 BEARS INTERFERE WITH FORESTERS 



As an interesting example of the problems which a forester has to work 

 out, it is said that forest officials in India have undertaken to girdle undesir- 

 able trees in order to kill them off and give more room to the Deodar and other 

 valuable species. Himalayan bears, however, have discovered that the sap 

 from these girdled trees is sweet and toothsome and have undertaken some 

 girdling on their own hook. They have caused a good deal of trouble be- 

 cause they do not confine their operations to undesirable trees. 



NEW YORK TO GROW CHRISTMAS TREES 



The state of New York buys annually about a million and a quarter 

 dollars' worth of Christmas trees. It is the intention to plant and grow a 

 large proportion of the Christmas trees on the state forest lands and keep this 

 large sum at home instead of sending it to other states. 



The state of New York is farming only 15 million acres out of the 32 

 million located within its boundaries.
