Hark awl in the Woodlands Field nur- 

 series. Woodlands Field now has 1,300,000 

 spruce and 1,000,000 larch two year seed- 

 lings and the Improvement Park 5,000,000 

 larch, 4,800,000 Scots pine, 1,000,000 Japan- 

 ese larch, 1,500,000 Sitka spruce, 100,000 

 American white spruce, 1,500,000 Douglas 

 fir and 10,000 Austrian pine. Double the 

 above quantities were sowed this spring. 



The Laurentide Company, Ltd., is cutting 

 one thousand cords of hardwood to be 

 used in the manufacture of ground wood 

 pulp. The species being cut are poplar, 

 white birch, yellow birch and maple. The 

 two first will be floated and the two latter 

 will be transported in barges. 



AMERICAN FORESTRY 



The following is interesting : Represen- 

 tations having been made to the Queens- 

 land Government that the export of large 

 quantities of softwoods hoop pine and 

 bunya from the state, principally to the 

 other states of the Commonwealth, had 

 created a serious shortage of pine in 

 Queensland and at the same time had the 

 effect of causing increased prices, a proc- 

 lamation has been issued which will have 

 the effect of seizing all logs arriving with- 

 in 25 miles of Brisbane or Maryborough, 

 and owners of such logs will have to apply 

 to the Government before same can be ex- 

 ported.

MINNESOTA 

 A/fOKH thal1 $375,000 will be derived from 

 the sale of stumpage from state school 

 and swamp lands this year as a result of 

 the cuttings completed during the 1919-1920 

 logging season, according to the state au- 

 ditor. 



The money derived from the sale of this 

 stumpage is paid into the state trust funds, 

 the majority being credited to the swamp 

 lands fund and the balance into the school 

 fund of the state, both of which are included 

 in the trust fund. 



The amount of timber stumpage cut in 

 the season recently closed, falls a trifle 

 short of that cut in previous seasons, be- 

 cause of the labor shortage and the early 

 snowfalls which hampered the work of cut- 

 ting in woods and swamps in the northern 

 part of the state, according to Otto Diercks, 

 superintendent of the land and timber de- 

 partment in the office of Auditor Preus. 



The prices received for stumpage during 

 the past season have been more than dou- 

 bled over those received during the past 

 four years, and the market at this time com- 

 mands up to $15 per thousand feet on pine 

 stumpage ; on spruce stumpage the state 

 receives up to $10 the thousand feet. Ties 

 are sold for up to 25 cents each and cedar 

 posts are sold at the rate of three cents 

 each. Cedar poles command a price of 

 from 30 to 40 cents each. 



The approximate value of timber re- 

 maining to be cut on state lands during the 

 next decade of years is estimated at from 

 $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. according to Mr. 

 Diercks. 



Mr. William D. Clark, the new Assistant 

 Forester, comes from New England, where 

 fire prevention has been developed to a 

 science, and is a graduate of the Yale 

 School of Forestry, probably the leading 

 institute of its kind in America. Mr. Clark 

 combines the enthusiasm of the North with 

 the tact and courtesy of the South, which 

 eminently fits him for dealing with the 

 varied problems which are inevitably con- 

 nected with the work of fire prevention. 



The Federal Government has for the past 

 few years been contributing from two to 

 three thousand dollars a year towards for- 

 est protection in North Carolina, and the 

 State has been spending a somewhat great- 

 er amount. Satisfactory results have been 

 secured on certain restricted areas, but the 

 funds have been sadly inadequate. Con- 

 gress will this winter be asked to greatly 

 increase its appropriation, so that at least 

 $10,000 will be available for fire protection 

 in this State. 



The work of extending and making more 

 effective this forest fire prevention will be 

 largely left to Mr. Clark, who will do the 

 work of a State Forest Fire Warden. 



NORTH CAROLINA 

 IN connection with the approach of the 

 fall fire season, the Forestry Division 

 of the North Caroina Geological and 

 Economic Survey announced that it suc- 

 ceeded in securing the services of an ex- 

 perienced forester who will devote practi- 

 cally his whole time to the prevention of 

 lorest fires in North Carolina. 



OREGON 



/GOVERNOR OLCOTT, of Oregon, has 

 appointed a committee to look into 

 possibilities of preserving tree growth 

 along highways of the state. The subject 

 has recently received considerable atten- 

 tion in the press of Oregon, but is by no 

 means a new subject. It has been up 

 locally in many sections of Oregon and 

 Washington and probably in other north- 

 western states also. The public takes 

 kindly to the idea of having highways 

 bounded by forest trees which it has taken 

 300 years to grow. There is every rea- 

 son why this should be the case for tim- 

 ber lands freshly cut or burned over are 

 unsightly. 



But there are other sides to the question 

 also. Narrow strips of timber, except in 

 very sheltered places, will not be wind
