The larger private holdings contain
about seventeen hundred billion feet.
these holdings generally include the
best timber in the regions in which
they occur, since private capital al.

of the lumber which is used today.

CBy r. S. KELLOGG


Most OF the forests in the United
States are privately owned. Approx
imately 20 per cent. OF the standing
timber in the country is held by the
federal government in national for
ests, Indian reservations. national
parks and on the unreserved public
domain, and by the states in the state
reserves or other state lands. These
public forests contain more than 1907
100000 acres OF saw timber.
The estimated total amount of
standing saw timber controlled by
the federal government is 44S.S60. .595
M. board feet. The most of this tim
ber is, of course. in national forests.
In addition to the above amount. there
are perhaps seventy-ive billion feet
held by the states either In reserves
or upon lands of various classes.
The private forests are of two dis
tinct classes. "a farmers woodlots
and (2) large holdings. either indi-
vidual or corporate. The farmers
woodlots are chiefly scattered and de-
tached remnants Of the original for

Although the work has not attracted
great deal of attention outside oil
New England. it is nevertheless a fact
that the United States department OF
agriculture has been expending ABOUT
100000 annually in New Hampshire
in an heroic effort to exterminate the
dread browntail and gypsy moth pests.
In addition, the legislatures Of New
Hampshire and Massachusetts have
set aside smaller sums to help ON the
work. Both pests continue to advance
over an overwhelming area, SO that II
will not be long before other states
which now neglect the opportunity Oh
warding off trouble will find them
selves engaged in the same battle.
The widest variety of devices for
killing off the pests have been put
into service One of the most success
full of these was the so-called Hannl-
gan moth pot" which consisted in
the essence of a faring pot and
quantity of burning crude oil. At
first these were set upon the ground
in commons and other open places but
later they were hung from the mast
arms of street lamps, the best loca-
tion being found to be about three
feet back from the arc lamp. meas
ured along the mast arm, and three
feet below. Even at this distance,
however. the heavy black smoke from
the smudge soiled the arm and was in
several ways disagreeable.
