groves of big trees which he considers 

 suitable for Parks in various parts of the 

 State. The Forest Commission has agreed 

 that an advisory committee shall be ap- 

 pointed to act on the selection of the pro- 

 posed recreational areas, and other sites 

 which may be considered later. 



"P REE education in forestry is offered the 

 young men of Pennsylvania by the 

 State Department of Forestry. Gifford 

 Pinchot, the Chief Forester, announces 

 that competitive examinations are to be held 

 at Harrisburg for free scholarships to the 

 State Forest Academy, at Mont Alto. 



The ten highest men will be appointed to 

 the Forest Academy where they will begin 

 their study of forestry next September. A 

 further test of si.x week's work will be 

 given on one of the State Forests. 



Young men between the ages of i8 and 

 25, who have completed a four years' high 

 school course and who have had experience 

 m farming, lumbering, surveying and other 

 forms of outdoor work, are particularly de- 

 sired. The scholarships provide free tui- 

 tion, board, room and laundry. Upon suc- 

 cessful completion of the course, which in- 

 cludes thorough and practical training, a 

 degree in forestry will be awarded. 



WEST VIRGINIA. 



On May 10, 1921, the Lookout Station 

 on Lick Knob, was completed and it is now 

 in operation. This work has been ac- 

 complished largely through the active and 

 earnest cooperation of public spirited citi- 

 zens of the State with the forest officers 

 in their efforts to further forest protection! 

 E. N. Wriston is in charge of the Lookout 

 Station under the direction of C. W. Hard- 

 ing, Forest Fire Warden.

The Northern New York Utilities, Inc., 

 through its president, Mr. John m'. 

 Carlisle, reports keen interest in the cam- 

 paign of the American Forestry Associa- 

 tion for reforestation and advises that 

 the Company is now engaged in the re- 

 foresting of the lands around its power 

 plants. They have already set out 600,000 

 trees and intend to plant about 200 000 

 each year in the future until approxi-

 Mr. Carlisle is also interesting local 

 county and club officials in this program. 

 Work of this sort cannot be too highly 

 commended.

100,000 ACRE JERSEY FOREST PUT 

 TO WORK 



JjEVELOPMENT of the forest re- 

 sources of the Wharton Estate, con- 

 sisting of 100,000 acres of woodland in 

 Burlington, Atlantic, and Camden Coun- 

 ties, New Jersey, has begun by the appoint- 

 ment of James O. Hazard as Forester of 

 the Wharton properties in South Jersey. 

 Mr. Hazard, who is a graduate of the Yale 

 Forest School, and who was formerly in 

 the service of the State as Assistant For- 

 ester, has recently established a residence 

 in Hammonton. He has begun at once 

 the work of protecting the woodlands from 

 fire and developing the forest resources, 

 so that this tract, now consisting largely 

 of young and frequently burned forest, 

 may be returned to productivity. Due to 

 the repeated fires there are, today, only 

 five sawmills cutting timber from this 

 tract. These mills have an average cut 

 per day of about 3,000 to 4,000 board feet. 

 Had fire been kept out of the forest for 

 the past fifty years and the cut regulated 

 to the amount of the annual growth, the 

 tract would now be capable of supporting 

 continuously, 16 sawmills cutting an aver- 

 age of 10,000 board feet per day or 3,000,-
