gregate zoos acres of forest, which
from now on will receive the benefits
of improved handling and more econo-
mic use. The forests of the State
have been mapped and estimated, and
complete reports prepared for many
of the courties.
In the same length of time a quarter
of a million young forest trees have
been planted by the Board, $4,000 60
ing toward the reforestation of waste
lands within the State, and the re-

State Forestry Nursery at College

trees best adapted to local conditions
of soil and climate are furnished at
cost to landowners who may desire
them for the improvement of roads
and streets. or retaining waste lands
with forest trees.
The passage of the Roadside Tree
Law Chapter 924, Acts of 1914 at
the last session of the Legislature was
instrumental in placing all publicly
owned trees under the supervision and
care of the State Board of Forestry,
at the same time making the unau-
thorized posting of advertising mat

meanor. In the six months in which
the trimming and cutting of Roadside
Trees has been done under the direct
supervision of State Forest Wardens,
a total of $500 trees have been cut or
trimmed according to the best me-
thods of tree surgery. Not only those
whose property adjoins these trees
along the roads, but the pole-line COM
panies who have had to do the work,
are ready to agree that the new law is
working out for the distinct improve
