STATE FORESTS

Commissioner Conklin Shows
How They Are Making
Money For State Now

In a statement issued to-day Com
missioner of Forestry Robert 5. Conk-
lin defends his stand, taken when the
budget of the Department of Forestry
was issued, that the appropriations
for forests are almost the only Penn
sylvania appropriations which are
actually invested for the State, and
which are certain to bring in d.
rect cash profit.
At Mr.. Conklin's direction summar-
les were made up of receipts and eX-
penses for the Stuart State Forest IN
Somerset and Westmoreland coun-
ties, and for the Pine Grove Forest
in Cumberland county. These ac-
counts show that the Stuart forest of
$500 acres has paid to January /,
1917, a return of per cent. on total
investment, including purchase price,
taxes, salaries. and labor charges, all
figuped with interest at per cent,
the rate the State receives for. its in

turns calculated in the same way
