FORESTRY. 



Rate of increase on the cut-over timber lands of Minnesota, 

 S. B.Gkeen and H. B. Ayres {Minnesota Sta. Bid. 49, pp. 259-304, figs. 

 13). — The object of this bulletin is to present the results of a study of 

 the conditions of the cut-over timber lands of the State and to estimate 

 their probable natural increase and value. It is also designed to show 

 the great losses occasioned by forest fires, in the hope that a better 

 enforcement of the laws against forest fires will be brought about. 

 The present work was somewhat restricted on account of the limited 

 appropriations available for conducting the investigations, and the hope 

 is expressed that a further appropriation to extend the scope of the 

 work may be secured.
