JOSEPH T. RoTHRook of the State !
Forestry Commission has purchased
about ten thousand acres of forest !
land in the mountainous part of the !
northwest corner of Juniata county.
The land extends into Mifflin county.
It will make first rate hunting |
ground and trout fishing territory
for the next generation. Brook trout |
are plentiful in the streams that
course the tract and deer and
bear and wild cats are to be met with |
occasionally. A few years Of protec
tion for game and fish would develop
it into the finest of hunting and fish
ing ground. What Professor Roth
rock proposes to do with it is notre-
vealed to the public. The general
belief is he has purchased it for the
state. The sawable timber, that is
trees large enough to saw into
boards and plank have been cut off
the tract. 1t will take century to
GROW another cron of thick saw -lo0s

on the forestry commission. If they
approve of it, Professor Rothrock
will be looked upon as one of the
patron saints. If they disapprove of
the work, he will not be considered
in such favorable light and the land
that is now being bought in such
large quantities will again be sold to
private parties for whatever it will
bring. DR.. Rothrock ranks high as
a botanist, and what he lacks in
knowledge of trees one would have
to go far to find.
