Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 14
DIVISION OF AIR SERVICE
General
The fiscal period 1950-51 presented one of the lowest fire hazards in many
years. Rainfall occurred at most opportune times and in sufficient quantities to hold
the hazard to a point that might be considered as below normal. In addition to this we
were operating more aircraft of the Beaver type, and the fact that these aircraft can
operate from smaller bodies of water than any type which we have ever used in the
past, made it possible to reach and extinguish incipient fires that might easily have
reached the out-of-control stage under other circumstances. Again I feel that I must
give credit to this particular aeroplane as an instrument through which we were able
to hold our fire losses below- the average occurring in preceding years.
The Service also undertook additional activities in the field of research and
experimentation. We co-operated during the period, as well as in the preceding year,
with the National Research Council in attempting to develop a type of ski that, it
was hoped, would meet average Canadian conditions. Considerable flying was done
out of Sudbury, Gogama, and Chapleau to test the relative qualities of these skis in
comparison with the various types which we had been using, and a great deal of
valuable information was gathered. In addition, we carried out further experiments
with a radar landing device, designed primarily to assist in glassy water landings, and
we now have quite a wealth of data on this subject. Considerable interest has been
shown in this particular device by the Royal Canadian Air Force and Trans-Canada
Air Lines. These experiments will be continued until we feel that the device has been
perfected. We also undertook experiments to determine the possibility of water
bombing from the air. The initial experiments w'ere carried out with pai^er bags that
resemble, in many respects, that used for bagging cement, and although this particular
device has some disadvantages, I feel that it was proven, quite conclusively, that this
method of attacking small fires does hold possibilities. In the period covered, we
actually did hold fires from spreading until the ground crews were able to reach them.
The requirements of all Divisions of this Department were met and we also did
considerable flying for the Department of Mines, Department of Provincial Police,
Departments of Health, Highways, and so forth as well as according a measure of
co-operation to the Federal Department of Indian Affairs, with whom we work very
closely in the control and establishment of registered trap lines.
Emergency flights were carried out as required and it is gratifying to know
that a very humanitarian service was rendered on many occasions.
Normal amiable relations were maintained with the Department of Transport
and with the Air Transport Board.
During the period covered the Department subscribed to membership in the
Air Industries and Transport Association of Canada. This Association was formed
for the purpose of co-ordinating the activities of all those dealing in aircraft, and
includes the engine manufacturer, the airframe manufacturer, manufacturers of all
accessories and the operators themselves. The Body also deals with the Department
of Transport and the Air Transport Board in recommending suitable legislation to
control the activities of the Industry.
Page 15 Division of Air Service
New Construction and Expansion
During the period no new construction was undertaken, although we are in
need of several new additions and hope that they may be completed at an early date.
These involve two cottages at Kenora, two cottages and a workshop at Lauzon Lake,
two cottages at Sioux Lookout, and two cottages and a workshop north of White River
at Tutney Lake. It has been difficult for the Department of Public Works to get
satisfactory prices on these projects and we think this is the main reason for their
construction having been deferred. There are still a few odds and ends to be completed
in the new Hangar building itself, but a contract has been let which I believe will
accomplish this end. Xo new bases were opened during the period covered in this
report.
Equipment
During the period six new Beaver aircraft were purchased from the De Havil-
land Company of Canada. Some of these were put into service immediately, while
others acted as spares and were utilized as it became necessary to do so. It was also
decided to reduce our Norseman fleet, and to this end three Mark VFs and three
Mark \'"s were sold. To replace these an order for six new Beavers was placed with the
De Havilland Company for delivery in the spring of 1951.
Winter Operations
Winter operations as conducted during the previous winter were continued
in the winter of 1950-51. Beaver aircraft were operated from Toronto, Algonquin
Park, Sudbury, Sault Ste. Marie, Gogama, Chapleau. Geraldton. Port Arthur, Eva
Lake; and two Norseman were again operated from Sioux Lookout. A special deer
census was undertaken in the vicinity of Kenora and Fort Frances to provide informa-
tion on which legislation for this area can be formulated. Other winter flying included
supervision and enforcement of Fish and Wildlife activities, supervision of timber and
logging operations, transportation of scalers, selection of tower sites, transportation of
Departmental officials, and such emergency flights as were required.

Maintenanxe of Service Buildings
Normal maintenance of all Service property was carried out as usual. Painting
and normal repairs were undertaken where necessary- in order to keep our property
up to proper standards.
Accidents
I regret to report the worst accident in the history of the Service. On August
30. 1950. we lost Norseman CF-OBH about twelve miles south of Temagami, and in
the accident five people were burned to death. We also lost one Beaver aircraft about
six miles from Temagami. but fortunately no one was hurt. We believe this latter
accident to have been caused by a fuel pump failure.

DIVISION OF FISH AND WILDLIFE
WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT
General
A close season was established on moose throughout the Province, leaving
deer and bear the only widely distributed big-game animals open. In view of the
finding of a thorough investigation by Dr. A. A. Kingscote, of the Ontario Veterinary
College, that an increase in elk would prejudice the health of wild and domestic
animals, permits to shoot elk were issued free to holders of deer licences. Very few
were killed.
Upland game birds are generally numerous, but the first signs of cyclical dying-
off of ruffed grouse appeared in a few scattered areas. The European hare, which
has been scarce, is now increasing.
Fur-bearing animals increased, with the exception of lynx. The beaver popula-
tion is very high, and territories depopulated by disease are recovering. Nevertheless,
beaver disease still exists in scattered areas. We are indebted to Dr. N. A. LabzofYsky
of the Ontario Department of Health, working with Dr. J. F. A. Sprent, of the
Ontario Research Foundation, for the identification of the disease as a form of
Tularemia. The same disease was also identified in muskrats in southern Ontario.
The prevention of die-outs depends on adequate harvesting and prevention of over-
population.

Trap-Line Management
Trap-line licences were issued to the number of 4.883, of which 3.330 were to
Treaty Indians.
Trap-line management in northern Ontario was greatly advanced by an agree-
ment with the Dominion Department of Citizenship and Immigration covering the
expenditure of $150,000.00 per year for ten years on Wildlife Management as related
to Indians. Half of this sum is provided by the Dominion being new funds over and
above those customarily spent by the Department in Indian areas. This has made
possible the establishment of a special group of sub-technical personnel known as
Wildlife Management Officers. As of the end of the fiscal year there were twelve of
these men in the field, of whom six were operating north of the northernmost railway
line.
Co-operation with Wildlife Management Institute
The co-operative program of pheasant studies on Pelee Island was concluded.
Restocking
A total of 70,455 pheasants were distributed during the season. Of these
43.250 were poults and adult birds released soon after distribution by gentle release,
and 27.205 were chicks which were reared and released by recipients, with a gratify-
ingly high degree of success.
A few Hungarian partridge were moved from Rideau District to Quinte District,
and a few Pinnated grouse were released in Quinte District. These latter restocking
movements are as yet insignificant, but as techniques improve they can be expanded.
Fur Farming
The market for ranch-raised mink pelts continued its rising trend from the
fall of 1949, through 1950. The strong demand at good prices was due to the fact
that there was no backlog or carry-over of pelts from the previous year, coupled with
the fear of a shortage due to the stoppage of Russian furs from entering the North
American market. These conditions were welcomed by ranchers who had experienced
poor markets for the past three years.
Standard mink brought remarkably good prices as did Pastel, Aleutian and all
phases of Silverblu in the mutation class. The anticipated increase in production of
Pastels materialized and is now competing with wild mink for the supreme position
in the mink market.
There were indications throughout the year that the silver fox market was
coming back as renewed interest was shown again in long-haired furs. Standard silver
and the mutation foxes were in good demand and prices increased to the point where
ranchers can maintain the nucleus of their breeding stock without loss. With the
drastic cut in production and the s])irited promotional program that is in existence,
it is anticipated that the fox market will show steady improvement.
Despite the good mink market, the higli rate of employment at intlationary
wages in other industries, due principally to the international situation, enticed a
number of smaller ranchers to seek employment elsewhere and discontinue fur
farming. This resulted in a net decrease of 319 ranches, as compared to the
Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951
Page 26
previous year. A total of 1,078 Fur Farmers Licences were issued during the calendar
year. 991 renewals of previous licences, 72 for newly established ranches and 15
licences were issued with retroactive provisions, to legalize the operation of ranches
during the previous year.

During the period covered by this report, 1,438 claims for bounty were con-
sidered. Seven claims representing 8 wolves were refused, due to the illegal use of
snares or the whole pelt not being produced. Ten other claims were refused because
the pelts submitted were found to be fox or dog pelts.
The hunting of wolves from aircraft was authorized during the previous winter
season. This type of hunting is proving to be not only interesting and profitable to
resident and non-resident sportsmen, but an effective means of taking wolves.
Hereunder is a computation of the bounty paid in counties and districts.

Bear Bounty 1950-51
Under authority of The Wolf and Bear Bounty Act, the Department pays a
$10.00 bounty on any bear 12 months of age or over and a $5.00 bounty on any
bear cub under 12 months of age. which has been killed between April 15th and
November 30th. in a township of which 25% of the total area is devoted to agricul-
ture and which is located in one of the counties or districts described in the Regula-
tions. The Act further specifies that the bear must be killed in defence or preservation
of livestock or property, by a bona fide resident of the township.
The following table shows the number of bears killed and the amount of bounty
paid during the past five years, including the year covered by this report:

It is interesting to note the great lluctuation in tht- number of bears and cubs
killed in the last three years.
The Department considered 375 claims for bounty on 453 bears and 47 cubs.
However. 10 claims involving 12 bears were refused for failure to comply with the
provisions of the Act.
The following table indicates the number of l)ears and cul)s killed in each of
the counties and di.s^ricts. on which applications for bounty were submitted. However,

Hatcheries and Rearing Stations
Excellent results have been obtained in the culture and distribution of the
various species of commercial and game fish from 26 provincial hatcheries, which were
in operation this year. Dorion Trout Rearing Station which was closed for some time
for renovation purposes is now in full scale operation. Following the procedure to
renovate at least one hatchery annually, the Hill Lake Trout Rearing Station near
Englehart is closed at present for extensive alterations. When completed, this station
will be on a par with the Dorion Trout Rearing Station which is considered one of
the most efficient of its kind on the continent.
After a lapse of two years, during which time it was under repairs, the Pem-
broke Trout Rearing Station was again in full operation, supplying fish to the
Renfrew-Xipissing areas.
Of particular interest is the rearing of maskinonge at the Deer Lake Hatchery.
It is necessary to feed live food to the young fry and fingerlings; this presents quite
a problem at times. The Department now obtains sucker eggs from spawn-taking
operations conducted at several locations. These sucker eggs are hatched, and fed as
fry. to the voracious maskinonge fingerlings. as required. Each year upwards of
10.000,000 sucker eggs are needed to satisfy the demands.
A new station, Westport Bass Ponds, has now been completed and will be in
full production by next year. An extensive experimental fish feeding program
will be conducted here to raise bass to larger size before release.
Biological Projects
The biological studies and projects undertaken during the year, consisted of
the following: — bass harvesting, sea lamprey control, coarse fish remov^al, creel census
studies, fish tagging, and biological surveys of lakes and streams.
Sea Lamprey Control
Operations for the control of sea lamprey were continued. A number of weirs
and traps were set in selected streams flowing into the Xorth Channel, Lake Huron
and Lake Superior. Many other locations are being studied to determine their suita-
bility for lamprey control operations.
Removal of Coarse Fish
Nets were operated for the removal of undesirable fish, such as carp and ling,
from the following lakes: Black. Bobs, Crow, Hamilton Bay, Lower Rideau, Manitou,
Nonquon River, Otter, Pike, Scugog, Sturgeon, and Wolfe.
Creel Census Studies
Some creel census studies were conducted on a number of waters to determine
the proportion of hatchery-reared trout in the angler's catch. This project included
waters in the districts of Thunder Bay and Algoma. and in the counties of Bruce,
Grey, Peterborough and Haliburton.
Fish Tagging
The program, initiated two years ago, of tagging smallmouth bass in
Georgian Bay, was continued and 250 additional smallmouth bass were tagged.
Biological Surveys
Some long-term projects are being conducted on several waters to determine
the relationship of commercial fishing to angling. These include Long Point Bay and

