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 officers 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 Algonquin Park Naturalist Program.
Despite its similarity to programs in national and state parks in the LTnited 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 University 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, where 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 incentive in bringing people to Algonquin Park rather
than to one of the many other places where outdoor recreation is available.
BEAR BOUNTY 1949-1950
Under The Wolf and Bear Bounty Act. 1946, a §10.00 bounty is paid on any
hear 1 2 months of age or over, and a S5.00 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' '< 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. 11 claims representing 11 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
applicable. Table Xu ,

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 wrere 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 Lrood 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 $5.00 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 $5.00 to SI 5.00. 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% of the
bounty with the remaining 60 rc being paid by the respective county.
Table No. 3
The following tabulation shows the annual wolf bounty statistics for a period
of five years:

During the 25-year-period from 1925 to March 31st. 1950. the Province has
expended 51.183.464.00 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.

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.
Table No. 11
Details of the officers who were responsible for these seizures are as follows, viz: —
Conservation Officers 2,315 cases
Provincial Police Constables 12 cases
Deputy Game Wardens 9 cases

In 166 of these cases the seizures were made from unknown persons, principally
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 the articles. The equipment seized in these cases was confiscated to the
Crown. Table Xo. 12

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

( .1 NERAL
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 persons from
whom seizures were made were given an opportunity to redeem the articles seized upon
payment of a specified fee fixed by the Department. This arrangement applies prin-
cipally to firearms and fishing 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 Nipissing, 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 Fisb 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. Many 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,
Victoria, 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:

COMMERCIAL 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 $5,496,836.88. The
1949 production is an increase of 5,119,570 lbs. or 17.7$ over the yield of 1948.
This 1949 production was the highest since 1945 when the catch reached 34*4
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' ,■( 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 increase 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 pounds 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.

DIVISION OF FOREST PROTECTION
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 May 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.

The Toronto radio station located at the Southern Research Experimental
Station near Maple, and installed early in the 1949 season provides direct radio tele-
graph communication to field offices and radio telephone communication with aircraft
in flight. Teletype service between the Toronto radio station and main office was
installed late in 1949 to provide a more direct contact with field offices.

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 Uses
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. VI. 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 requirements.
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. Xorth 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. Mr. 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 Motor
Fleet Supervisory Training Course and the Third Annual Motor Vehicle Maintenance
Course, both 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.
Plans 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 wger School
The Ontario Forest Ranger School has continued to provide instruction for
Departmental personnel, the nominees of the Forest Industries of Ontario student
groups from the University of Toronto, and. as well, to provide fXcHities iter occasional
courses given to outside groups. During this fiscal year. 45 student from the various
Districts attended the Ranger School, and 41 of them complfctjetljire courses success
fully and qualified for the diploma.
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 equipment 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
quality 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 flashes 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 was 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 Multilith 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 multilith. the copy is typed directly on
to a paper plate and 987 of these were prepared by the Yari-tvper Operator. For long
Report of the Department oi Lands 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 Space 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 Foresters1 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:
Report of the Royal Commission on Forest Reservation and National Park,
1893.
Sylva, Volume 6-1 Sylva, Volume 5-5 Sylva, Volume 5-3

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 Xews 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 intensive
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 ;iThen 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 municipalities
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.
8. Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company
A similar agreement to the one with International Nickel Company is made
each year with Roddis Lumber and Veneer Company in connection with a block of
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.
12. Forest Inventory
The Forest Resources Inventory base maps are supplied to pulp and paper
and lumber companies in the province at the cost of the printing only, the cost of
preparation being paid wholly by the province. Aerial photographic prints are
supplied at a cost of $1.00 per print. The main cost of the photography is borne by
the province.

13. Fisheries Regulations for the Province of Ontario
The Federal Government of Canada provides regulations under the Fisheries
Act of Canada relating to both game and commercial fishing 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.M.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 United 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.

Suggestion 201
(Forest Protection]
H.Taylor, Re: Hand Fire Pump Accessory
Quinte 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
possibility 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.

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 $5.00 is recommended.
Suggestion 203
(Forest Protection)
E. Guertin Re: Revision of Form F.P. 25 By Plotting Loca-
Sioux Lookout TION 0F 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 $5.00 is
recommended for the merit of the suggestion.
Suggestion 206
(Forest Protection)
H. S. Hutnick Re: Directional Line Method of Locating Fires
Air Service by Ground Crews from Aircraft
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 Existing Radio Communication
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 Packboard
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 $25.00 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 $5.00 is recommended.
Re: Temporary 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: Coil 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 $25.00 is recommended.
Re: Tractor 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 SI 0.00 is recommended.
Re: Jackmitf. Pump and Hosf. 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: Tower Set Battery El iminator
This suggestion is not considered original in design,
but it is original from a standpoint of application. It
has limited application in our service, hut will Ik? use-
ful at some m\ 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-exhausted 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
ifs patrol by radio, to fly 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 the
hospital at Kapuskasing.

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, Kemptvillc Nursery.

Division 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 SI 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.

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 lacking 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 Maple, and regional research officers. 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.
Page 125 Division of Research
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, Manitoulin 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 130,000 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 predictions of catch can be
made for one or two years in advance, based 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 University of Toronto and
the Department, centering at the laboratory at Opeongo Lake. Brief accounts of
the main projects follow:
Creel 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 oxygen 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. Fowie.
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 sevrral
promising leads are being followed.
Studies of the ruffed grouse, 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 relationships 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 Province 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

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1950 Page 130
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 Researc b
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 Xipigon 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: Although 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 Valley 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 Xeedle 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 tin- 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. I'rebble 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 territory.
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.
SURVEYS
AND ENGINEERING
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 surveys 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.

Private 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 March
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 Gogama was completed and the plans of subdivision registered
in the Land Titles Office for the District of Sudbury.

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

Inventory 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 Transparent Linen Reproductions
The use of paper, opaque linen and transparent linen reproductions of survey

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 rebinding the original survey held notes and other
volumes was continued during the year. The repairing and recovering of the original
crown survey field note books 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 mobile 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.

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 73,699T2 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 14,770 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.
