IT WILL DEVOTE its influence to the development 

 of public thought and knowledge along these practical 

 lines. 



The association will support these policies: 



Non-political departmentally independent organization 

 of the State Government's Forestry Department .with 

 liberal appropriations for its work. 



Forest fire protection by state and its encouragement 

 and extension by co-operation; without adequate fire 

 protection all other measures for forest crop produc- 

 tion will fail. 



Classification by experts of land best suited for farm- 

 ing and those best suited for forestry; and liberal state 

 appropriations for this work. 



Management by the state of state owned forest lands 

 and the acquirement of additional lands suitable for 

 forest crops. 



Forest planting by the state government and long-lived 

 corporations; and, also, planting by private owners of 

 wind-breaks, shelter belts and woodlots. 



Closer utilization in logging and manufacturing and 

 use of so-called inferior kinds of timber. 



Forest taxation reforms to permit the collection of 

 the tax at the time the timber crop is harvested at 

 maturity with a moderate annual tax on the land itself. 

 This would put the owners of timber crops and other 

 agricultural crops on the same basis for taxation.