Rondeau Bay on Lake Erie; Mitchell Bay on Lake St. Clair; Bay of Quinte on Lake
Ontario; and Lake Simcoe.
One hundred and five parent pickerel were planted in Three Mile Lake on
Parry Island Indian Reservation for study.
Investigations of a biological nature were made on a number of lakes and
streams, with a view to the establishment of a sound fish-management plan. These
were either initial surv^eys or extensions of previous ones. The waters studied were

com:\iercial fishing section
Commercial fishing licences issued in 1950 for Ontario waters totalled 2,722.
They may be sub-divided into two classes — those issued for taking commercial fish
primarily sold for food, and commercial minnow licences for taking bait fishes.
The number of minnow licences totalled 866, an increase of 156 over the previous
year. Of the 1,856 commercial fishing licences issued for use in taking marketable
fish, gill nets comprised over one-half, with 1.021; hoop nets totalled 267; pound and
trap nets 185; seines 169: baited hook licences 142; and other types which include
dip nets, power dip nets and trolling licences totalled 72.
The gill net continued to be the most important type of fishing equipment in
the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes with the exception of Lake St. Clair where
its use is prohibited. In northern inland lakes gill nets are employed in taking both
scaled fish and sturgeon. Use of gill nets through the ice in winter fishing is an
important aspect of the industry in many of the northern lakes. In southern inland
waters the use of gill nets is restricted entirely to the removal of carp.
Pound nets are still the second most favoured gear in Lake Erie. Lake Huron,
Lake Superior and some northern Ontario waters, but the use of trap nets, which in
some areas of Lake Erie and Lake Huron are more favoured by the fisherman, is
rapidly growing in importance and may largely replace pound nets in the future.
Hoop nets are used extensively in the more shallow waters of Lake Ontario's
Bay of Quinte area and in southern inland waters as well as in Lake of the Woods,
where they take important catches of both coarse and commercial species.
Seine nets are used throughout Ontario, in shallow waters where soft bottoms
are found, for taking coarse fish, especially carp, suckers and catfish.
Baited hooks are important in northern rivers and lakes. Lake St. Clair, the
Niagara River and the St. Lawrence River for taking sturgeon; in Georgian Bay
for taking lake trout, and in manv southern waters for catching catfish, eels or coarse
fish.
Dip nets are used largely for coarse fish throughout the Province and a few
trolling lines take trout and other species.
Minnows are taken commercially by dip nets, seine nets, and by wire traps.
An increased number of minnow licences in 1950 reflects the increasing demand for
live bait and the response of this part of the Industry to the anglers' and tourists'
needs.
The sea lamprey, which is trapped by the Department to assist in protecting
the fish resources from this destructive parasitic animal, was experimentally com-
mercialized in 1950. There appears to be some possibility that the lamprey may
become a part of the commercial catch and find a restricted market.
The total harvest of the commercial fishing industry for the year ending
December 31, 1950, was 32,755.813 lbs. of fish with a landed value of just over
byi million dollars ($6,252,046.51). Although there was a decrease from 1949 of
1,305,448 lbs. or 3.8%, in the total landed catch the total value increased by
$755,209.63 or 14.1%. Both increase in value of the fish and larger catches of some
more valuable species were factors resulting in the higher value. The industry was
at the same time faced by increased costs of gear and labour.
Page 37 Division of Fish and Wildlife
An important characteristic of the commercial fishery is the fluctuation in the
total catch of many species. The most significant example is the production of blue
pickerel in Lake Erie, which dropped from a four year high in 1949, by 1,165,549 lbs.
or 11.8/c in 1950. This downward trend will probably continue for at least another
year in Lake Erie. A decrease of 564.940 lbs. of herring was due to a poor production
in Lake Superior during the fall fishing. The net decrease of nearly >4 -million pounds
of whitefish can be attributed largely to a decrease in the Lake Erie production, of
1,229.967 lbs. or 33.9' r. The production of whitefish in Lake Huron. Georgian Bay,
and the North Channel showed a significant increase over 1949. continuing a trend
noted in the previous year, and doing much to place this fishery in a more favourable
economic position.
Lake trout production showed a considerable increase of 151.707 lbs. due
largely to larger catches in northern inland lakes and in Lake Superior, and to minor
increases in the North Channel, and Lake Huron. The Lake Huron production rose
from 3.207 in 1949 to 10.601 lbs. in 1950. an insignificant amount as compared to
the 1936 production of over two million pounds but nevertheless representing a
favourable trend.
The production of Goldeyes showed a very significant increase of 34,268 lbs.
to a total of 84,068 lbs. This increase resulted from a greater fishing pressure in a
few of the lakes in the far north-western part of the Province and the total production
of this Canadian fish delicacy has risen from 2S.232 lbs. in 1948 and 49,800 lbs. in
1949 to over 84.000 lbs. in r950.
Yellow pickerel and saugers increased in production, largely in Lake Erie and
somewhat offset the reduction in blue pickerel yields.
The production of carp, and of coarse fish both increased and. although the
money returns per pound of fish are small, these fishes form an important part of the
fishery. Some species such as ling are frequently unable to be marketed but their
annual removal as a weed crop is considered desirable in the management of the
fishery.
The body of water showing the most important increase in production was
Georgian Bay, where the harvest of commercial fish nearly doubled, from 1,563,404
lbs. in 1949 to 2.794.118 lbs. in 1950. due largely to increased catches of whitefish
(over a million pounds) as well as herring and tullibee.
In Lake Ontario 213.400 lbs. more commercial .species were harvested than
in 1949. As also in Georgian Bay. whitefish showed the most important change over
1949 with a production of 418,929 in 1950 as compared to 218,564 in the previous
year.
An increase of 118.237 lbs. in production in the waters of the North Channel
was also due largely to improved whitefish production.
The number of men employed in the industry was slightly reduced, while the
amounts of gear remained relatively the same. The slight decrease noted in gill net
yardage was offset by the increased number of pound nets in use.
Total value of equipment was $690,726 higher in 1950 than in 1949. Higher
costs of replacing fishing gear and of new equipment has increased the value placed
upon nets and boats, as well as upon shore installations in the industry.

DEVELOPMENTS IX THE INDUSTRY
Trap Nets
In Lake Erie the long established pound net fishery is gradually being replaced
by trap nets. After a year of experimentation, in which one trap net was allowed to
be used in lieu of one pound net per fisher\\ it was concluded that the new type of
net was a more economic method of taking fish. Authority was provided to use
three trap nets per fishery and later in the year to replace each pound net by one
trap net.
Most of the pound net fisheries were occupied during 1950 in gradually con-
verting to the use of trap nets. Trap nets are favoured in many fisheries because they
do not require to be anchored by stakes which are expensive and difficult to procure
in the prop>er lengths. The new nets can be set earlier in the season while market
prices are apt to be better. Stormy weather which would prevent setting of pound

nets is less apt to interfere with trap net activities. Although the trap net is smaller
than the usual Lake Erie pound net, and therefore required less of the expensive
twine in its construction, it is believed that in many locations it is more efficient in
taking fish. The comparative mobility of the trap net is also an important factor in
its favour.
Coarse Fish Removal
Experiments involving coarse fish and whitefish removal by commercial
fishermen in waters which had been reserved for angling continued during the year.
Closer co-operation between Anglers' and Hunters' organizations and commer-
cial fishermen has been achieved to the betterment of both groups.
Applications of biological studies concerning fish populations, which are aimed
at harvesting all species of fish were a feature of the 1950 fishing efforts.
Georgian Bay
The investigation of small mesh 'chub" gill nets and of baited hook trout
fishing in Georgian Bay was continued during the summer of 1950. The effect of these
types of fishing upon populations of young lake trout was a matter of deep concern
both to the fishermen and to the Department.
It was shown that when small mesh net is not set at proper depths that it may
become a menace to small lake trout. Further study of the situation is required before
many of the problems in this regard can be solved.
Nylon
The use of nylon as a gill net textile continued to spread among the industry
in 1950. In Lake Erie practically all of the netting used is nylon, and cotton side lines
are slowly being replaced by the newer material which is not destroyed or weakened
b}' fungus attack.
Throughout all the industry in Ontario nylon nets are replacing the older
textiles as new nets are brought to replace worn out ones.
ENFORCEMENT
Some two hundred conservation officers patrol the province to enforce the
Game and Fisheries Act, the Special Fisheries Regulations and the Migratory Birds
Convention Act. They are under the direct control of the District Foresters in their
respective areas, and receive valuable assistance from the Ontario Provincial Police,
Royal Canadian Mounted Police and deputy game wardens appointed from interested
sportsmen.
The statistical details which follow show the results from their activities.
Seizures
During the annual period April 1, 1950, to March 31, 1951, there was a total
of 2,619 cases in which equipment was seized for infractions of legislation and
regulations.

Charges were laid in a total of 2.930 cases for infractions of the legislation and
regulations. In 2.728 cases convictions were registered. Charges were dismissed in 116
cases. Charges were withdrawn in 86 cases for various reasons, such as where two or
more charges were originally laid against an individual or for lack of evidence when
investigation completed.
GENERAL
The Game and Fisheries Act provides that articles "used in violation of this
Act and found in the possession of any person suspected of having committed an offence
against this Act shall be seized, and upon conviction, be forfeited to and become the
property of the Crown in the right of Ontario and sold by the Department."
In cases of violations of a minor nature the persons from whom seizures were
made are given the opportunity, on application, to redeem the articles seized upon
payment of a fee fixed by the Department. This arrangement applies principally to
firearms and fishing tackle. The amount realized from such sales amounted to
$7,899.70.
In cases which are sufficiently serious to warrant confiscation to the Crown,
such articles are disposed of in annual public sales.
Three such sales were conducted by the Department during the period under
review, as follows:
April fishing tackle sale $1,072.82
April fur sale, confiscated furs 4,554.73
September sale of firearms and miscellaneous equipment 4,123.11
Total $9,750.66
Fines collected during the fiscal year amounted to S46,442.41.
Conservation officers assisted in distribution of fish and pheasants. They also
devoted considerable time, working with organized groups in the interest of
conservation.

DIVISION OF FOREST PROTECTION
FIRE AND HAZARD CONDITIONS
A study of fire statistics shows that the months of May, June and August were
the most hazardous periods. Early Spring fires during May represent almost half the
total number for the entire season and by far the greatest percentage of the acreage
burned over resulted from fires which occurred during that period.
Smokers. Campers. Settlers and Railways were the four main fire causes
although the largest burned-over area resulted from Industrial clearing fires getting
out of control especially on power line development. Only 9 of the 985 fires which
occurred reached an area larger than 500 acres. The greater number were extinguished
while comparatively small.
Apart from the 1939 fire season Ontario's fire losses were less in 1950 than at
any time since 1930.
The area under Protection in 1950 was 173,000 square miles.

FIRE CONTROL PLANNING
District fire protection plans were further developed and brought up to date.
A total of six hundred men working in forested areas were given brief courses of
instruction in fire prevention and suppression. Several new developments in forest
protection methods and techniques were applied, chiefly on an experimental basis.
1. The use of helicopters in fire fighting and experimentation on pumping water
direct from an air borne helicopter on a fire.
2. Trials were conducted with a fire-line-building plow designed for such use by the
Michigan State Forest Service.
Page 45
Division of Forest Protection
3. Experiments and actual application of aerial water bombing of fires from low-flying
Beaver aircraft were carried out.
4. Fire report form was revised to improve recorded data.
5. Spark arresters were tried out on Railway-van stove pipes to help reduce number
of fires caused by Railway operation.
6. A pilot model 200 gallon tank-pumper mounted on 4 wheel drive vehicle suited
to fire fighting requirements was constructed and placed in service.
7. Polaroid type cameras were supplied aircraft for purpose of obtaining immediate
photographic record of forest fires for control purposes.
8. Preliminary plans were made with Dominion ^Meteorological Service for inter-
departmental exchange of weather data for forecast purposes.
9. Adaption and building of aluminum sheeted lookout tower cabins which will
provide additional years of service on lookout towers.
10. Erection of 35 eighty foot and 15 one hundred foot stee! lookout towers.
11. A small pack tractor which can be quickly dissembled for air transport has been
developed by the Research Division of this Department. This new unit shows promise
of becoming a useful piece of mechanical equipment for transporting equipment and
provisions to and from fires and in other work where bush packing is necessary.
Firefighting equipment must be checked and krp! iu 'jnod r,-pair at all times.

