390 Forestry Quarterly. 



There should be discussed finally the question of public regu- 

 lation of privately owned forests. 



This subject may be dealt with together with the preceding one, 

 and in a way it touches the subject of Forest Administration, but 

 as discussed before, the latter at least requires separate treatment. 



Nationai. Forest Administration. 



Optional.
