FORESTRY OF ILLINOIS
SHOULD BE PROTECTED

The national government is taking
increased interest in forestry. Penn
sylvania, New York, Wisconsin,, Ore
gon, Michigan, Indiana and several
New England states have legislated
of late in the interest of forest cul-
tivation and protection, but the
Prairie state of Illinois stands where
it stood ten years ago.
New York recently took steps to-
ward the better protection of the
Adirondack forests, and important
amendments were made to the gen
eraI forestry laws of the state.
Pennsylvania, however, has taken the
new forestry legislation, and the for
estry reservation commission, pro-
vided under the law of 1901, has in
augurated progressive forestry
system, with special application to
the 325, 900 acres of woodland owned
by the state. In addition, the last
Legislation enacted laws to encour-
age cultivate of forest and to pre-
vent forest fires.
In Indiana Il state board of forestry
has been created to look after forest
preservation and to select sites for
state forest reserves. Maine and New
Hampshire were up to 1900 the only
New England states with adequate
forestry laws, but in 1901 Connecticut
took forward step, and a state for
ester was appointed to look after the
reforestation of barren lands and to
purchase lands for Il state forestry
reserve. In Massachusetts the old
statute regarding premiums on tim
Der has been amended.
In Wisconsin change was made
in the forest fire system, looking to
Il better enforcement of protective
laws. In Colorado an important act
was passed for forest preservation.
In Oregon new legislation for the pre-
servation and protection of forest and
game was enacted. In Michigan
lands were set aside as part of a
state forest reserve placed under
the control of the forest commission.
This was i'm accordance with the act
of 1899 inaugurating a forestry sys-
tenn and Withdrawing from sale,
state tax, homestead. and swamp
lands. with view to establishing a
forest reserve.
In Illinois, where the reports of the
agricultural department give for
est area of 100000 acres, there has
been no recent legislation in the inter
est of forest extension or preserva-
ton. We have the laws providing
that township trustee may pay a
bounty for the encouragement of
tree planting. and may take measures
for the planting of trees along road
ways and for the observance of Ar
bnr day.
Without any more encouragement
than is given under these laws, hun
dreds of thousands of trees have been
planted in Illinois. but the state. as
such. has given little attention to
forestry matters.
The experiments of the last fifty
years have shown what trees grow
hest in our prairie soil, and also
what benefits come from tree plant
ing What we need is forestry sys-
tenn looking to the preservation of
the groves and forests that we have.
as well as to the making of new ones.
The legislature should see to ii that
such system is established.

The formal announcements of +. y.
Fender and w. G., Maucker for the

appearing. Both are representative
citizens, both have served several