FOREST INSECT AXD DISEASE CONTROL
The Department of Lands and Forests again co-operated with the Dominion
Department of Agriculture in the study and control of forest insects and tree diseases.
RADIO COMMUNICATIONS
During the year 1950, the Department's radio communication system handled
a total of 34,758 messages comprising a total word count of 908,803.

Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 56
DIVISION OF LAND AND RECREATIONAL AREAS
General
During the fiscal year under review a large volume of work was concluded,
as is indicated in the tables forming part of this section. The tables do not accurately
reflect the amount of detail or ground work which is a necessary preliminary to
actual sale, location, cancellation, patent, etc. One form of land tenure which presents
a problem of considerable magnitude, because of the complex nature of the occupations,
is that which involves land use by persons having no legal rights. These people, in
some instances, represent a third or even a fourth generation of occupants, none of
whom, because they were unfamiliar with the requirements, have ever taken steps
to establish proper title. Every effort consistent with available properly trained staff
is being made to explain the situation to the individuals concerned by personal
contact and by correspondence, with a view to effecting alienation to private owner-
ship or properly recording the Crown as owner, whichever is indicated in the best
interests of the people and the Crown as a result of the investigations made.
Some changes in policy were made and amendments to The Public Lands Act
enacted to effect improved administration and land use. These changes were made
as a result of study of the effect of administrative practice obtaining previously,
and evidence indicates that very material benefit has for this reason accrued to the
public by their more proper occupation and use of Crown land, and also to the
Department.
Summer Resort Land
The number of sales made and patents issued increased, due primarily to
improved administrative procedure. The number of cancellations concluded decreased
largely for the same reason.
Agricultural and Allied L'ses
The number of dispositions of land for these purposes, by sale and free grant,
was less than the previous year, due probably to lack of interest because of con-

tinuing favourable economic conditions, making it possible for persons to secure
employment in industry at incomes far in excess of that which would be possible,
generally speaking, from farming in Northern Ontario. Cancellations decreased in
number over the previous year as a result, particularly, of less opportunity to do
inspection work because of demand on field staff to do other phases of departmental
work, including fire-fighting. An increase in the number of land use permits issued
is noted and is indicative of disclosure of land use (by persons previously unauthorized)
as a direct result of improved follow-up and inspection methods.
\'eterans" L.axd
The Ontario Dominion-Provincial Agreement (1946) made under The Veterans'
Land Act (Dominion), Section 35. 6, Geo. \T, 1942. continued to operate with the
full co-operation of this Department. A decrease in the number of transactions con-
cluded over the previous period is indicated by the graph appended hereto, for two
reasons primarily, namely — eligible veterans re-entering the Armed Services or securing,
for the time being, more lucrative employment in private industry and the trades.
Tourist Outfitters' Camps
The issuance of tourist outfitters' camp permits and licences, which comes
under the administration of this Division, was continued and the number issued
showed a substantial increase over the previous year.
Provincial Parks
There was no change in Provincial Parks. New regulations have, however, been
drafted, and when put into effect will improve administrative procedure.

REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENTAL SOLICITOR
(FORMERLY DIVISION OF LAW)
General
On January 1st, 1951, an administrative change was effected in the organiza-
tion of the Department with the dissolution of the Division of Law and the creation
of the office of Departmental Solicitor. This office is responsible for legal service to
Head Office administrative divisions and the regions, and the primary duties of the
office are concerned with legislation, regulations, orders-in-Council, Crown grants,
timber and other agreements — preparation, interpretation, application, examination
and checking thereof; arbitration of claims and disputes; consultation with and
advising Head Office administrative divisions and regional districts in legal matters
arising in the work of the Department; and attending upon the public, other govern-
ment departments and Crown organizations in matters of a legal nature concerning
the administration of the Department.
Legislation
The following Acts administered by the Department were passed by the
Legislature of Ontario at the Session which opened on February 1st, 1951:
The Beds of Navigable Waters Amendment Act, 1951
The Forest Fires Prevention Amendment Act, 1951
The Game and Fisheries Amendment Act, 1951
The Private Forest Reserves Act, 1951
The Public Lands Amendment Act, 1951
The Railway Fire Charge Amendment Act, 1951
The Wolf and Bear Bounty Amendment Act, 1951
Notes on Legislation
The Beds of Navigable Waters Act — This Act was passed originally in 1911.
The changes in the Act effected by The Beds of Navigable Waters Amendment Act,
1951, are designed to remove the uncertainties that have hitherto existed as to the
ownership of the beds of navigable waters. In 1940 certain amendments were made
Page 67 Division of Land and Recreational Areas
that were designed to strengthen the Act. As that intention has not been realized,
the 1940 amendments are repealed. Also the original basic section of the Act is
re-enacted to provide a definite result wherever the section operates, whereas the
original section created a presumption. The section as re-enacted also governs a
new case, namely, where a navigable body of water or stream flows through a parcel
of land.
The Forest Fires Prevent iou Act — The amendments to this kci are for the
general purpose of improving administration. For instance, the effect of two of the
amendments is that in the application for a work permit and in the permit itself
the land on which the operation is to take place must be described with greater
certainty than has been the case in the past.
The Game and Fisheries Act — Several amendments were made to this Act.
Among these is the provision by which "deer" is defined to include "wapiti," and
specific references to wapiti in the Act are deleted. As a result wapiti are to be
treated in all respects the same as deer. The prohibitions against the taking of any
female deer of any age or any male deer under the age of one year are repealed.
The prohibition against the use of snares during the open season for deer and
moose in any part of Ontario is relaxed by adding to the parts of Ontario excepted
therefrom the District of Cochrane and such other parts as may be prescribed by
regulations. The provision in the Act requiring an Information to be laid and the
case heard before the same magistrate is repealed to bring enforcement procedure
in line with modern court practices.
The Private Forest Reserves Act — An amendment to this Act enables the
Minister to transfer the title in timber to the owner of the land which has been
declared a private forest reserve under the Act, and in respect of which the timber
had been reserved to the Crown in the grant of the land. Such timber still cannot
be cut without the consent of the Minister.
The Public Lands Act — The effect of amendments to this Act is to cancel
clauses in grants of Crown lands for agricultural purposes that reserve any class or
kind of tree, and to vest the property in such trees in the patentee; to cancel timber
licences in respect of Crown land disposed of to settlers for agricultural purposes,
and to render void building conditions appearing in certain letters patent.
The Railway Fire Charge Act — This Act was amended for the purpose of
bringing into line with The Crown Timber Act the provisions with respect to charges
imposed for fire protection and the interest rate on arrears. The charge for fire
protection is now the same with respect to railway lands and Crown lands under
timber licence.
The Wolf and Bear Bounty Act — Amendments to this Act aVe designed to assist
in a proper administration of the Act and to enable a proper degree of control to
be applied where wolves and bears are released from captivity.
There are 27 Statutes of the Legislature of Ontario under which the Depart-
ment is administered. In addition, the administration of fish and wildlife resources
is governed in part by Government of Canada legislation and regulations, these being

and Recreatiomd Areas.
the Migratory Birds Convention Act and the Special Fishery Regulations for the
Province of Ontario made under the Fisheries Act. A topical list of the 27 Statutes
above referred to is available upon request to the Division of Operation and Personnel.
Regulations
A revision and consolidation of regulations fded under The Regulations Act
to the end of 1950 has been published as "Consolidated Regulations of Ontario, 1950."
Regulations with which the administration of this Department is concerned have
been made under The Crown Timber Act. The Cullers Act, The Forest Fires Prevention
Act, The Game and Fisheries Act. The Provincial Land Tax Act, The Provincial
Parks Act, The Public Lands Act, The Railway Fire Charge Act and The Wolf and
Bear Bounty Act, and these will be found in the Consolidated Regulations of Ontario,
1950.
Lands and Forests' regulations filed with the Registrar of Regulations between
January 1st and March 31st, 1951, and still in force are as follows:
The Game and Fisheries Act Subject-matter

Despite the fact that the Uepartnient does not advertise The Junior Ranger
program in any way. many more applications are received each year than can
be accepted. In 1950. 564 applications were received, of which a total of 283 were
accepted for employment. It is significant to note that many of the boys are desirous
of taking up forestry work in ensuing years. The main work undertaken during the
summer under review consisted of construction and maintenance of telephone lines,
clearing portages and trails, clearing camp sites, repairing buildings, painting and
construction work. Instruction was given in the use and care of tools, outboards,
pumps and canoes.

ANNUAL REPORT ON WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION COSTS
The Workmen's Compensation Report shows a considerable decrease in both
costs and number of accidents for the past fiscal year 1950-51. The costs have de-
creased by approximately S6000.00 and number of accidents have decreased by 107.
The fire season has not been as severe as the previous two years and this is
a major factor in the amount of decrease of accidents. In general, the severity of
accidents sustained was much less than that of the previous season and. therefore,
medical costs and compensation were not as great.
There has been a marked decrease in the number of accidents caused by axes,
falling objects, and those listed under miscellaneous. On the other hand, there were
9 plane accident cases but only 2 planes involved. On June 29th. 1950. a plane with
the pilot and 3 passengers failed at the take-off and crash landed in the bush. The
injuries in this case were only slight. An unfortunate plane crash occurred on
September 7th. 1950. when the plane piloted by S. Hutnick. and containing four
passengers, crashed near Temagami and all the occupants of the plane were killed.
This has necessitated the opening of three new pension claims as three of the plane
occupants left dependents. Five new pensions for the fiscal year 1950-51 were started
with one former pension being discontinued. The pension costs have increased by
SI 700.00 which is consistent with the increase in number of pensions.
Although the amount recoverable from Department of Public Works was
$595.85. the Workmen's Compensation Board credited us with a refund of S5S0.51
for the Kotimaa claim, which is now being charged direct to Public Works. Therefore,
the balance recoverable from Public Works is shown as $15.34.

