lessons with regard to trees and tree-planting. This you can 

 materially aid through your annual proclamation. The 

 farther the investigation of the Commission reaches, the more 

 deeply it becomes interested in the subject, and the more 

 promising seem the results of a well-developed forestry 

 policy, not only in maintaining the attributes of our State 



that make for wealth, but in adding to the value of our domain 

 as a place for the establishment of ideal homes. 

 Respectfully submitted, 

 ARTHUR HILL, 

 EDWIN A. WILDEY, 

 CHAS. W. GARFIELD, 



Michigan Forestry Commission.
