TABER PREDICTS - State For
ester w. w. Taber estimates the
Delaware's forest acreage has
dropped full 10 per cent since
1945.
The estimate is based on infor-
nation now being compiled for a
report on the state of Delaware's
woodlands.
Wen be lucky" Mr.. Taber says,
IF the drop is only 10 per cent"
He attributes diminishing forest
lands to suburban housing expan-
sion, influx of new industry, and
increasing amounts of woodland
being converted to agriculture.
Delaware's last forest survey,
made in 1945, reported that the
state had 442, 900 acres of woodlands
at that time. A 10 per cent drop
would bring the acreage below 400,-
900 acves. The state originally had
100000 acres of forest, according
to Mr., Taber.
In an effort to- reestablish forest
growth and to conserve water, the
state has been raising trees to give
to property owners who are inter-
ested in the conservation of wood
lands since 1928.
