BURROUGHS MEMORIAL FOREST 

 f\ti the shoulder of Rose Mountain north 

 of Big Indian the 25 boys of the Ray- 

 mond Riordon School Conservation Unit 

 entrusted with the mission by the Conser- 

 vation Commission of the State of New 

 York have finished planting the first sec- 

 tion of the Burroughs State Memorial 

 Forest, says the Kingston (N. Y.) Daily 

 Freeman. 



The first 3,000 trees were planted while 

 snow was in the air and two mornings the 

 boys turned out of their tents in one of 

 the ravines on the mountainside to find 

 the ground white. Although they ranged 

 from 11 to 19 years of age and were shel- 

 tered only by canvas during the entire 

 week there was not a single case of sick- 

 ness in the camp. 



Two hours of study each morning, six 

 hours on the planting line a mile above 

 their camp on the mountain, the cooking 

 of their own food and the keeping of their 

 camp in proper shape during the entire 

 week, make up a story of typical Ameri- 

 can boy accomplishment, under heavy 

 weather handicap. 



A total of 14,000 trees were planted t>y 

 the boys 10,000 spruce yearlings and 

 4,000 Scotch pine four year olds. It is 

 announced that the mountain is to be re- 

 christened Burroughs Mountain in honor 

 of the famous naturalist in whose mem- 

 ory the forest is to be established and main- 

 tained by school boys of the state. 



FLORIDA FRUIT GROWERS WANT 

 REFORESTATION 



'"PHE eaters of Florida oranges and grape- 

 fruit may not think of reforestation 

 as in any way affecting their breakfast 

 tables, but the Florida citrus fruit growers 

 have a different point of view, according to 

 forestry officials of the United States, who 

 have found the leaders of the industry 

 anxious about future supplies of box 

 material. 



The Florida grapefruit and orange crop 

 now requires on the average more than 

 12,000,000 boxes yearly to get it to market. 

 It has a money value of something like 

 $30,000,000, and the industry is still ex- 

 panding raipidly. By 1930, if production 

 continues to increase in similar ratio to 

 that in recent years, the output will re- 

 quire 40,000,000 boxes annually. Each box 

 requires about five and one-half board feet 

 of lumber. 



Local southern pine forests are the source 

 of the raw material for these boxes, but 

 the supply is drawn upon also for wooden 

 containers for the products of Florida truck 

 farms. 



Forest depletion under methods which do 

 not provide for regrowth has reached a 

 point which makes the question where 

 containers are to come from a matter of 

 very practical concern to the citrus in- 

 dustry in Florida. 



The Government has a National Forest 

 in Florida of over 300,000 acres, on which 

 the practicability of forest management for
