will certainly be . Of interest.
and if practically and promptly
carried out, cannot fail Of producing
results gratifying to them and OF great
value to the State. Let them dedicate
and set apart for all time, five, ten,
twenty or forty acres, according TO
their means and ideas, for the perma-
nent growth of forest timber. Select q
piece Of ground naturally adapted to
the different varieties Of forest trees.

of the ground quite moist mot wet) Tor

black soil, while the oak, maple. white

planned of. That such is the practice with