IRAINING
Head Office Staff Course
During the year another Head Office Staff Coiir.se was conchicted and
attended by i2 of the Department's personnel representing all the districts in the
Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 86
Province and several of the Head Office staff. Instruction was given by the following
Divisions: Operation and Personnel, Law, Accounts, Land and Recreational Areas,
Timber Management, Forest Protection, Fish and Wildlife, Surveys and Engineering
and Research, and where applicable, those attending were handed charts, manuals
and copies of Acts. From comments of the personnel attending, they obtained through
the instruction, a better and broader knowledge of the operation of the Divisions in
which they were instructed.
Mechanical Training
To assist in the care and maintenance of our mechanical equipment 20
employees were sent to a training school operated by the Outboard Marine Motor
Company at Peterborough and received instruction on outboard motors and fire
pumps. The instruction was of excellent value to our men and they derived
knowledge of this equipment which could only be obtained at the factory.
One man was sent to the Crothers Diesel plant to receive instruction about
Diesel engines. He is now stationed at a centre where repairs are made on the job
by the mechanic or forwarded to a central point thereby decreasing the "lost time"
factor.
Of our supervisory staff 10 men from the field attended a course on Motor
Vehicle Maintenance and 12 a course on Fleet Supervisors. These courses were
conducted by the Safety Division of the Ljiiversity of Toronto and lectures were
delivered to the students, by key personnel of various automotive manufacturing
companies from whom valuable knowledge was obtained.
Ranger School
The Ranger School is functioning to capacity and with the 42 graduates this
year the total number of students having attended and graduated is 237.
Scaling Schools
With the holding of scaling schools at Carnarvon and Sault Ste. Marie this
year there are now 320 fully licensed scalers and 2?) licensed to scale pulpwood.
The holders of "pulp" licences have an opportunity of trying for full licences at a
later date. Other scalers' schools will be conducted during the year.
Pre-Service Training
A course was instituted whereby a candidate seeking employment as a
Conservation Officer was brought to Head Office and given instruction and training
prior to appointment and allocation. This was the first pre-service training undertaken
by the Department. The results were most gratifying with 11 candidates attending.
Safety and Training
As a safety and training officer was appointed late in the year we are now
working on Instruction courses and safety measures to be carried out during the
coming year. Figures compiled from statistics at hand show that there are
450 trained in Job Instruction Training
30 trained in Job Relations Training
1 trained in Job Methods Training

30 holding St. John's Ambulance Association Vouchers

During the District Foresters' conference a trip was arranged through the
courtesy of the Workmen's Compensation Board so that the District Foresters and
several Head Office personnel were privileged to visit the W.C.B. convalescent
centre at Malton and to see at first hand how industrial casualties are rehabilitated
and prepared for re-employment after treatment.
OFFICE MANAGEMENT SECTION
1. Locating, Purch.asixg and Expediting of Equipment and Supplies:
During the year, very little difficulty was experienced in securing equipment
and supplies. In most cases, Departmental requirements were met by immediate
delivery. In cases where stocks on hand did not permit of immediate delivery, delays
were not as prolonged as during other post-war years. As the months passed, it became
apparent that a shortage of steel was developing and that steel equipment would
soon be difficult to secure. With this in mind, a survey of Departmental needs for
the next fiscal year was made, and filing cabinets, map cabinets, and other steel
equipment ordered in time to ensure delivery before conditions became more critical.
All types of metals became much more difficult to procure toward the close of the
year.
2. Distribution of Equipment and Supplies:
In spite of the lack of adequate storage space, an increase was noted in the
weight and number of shipments, of supplies and equipment to field offices, as compared
with previous years.
Express and freight shipments reached a total of over 170 tons gross, consisting
of about 12,500 parcels, cartons, and crates. In addition to this, 29,300 pamphlets
including the Department's magazine "Sylva," were enclosed in envelopes and mailed;
75,000 circulars, including the weekly news release were collated, folded and mailed.
Licences prepared and shipped rose to a total of 802,900 contained in 10,210 separate
orders or shipments.
3. Staff Uniforms:
Generally speaking, no major changes were made in the uniform equipment
issued to qualified personnel, with the exception of the purchase of light-weight
summer caps. These are made of the same material as the summer uniform and should
not only add to the appearance of the uniform, but give the wearer a considerable
amount of added comfort.
Through the use of laboratory tests in selecting materials, and experience
gained over the years, the uniform equipment as issued at present is of high quality
and good appearance.
The total number of personnel now equipped with uniforms is 520 and the
administrative duties such as purchasing, issuing, replacing, and recording have
increased with the number of personnel equipped.
Page 89 Division of Operation and Personnel
4. Duplicating, Frixtixg. Distributiox of Pkixted Matter:
Production of Departmental forms, pamphlets, reports and other printed matter
that could be handled by either the Multilith or Mimeograph process was increased
during the year. This increase was achieved despite the lack of adequate space and
the fact that, for most of the time, a shortage of trained staff existed.
The total impressions for the various processes were as follows:
Multilith - - - - 4,474.550
Mimeograph - - - - - - - - - 77.5.271
These figures show an increase of 541.500 impressions for the Multilith and
265.100 for the Mimeograph over the previous year.
In preparation of work for the printing room, the Vari-t\per operator prepared
288 photographic drafts for new negatives, 62 paper plates as well as numerous
stencils and many alterations to negatives.
5. Servicixg axd Space Adjustmexts:
Servicing might be generally defined as the eft'ort expended by this section in
seeing that office machinery and equipment is kept in good working order, organizing
the moving of furniture and equipment when necessary and in doing or supervising the
numerous small but time-consuming jobs required to keep the equipment functioning
smoothly. All requests for such service have been carried out to the satisfaction of
those concerned.
Due to the lack of any available space, little has been done with regard to
space adjustments.
6. Conferences:
Considerable difficulty was encountered in securing suitable accommodation
for the conferences, meetings, and classes that were held during the year, and on a
number of occasions, it was necessary to rent meeting rooms from outside sources.
This condition is caused by the lack of sufficient conference-room space within the
Buildings.
7. Properties, Leasixg, etc.:
The leasing of premises for Departmental use is to be taken over by the
Department of Public \\'orks, and arrangements were made to turn all existing leases
over to them as of April 1, 1951.
This action does not relieve this section of any of its responsibility, nor does
it lessen the work involved, but it does centralize the work of preparing leases and
payment of rentals so that a standard throughout the province can be maintained.
During the current year, the following projects were carried out. with regard to
District Offices:
New premises leased — 3
New premises purchased — 1
Additions to present offices leased — 2
Renewals of leases — 4
Extensions to leases — 2
Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 90
8. Records Office:
In the records office, the lack of sufficient space is acute as in all other sections
of the Division and the Department as a whole. To make room for new files each year
a large number of the older files have to be moved to the storage vault at Maple.
While these older files are not in use continually, they are required from time to
time, and it is necessary to send messengers for various files quite frequently. There
is also a shortage of staff in this section, and as the juniors are also used as messengers
for the Department, it has been difficult to maintain good service at all times.
INFORMATION AND EDUCATION SECTION
Organization
The Information and Education Section is divided into two co-operative units
with a Supervisor in charge of Information and a Supervisor responsible for Education.
Its over-all purpose is to stimulate public interest in. understanding of, and
support for the main objective of the Department, which is to protect from depletion
and bring about the full development and utilization of the natural resources under
its administration, in the best interests of all the people of Ontario.
EDUCATION SECTION
Visual Education
The film "Out of the Smoke" was completed by the end of the year 1950 and
copies were distributed to all District offices. This film depicts the salvage operations
which were undertaken by the Department following the Mississagi-Chapleau Fire of
1948. During the year 1950-51 the following films were added to our library for use
of both Head Office and field personnel:
Trees are a Crop Manapemcnt of Men on the Fire Line
Shotgun Shooting and How Then It Happened
Green Harvest Accidents Don't Happen
Loon's Necklace Gun Dogs
Rape of the Earth Shadows in the Stream
Look to the Forest Sharp Eyes
Just a Bunch of Tools Spearheads in the Sky
Use of the Forest
Exhibits
An important part of the Department's public appeal is carried on across the
Province by exhibits, displays and floats. Of the total (64 during the year), ten of
these are of major proportions including nationally known exhibitions. Displays at
these major exhibits cover a total of over 60,000 square feet of displays.
During the year there were:
Major exhibits 10
Sportsmen's Shows 6
Larger county fairs 18
Smaller fairs and floats _34
Total 64
Lecture Tours
Prior to April 1st, 1950, the public relations work of the Department was
carried on with one Departmental representative doing the work for each Region. In
an effort to intensify this work on a broad scale, the senior field officers of each
District were given the responsibility of carrying out the public relations activities,
Page 91
Division of Operation and Personnel
attending meetings and exhibits as speakers and showing the various films depicting
the activities of the Department. With the number of Divisional officers at Head
Office doing this same work, this means a matter of two hundred officers contacting and
speaking to the public instead of the original seven or eight.
In order to assist in this work, each District has been equipped with a 16 mm.
sound projector, a 35 mm. slide projector, films and screens during the past year.
Besides these officers working for the Department, we also have a force of approxi-
mately two hundred Conservation Officers who. along with their normal duties,
attend all exhibits and often visit schools and private groups to discuss with them the
problems of protection regarding fish and game conservation.
At the same time the Canadian Forestry Association's Ontario Branch was
partially subsidized by this Department to the extent of S4000 and two trucks with
complete lecture tour equipment. This nationally known organization took up the
lecture tour work in the schools with vigour and a summary of their tours appears
as an appendix to the Department tours listed below.
The following table shows a summary of lecture tours for the period April 1st,
1950 to March 31st. 1951.

Photography
Cameras are supplied to all Divisions and District Oftices for record purposes.
Two professional photographers cover the procuring of activity photographs
which are used for all departmental publications, in Sylva, and for distribution to
newspapers and periodicals (news and technical), across the Province.
A complete cross-indexed filing system is maintained for all photographs.
Photographs are indexed under each Divisional activity.
In the year 1949 over 13,000 8 x 10 prints were processed in this section. In
1950 this was nearly doubled with 25,000 prints being turned out.
This section has also undertaken the cataloguing of 35 mm. film slides for use
in the public relations activities of the Department.
16 mm. colour motion films are being produced, the first one — completely
photographed by Department personnel — being "Out of the Smoke", issued in 1950.
INFORMATION SECTION
Publications
During the year under review a vacancy in the staff handling publications
slowed up the work of production. Despite the handicap, however, the following
publications were completed.
Minister's Annual Report — (Boolciet) Game and Fisheries Act — (Booklet)
Six Issues Departmental Magazine — (Booklet) Three Manuals Timber Management —
Planning for Tree Planting— (Booklet) (Booklets)
Care and Planting of Trees — (Booklet) Administrative Division Chart — (Chart)
Lands for Settlement — (Booklet) Timber Management in Ontario — (Booklet)
Reforestation and Woodlot Management — Statutes Administered by the Department —
(Booklet) 2Q Acts — (Loose-leaf volume)
The following publications are in some stage of preparation or revision:
Ontario Forest Atlas Wildlife Booklet
Lefax Statistics Two Manuals of Timber Management
Reports by Professor Matthews One issue of the Department's Magazine
Revised Administrative Acts Minister's Annual Report
Forest Protection Booklet
Publicity
The term publicity is used here to describe that part of the work by means
of which the public is kept informed concerning departmental administration and
educated through such media as the press, outside publications, radio, exhibits, and
signs and posters. Activities during the year were as follows:
Press
The Weekly News Release known as "Conservation Corner" was issued
regularly every week to all of the newspapers in the Province, as well as to Radio
Stations, Outdoor Writers, Game and Fish Protective Associations and a miscellaneous
list of interested conservationists and house organs. It approximates 2,000 words per
Page 93 Division of Operation and Personnel
issue and consists, for the most part, of reports on departmental activities, changes
in the Acts, particularly the Game and Fisheries Act, open seasons for hunting, fishing
and trapping and conservational appeals for the protection of the resources.
Our records show that it is serving a most useful purpose and its acceptability
rating has considerably increased. The average weekly column space being used by
newspapers throughout the Province is now from eight hundred to one thousand
column inches or approximately forty to fifty full news columns.
In addition to the regular News Release some twenty-nine press releases on
matters of more or less urgency were issued to the metropolitan dailies and wire
services. The Section clipping file now totals three hundred and two individual files
with an estimated twenty thousand clippings per year.
Articles
A number of articles were provided to newspapers issuing special editions,
and considerable assistance given to writers seeking information for feature articles.
Radio
The Information Section prepared three long radio scripts and provided
material for a number of short scripts and announcements. In addition a great deal of
coverage was provided by radio stations throughout the Province as a result of the
regular news service.
Photo Releases
During the year some fourteen photo release stories, with an average of seven
photographs per release, were prepared and issued to the press.
Advertisements
Copy was supplied for forty-three paid Display Advertisements in magazines
and newspapers during the year. They varied from one-quarter page to full page
advertisements, mostly in black and white with art work or photos. Each stressed
the need for public co-operation in preventing forest fires and conserving the resources.
Administrative advertisements to the number of one hundred and twenty-seven
were also inserted in newspapers throughout the Province.
Posters and Signs
The distribution of posters and signs to district offices was continued and the
following posters rei)rinted:
Extract Game and Fisheries Act Notice to Settlers
Forest Fires -Are Caused By — Prevent Forest Fires (2)
Look Before You Leave This Forest .\rea Closed
Notice — this is the property of — Trees for Tomorrow
Miscellaneous Publicity Materials
Available supplies of pencils, rulers, and whetstones, each of them bearing a
conservation appeal, were distributed to organized groups in large numbers.

