ROOM FOR 5,000,000 SHADE TREES 



THE New York State College of 

 Forestry at Syracuse University 

 is urging the municipalities of 

 the State to take up public 

 control of street tree planting and 

 preservation in the same manner as 

 public control is exercised over other 

 street improvements. During the past 

 year the College has made investigation 

 of the shade trees in many cities and 

 towns of the State including New 

 York city, Syracuse, Binghamton, Am- 

 sterdam, Mount Vernon, Newburgh 

 and Olean. It has been found that 

 thousands of shade trees are dying 

 along the streets of the cities due to 



past mistake in selection of varieties 

 and in spacing the trees at the time of 

 planting, w^hich has forced the trees to 

 grow with weakened vitality, inviting 

 decay by tree diseases and by the attacks 

 of insect pests. There is a great need 

 for systematic work in planting trees 

 to replace those that have failed to fill 

 in the many unplanted areas along city 

 streets. It has been estimated that 

 within the cities of the State there are 

 20,000 miles of streets capable of 

 sustaining a growth of 5,000,000 shade 

 trees which can be made w^orth 

 $100,000,000 in increased property 

 value. 



Pine Used by Box Industry. 



White pine and yellow pine are the woods most used for boxes, and each contributes more 

 than a billion feet to the box industry annually. 



British Columbia's Timber Protection. 



, • The annual cut of British Columbia timber is approximately two billion feet. There are 

 420 mills and 790 logging camps in the province, employing about 60,000 men.
