much yet remains to do that Mr. Skin- 

 ner s.iys in iiis report: 



' ' The work is slow. It will require 

 probably 200 years to bring it up to its 

 maximum effectiveness. But the time is 

 foreseen when existing damaged forests 

 will be reconstituted, and when all the 

 waste spaces will be replanted to the 

 point of proper proportion to insure the 

 conservation of the water supply, and 

 to furnish the timber and wood re- 

 quired by the population. The effect 

 upon private landowners of this public 

 work has been most salutary. Where 

 absolutely bald mountains have been re- 

 planted, very surprising local results are 

 now visible to all observers. This is 

 especially true in the Hautes-Alpes, 

 which had the unenviable reputation of 

 being the poorest department in France, 

 and is, in fact, one of the few from 

 which the United States has received 

 several thousand French immigrants. 

 There are now many artificially planted 

 forests in this department of twenty- 

 five years' standing, and in the bottom- 

 land below, conditions have so improved 

 that a state of general prosperity pre- 

 vails. ' ' 



The plan of the French foresters is 

 comprehensive. It embraces the care of 

 forest land, planting of trees, fixation 

 of dunes near the coasts to prevent the 

 drifting of sand upon agricultural land, 

 correction of mountain streams, regula- 

 tion of pasture land, utilization of water 

 in pastoral and forest regions, and the 

 surveillance of river fishing and fish cul- 

 ture. This comprehensive service ex- 

 tends to every part of the republic. 



The area of the national forests of 

 the United States exceeds twenty-fold 

 the national and communal forests of 

 France, but the problems are the same. 

 France has been longer at the work 

 and when it began its forests were in a 

 worse condition than ours are now, but 

 not worse than our privately owned for- 

 ests will be if present methods con- 

 tinue. 



Consul-General Skinner concludes his 

 report with this suggestion to those in 

 America who have shown sufficient in-

 subject : 



' ' If correspondents could penetrate, 

 as the writer has done, the almost in- 

 accessible mountain villages of this 

 country, and there discover the enthu- 

 siastic French forester at work, apply- 

 ing scientific methods which cannot 

 come to complete fruition before two 

 or three hundred years, they would re- 

 tire full of admiration and surprise and 

 carry the lesson back to the United 

 States. ' '

The Market. 



Trade conditions are about the same 

 as last reported. The market trade is 

 dull, and the only hope is to get rid of 

 the large quantity of chrysanthemoma 

 that are still on the market. Some of 

 the growers realize that the thing to do 

 next season is to only grow a small quan- 

 tity of the choice varieties, such as the 

 trade calls for, as pure white, pink and 

 yellow. "We find this year that the 

 choice mums were quickly bought up, 

 and at fair prices, while the next grades 

 went dragging and at times were not