Page 94
Correspondence
An average of six hundred routine requests for information or publications
was handled monthly. These are in addition to a fairly large number of (personal and
written) requests for information requiring considerable research or special attention.
Personal Enquiries
The section also handled a large number of telephone calls daily and inter-
viewed a considerable number of callers seeking first hand information or publications.

DIVISION OF REFORESTATION
Extension Forestry
The increased staff of Zone Foresters has made it possible to complete a
survey of markets for woodlot products. Local market directories have been supplied
to each District, and a general directory is retained in Head Office.
A high percentage of private planting sites, and many private woodlots, were
inspected. A favourable response to this service was received from landowTiers.
A survey of survival in private plantations was completed. Survival of some
species was low. This emphasizes the importance of the policy of inspecting private
planting sites.
Nurseries
Development of the new nursery areas at Saint Williams, Midhurst and
Orono continues. The use of chemicals for the purpose of weeding seed beds and
transplant beds was initiated, and in general gave promise of reduced costs on this
operation.

Municipal Forest Management
The area of Authority and Municipal Forests under Agreement increased
this year by 8,837.02 acres, to 75,628.97 acres. Working plans for woodlots, with
the resultant cut regulation figures, were completed for six County Forests.
In addition to other products, over 1,500 cords of pulpwood were sold from
Municipal Forests under Agreement.

DIVISION OF RESEARCH
General Introduction
As the Research Division is concerned with the solution of certain problems of
forest protection, forest management, reforestation, and fish and wildlife management,
reference is made to projects in the following, under these headings.
Forest Protection: The research work in this connection is largely of a mechanical
nature, concerned with the improvement of present and the design of new forest fire
fighting equipment. The main object is to take the load off the fire fighter's back, and
to permit the effective use of mechanical power on the fire line. Examples of equipment
developed along these lines are the Pack Tractor and the Easifill fire fighter's pack
tank.
Forest Management: The problems which are given to the Research Division for solu-
tion are those of forest reproduction of some species after logging and fire, and of
timber growth rate. Studies are made of the reproduction and growth of the most
important commercial species in the various regions across the province and
experiments are established to prove the findings. As environment has an important
relationship, soil, climatic and silvicultural studies are integrated.
Reforestation: Research projects include the study of seeds, seeding methods, and the
production of new and better varieties of trees. The study of seeds aims to improve
the production of seed of various tree species to assure a steady supply instead of the
widely fluctuating provision of natural forests. The object of the seed treatment
studies is to improve germination and survival and to provide seeding devices as a
means of reforestation. Examples of mechanical aids in reforestation which have been
developed at the Station are the Infra-red Seed Extractor and the Walking Stick
Seeder. Two important tree breeding projects are proceeding, one with white pine and
the other with poplars. The first is designed to produce a white pine resistant to
blister rust and weevil, and the second to produce a poplar of rapid growth, high
quality wood, and resistant to disease.
Fish and Wildlife Management: The objectives are the provision of information
necessary for the management of fish and wildlife, and, hence, the improved produc-
tion of game and commercial fish, and game and fur-bearing animals. The study of
the relationship of fish, birds and mammals to their environment is an integral part of
the programs. Environmental relationships are being investigated through field studies
of habits and behaviours — food habits, habitat requirements, and the incidence of
parasites and disease. Populations are subject to periodic changes from scarcity to
plenty, and often since one species is dependent on others for food, a decline in one
may be accompanied by a decline in others dependent on it.
Co-operative Agencies
The research work conducted both at the Station and in the field is characterized
by a high degree of co-operation between the Research Division of the Department
and other research organizations, such as those of the Government of Canada, the
universities, the Research Council of Ontario and the Ontario Research Foundation.
Close co-operation also exists between the Division of Research and the forest
industries, commercial fishermen and hunting and fishing groups, both in the
initiation of and the carrying out of research projects.

Southern Research Station
A Quonset storage building was completed during the year and the new
biological research building was nearing completion at the close of the year. For
permanent record purposes the following description of the station is included in
this report.
Location: The station property is located approximately eighteen miles north of
Toronto on Dufferin Street just north of the road t)etween Maple and Richmond Hill.
Property: The site was chosen because it is marginal farm land suitable for forest
use. far enough away from city influences and expansion. The property in 1951 is one
hundred acres in area, thirty acres of which were purchased in 1944, and seventy
acres in 1947.
Buildini^s: Since the start of construction in 1944, nine Iniildings have been erected
to date of 1951. Only two of these buildings are occupied wholly by research staff.

SOUTHERN RESEARCH STATION
BUILDINGS AND ROADS 1951
D U F F E R I N
Three others are used exclusively by other Divisions of the Department; two are
shared between the Research Division and the Lake Simcoe District Office, and one is
the property superintendent's residence. In addition to these nine buildings there are
five smaller structures, including a pump house for station water supply, a pump test
and gas house, two garages and a potting shed for the greenhouse.
In the following a brief description is made of the various buildings with
regard to occupancy and use. The numbers given refer to those noted on the Station
plan.
Reference No. 1: This building is now occupied by the mechanical research section;
part of the fisheries research group; the property superintendent's office; the vehicle
repair garage; and the Lake Simcoe District office. In explanation of the latter it may
be noted that the province is divided for administrative purposes into twenty-two
districts of which the Lake Simcoe District is one.
Reference Xo. 2: The Laboratory for Experimental Limnology is used exclusively for
fisheries research, carried on under co-operative arrangement with the University of
Toronto.
Reference A^o. 3: Biological Research building space is used in a proportion of about
one-third by the Division of Fish and Wildlife and two-thirds by the Division of
Research. The Division of Research quarters include a wildlife laboratory, a
silvicultural laboratory and a chemical laboratory, a draughting room, a library, two
Page 109 Division of Research
refrigeration rooms, and a number of offices. The Division of Fish and Wildlife has a
large laboratory and a number of offices and other rooms. A lunch room, a carpentry
shop and several other work shops occupy the balance of the space.
Reference Xo. 4: The greenhouse is used entirely for tree breeding and silvicultural
research.
Reference Xo. 5: This building was originally a research garage and chemical labora-
tory but is now wholly used as net and boat storage space by the Division of Fish and
Wildlife.
Reference Xo. 6: This building is a storage vault wholly used for permanent record
files of the Department in the custody of the Division of Operation and Personnel.
Reference Xo. 7 : This is a steel Quonset building used for storage of equipment of the
Division of Surveys and Engineering and of the Division of Research.
Reference Xo. 8: This is the central radio station of the Department. It reaches all
district offices and is connected by telephone and teletype to the head office in the
Parliament Buildings. It is operated by the Division of Forest Protection. Living
accommodation for the operator is provided in the building.
Mechanical Rese.arch
Various projects since 1945 have produced tools and equipment for many
branches of the department, but the major developments have been in the field of
forest protection and reforestation.
Brief descriptions will be given of some of the major devices made or in
production. The first is the "Pack Tractor''.
The "Pack Tractor" or "creep" was first suggested at a meeting of regional
foresters with representatives of the Research Division and a consultant from industry.
This meeting was held after the ^Slississagi fire and the foresters were asked what
piece of fire fighting equipment they would most like to have. The answer was some-
thing that would get power on to the fire line and that would take the load from the
fire fighter's back in covering the last mile or so from air. road or rail transport to the
fire. The pack tractor was built in answer to this demand.
It is a crawler or track laying vehicle, five and one-half feet long, two and
one-half feet wide and three and a third feet high, and weighs six hundred and fifty
pounds. It will carry its own weight through the bush with little trail cutting. It can
be broken down into six pieces each weighing no more than one hundred and thirty
pounds for handling by air transport although the whole machine could be contained
in a Beaver airplane cabin. The machine may be knocked down or re-assembled by
one man in ten minutes.
By the end of 1951 it is expected that this tractor will be produced commercially.
In order to reduce labour, time and cost in forest tree nursery and planting
practices, a special drive has been made towards mechanization, to which research
has contributed. Two such devices are the seedling lifter and root pruner. both of
which may be mounted on a large tractor. A steel blade penetrates the ground to a
depth of six inches across the full width of the seedling bed. The seedling lifter
Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 110
loosens the soil so that seedlings may be lifted out easily, either for transplanting or
direct shipping while the root pruner cuts the roots a few inches below the surface
and stimulates the formation of a compact root growth.
In order to improve the yield of forest tree seeds, a pilot plant was built in
1947 which applied infrared heat to cones. Tests showed better and faster results
than the old method and the pilot plant was moved to the provincial seed extraction
plant at Angus where it has been in operation for three years. Tests are continuing
there on red pine, for which this method appears well adapted.
A seeding probe or "walking stick" seeder was built for direct seeding of forest
trees wherever this method is possible or practical. This device is hand operated and
light in weight. It punches a hole in the ground and drops a single seed. It is designed
to handle coated seeds because they are uniform in size and can be dispensed readily
one at a time. Naked seed of some species can be used though not with the same
precision, and several seeds may be dropped at once.
A number of other projects have been or are being carried on including the
following: the "Easifill" fire fighter's pack can, which may be quickly and easily filled
in very shallow water; a mechanically operated fire hose folder and a fire line digger;
tests of hose for resistance to wear and decay, an aerial seeder for dispensing forest
tree seed from airplanes; tests of carboloy and stellite — treated and untreated cutting
tools to keep tools sharp for a longer time.
Seed Studies
Seeding Habit of Red Pine: This project continues under the direction of Dr. George
Duff, who began this work in 1946. The main object of the work is to gain an under-
standing of the factors controlling the production and behaviour of forest tree seed.
The red pine has been chosen as the first species to be investigated because seed pro-
duction of this important reforestation tree is very erratic. Field headquarters for
this investigation is at Angus, and the work is done mainly on trees in the plantations
of Simcoe County (Angus, Camp Borden, Midhurst and Craighurst) and at Chalk
River.
In the study during 1950 of factors controlling cone production the chief point
of interest lay in the heavy premature seed production of young trees in the Craighurst
plantation. The pattern of growth exhibited by the bearing trees in contrast with the
barren specimens was investigated, and the correlation of this with the topographical
and soil conditions in the stand is being determined. The first attempt was made in
1950 to influence growth and cone production by the application of growth hormones
to trees in several of the plantations.
In the stud\- of factors restricting seed production in formed cones, work on
insects infesting cones was begun by the Forest Insect Laboratory and will be reported
elsewhere. The occurrence of aborted and hollow seed was found to be substantial,
and the causes appear to be complex.
Work on the optimum conditions for seed production in culture continued.
Experimental plots have been prepared by thinning existing plantation stands as they
reached various stages of density. There are now plots of thirty, twenty and
Page 111
Division of Research
fifteen 3-ears of age and plots of mixed ages in which the growth pattern of the trees
before and after liberation is being recorded. The time and manner in which the trees
become productive will be determined. Additions were made to the nursery collection of
young trees which are the progeny of highly productive parents. These trees will be
set out permanently on sites to be chosen within the next three years.
Seed Treatment
The coating or pelleting of seeds for use in mechanical seeders still continues
at the Southern Research Station, and the process has been perfected to a point where
a specially designed seeder (the Brohm Seeder) has been completed to use these
pellets for actual seeding operations in the forest where such an operation is feasible.
The other aspects of coating, such as the addition of fungicides, rodent and insect
repellents, fertilizers and hormones, are still being studied with reasonable prospects
of ultimate success. Experimental seeding operations are being conducted in the Port
Arthur district and Manitoulin Island, in co-operation with pulp and paper companies.
Forest Tree Breeding
Work continued during the year in the three main projects: White Pine,
Poplars, and the Arboretum.
Research n-orkers adjusting pump on plankton sampler.
Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 112
White Pine: As in former years efforts were concentrated in this project on the
assembling of breeding materials and their testing and evaluation.
With better facilities and new techniques it was possible to expand greatly the
grafting of white pine and improve the quality of the results. Much new and valuable
material has been assembled in this way.
An experiment revealed that it is definitely possible to infect seedlings with
blister rust during their first year in the seed beds.
A small plantation of black currants was established in a low, sheltered cleared
spot in partial shade to provide inoculum for infection in the fall, when the occurrence
of dry weather destroys most of the currant leaves.
Outside grafting, developed in 1948 and perfected in 1949, was used for mass
propagation of some Mugo pine and Japanese red pine (Pinus densi flora) which were
grafted into the plantation of Scotch pine established in the fall of 1947. Scions were
also collected from some seedlings of Pinus cembra growing at Angus and successfully
grafted into the crown of a mature white pine at Maple. This experiment is to investi-
gate Burbank's method of inducing early flowering, and determine whether it may be
applied to white pine and related species.
The artificial hybridization undertaken in 1949 in the plantation at Pointe
Platon in Quebec yielded some 3000 presumably hybrid seeds. This is the first time
that hybrid white pine seeds have been obtained with both parents resistant to
blister rust.
The breeding work carried out with white pine at the Southern Research
Station has now grown to such an extent and produced such results that it begins to
receive international recognition. In recent years visitors to the Station from the
United States, Sweden, France, Denmark, Norway and Finland have commented very
favourably on the achievements.
Poplar: In work with the aspen group it has been possible to gradually assemble a
fairly large collection of silver poplar materials from several parts of its native and
cultivated range in Europe. Most of this has been propagated up to a volume which
makes it possible to start a fairly comprehensive rooting capacity test from stem
cuttings.
Following the promising results of budding in 1949, new budding material was
collected on a fairly large scale at Harvard Forest where a good collection of native
aspens from a wide range of localities is available.
Work with induction of early flowering by using the dwarf variety of
trembling aspen occasionally found in southern Ontario is beginning to yield tangible
results.
Poplar hybridization was again undertaken on a fairly large scale, using mostly
pollen of European aspen.
Arboretum: Efforts are now concentrated on building up an extensive breeding
arboretum of white pine and poplars.

