REFORESTATION IN MASSACHUSETTS. 19 



FORM OF APPLICATION USED IN ASKING FOR AN EXAMINA- 

 TION OF WOODLAND. 



Massachusetts State Forester, 



State House, 



Boston. 



The State Forester is charged with the work of promoting the per- 

 petuation, extension and proper management of the forest lands of the 

 Commonwealth, both public and private (1904, Chap. 409, Sect. 2). The 

 department is open for consultation on forest and shade tree planting, 

 woodlot management, wood and lumber markets, prices, the control of 

 insects and diseases affecting woodland a ad shade trees, taxation, and 

 all matters pertaining to the care of woodland and ornamental trees. 

 In matters pertaining to fruit growing, however, go to your local county 

 agricultural agent. While good advice can be given through correspond- 

 ence, office interviews and publications, often a personal examination of 

 the property or trees, themselves, by one of my technical assistants 

 where the advice can be extended on the ground, is the only satisfactory 

 method of procedure. The only charge for such service is the traveling 

 expenses of the forester making such examination. If you care to have 

 such an examination, fill out the attached application blank and mail to 

 our office. A brief description of the land and the problem involved 

 will assist us.
