Food for Forest Fires. Sample of country on the White Earth^Chippewa Indian Reserva- 

 tion, wheie the United States Government lumbered for the Indians a few years ago, in a 

 splendid forest of Norway pine. Shows a lack of forestry methods. Photographed for the 

 ajmual report of the Forestry Commissioner of Minnesota. 



Spruce and fir forest near Freudenstadt, Wurttemberg, Germany: age about 130 years. Shows 

 how closely land becomes stocked with trees under scientific forestry management. Also shows under- 

 growth about six inches high. Minnesota's natural resources are so great that if she would now begin 

 to spend annually $300,000 in forestry, she would in eighty years have 3,000,000 acres of as good forest 

 on land not suited for agriculture, and of the value of $200,000,000 and upwards.
