail
points is preserved. At present this method is in use in this Department for special
prints where the ultimate in detail perception is required. The Hydro-Electric Power
Commission has requested that all their enlargements and contact prints for mosaics
and contouring, be unsharp masked.

During the past fiscal year the vertical photography carried out by the
Aerial Surveys Section totalled 3.471 square miles.

Of this total. 656 square miles were for our own Department and 2,815 square
miles were for other Government Departments. A table showing a breakdown of these
figures is submitted herewith.

During this same period the expenditure was $50,698.18 and the revenue

$33,479.54.

FOREST RESOURCES INVENTORY

The contract for photography and mapping of the Photographic Survey
Corporation was completed during the year and the contract terminated in accordance
with its terms and conditions on March 31st, 1951.

During the year 5,062 square miles of photography was added to the area
photographed under contract making a total area for the contract 127,472 square
miles. The area originally estimated to be photographed and mapped under contract
was 125,000 square miles. An area of 1,502 square miles was photographed by the
Department during the current year making a total of 27,203 square miles photo-
graphed by the Department under the inventory program.

The mapping program for the year was made up of 32,982 square miles under
contract and an additional area of 1,900 square miles mapped by the Department
making a total area of 34,882 square miles mapped during the year on the inventory
program.

Field sampling was completed on an area of 18,440 square miles making a
total area completed to date of 54,560 square miles.

Three interim reports were prepared during the year giving timber volume
summaries by Districts as follows:

1. North Bay District issued October, 1950

2. Timiskaming District issued February, 1951

3. Cochrane District issued February, 1951

MANAGEMENT PLANS AND CONTROL

Seventy companies have been requested to furnish forest inventories and
master plans on their licences and agreement areas, covering approximately 75,000

square miles. Reports have already been received covering forest inventories on
25,000 square miles and master plans on 20.000 square miles.

Early in 1950, the Minister approved of the Management Plan of the Petawawa
Management Unit. Operations under the plan commenced during the following logging
season and the co-operating companies have since demonstrated their ability to work
under regulations which provide for the protection and development of future crops
on the same area on a comparatively short cutting cycle.

In general the control of cutting operations has advanced in line with the
increase of timber management staff in the Districts. Standardization of procedures
in connection with the submission of annual cutting applications, the District
Forester's reports on timber sale applications and the reports of inspectors and scalers
have immensely facilitated the handling of these matters in the Department. The
monthly reports dealing with cutting operations with their constant check on each
logging camp have exerted a great influence and improvement in cutting practices.

TIMBER SALES 1950-51

Details of the 56 new sales of timber made during the season indicate that
187.25 square miles of timber limits were sold.

During the season, 78 timber licences comprising 395.50 square miles, were
abandoned.

The status of the timber licensed areas in Ontario as at March 31st, 1951, was
therefore as follows:
