of flames. The plan was suggested to For- 

 ester Pinchot by District Forester R. B. 

 Winter, of Mifflinburg, who worked it out 

 successfully with Captain Donald Zimmer- 

 man, commanding officer of Troop M, of 

 Lewisburg. Volunteers for the forest fire 

 service will be recruited in each cavalry 

 troop in the interior of the State. Be- 

 cause of their favorable locations, troops 

 in the following places will be asked to co- 

 operate : Bellefonte, Lock Haven, Boals-

TREE PLANTING IN VARIOUS 

 STATES 



In New York State over 60,000 acres 

 are reported by State Forestry officials to 

 have been planted with trees, mostly pines, 

 since 1901. 



Thousands of Scotch and white pine 

 trees have been planted in various sec- 

 tions of Massachusetts this season. 



Louisiana has called upon her boys to 

 help replant her forest land and an annual 

 prize of $500 is ofTered by a big lumber 



company to be divided among the boys 

 showing the best stand for trees of any 

 artificial plantation. 



As a result of plantings of pine seedlings 

 begun 18 years ago on the plains of Ne- 

 braska, 5,000 acres of young forest have 

 been successfully established. Some of the 

 trees today are 25 feet high. {National 

 Lumber Bulletin.) 



PENNSYLVANIA'S FORESTS 

 17 IGURES compiled by the Pennsyl- 

 vania Department of Forestry indi- 

 cate that the commonwealth has made a 

 net gain of more than $4,750,000 on its 

 in\estment in state forests. The state- 

 ment shows the total purchase price of 

 the 1,125,611 acres now handled by the 

 Department of Forestry was $2,545,134.65. 



Since 1898, when the Department of 

 Forestry began purchasing forest land, 

 there has been expended for administra- 

 tion, development and improvement $4,- 

 702,155.96, making the total investment 

 and expenditures $7,247,290.61. 



It is estimated that the state forests are 

 now worth about twelve million dollars, 

 consequently, the net gain has been $4,- 

 752,709.39. Commenting on this profit, 

 Chief Forester Pinchot said it shows con- 

 clusively that the state's forest holdings 

 are an investment and not an expense to 

 the commonwealth. 



The financial statement showed further 

 flat the Department of Forestry has paid 

 for road, school and county taxes $616,- 

 040.17 to the counties in which the state 

 forests are located.
