2005. Clutterbuck, P. H. Annual progress report of forest administration in the 

 United Provinces, 1917-18. 60 p. Allahabad, India, 1918. — The routine annual report with 

 statements in tabular form appended. The area of reserved forests increased from 5582 

 square miles to 5957 square miles during the year, while the entire area now under control is 

 7495 square miles. Exclusive of leased forests the area of the forests under the control of the 

 Forest Department is 6.7 per cent of the total area of the provinces. At the close of the year 

 4038 square miles were under approved working plans. Some form of regulated felling is 

 practised on 66 per cent of the area under working plans. The chir (Pinus longifolia) tar 

 work has passed the experimental stage and the product may be placed with the resin industry 

 as an established minor forest product. A separate report has been published on the resin 

 industry for the financial year which presents a very detailed description of the present posi- 

 tion of the industry in Kumaun and brings the history of the progress made in recent years up 

 to date. Experimental plots are maintained in West and East Almora to ascertain the effects 

 of grazing and burning on chir seedlings, as well as the influence of heredity and environment, 

 in causing twisted fiber (spiral grain). Results are not yet shown, as sufficient time has 

 not elapsed. 28,280 maunds (maund = 80 pounds) of various tan stuffs were collected and 

 sent to the government tannery at Allahabad. — E. R. Hodson. 



2006. Compton, W. Forest economics: some thoughts on an old subject. Amer. Forestry 

 25: 1337-1339. 1919.— A contribution to the general topic "A national forest policy." The 

 future permanent supply of standing timber as a raw material for industry is a problem of 

 economics. How much timber, what kinds of timber, where it should be located, what lands 

 should be timbered and how the timber should be used can not be determined by applying 

 principles of forestry. When the nation's timber needs have been determined — then the 

 principles of forestry correctly applied may show how these needs can best be met. Four- 

 teen points to be considered in connection with a national plan for efficient forest utilization 

 and adequate replacement of timber are discussed in some detail. — Chas. H. Otis.

2009. Dana, Samuel T. Public control of private forests in Norway. Jour. Forestry 17: 

 497-502. 1919. — The laws under which Norway handles its private forests, which constitute 

 75 per cent of the forest area, are summarized. Local communities can adopt regulations for 

 handling protection forests, the boundaries being fixed by a state forester and private owners. 

 Regulations handling protection forests are provided for by the council and must have the 

 approval of the national forest service. Burning is prohibited, all dry, dead material must be 

 removed before any green tree is cut, and community councils establish other rules. Forests 

 not coming under the control of the community are managed by the government and cutting 

 under 20 cm. is forbidden in coniferous forests. — E. N . Munns.
