the party which lett the city this evening To day rank Miller of the Unit ed States bureau of forestry read a paper on arm which was followed by an interesting discus sion by Hon George Horton mas ter of the state grange In Mr Mil opinion the planting of forest trees for protection and ornament is commendable but too much planting has been done he thought with those objects In view Too little attention has been paid to planting for profit and to this omission is frequently due a failure to attain fully the other two objects mentioned A well kept wood lot is not only a source of revenue in the posts cordwood and materials for farm repairs it furnishes but it gives character and adds beauty to the home The appreciating prices of the products of the woodlot the ease with which such a plantation lends Itself to rational management and the Increas ing Interest in timber culture all ar gue In favor of extensive commercial planting Master Horton has one of the few pieces of original forests existing in southern Michigan and be exhibited pictures of a grand oak twenty four feet in circumference which is still growing on his farm He is an ad vocate of a law exempting forest pre serves on agricultural lands from taxation Thomas Sherrord gave a good paper on the orest Pre An estimate was given of the possible production of a second crop of timber on these lands An organ ization was recommended for the prac tical management of the preserve which it was estimated would cost $3000 a year or five cents per acre The prime necessity for the mainten ance of a fire service during danger ous seasons was urged Mr Sherrord has practical knowledge of the condi tions existing on the forestry pre serve and bls' address was one of the most valuable of the meeting Walter Winchester of Grand Rapids spoke as a practical lumber man on Michigan 'hardwood forests He described the conditions at present and reviewed the operations of the lumber industries lum berman buying timber lands to said Mr Winchester is naturally not in sympathy with the principles of All the products of the forest are utilized even the ferns growing in the timber are picked and sold in the Chicago market to florists In Mr view' the taxes on timber lands are very high and some remedy must be found in the way of a rebate of taxes to persons who are willing to hold their lands after cutting off the mature timber In his opinion the undergrowth which springs up very rapidly on hemlock and cedar lands will keep the ground from drying out The protection of trees of fifty years' growth and under is necessary to preserve large areas of hardwood lands for a new crop The enactment of taxation laws was urged with this object in view which would make it a business propositiou Chippewa orest Reservation was the title of a paper by Herman Chapman superintend ent of the State Experiment farm at Grand 'Rapids Minn Mr Chapman outlined the forest conditions existing in Minnesota which led to the recent action of congress in establishing the Chippewa forest reserve One third of the state of Minnnesota is pine land which has been cut over A great por tion of it is unfit for farming and the problem for determination is what shall be done with it? The difficulties in the way of forest reproduction on lands long cut over and abandoned to fires and brush were set forth Mr Chapman held that practical! steps should be taken at the time of cut ting the pine Reforesting should be directeo either by state or national authority and in Minnesota the best opportunity lay in the direction of na tional control The recent bill provides for a forest reserve of 200000 acres to ba under the control of the chief of the bureau of forestry in the United States department of agriculture who shall regulate the cutting of the timber save seed trees and protect from fire Mr Chapman expressed the belief that under wise administration of this ftieasure the pine may be perpetualiy renewed on this tract Action Commentlrd The following resolutions were adopted: That this convention of the American orestry Association heartily commends the action of the state of Michigan in establishing a forest reserve in Roscommon and Crawford counties at the head waters of the principal rivers of thelower peninsula rom data based upon criti cal and scientific Inspection of the ter ritory having regard to soil climate' and past and present tree growth pre sented to us by national and state experts the conclusion is reached that the Michigan forest reserve lands are i generally of small agricultural value but a especially to the growth of pine and certain other trees which flourish on sanffy soil The cre ation of a permanent forest cover for that region will preserve and regulate the water supply of the outflowing riv ers will furnish shelter for our fast diminishing game and there will be found great sanitarium to which the people may go for rest and healing and finally when the forest becomes fairly grown it will con produce a substantial revenue and become eventually a profitable financial investment for the state" Gov Btfaa Against orest Re serves This afternoon there was a general discussion under the leadership of Ar thur Hill of Saginaw of the duty of state in forest matters Among acse who spoke on this subject was Gov Bliss who expressed the opinionhat it would be unwise to reserve vast tracts of land for this
