Go over the ground to be cleared and cut out with 

 an old axe or grub hoe always cutting the roots below 

 the crown all the currant and gooseberry bushes you 

 can find. Cover the ground slowly and systematically 

 so that you will not overlook any. You can get a 

 very large per cent of them in this way, but will al- 

 ways miss some. To get them go over the ground 

 again the next spring about the middle of May, and 

 take out all you find. As these species start to grow 

 a little earlier than the other plants, they are particu- 

 larly easy to find at this time of the year. This ought 

 to get practically all of them, but it will be best to re- 

 peat the process every spring for two or three years 

 to make sure that the birds or some other agency 

 are not bringing them in. 



Remember that this applies to tame as well as to 

 wild rabies. 



Follow these directions and your white pine should 

 be safe anywhere. 



Many New Jersey Woodland Owners Are 

 Practicing Forestry 



A survey of the progress of Forestry in New Jersey,

 sion of Forestry to determine the extent that woodland

 has shown most gratifying results. Since the State 

 itself owns less than one per cent of the forests within 

 its borders, it has been the policy of the State Forester 

 to support and encourage the interest of private own- 

 ers in the practice of forestry, and in this way serve
