Massachusetts Forestry Work recognized in Other 



States. 



During the past year we have had cause to feel complimented 

 upon our work, as the State of New York, in a bulletin entitled 

 " Instructions for Reforesting Lands," published, with due 

 credit, many tables found in our handbook on " Forest Mensu- 

 ration of the White Pine." Also, this pamphlet of ours has 

 been sought by many forest schools. Another of our publica- 

 tions, " Forest Trees of Massachusetts, how you may know 

 them," a pocket manual, was practically copied in full by the 

 Maine Forestry Commission. Other States have in part adopted 

 the Massachusetts forestry legislation.
