REPORT OF STATE FORESTER. 



393 



Lectures and Addresses. 



The State Forester has been called upon for a large number 

 of engagements throughout the year. As much of this work 

 has been done as time would permit. Mr. C. O. Bailey and 

 Mr. H. 0. Cook have assisted in this work. Mr. R. G. Pierce, 

 the expert on the chestnut bark disease, has in addition to 

 those listed made quite a campaign throughout the State where 

 the chestnut is indigenous. 



Now that the Massachusetts Agricultural College has a de- 

 partment of forestry, the lectures heretofore given by the State 

 Forester have not been necessary, and the past season the 

 lectures were confined to the subject of State forest policy.
