658 JOURNAL OF FORESTRY 



which out of 1,984 trees stricken, set only 65 on fire, a note on telephone 

 poles of glass, a visit by the Society of Eastern Foresters, and an obituary 

 of one of the State foresters, accidentally shot, in which case the de- 

 partment was unsuccessful in bringing the culprit to justice, and a 

 discussion of the circumstances lay bare the impotency of the law in 

 Pennsylvania, which is also exhibited in other trespass cases in which 

 the department appeared as litigant. 



It is with great satisfaction that we have extracted all the essentials 

 of this report, which has appeared to us the first of its kind in its com- 

 pleteness and business-like procedure. It gives evidence that forestry 

 has "arrived" in Pennsylvania. 



We recommend the perusal of this report to every State forester or 

 forest commission, in order to see where they ought to be.
