Forestry Needs Big, u. S. Service
Says-Importance of the Lake States
Forest Experiment station, recently
located at the University of Mime
sofa by the United States govern
ment, was emphasized in a recent
statement issued in Washington by
the United States forest service,
which said in part:
'sThe forest problems in the Lake
states are exceedingly. great, and it
is expected that the forest expert
ment station will aid the progress of
forestry as much as the agricultural
experiment stations have aided the
progress of agriculture. Few farm
ers would expect to make a profit
from wheat, corn, hay, or orchards
if they gave no care or attention to
the growing crops. Certainly the
farmers do not attmpt to raise crops
merely by harvesting what nature
probes in the the way of volunteer
growth without any preparation of
the soil, without fertilizer, with no
selection of varieties, with no Guilt
walton or wedding, no protection
against fires, insects or disease. Yet
this is the way we have so far treated
our forest lands and the conditions
in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan show it at the present time.
zone of the primary objects of the
Lake States Forest Experiment sta
ton will be to develop ways and
means of making the cutover and
lands once again pro-
ductive. The station will gather bas-
ic facts about forest renewal, and
forest growth, so. that it will be pos
sible for the region to maintain the
various lumber and paper industries
on a permanent and sustained basis.
