MISCELLANEOUS. 



From a review of a vohime by Dr. Erler 

 Value discussing in a most exhaustive manner 



of the economic significance of the hunt in 



Hunting Germany we abstract the following inter- 



in- esting data : 



Germany. The meat value of the annual kill of 



game in Prussia, which in 1886 was about 

 3.7 million dollars has risen in 1910 to 5 million dollars, 46% 

 of which is furnished by hares, 16% by roebuck, 18% by par- 

 tridge, only 5% by stags (elk) and 2% by wild boar. The value 

 of skins adds about $250,000. The attempt to figure what the 

 production of these values costs, stands naturally on very slender 

 basis. The author disclaims damage from the hare, only wild 

 boar is considered very damaging and next to it, elk. In the 

 main he considers the low game as alone economically valuable. 

 Higher values than in this meat production are now-a-days 

 secured from renting the hunt. These leases amounted in 1907 

 to around 4 million dollars or 7 cents per acre, while hunting 

 permits in 1906-7 brought in Prussia over $600,000, and in the 

 other states of the federation nearly $900,000.

The first general association of professional 

 Forestry foresters in France was formed in 1910 



Association under the name Association des Agents des 



in Eaiix et Forets, the first meeting being held 



France. in Paris on July 16, with over 500 members 



It appears that at least two-thirds of the 

 members are officials of the forest service and that the associa- 

 tion will be largely used to advance the interests of these.
