THE PLATFORM OF THE FORESTER 



In order to .-i-Hist its readers to lay hold vigorously of present problems the FORESTER indicates five 

 ions in which an effective advance is chiefly needed. 



The forest work which is now being carried on by the Department of Agriculture, the General 

 Ln i ind the Geological Survey should be completely and formally unified. The division of 



authority between the three offices involves great waste, and consolidation is directly and emphatically 

 the present voluntary co-operation between them. 



i:iagement under the administration of trained foresters should be introduced 

 into the national and state forest reserves and parks. 



Laws for the protection of the forests against fire and trespass should be adapted to the needs of 

 rted by the provisions and appropriations necessary for their rigorous enforcement. 

 Taxation of forest Linda should be regulated so that it will encourage not forest destruction but 



:vnagement. 

 T 06 '- ->t owners of woodlands should be directed to forestry and to the possibilities of ap- 



foret management. 



tons asking themselves how they can best serve the cause of forestry will find suggested here lines 

 work al.mjr which every effort will tell. No opportunity for doing good along these lines should be 

 neglect*!.
