 (FOREST FIRE STATISTICS FOR PROTECTED LAND— Continued. 



The difference in total damage between the two fiscal years might 

 be explained by the fire protection program being better understood 

 by the local people in the timberlands and their greater care with fire 

 in the woods. 



STATE FOREST NURSERY 



The State Forest Nursery, on the State Fair Grounds at Louis- 

 ville, has had a very successful season during the past eighteen months. 

 The demand for forest planting and roadside planting stock, as in 

 former years, has far exceeded the supply. During the past year, 

 steps were taken to enlarge greatly the output of tree stock suitable 

 for planting on abandoned farm land— especially that of black locust — 

 in an attempt to meet requests for extensive plantings of this species 

 in Western and Central Kentucky. 



Planting of forest tree seedlings is advocated only on land not 

 reseeding naturally and that land not suited for agriculture.