Experimental scarification and sonnng of yellow birch.
Forest Growth
Measurement of hardwoods in Peninsular Ontario was continued during the
summer of 1950. The purpose is to provide tables that will enable woodlot owners to
estimate the volume of material that might be removed from their woodlots. Tables
for sugar maple and beech were completed during the first part of 1950. Not enough
data had been collected for other species until the 1950 field work was completed.
Work on tables for white elm and soft maple was then begun and completed early in
1951. Other features of tree growth and tree volume were investigated as the volume
table work progressed.
Forest Soils
Work in soils research is under the direction of Mr. G. A. Hills.
Forest Site Rci^ions and Laudjonn Patterns: Information secured during 1950 in the
Kenora and Patricia areas completed a reconnaissance of the province commenced in
1944 with the object of preparing a site region map. This map. with a description of
the site regions, demonstrates the application of the recently devised site classifications
to Ontario conditions. These site regions will provide a better basis for the study of
forest regeneration, growth and yield, and silvicultural tests leading to the application
of improved forest management practices.
Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 114
Reference Areas for the Identification of Basic Sites: In 1950 field parties selected and
examined in detail areas in various parts of the province which will have soils and
sites mapped in detail and may be used by foresters and others to assist them in the
recognition of various basic sites. These basic sites are recognized as a combination of,
1. Topographic features, elevation and aspect that determine local climate;
2. Ground-water and soil profile features determining soil moisture regime;
and,
3. Texture and structure of soil and geologic materials determining the move-
ment and retention of water available to plant roots.
Reference areas have been established in the Thunder Bay. Muskoka and Parry Sound
districts and Haliburton County; in the Petavvawa Management Unit; in five County
Forests, and at Orono nursery.
Ecoclimatic {local climate) Studies: Twenty-one stations were set up at the University
Forest in Haliburton County to study differences in soil and vegetative development
on various physiographic positions. Daily measurements of air temperature, evaporation,
sunshine and rainfall were recorded close to the ground surface.
Laboratory Analysis: The work of analysing representative soil samples secured by
field parties was continued at the Southern Research Station. Field samples obtained
in 1951 will fill the gaps and permit the preparation of a preliminary report on the
chemical and physical characteristics of the soils of Northern Ontario.
Greenhouse Studies: The soil requirements of red pine were studied in the greenhouse
at the Southern Research Station, using soil samples from Orono nursery. Application
of various fertilizers were made to promote a balanced root development and to
increase the percentage of survival. Tests of various methods of reducing soil acidity
were also conducted.
In addition to the greenhouse work assistance was given in planning an experi-
ment to study the requirements of red pine in relation to growth and disease in the
Orono nursery seedbeds.
Assistance was also given in establishing permanent sample plots in Algonquin
Park and the University Forest for soils and silvicultural experiments.
Soil Microbiology: Studies in forest soil microbiology were initiated in the University
Forest. Arrangements were made to set aside permanent sample plots in the Maple-
Hemlock stands from which large samples of surface organic layers were taken for
testing of soil fungi development and function.
Region.al Projects
South Central Region: General exploratory work was continued with respect
to the condition of the white pine, including preliminaries to the setting up of an active
research project in the Petawawa Management Unit in co-operation with the Division
of Timber Management. It is proposed that the project will include a study of cutting
methods to secure adequate regeneration, maximum growth on residual stands and
adequate growing stock.
Page 115 Division of Research
The re-establishment of stands of white pine is one of the most pressing forest
problems in Ontario, and investigation is most urgently required.
A long-term study of yellow birch was started in the summer of 1950. The
object is to determine what has brought about the poor condition of yellow birch in
the western portion of the South-Central Region, and what corrective action may be
taken.
Midwestern Region: The work undertaken includes the following projects:
1. Re-examination of the permanent sample plots established in 1948 in the
Black Sturgeon Concession of the Great Lakes Paper Company.
2. Re-examination of the permanent sample plots established in 1949 in the
Thunder Bay-Xipigon Concession of the Abitibi Power and Paper Company.
3. Establishment and tally of a ten acre plot for statistical analysis of
information gathered.
4. Establishment of a spacing plantation.
5. Seed dispersal test.
6. Re-examination of a seeding and planting experiment established in 1947
on the limits of the Central Canada Forest Products, Ltd., Beardmore.
Northern Region: A research forester, E. K. E. Dreyer, was appointed to the
region in the spring of 1950. with headquarters at Cochrane. Mr. Dreyer is working
along the same lines as the two research foresters already appointed. That is, a study
is being made of the means of management applicable to the species indigenous to the
various regions. An extensive study of the cutting practices and their effect on black
spruce is already under way in Leitch Township.
Forest Pathology
The Division continued its co-operative arrangement with the Laboratory' of
Forest Pathology, Division of Botany, Department of Agriculture, Canada. Two
members of the staff of the Division were on loan to this laboratory during the past
year.
Several co-operative projects were undertaken, including the following:
Damping-off in Red Pine: In October, 1950. an extensive program was initiated
to study the results of applying fertilizers to the soil in which red pine seed were sown
at the Orono Provincial Forest Station. The purpose of the experiment is to ascertain
whether the addition of fertilizers to the soil will promote vigorous enough growth to
the seedlings to throw off attack of damping-off fungi. Soil studies were made, the
various materials were applied and a system for the collection and interpretation of
the data was developed.
Other co-operative studies, which were reported in some detail last year, were
continued, including deterioration of birch, tree damage from atmospheric pollution,
and needle blight of white pine. For detailed information on these studies reference
should be made to separate reports by Dr. L. T. White. Officer-in-Charge. Dominion
Laboratory of Forest Pathology, Toronto.
Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 116
Forest Entomology
Dr. C. E. Atwood continued to act in a consultancy capacity. During the past
year he made surveys of the following insect outbreaks in various parts of the
province:
1. Spruce budworm, in Pembroke and Kenora areas.
2. Larch sawfly, in the Kenora area.
3. Pine-feeding sawflies, in many parts of the province, particularly the Sault
Ste. Marie and Quetico areas. The European spruce sawfly was discovered
in the latter area, a great extension of its previously known range.
4. Yellow-headed spruce sawfly, general.
5. Miscellaneous insects on spruce and maple.
Dr. Atwood's connection with the Department helped him to maintain contact with
graduate students working on a number of projects in forest entomology, to mutual
advantage.
The Division continued its co-operative arrangement with the Division of
Forest Biology. Department of Agriculture, Canada, with particular reference to the
Forest Insect Laboratory, Sault Ste. Marie. Dr. ]\L L. Prebble, Officer-in-Charge,
issues a separate report.
Fisheries
By co-operative arrangement. Dr. F. E. J. Fry of the University of Toronto
continues to direct fisheries research for the Division, with the assistance of N. S.
Baldwin, a member of the staff of the Division. During the past year the research
program was carried out at three main centres — the Department's Fisheries Research
Station at South Baymouth, IManitoulin Island; the Ontario Fisheries Research
Laboratory, Algonquin Park, and the Department's Southern Research Station, near
Maple.
The South Bay Experiment: The damaging effects of large populations of undesirable
or coarse fish on the abundance of more desirable species have become a major concern
of both commercial and sport fishing interests. The purpose of the South Bay Experi-
ment is to determine whether a regulated net fishery which removes considerable
quantities of coarse fish would increase the production of commercial and game fish.
A committee representing all major interests is responsible for the conduct of the
experiment. The composition of this committee was outlined in last year's report.
Since the initiation of the experiment in 1947 net catches of the more
important coarse fish reached a total number of 554,517, while the catch of valuable
species, largely whitefish, totalled 140,797 lbs. The average annual removal of 8 lbs.
of coarse fish per acre of water, while believed to be a comparatively high return for
these waters, has had no observable eft'ect as yet in reducing their abundance. The
net fishery has had neither a favourable or adverse effect on sport fishing.
Age determination of fish by study of their scales has allowed certain predic-
tions in the case of the sports fishery. Lake trout fishing will decline in the next two
or three years as there is no evidence of young fish to replace the abundant age group
Page 117
Division of Research
hatched in 1944. This age group, which has provided very attractive fishing in the
last two years, is now almost exhausted.
The disposal of fish waste arising from the netting operations is also being
studied. Further experiments in handling sucker fillets were carried on last year, and
a trial shipment of one ton was sent to a cold storage firm which undertook to test
their acceptability in the retail market. Some cooked fillet waste was sold as mink food.
Scientific investigations of the fish populations in South Bay are under the
direct supervision of Dr. Fry. Early investigations included biological and hydrological
surveys and the development of routine procedures for studying the catches. Informa-
tion has been collected on the food, growth and egg production of the more important
species. Changes in the size and age composition of fish caught are being followed in
order to determine the exact effects of the heavy fishing.
Tagging studies have yielded information on a number of important questions.
Over 5000 fish were tagged in 1950, almost half of which were whitefish. Recoveries
of these fish, and some tagged in previous years, showed extensive migrations of
whitefish. following two main routes. The larger group leaves South Bay and enters
the northern part of Georgian Bay through the Owen Channel at the south-east
corner of Manitoulin Island. The other group moves south across the mouth of
Georgian Bav to the west shore of the Bruce Peninsula.
Testing of Toxicity of industrial waste.
Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 118
Tagging studies also indicated that lake trout movements are largely confined
to South Bay. There is evidence that the trout suffered heavily from lamprey predation
during the winter, 1949-1950.
Ontario Fisheries Research Laboratory: Co-operative investigation of the factors
concerned in lake productivity have been carried on since 1946 by the Department,
the Research Council of Ontario and the University of Toronto, under the direction
of Dr. R. R. Langford. A number of the projects have been involved, among which
are the artificial fertilization of lakes, the analysis of incoming nutrients, chemical
analysis of waters and the addition of lime to highly coloured lake waters. In addition,
the Department has carried out a speckled trout investigation under the direction of
N. S. Baldwin and an investigation of lake trout under N. V. Martin, as well as the
Algonquin Park creel census.
Lake Improvement Projects: The addition of chemical fertilizers to increase the
productivity of lake waters was commenced in 1946 and continued, with minor
changes, in 1950. Microscopic plants and animals, as well as forage fish, showed
increases in abundance. Oxygen depletion of bottom water as a result of fertilization
during 1950 became more acute. The quantities of fertilizer added are being adjusted
in an endeavour to correct this undesirable effect.
The chemical analysis of water entering and leaving the lakes under experiment
was continued at the Opeongo laboratory and at the Southern Research Station in
order that a "mineral balance sheet" for these lakes may be developed.
In the course of fertilization it was found that certain important chemical
substances in the fertilizers became bound to other substances and were not available
to the microscopic plants which are the starting point in the food chain. Hydrated
lime was added to one lake in 1950 in order to create an alkaline condition which, it
was hoped, would release the important elements to the plants. Another object in
adding lime was to decolorize the water to allow a deeper penetration of sunlight into
the lake. It was hoped that this would increase the microscopic plant populations at
lower levels. In addition, Dolomitic limestone was placed in the beds of inflowing
streams to give a more lasting effect. The liming of the lake made the water highly
alkaline at first, but this condition moderated and by October the lake was only
slightly alkaline. There was a 20% decrease in the colour of the upper water, with a
comparable increase at lower levels. This indicated a "settling out" of the colour. The
higher aquatic plants showed a marked increase in response to this change in
conditions.
Algonquin Park Creel Census: For fifteen years the creel census has been following
trends in the fishing quality of Algonquin Park lakes. At the same time it has been
evaluating such management practices as restocking, lake closure to fishing in alter-
nate years, and lake fertilization. The job of studying the effects of water level
manipulation on lake trout spawning was assigned to the creel census of 1950.
The failure of extensive plantings of hatchery-reared speckled trout to improve
fishing has been demonstrated by the census. It did show, however, that good results
can be obtained when competing fish are first removed by poisoning.
Page 119 Division of Research
Speckled trout fishing was poorer in 1950 than in the previous two years, but
there was some indication that this decrease was due to unfavourable angling condi-
tions rather than to a decrease in the abundance of speckled trout.
Lake Trout Investigation: A knowledge of the movements of lake trout from one to
another of the four main basins of lake Opeongo is of considerable importance from a
management viewpoint. Tagging studies since 1949 show a movement of lake trout up
the lake in the spring and down the lake in the fall. It is not yet known what per-
centage of the fish make this migration. Studies of lake trout spawning and water level
fluctuations due to the operation of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario,
initiated in 1949, were continued in 1950. It was found that in Lake Opeongo a normal
draw-down of 2>4 feet had little effect on the spawning of lake trout. Similarly in
Hay Lake, where no serious water fluctuation was experienced in 1950. only slight
damage to spawn occurred. In Shirley Lake major water level fluctuations have con-
fined the lake trout to a narrow spawning bed of inferior quality, thereby interfering
seriously with natural reproduction. The depths at which lake trout spawn and the
position and extent of the spawning beds vary considerably from lake to lake. The
problem of lake level fluctuations and lake trout spawning should therefore be studied
at a local level. The development of techniques and equipment to aid in these studies
is under investigation.
Speckled Trout Investigation: \'arious aspects of the life history of the speckled
trout have been studied since 1947 in order to obtain information which would aid in
the management of this important game fish. A study of the growth rate of these fish
from a number of lakes and streams was undertaken in 1950. Investigations of the
various requirements of speckled trout in lakes was continued, but the proposed aerial
search for spawning sites, proposed in 1949. could not be undertaken due to unfavor-
able weather. .Artificial spawning boxes were used by trout introduced into a small lake.
Further development of this device, it is hoped, will provide a means of encouraging
natural reproduction.
Southern Research Station: In 1948 the Department, in co-operation with the Uni-
versity of Toronto, established a laboratory for experimental limnology at this station.
During the past year laboratory investigation of the effects of temperature and low
oxygen on various species of trout and other fish have been undertaken. An investiga-
tion of the inheritance of temperature resistance has also been started. A fish scale
projector, used to determine the age of fish, was in almost constant use during 1950
by technicians studying the rate of growth of fi.sh collected in the field. Facilities were
also provided for the study of the food habits of fish sent in by the field stations.
Wildlife
Wildlife research projects were under the direction of C. D. Fowle.
Projects at the Wildlife Re.search Station. .Algonquin Park—
Small Mammals: Studies of fluctuations and turn-over in small mammal populations
continued. A series of animals were examined for parasites, in co-operation with
the (Ontario Research Foundation.
Small Bird Populations: Using the census technique developed in the past several
summers, the variations in density and species composition of the l)ir(l populations in
two distinct forest environments were studied.
Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 120
Ruffed Grouse: Field studies on the territorial behaviour and movements of ruffed
grouse were carried out at a reduced scale during the year. A few male birds were
banded on the study area, and some observations on birds banded previously were
made.
Bird Banding: Sixty-eight birds of fourteen species were banded during 1950.
Autopsies: A number of bears, deer and other mammals and birds were autopsied in
co-operation with the Ontario Research Foundation.
Other Projects — Beckwith Island Grouse Project: The object of this study is to stock
a relatively isolated island in Georgian Bay with disease-free ruffed grouse; to observe
the population growth, incidence of parasitism and disease, and habitat selection, in
the hope of throwing some light on the causes of regular fluctuations observed in
grouse populations. During the year, fourteen ruffed grouse were successfully reared
at the Department's Pheasant Farm at Codrington, and transferred to Beckwith
Island in September. Subsequent surveys will reveal the success of this introduction.
Woodcock Project: The object of this study is to determine migration routes through
Ontario, and thereby establish the sources of woodcock shot by hunters in Southern
Ontario in the fall. Preliminary work was begun when a party made a search of
Manitoulin Island for young birds to band.
Deer Project: A field party continued the survey, begun in 1949, of deer problems in
Northern Ontario. Information was gathered on such aspects as distribution and
abundance, classification of habitat, analysis of browse conditions, distribution and
extent of hunting pressure, and history of the northern extension of the deer range.
Checks v/ere made of .several thousand hunters at road blocks, chiefly in Southern
Ontario, to provide information on hunting success, and on sex and age composition
of the harvest. The age class study, begun in 1949. was continued, to try to develop
a method of determining age of bucks by antler measurements. Sportsmen con-
tributed about 400 heads from bucks and does for study.
Habitat Improvement: Studies of methods of improving wildlife habitat in agricultural
areas were continued. Six thousand Rosa tnulti flora seedlings were planted on a
variety of sites on privately owned land, in order to test winter hardiness, tolerance
of competition and soils. Some experimental plantations of other species have been
established and propagation of various experimental plants from cuttings and seed
was continued at the Southern Research Station. In the fall and early winter of 1950
a quantity of seed was collected from a number of native and ornamental shrubs for
testing in 1951.
Laboratory Studies: Since the work of the Wildlife Food Habits Laboratory at the
Royal Ontario ^Museum of Zoology was taken over in April of 1950. considerable work
has been done in preparing the collection for transfer to new quarters at the
Southern Research Station. The entire collection of over 1.000 mammals stomachs,
as well as about 3,000 of the 13,000 bird stomachs have been re-organized and
catalogued. Food analysis has been completed on the stomachs of moose (4). beaver
(10), fish (34), marten (3), timber wolves (30), and goshawk (1). Thirty-eight wolf
scats were also analysed.
Page 121 Division of Research
Throughout the year co-operation was effected with several outside agencies.
The Department of Parasitology. Ontario Research Foundation, maintained a research
group at the Wildlife Research Station in Algonquin Park. Several graduate students
from the University of Toronto also worked there. The Station was made available
to the University for a two weeks field course in September.
Statistics
In 1948 the Division decided to make greater use of the rapidly expanding
science of statistics as standard practice in order to improve the design of its
exp>eriments.
The work is under the direction of Dr. D. B. DeLury on a consultancy basis,
assisted by L. M. Morrison, a full-time Department employee, with respect to both
initiation and implementation of projects.
The heaviest project of the year 1950-51 related to the compilation of volume
tables for Southern Ontario hardwoods, to which reference is made elsewhere in this
report under the heading of "Forest Growth."'
A second major project was the analysis of an experiment relating to a study
of the effect of seed pelleting on tree seed germination. Reference is made to the
pelleting study elsewhere in this report under the heading of "Seed Treatment."
An experiment was statistically designed for the Division of Reforestation to
study methods of transplanting tree seedlings from nursery beds.
A statistical design was developed to study the effect of fertilizers on combating
"damping-off"' fungi in red pine seedlings in nursery beds. .
A design was provided for a study of the condition in which forest areas are
left after cutting in the Cochrane-Kapuskasing area.
The application of statistical design and analysis to the research projects
of the Division has again proven to be valuable.

