THE HARVARD FOREST.

The Harvard forest. at Petersham.
Mass. is the most valuable asset OF
the division of forestry. IL is believed
TO be the only forest in America which
is intensively cultivated. in which by
cutting. thinning, seeding and the
planting of seedlings on the larger
bare areas the whole tract IS made TO
produce all that IL is able TO grow, so
that there is ready for harvest every
year the largest possible amount of
mature. merchantable lumber.
This forest Of 1000 acres is more
over. self supporting. II has paid its
own expenses (not including of course
the salaries OF the lnstructors) and
has earned profit since the begin
ming of its operation under Prof Fish
or in 1908. This financial record is
unusual and is believed 10 be unique
In this country.
When the chairman Of the division
of forestry took over the forest in
1908 he told President Eliot that 1t
would earn that year certain gross
n oft. II actually earned n larger one
than had been promised says the
Harvard Alumni Bulletin. and half Of
the gross profit was net profit. This
record has been equalled or exceeded
in every subsequent year
