SMALL TREES TO
BE SPARED IN
sS STATE FORESTS

Ms go = II x ! Z
St. Paul, Mimi, Oct 1 "A legal
opinion sent to, J. A. o. Preus, state
auditor, by Attorney General Smith
will make possible scientific timber
cutting on state lands and will permit
refor as contendeds for by
Mr.. Preus and State Forester Cox.
&sOn October Is the state. timber
board is due to issue permits for the
cutting of timber on about 25,OOO,-
900 acres of state lands. Mr.. Preus
insisted that on lands of non-agri-
cultural nature these permits should
require scientific timber cutting and
reforestration.
In opposition to this plea there
was produced state law which set
forth that all timber cutting permits
must specify that the timber be cut
clean from the state lands. Mr..
Preus opposed this vigorously and
recently sent to the attorney general
an exhibition permit which provided
that the timber board might specify
that those buying permits must
leave standing all trees less than
eight inches in diameter "a feet from
the ground. It is this permit which
Attorney General Smith approves.