DIVISION OF SURVEYS AND ENGINEERING
The primary requirements of any attempt of the intelligent use of our natural
resources and to solve the problem of the proper use of land and water is to have
available accurate maps showing topography, drainage systems, types of soil and
mineral resources. These maps make possible accurate description of the location
of places or areas to be served. It is impossible to estimate the value of proper maps
and aerial photographs to both Government agencies and industry and their value
is many times their cost.
Through the arrangement made with the Army Survey Establishment of the
Department of National Defence, four more sheets of the National Topographical
Map Series, on a scale of two miles to an inch, have been completed and provisional
prints of live other sheets are being checked before being printed. These maps may
be obtained through this Department at nominal charges. During this year, 2,250
of these maps were issued, being an increase of over 300 '^'r over the previous year.
During this year, power developments at Des Joachims and the Chenaux on
the Ottawa River, Pine Portage on the Nipigon River and the Tunnel Development
on the Mississagi River, were completed. The total installed capacity of these plants
will be 776.000 horsepower. This will increase the revenue derived from water power
rental by a substantial amount.
The number of parcels of Crown Lands surveyed for summer resort locations
was again increased The surveys of 1.737 parcels were completed, the plans
examined and checked and descriptions prepared so that patents could be issued.
This additional work made it necessary to increase the number employed both on
the field work and in the office staff. Marked progress has been made in meeting
the back-log of applications for resort parcels created during the post war period.
The Department used a survey party composed of members of its own staff on this
type of work.
Space was secured in part for a pre-fabricated quonset hut for storage space
for survey equipment and miscellaneous and survey and engineering plans. This
hut was constructed by the Department of Public Works at the Research Station,
Maple, Ontario.
The necessary legislation having been passed by both of the Provincial and
the Federal Parliaments to accept the boundary between the Provinces of Ontario
and Manitoba, as surveyed on the ground from Island Lake to Hudson's Bay,
arrangements were made to have permanent monuments established along this
boundary. An inspection was made of these monuments and the report of the
Boundary Commissioners is being prepared.
The portion of the photography and mapping, undertaken by the Aerial
Surveys Section of this Division, as part of the Forest Resources Inventory, having
been nearly completed, there was less amount of this type of work carried out during
the year. The members of the staff of that Section were used to prepare soil maps
for the Research Division and also, to prepare new maps showing additional
information obtained from the planimetric maps for townships that had not been
subdivided and where only the township outlines had been surveyed. This Section
will continue to photograph and map additional areas in the western part of the
Page 125 Division of Surveys and Engineering
Province that were not included in the original Forest Inventory Program. It
will be necessary to re-photograph areas that have been cut over or burnt over so that
this information may be added to the maps already prepared and in order to keep
the maps up to date.
In addition to the retracement surveys required for the survey of summer
resort locations, as listed in this report, a large number of township lot corners were
re-established and marked with permanent monuments during the survey of other
locations. This is helping to perpetuate the original surveys particularly in those
portions of the Province where the land is not suitable for agricultural purposes.
Aerial Surveys Section in co-operation with the University of Toronto and
the Research Council of Ontario were engaged in a program in research of the
possibilities of obtaining greater detail from the negatives by the process of "unsharp
masking".

