First report on a study of forest conditions of Kentucky, J. S. Holmes 

 and W. P.KADi'iKi.n (liicn. I'pt. Bur. Afjr., Jjdbor, and St-aiis. rA'.//.l. 17 { t'.)0(]~ 

 7't, /(/>. S7-1.20, nidp 1). — The Forest Service of this Department, in cooi)eration 

 with the Kentucky State P>oard of Agriculture. Forestry, ;ind Inunigration, is 

 making a study relative to the present forest conditions in Kentucky and means 

 for their imiirovement. Thus far, the study has been completed on 2 watersheds, 

 the Big Sandy and Little Sandy rivers, including 11 counties in the eastern and 

 northern sections of the mountain region. 



Tlie results of the investigation to date are embraced in the present report. 

 Brief consideration is given to the physiographic features, classification, owner- 

 shi]), and valuation of land, and to transportation, and considerable tabular data 

 is presented and discussed showing the annual output of forest products, together 

 with the estimated present stands in this region. The forests are discussed both 

 l>y type and species, and a local description is given of the forest conditions in 

 each of the 11 counties to show the immediate need for the adoption of some 

 definite method of caring for the forest land. An account is given of the timber 

 jind other forest industries relative to methods of exploitation and sug^stions 

 for t^eir improvement. Other features discussed are agriculture and mining in 

 their relation to forestiy. protection from fire and stock, planting, and taxation. 

 An appendix contliins a list of trees and shrubs noted in the region, and a map 

 showing forest conditions in eastern Kentucky is also given. 



It is reconunended that a technically trained and exjierienced forester be ap- 

 jiointed to talce charge of all State work, and that lands more valuable for for- 

 est jturposes than other purposes should be held and administered by the State 

 as State forests. The establishment of experimental planting stations and a fire 

 warden system is also advised.

 various systems of management which have been in force in the d'Amance forest 

 8ince 1S2(> are considered relative to the conditions under which they were 

 exercised and i\w results produced from their execution together with recom-

 relative to growtli tables, etc., are given as well as tables outlining methods of 

 oxi>loitation for a period of l.") years from IDOT to 1021.
