For this the Government plans a campaign of propaganda, and it will assist and encourage private planting in every possible way, among others by the free use of public land tow lying idle, by the distribution wherever possible of the best species of seeds or young plants: gratuitously or at cost price, by the establishment of demonstration stations at which farmers of the district can be shown the methods which they could adopt with profit to themselves, and measures. On similar many other account of the cheapness of labour, the presence of available idle public land. and the phenomenally high price brought by forest products of all kinds, forestry is financially more profitable in China than in any other country in the work." The intentions of the Government are excellent, but the present plans for the creation of forests strike one as being woefully inadequate. For the nost, part it consists of an appeal to all students to each plant a tree on Arbour Day at some, selected site in the district. "Every little helps," of course, but the propaganda does not appear to have been a very pronounced success so far. We

students of Canton plant as many trees as would equal the weekly average of the Afforestation Department in Hongkong: and we fear, moreover, that forests have net much chance to grow in China while political conditions are what they are and the humble dweller has reason to complain so often of the high price of firewood. Still, taking into consider tion the pressing need for forestry in Chian, both for the products of the forest and for the influence of the forests them- selves upon stream-low and food-and- drought conditions in general, it is gratifying to, he told on competent authority that "there is every reason tu feel that forestry in China will continue to advance with ever-increasing tread, whatever way be the interruptions to the policy in China."