Private Surveys on Crown Lands
Under authority of Section 37 of the Public Land Regulations, 1737 summer
resort locations were surveyed and the returns of survey filed in the Department for
examination and approval. Seven hundred and eighty-two surveys of this number were
surveyed under direct Departmental instructions to the surveyor, where the applicant
paid in the survey fee to the District Office, as specified under Section 37 of the
Public Land Regulations and amendments thereto. This is an increase of 302 surveys
over the fiscal year ending March 31. 1950, and represents a new all-time high for the
number of surveys completed during any previous fiscal year. It can be expected
that the past fiscal year will represent the peak year for the number of summer resort
location surveys made on Crown Lands during any fiscal year.
Under the provisions of the ^Mining Act. some 490 Mining Claims were
surveyed and the returns of survey filed for examination and approval. This is an
increase of some 70 Mining Claim surveys made during the fiscal year ending March
31, 1950.
During the past year, 247 descriptions were written for parts of township lots
to be incorporated in Letters Patent to be issued by the Department under the
Division of Land and Recreational Areas.

Map Publications and Geographic Nomenclature
Due to the necessity of completing the work required for the nomenclature
shown on the map sheets of the Forest Resources Inventory much of the regular
work of this office has been held in abeyance, thereby reducing the volume of work
ordinarily presented as accomplished during a year's time. Noted below are the
details of the major portions of such work:
494 map sheets of the Forest Inventory series were checked and completed
regarding the nomenclature with attendant referencing, etc., from all known sources
of information.
Complete lists of names were compiled for use in the compilation of 6 topo-
graphic maps (at 2 m. to 1") being produced by the Army Survey Establishment,
Department of National Defence.
At the request of Federal mapping offices, 12 other maps of the National
Topographic Series were checked for revised nomenclature prior to new editions
being produced; also 2 Hydrographic charts were treated in the same manner.
Steady progress has been made on the revision of the topography and nomen-
clature of our own map No. 24B of the Districts of Algoma, Sudbury, Timiskaming
and parts of Districts of Cochrane and Nipissing; this large map, at the scale of
8 miles to 1 inch, will be completed and reproduced during 1951 and will present in
reduced scale the major detail shown on the Forest Inventory base maps.

Considerable work has been done on the revision of our Geographic Names
Index during the iirst six months of the fiscal year but lack of clerical staff since
that time has prevented further progress on this phase of our work.
The distribution of the map sheets of the National Topographic Series, on a
scale of 2 miles to the inch, prepared for us by the Army Survey Establishment.
Department of National Defence, from detail shown on the planimetric maps
produced in connection with the Forest Resources Inventory Program, has in-
creased considerably during the past year. Available for distribution this year were
the following four sheets of this series:
NAME LONGITUDE LATITUDE
Cartier..._ 81 ° to 82 ° 46 ° 30' to 47 ° 00'
Capreol. „ 80° to 81° 46°30' to 47°0G'

Proofs only were received for five other of these map sheets, namely Maple Mountain,
Westree, Elk Lake, Gogama, and Smooth Rock.
Map Distribution
The distribution of lithographed maps of the National Topographic Series,
relative to Ontario as iniblished by the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys
in Ottawa, the Army Survey I^stablishment of the Department of National Defence
and Provincial issues distributed bv this Division, continues to increase.
Report of the Department of Lands and Forests for fiscal year ending March 31, 1951 Page 130
The popularity of the small sectional maps is increasing, particularly on the
2 mile scale, as shown by the quantity distributed of the sheets compiled from Forest
Resources Inventory information. The decrease in distribution of our District, island
and miscellaneous maps is caused by several of our District map sheets being out
of print, and new maps with additional information being prepared.
The following list shows the quantity distributed during the past year. The
trend of distribution over a fourteen year period is shown on the attached chart.

National Topographic Series
The National Topographic Series maps distributed this year again showed an
increase over the previous years. Of the total number of sheets obtained, 5,101 were
supplied without charge by the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys, Ottawa,
for the official use of this Department, including the various administrative district
offices; 11,288 map sheets were purchased, of which approximately 1,800 were dis-
tributed without charge for official use.
The Department of Travel and Publicity were supplied with 379 map sheets
for free distribution for tourist publicity purposes. Approximately 27% of the total
sheets are distributed without charge.
Provincial Maps
The total distribution of Provincial maps shows a slight decrease this year.
This was caused, no doubt, by the fact that Maps 24B, 25A, and 25B, and 32C,
were out of print. Map No. 20A shows an increase, due to the educational program
instituted in the schools on map reading.
Provincial maps distributed over the counter for official Departmental use
of this and other Departments amounted to some 1,000 copies. This figure does not
include those used by Administrative District Offices. The Department of Travel
and Publicity obtained 43 district maps for tourist publicity purposes.

Public Requests for Maps and Survey Records
Counter Sales 3,442

The total revenue collected for maps and reproduction of survey records was
as follows:
Page 131 Division of Surveys and Engineering
Over the Counter __ $ 2,668.34
By Mail ..„ $ 9,531.78
$12,200.12
The reduction during the past year in the number of invoices issued is due
to, ( 1 ) the consolidation of a number of requests from the same customer to one
invoice; (2) The Registrar General's Branch withdrawing their photostat work;
(3) The elimination of invoicing by requesting the public to forward their remittance
in advance with their request, when possible.
Photostating
46,725 square feet of photostatic paper was used for the reproduction of
documents and records for this and other Departments.
105 of the oldest original survey field note books, totalling 4,187 pages, and
ranging from 100 to 150 years old, were reproduced photographically to approximately
twice the size. These are to be used for reference and copying purposes to eliminate
the handling of these very old and valuable records.
Printing .and Tr.ansparent Linen Reproductions
Almost 60.000 square feet of sensitized paper, opaque linen and transparent
linen, was used for the reproductions of survey plans as follows:
Transparent Linen 1,713 square feet
Opaque Linen - 438 square feet
OCE and Blue printing (for public use) 28,318 square feet
OCE and Blue printing (for official use) 29,042 square feet
Total . 59,511 square feet
Approximately half of the square footage used this year was for the official
use of this Department, the other being used for resale to the public and other
Departments of the Government. The use of transparent linen reproductions to
eliminate hand drawn copies of survey plans for filing in Land Titles and Registry
Offices, was doubled over that used last year.
Book Binding
The work of repairing and rebinding the original survey field notes and other
survey records was carried on throughout the year. In addition. 127 municipal
survey field note books and 50 of the photostatic copies of the oldest original Crown
Survey field note books were bound.
Microfilming
The microfilming of rolled survey plans was undertaken this year, and
approximately half of the total number of plans on record were done. The number
of plans completed was 3,027, which amounted to 11,548 exposures (negatives);
20 rolls of positive film were made of miscellaneous notes, plans, etc., amounting to
2,000 exposures (positive).
A new and cheap method of obtaining reduced small scale prints from the
Forest Resources Inventory planimetric base maps was tried this year by microfilming
for the use of the Geographic staff, for comjiiling the manuscripts for the new i.ssue
of Map 24B. This consisted of microfilming 362 of the base maps from which enlarged

prints were made to the scale of 3.95 miles to the inch. Only the main topographical
features required were inked over and traced directly on to the manuscript.
Map Mounting and Preservation
114 original township survey plans were treated with a cellulose wash finish
to preserve and protect the surface. During the year, 106 maps or plans were mounted
in various ways. These included original survey plans for this Section and new survey
plans for the Patents. Land Titles and Registry Offices.
Survey Records
4,800 rolled survey plans were cleaned and given a new filing number, and
transferred from the old pigeon hole filing system to new steel drawer filing cabinets.
This included some 750 original Railway Right of Way plans, transferred from the
Department of Public Works.
The handling of original survey records plans and field notes continued to be
a major item through the year due to the extensive activity in highway, hydro, summer
resort and other phases of survey work.
Field Survey Party Equipment and Supply
The equipping and supplying of 4 field survey parties for Crown summer
resort work in the Muskoka and Parry Sound Districts, and for survey inspection
work, was taken care of during the year. Major field survey party equipment purchased
during the year included a new International panel truck which was outfitted as a
mobile survey unit. A boat trailer for use with the truck was constructed, and a
16-foot outboard boat was built by the staff of one of the Districts for our use. A
quantity of 1" and -j^" iron survey bars, and preliminary survey summer resort
location tags were purchased and distributed amongst the various District Offices, where
they will be required for the coming summer's survey program.
The new larger storage space, consisting of approximately 1,000 square feet in
a building built for the use of this Division, and the Division of Research, was
completed by the Department of Public Works on this Department's Southern
Experimental Station property at Maple, for the storage of survey equipment and
supplies. The part occupied is the centre section of a prefabricated "Quonset" hut
which was divided into 2 iloors, and the walls insulated. The second floor is con-
structed on pillars, and is entirely free from the walls, as no weight can be attached
to the laminated ribs of the hut itself. The l)uilding is heated by steam, with a blower
system from an oil burning furnace. This also provides additional storage space for
duplicate and other survey records not in constant use.
Provincial Air Photographic Library
Approximately 1,000 photographs covering points in Southern Ontario, from
photography made by our Aerial Surveys Section, with a few key maps, were prepared
by the Aerial Surveys Section for the Provincial Air Photographic Library this year.
In this connection also, the Forest Resources Inventory Section of the Division of
Timber Management obtained and stored a number of prints of their planimetric base
maps ready for the keying of the photographs.

AERIAL SURVEYS SECTION
The process of ''unsharp masking" has been developed in co-operation with
the University of Toronto and the Research Council of Ontario. It is a method of
printing aerial photographs, in which the "dodging", or variation of light intensity
behind various sections of the negative (which is usually carried out by the use of
a large number of small individually controlled lights) is accomplished by using a
fuzzy diapositive. This is made from the negative itself and fastened in register
behind it. Thus, the dense portions of the negative receive proportionately more light
than the thin; at the same time, the contrast between images of contiguous fine detail
points is preserved. At present this method is in use in this Department for special
prints where the ultimate in detail perception is required. The Hydro-Electric Power
Commission has requested that all their enlargements and contact prints for mosaics
and contouring, be unsharp masked.
During the past fiscal year the vertical photography carried out by the
Aerial Surveys Section totalled 3,471 square miles.
Of this total, 656 square miles were for our own Department and 2,815 square
miles were for other Government Departments. A table showing a breakdown of these
figures is submitted herewith.
During this same period the expenditure was $50,698.18 and the revenue
$33,479.54.

FOREST RESOURCES INVENTORY
The contract for photography and mapping of the Photographic Survey
Corporation was completed during the year and the contract terminated in accordance
with its terms and conditions on March 31st, 1951.
During the year 5.062 square miles of photography was added to the area
photographed under contract making a total area for the contract 127,472 square
miles. The area originally estimated to be photographed and mapped under contract
was 125,000 square miles. An area of 1,502 square miles was photographed by the
Department during the current year making a total of 27,203 square miles photo-
graphed by the Department under the inventory program.
The mapping program for the year was made up of 32,982 square miles under
contract and an additional area of 1,900 square miles mapped by the Department
making a total area of 34,882 square miles mapped during the year on the inventory
program.
Field sampling was completed on an area of 18,440 square miles making a
total area completed to date of 54,560 square miles.
Three interim reports were prepared during the year giving timber volume
summaries by Districts as follows:
1. North Bay District issued October, 1950
2. Timiskaming District issued February, 1951
3. Cochrane District issued February, 1951

square miles. Reports have already been received covering forest inventories on
25,000 square miles and master plans on 20,000 square miles.
Early in 1950, the Minister approved of the Management Plan of the Petawawa
Management Unit. Operations under the plan commenced during the following logging
season and the co-operating companies have since demonstrated their ability to work
under regulations which provide for the protection and development of future crops
on the same area on a comparatively short cutting cycle.
In general, the control of cutting operations has advanced in line with the
increase of timber management staff in the Districts. Standardization of procedures
in connection with the submission of annual cutting applications, the District
Forester's reports on timber sale applications and the reports of inspectors and scalers
have immensely facilitated the handling of these matters in the Department. The
monthly reports dealing with cutting operations with their constant check on each
logging camp have exerted a great influence and improvement in cutting practices.
TIMBER S.^ES 1950-51
Details of the 56 new sales of timber made during the season indicate that
187.25 square miles of timber limits were sold.
During the season, 78 timber licences comprising 395.50 square miles, were
abandoned.
The status of the timber licensed areas in Ontario as at March 31st. 1951. was
therefore as follows:
