MASSACHUSETTS WOODLANDS. 29 



growth with more valuable coniferous stands, for which the land is 

 better suited. 



This department is anxious to co-operate with all owners of wood- 

 land in the State where moth invasion is present or threatened. 

 Free of all charge they will inspect such woodland with the owners, 

 and oft'er expert advice as to its condition and treatment. They 

 will also, without expense to the owner, supervise thinning opera- 

 tions, mark trees to be cut, furnish labor and aid in the sale of the 

 wood. If desired this department will take entire management of 

 an operation and see that it is satisfactorily carried on, the owner 

 bearing the actual cost of the work and making any profit that may 

 result. 



For aid or advice write to the State Forester.
