Forester A. C. Silvius in charge of the 

 Buflralo State Forest in Pennsylvania has 

 established a recreation park within his 

 forest. It has been named Crystal Spring 

 Park, covers an area of about three acres, 

 and is located on one of the main highways 

 of the State. 



A forestry literature box has been in- 

 .stalled in which popular publications on 

 forestry are placed. These publication.s 



are a source of recreation to the visitors 

 during their stay at the park, and a means 

 of dissetninating information pertaining to 

 forestry, for the publications are free of 

 charge and may be taken home by the visi- 

 ! tors. -Approximately 2,000 bulletins and 

 leaflets have been distributed during the 

 past four months. Forester Silvius is using 

 this practical means of convincing the 

 guests who visit the park that he is trying 

 to give them real service and the Buf- 

 falo Forest is open to the public and being 

 developed so that it will yield large <iuanti- 

 ties of desirable wood and furnish the best 

 form of recreation to all who are fortunate 

 enough to visit it. 



District Forester Walter D. Ludwig, 

 Johnstown, Pennsylvania, reports that a 

 number of destructive forest fires occurred 

 during the first week of July. At this sea- 

 son of the year forest fires are usually rare, 

 but on July 4 a fire started which destroyed 

 more than $1,000 worth of pulpwood be- 

 longing to the West Virginia Pulp and 

 Paper Company. 



Hereafter any person who desires to 

 make a business of pruning shade trees in 

 Johnstown, Pennsylvania, must pass an ex- 

 amination given by District Forester 

 Walter D. Ludwig. If the applicant satis- 

 fies the requirements of the examiner, a 

 license is issued to him upon tlie payment 

 of a one dollar fee. 



VIRGINIA 

 C EEDLINGS and transplants for refor- 

 estation in Virginia will be available 

 for the first tiine this fall planting season 

 from the Virginia State Forest Nursery. 



Evergreens are being grown exclusively 

 up-to-date. They include three species of 

 pine an'j Norway Spruce. The pines are 

 the well-known white pine (pinus strobus), 

 which is native throughout the mountainous 

 parts of the State and the higher parts of 

 the Piedmont section; the shortleaf pine 

 (pinus echinata), which is the predominat- 

 ing tree in the Piedmont section of the 

 State, and is also found over much of the 

 inountainous part; and the loblolly pine 

 (pinus taeda), which is decidedly the pre- 

 dominating tree in the Tidewater or Coast- 

 al Plain section of the State, and occurs 

 scatteringly, and grows rapidly in the Pied- 

 mont section of the State. These three 

 pines are expected to predominate in re- 

 forestation in Virginia, each in its own 

 section of the State, because of their rapid 

 growth, dense stands, and early and large 

 yields of much-needed material. 



The Norway spruce has been planted 

 with much success in many of the Northern 

 States, and is expected to thrive in Vir- 

 ginia, at least in fairly cool and moist 

 situations. It also grows rapidly and in 

 dense stands, producing useful wood. 



The number of trees which are expected 

 to be available for use this fall and next 

 spring is as follows : white pine, trais-
