INCREASE OR DECREASE OF FORESTS. 



Tlie information gained in reply to the circulars sent out by the divi.s- 

 ion confirms the conclusions arrived at in taking the last national ecu 

 sus, and which, intelligent observers had reached at an earlier datt-, 

 that our forests are decreasing at a rapid and, in a large portion of tlie 

 country, at an alarming rate. In a few of the Western States, Kansnn 

 and Nebraska, and in the Territory of Dakota, the very small extent of 

 natural tree growth and the manifest need of shelter from cold and vio 

 lent winds have led the people of that region to protect the existing 

 forests and to engage quite extensively in the planting of new ones.
