Fig. 3. ACRES OF DESOLATION. 



More than 5,000.000 acres of such barren land are found in Pennsylvania. Much

Fig. 4. ACRES OF SCRUB OAK. 



Scrub Oak has no timber value. Large areas in our forests contain many weed 

 species which often prevent other valuable trees from establishing themselves.
