152 AGRICULTURi; 01^ MAINE. 



I long to see the time when tourists may drive through our 

 forests as they now drive through the forests of the old world, 

 on finely macadamized roads, amidst majestic trees kept free 

 from insect pests, underbrush and decaying Hmbs. Is it too 

 much to ask that man shall cease to invade, or that he shall em- 

 bellish rather than mar his surroundings, that the beauty of 

 Maine, our Maine, may be enhanced, rather than destroyed.
