Farm Forestry for Farmers 



A special course on the farm woodlot is 

 being given at the New York State College 

 of Agriculture at Cornell University. Like 

 all the other courses offered during the 

 winter, this course is free to residents of 

 New York State. The object of the course 

 is to demonstrate that the farm woodlot 

 may be made a permanent and profitable 

 source of income to the farmer. In addi- 

 tion to the one lecture a week, three Satur- 

 day afternoons will be given to trips to 

 neighboring woodlots, or to such places as 

 are of interest to owners of woodlots.
