excellent and thrifty reproduction of pine, has favored the increase in proportion of desirable 

 hardwoods, such as beech, and has also resulted in a much more rapid height-growth of the 

 pine than that in the neighboring forests managed by the old clear-cutting system. The 

 method requires much more intensive work and can only be applied by technically trained 

 foresters. By the use of this method vonKalitsch has increased the annual yield of his 

 forest from 2.2 to 6.3 cubic meters per hectare. — W. N. Sparhawk.

 rationalt skogbruk. [The oflBce of Herred Forester and its relation to a rational forest utiliza- 

 tion.] Tidsskr. Skogbr. 28: 210-21S. 1920.— The author lays stress on the fact that Norway 

 will always receive much revenue from her forests, that the surest way of safeguarding the for- 

 ests is by educating the people and by accumulating fundamental knowledge. Until this is 

 assured there must be Government regulation and supervision, for which the office of Herred 

 Forester has been instituted. It is the function of this office to supervise law enforcement, to 

 insure that only properly informed persons prescribe the cuttings, that capable men are put in 

 charge, and that the proper kind of information is gathered. About one-half of the country 

 has now accepted this measure. — J. A. Larsen.

 zation of Danish woods.] Forst. Forsogsv. Danmark 5: 301-342. Fig.l. 1920. — The object 

 of the investigation was to determine how dimensions, shape, and structure affect the amount 

 and quality of the yield. To this end the different parts of the tree were selected in order to 

 determine the sizes and the amounts which may be sawed out for stock to be used for staves, 

 implement handles, shoe bottoms, wagons, etc.; also for lumber of different descriptions. 

 The results of the investigations are given in great detail in tabular form. — /. A. Larsen. 



1262. Orre, S. Blinkning i Namdalen. [Marking in Namdalen.] Tidsskr. Skogbr. 

 28:246-256. PI. 5. 1920. — The author describes the results of early marking in the northern- 

 most forests in Norway, and points out the bad results from unscientific marking. The forests 

 are chiefly of spruce {Picea excelsa) and birch (Betula odorata). — /. A. Larsen.

 forest with special regard to the relation between farm and forest management.] Illus. Landw. 

 Zeitg. 41: 34-35. 1921. — The author gives a brief popular discussion of the utilization of 

 the farm forest or wood-lot. Cut trees may be used for carriage poles, mine-timbers, sleepers, 

 barrels, paper, poles, and facines; certain parts may be used for fire-wood and for local repairs. 

 The forested tract may be used for pasture. Leafy twigs of poplars, aspens, willows, horn- 

 beams, and other broad leaved trees, except alders, may be dried and used as fodder in winter, 

 or the twigs only may be clipped off in winter and saved. Dried leaves, especially those of 

 beech, may be used as bedding for animals. It is desirable to remove some of the beech leaves 

 as they are usually so abundant as to interfere with reproduction. — Johi W. Roberts. 



1265. Rave. Forderungen zum Forstkulturgesetz. [Need for forest law.] Zeitschr. 

 Forst- u. Jagdw. 52 : 302-305. 1920.— The need for increasing forest production suggests the 

 enactment of laws governing the management of forest land. All forests which do not show 

 a satisfactory volume and value production should be placed under state supervision. 

 The plan points toward the socialization of forests. The basis for the recommendation is 

 the average yield per acre for 1913 of 187.4 cubic feet on State forests as against 89.3 in private 

 forests. — Joseph S. Illick.
