Municipal Forestry. 

 Forestry can never appeal to indi- 

 vidual enterprise on a large scale, says 

 the Toronto "Globe" 'in a recent arti- 

 cle. Returns are too slow. As a na- 

 tional enterprise of the highest impor- 

 tance it is gaining recognition, and 

 there is a tendency among some Amer- 

 ican cities to take advantage of its 

 many possibilities. With the excep- 

 tion of the vicinity of the Great Lakes, 

 the world's largest reservoir of pure 

 fresh water, cities must have water 

 supplies from available drainage or 

 watershed areas. These can be devot- 

 ed to forestry with advantage from a 

 sanitary point of view, and also with 

 profit when the trees begin to mature. 

 Where convenient, the forested area 

 can also be made to serve as public 

 parks. The city of Fall River, Mass., 

 began in 1909 to plant trees in Watup- 

 pa Pond Reservation. There are 

 3,232 acres of land belonging to the 

 municipality in a natural forest condi- 

 tion, and 1,552 acres suitable for refor- 

 esting. The trees are supplied by the 

 State Forestry Bureau. The Metro- 

 politan Water Board, which represents 

 Boston and other cities in this matter, 

 has planted, chiefly in the Wachusetts 

 Reservation, about 1,800 acres with for- 

 est trees. In six years the State for- 

 estry service has furnished to the cities 

 of the State a sufficient number of trees 

 to cover 1,481 acres, and it is estimated 

 that 15,000 acres in city reservoir 

 tracts have been put under some kind 

 of forest treatment. Massachusetts 

 has gone beyond the use of watershed
