In presenting this paper we feel how incomplete and inadequate it is to this- 

 important subject. But we believe that at least the principles set forth are funda- 

 mentally correct. Each section of this great State must, with patience and feeling,, 

 solve the planting problem for itself. 



It is hoped that the bill (initiated by this organization) creating in each county a 

 forestry commission and forester, will, in its amended form, be signed by the Gov- 

 ernor at the coming session of the legislature. We believe that it will prove a 

 practical system for the protection and proper planting of highway trees. 



But it would seem that the general supervision of some central body is needed to 

 secure the harmonious treatment of the State as a whole, with its varied, wonderful 

 and characteristic beauty.
