COMMUNAL FORESTS.

Municipal forests date back to tho
tenth century and to-day about so per
cent. OF the cities and towns OF con
tinental Europe have their own forests.
Last year the municipal forest Of
Zurich, Switzerland, produced a revc-
nue. Of $50 O0. Because forest crops
differ from any agricultural GRO In
the time required to reach maturity
there Ia little incentive for private
owners to plant timber trecs-at least
private will not plant and care
for trees that arc to be harvested 100
years afterward. Private ownership
Of forests In tho past often resulted In
exploitation, while Government owner
ship makes for conservation. according
10 observers who have studied the his
tory OF forests in all countries.
Prof. James w. Tourney. head OF the
Vale School of Forestry. believes the
time is rapidly approaching when all
lands not suited for agricultural crops
will he devoted To tho growing OF for
ests.
In view of the long time involved in
bringing n forest to the point Of cut
ting. forest management is essentially
n question for Federal, State and mli-
nicipal governments. The continued
production of timber from a given
tract for an indefinite period implies
permancncy of organization. This can
best be attained in the case Of large
tracts through some form Of Govern
ment ownership,
II is Prof. Journeys idea that our
woodland parks should be handled ms

poses: % recreation places. t2) pro-
lection of water supply and prevention
Of floods, az producers of revenue.

that will plant and maintain n forest

generations If ~incalcu'ahlc value"
Many cities and towns in the United
States are taking up the question OF
municipal forestry; at least half a
million acres of communal forests have
already been established in the United
States.
The New York State College Of

publication ON this subject. "County
