FOresters Get Rules
About Regulatory Act

A three-day meeting of district for
esters, called by State Forester Joseph
F. Kaylor for a discussion of the rules
to govern timber cutting in Maryland
under the terms of a regulatory act
passed by the last Legislature, was
held at the Baltimore headquarters
of the Department of State Forests
and Parks from December % to 30
Among those in attendance was dis
trict forester William H. johnson, of
Cumberland representing Western
Maryland Administration of the act
will get under way on January 1
A total of eight regulations, formu-
lated by the Commission of State
Forests and Parks under the terms of
the act, will govern woods operations
and provide for safety measures
against forest fires throughout Mary
land. Included in these is the require
ment that a designated number Of
sound young trees of commercial
species shall be left per acre after lum-
bcring to ensure an adequate timber
growing stock for the future. Except
under certain conditions, clear cutting
Of timber is prohibited.
In the case of special forest pro-
ducts, such as fuelwood, pulpwood
mine timbers, posts and crosstics,
specifications are laid down for the
kind Of trees that may ordinarily be
cut for such purposes. Among meas
ures in the interest of public safety
is the stipulation that, in the spring
and fall, debris and brush may be
burned only between the hours of
p. M and u midnight EST. Control
measures to ensure that such fires
will not escape are also outlined.
A district forestry board to admin
lister the law has already been APP
pointed for Garrett County. Boards
for Allegany and Washington coun-
ties will be appointed later on.
