GREAT DEMAND FOR 



The rush of applications for trees for 

 the spring planting season now coming 

 in to the Conservation Commission of New 

 York State far exceeds, both in number 

 and size, the demands of any previous year 

 since the movement began for the reforest- 

 ing of idle land in the State. 



On January 16, the number of applica- 

 tions was 33 per cent larger than on the 

 corresponding date of last year. 



On February 16, the number of applica- 

 tions was 57 per cent larger than on the 

 corresponding date of last year. 



The total number of trees so far ordered 

 is 1.411,800 and the applications are more 

 widely diversified than ever before indi- 

 cating that interest in the reforesting 

 movement is general throughout the state. 



The largest single order so far received 



TREES IN NEW YORK 



came from' the Herkimer Post of the 

 .American Legion for 200,000 trees and is 

 stated to be only the beginning of a refor- 

 esting project by the post that will ulti- 

 mately reclaim 5,000 acres of barren land 

 in the northern part of Herkimer county 

 and will call for 5,000,000 trees, the whole 

 to be an impressive memorial to the men 

 who served in the recent war which will 

 in time of need furnish revenue for the 

 relief of members of the Legion requiring 

 it. 



With the protection against fire and 

 disease that the State is now giving to its 

 forests, reforestation is becoming a safe 

 and profitable investment, and that it is so 

 recognized is evidenced by the rapid growth 

 of the reforesting movement which now 

 includes everything from farmers' wood- 

 lots to large commercial and industrial 

 plantations.
