FOREST WORK
BY THIS STATE
is Entered Upon by Opening a
Branch at the State
University.


West Virginia is the latest Of the
states to take up forestry work. A
school to teach forestry has been
opened as a branch Of the State uni
yersity at Morgantown. Coincident
with this, state association has been
formed to study and promote tree
planting and woodland protection.
The membership consists, for the
most part, Of men connected with
oranges and agricultural societies in
all parts Of the state. In addition
to this, the State Board Of Trade has
appointed committee to draft a
forest law and outline a policy
which will be laid before the legisla-
ture for action next year.
West Virginia is peculiarly prom
ising field for this work. Seventy
five per cent. of Its area is wooded
and for climatic reasons, and from
the nature OF the soil, much OF II
can never become agricultural land,
but will grow timber Of great value
Cone-bearing trees flourish on the
mountain tops, many of which rise
above 1000 feet, and broadleai
species cover the lower slopes. One
of the finest hardwood regions Of
the whole country lies in that state
The wooded mountains feed the
tributaries of several important riv-
ers, some of which, as the Mononga.
hela, Youghiogheny, Cheat, Little
Kanawha, Guyandotte and Big Sandy
flow to the Ohio and supply the chief
portion OF the water which carvles
the commerce of that great stream,
while others, as the branches Of the
Potomac, flow to the Atlantic.
Until very recently West Virginia,
like many other states, mad done lit
tie for its enormously valuable for
ests, A fire law, with no one to exc
cute 1t, was about all. But there Is
now prospect Of a vigorous policy.
The proposed Southern Appalach-
ian National Forests, If established,
will occupy some of the more import
ant submits, leaving the TANKS Of
the mountains and the steep slopes
of lesser ranges for the state to care
for and protect. Wasteful lumber
ing and the semi-annual forest fires,
have already barred large areas where
woods are of the greatest Importance
in maintaining an even flow in rivers
which rise in West Virginia but
which have much to do with the pros
perity of other states.
