Progress Reported at
Discussion of Forest
Conservancy Program

Some progress was reported regard
ing the understanding of the Forest
Consprvancy Act, which was under
discussion at a meeting in FriendsVilIe
last Friday evening.
Attending the meeting were State
forestry officials and number of
timbeImen Of the county, The purpose
was to discuss sound forest PRACTICES
proper management Of privately
owned woodland and to urge confor-
nance with regulations Of the Act.
Bernard |. Gender, a member Of
the commission of State Forests and
Parks, who presided, said that the
majority of timbcrmen were cooperat-
ing as all but about five percent of
them had registered as required each
year, paying a token license of $40.
A few of these men, however, have re-
fused to cooperate, he pointed out, and
it was with the hope of getting some
of them to talk over their grievances
that the meeting was called. Mr. Con
der was of the opinion that the in
fuence of out-of-statc operators, de
sirous of seeing every tree cleared
from a tract of timber, were the cause
of non-cooperation Of the five percent,
but felt that if they could be made to
realize the Importance of conserving
the forests, there would be one hun
bred percent cooperation.
He said where formerly 70 percent
of the county was timber land, it had
been reduced to so percent in the past
10 years or less and that our forests
were being depleted 5 percent faster
than they We're being replaced by re-
planting and natural re-growth.
To stop this wholesale destruction
of forests it was suggested that per-
sons who sold tracts of timber should
have a written agreement that only
approved practices We're to be en-
ployed in cutting the timber,
Another meeting is planned for this
summer, Mr. Gender said.
