The Need of the Forests.

Scientific research says the SYRIA
cuse Post-Standard, has much to teach
us as to the possibilities Of removing
lumber without damaging the forests;
but numbering, as it is understood at
present, has nothing to do with scien-
tifc forestry. The state of New
York never showed its superiority in
any more convincing way than when
it went into the business of buying
lands in the Adirondacks for the pur-
pose of protecting forests against
fire. The state now owns 1,352,35
acres in the Adirondacks and $4,000
in the Catskills- a total of 2,244
square miles, wood lot considerably
bigger than the state of Delaware.

There was considerable rigmarole

the same as that which had won. He
could not. he said afterward, speak.

thinks the money will come in very
