Experimental plantations being put out by the State on State lands. 

 Forests are necessary to protect the soil, conserve the water supply and 

 by planting where nature will not restock the ground easily we grow 

 what we want, where we want it, more of it, with a greater value, in a 

 shorter time, and, all things considered, at less expense.

Results of planting on State lands in Adirondacks. Instead of paper 

 birch, trembling aspen and pincherry occupying this ground for the next 

 twenty-five years, we have a uniform stand of thrifty pine with every square 

 rod occupied. Such results can be gotten on idle lands anywhere in the State.
