FORESTRY INVESTIGATION.

The Division of Forestry will con- tinue the investigation of Pacific coast timber begun last summer, and several parties will start in June or earlier Tor the redwood belt of California and the red fir forest of Washington. The ob- ject is to compare the reproduction with the present depletion and to in vestg gate the possibility of reforesting logged-off lands. There will be from fifteen to twenty-five men in each state. Most of the work will be done by young college men under the direction of government forest experts.
 The research will be carried on in pursuance of system which under- takes by ascertaining the rate of growth and general life history of an existing forest to foretell the behavior of future one growing under like con ditiOns. Measurements will be made and the age found of several thousand trees in the logging districts, and large tracts will be cruised and surveyed to , find lhe stand of timber in varying sit nations. By measuring the annual rings of tree at several sections. an expert can determine not only it's age but at what stage it grew fastest, when it reached maturity, and the exact | amount of wood added during any per iod By obtaining these figures for large areas it will be possible to com pute the time necessary to raise suc- cessive crops in the Pacific timber regions.
 This work will be especially valuable to owners of timber lands who are in doubt as to the profit of paying taxes on their property after it has been | lOpped
