BRITAIN'S FORESTS AND NEW ENGLAND. 



Aroused by the exigencies of the war. Great 

 Britain's reconstruction committee formulated a 

 forest policy for the United Kingdom which was 

 adopted before the armistice was signed and is 

 now being organized. It provided for the re- 

 quisition of land by the State for tree planting 

 on a large scale, and by advances to privat? 

 owners for tree planting on their ow'n land on a 

 profit sharing basis. By these means it is 

 planned to build up home supplies of timber and 

 the industries dependent on them. Can we learn 

 a lesson from the experience of our ally? 



By E. C. Hirst, State Forester of A'cn- Hampshire. 



It is certain that under the stimulus of war 

 needs our pine mills have stripped over 33,000 



acres in New England during the last two years, 

 and probably over 100,000 have been cut over 

 by all mills in the State. We can be proud of 

 th? fact that we were able so quickly to make 

 available this large amount of New England 

 lumber for the great cause which it served: but 

 we must recognize the extent to which it has 

 depleted our resources. To this end a broad 

 policy should be worked out that will encourage 

 the replanting of our cut over forest lands. 



FRANCE'S POWER OF RESISTANCE. 



An American lumberman serving in France 

 has written the following most interesting tribute 

 to the Forests of France in a letter to a friend: 



"Over here the lumber business is good, 

 especially the demand. If memory fails me not, 

 in a conversation with you last winter, you men- 

 tioned that it was your understanding that they 



expected the forestry troops to gel out about 

 20.000,000 feel a month, and you wondered 

 where they were to get the timber to cut tha! 

 much. Last month we cut 43,000.000 feet and 

 we have orders for 100,000.000 feet a month 

 for several months. Besides the lumb:r cut last 

 month we made over 300,000 ties. 30.000 cords
