act of setting a fire in violation of the 

 law. 



Besides the special regulations and 

 enactments above referred to, the office 

 of state forester acts as a clearing 

 house for our Massachusetts people in 

 assisting in every way possible toward 

 accomplishing results in forestry. Free, 

 expert advice is given anywhere 

 throughout the state, forestry litera- 

 ture is sent out in large quantities. The 



state forester has been in constant de- 

 mand for public lectures, and every- 

 thing looks extremely encouraging and 

 hopeful for good results in the near 

 future. 



We, here in Massachusetts, are be- 

 ginning to realize that the old Bay State 

 of the future, from a forestry stand- 

 point, will be just what we propose to 

 make it ; and it is believed we are 

 awakening to our responsibilities.
