 Differences of opinion exists as to whether trees, either singly or in 

 groups, are more beneficial when scattered through the grazing areas 

 or when segregated into distinct stands confined to the more exposed 

 and least favorable sites and not open to grazing. The author adheres

POLITICS. EDUCATION. AND LEGISLATION 



The State Forestry Academy, at Mont Alto, 

 Teaching in the mountains of southern Pennsylvania, has 



Forestry a working tract of 23,000 acres of mixed hard- 



en the Woods wood and coniferous forest. Over 100 species 

 of native trees and shrubs occur within one mile 

 of the Academy. The attendance has been limited to citizens of the 

 State who intended to enter the service of the State after graduation. 

 This has assured a constant source of properly trained men for the 

 service. The forest plantations, from 1 to 20 years in age, amount to 

 600 acres, with a nursery of a yearly capacity of 3 million seedlings. 

 Five native pines occur on this tract, including shortleaf pine {Finns 

 ecJiinata), which here reaches its most western extension north of 

 !Mason and Dixon's line. J. K., Jr.
