in the failure to leave seed trees in favorable localities, and in 

 lack of protection of young growth in logging operations. 



(4) The conservative management of farm wood lots is 

 practicable and greatly to be desired. 



(5) Forest planting upon denuded lands unsuited for agri- 

 culture promises good returns. 



(6) There should be a chief fire warden, who should also 

 be State forester, who should maintain a State forest nursery, 

 for the distribution at cost of forest seeds and seedlings, and 

 should bring about by lectures and instruction on the ground 

 a better management of forest lands within the State. 



(7) Since an excellent opening exists for the creation of a 

 forest revenue by the purchase of cut-over lands in the moun- 

 tains, the adoption of a policy looking to this end is recommend- 

 ed. Such lands are for sale at from $1 to $3 per acre. 



Future Forest Trees: A.Harold Unwin, D. Oec. Publ. (Munich). 

 T. Fisher Uniuin, Publisher. Pp. 108. 



This volume by Dr. Unwin, formerly of the Forestry Branch 

 of the Department of the Interior, is issued with the object of 

 presenting in a concise manner the results of numerous experi- 

 ments, made chiefly in Germany, with some American trees 

 in order to show their forestal value in Europe. The papers 

 of which this book are composed, appeared first in German, 

 but it was considered advisable to make the information avail- 

 able for English readers. Tables are given of the imports of 

 timber into Germany from the United States and Canada, 

 and are followed by a list of the different species of American 

 trees which have been tried in Germany, with a statement of 

 the results of the experiments in each case.

 natural features of the district. The illustrations include views 

 of the beautiful mountain scenery and of the game and other 

 products of the country, which add much to its handsome ap- 

 pearance.
