on the habits of the species developed, and the method of hunting, 

 fhe greatest difficulty will usually be found in preventing trespass 

 and poaching. In many localities the area must be sufficiently 

 large and productive to afford a revenue which will provide for its 

 protection. Owners of small, but ad joining, forests can frequently 

 cooperate, and combine their holdings to make an area large enough 

 to justify this expense. The modifications in the cutting of these 

 forests will be the same, in principle, as is suggested below for 

 the larger state forests. 



Forests owned by States, or by long lived corporations, usually 

 cover a large area embracing a great variety of types and conditions^ 

 and because of the permanency of ownership, can be managed on a 

 long period ■ rotation. The management of state forests on a low 

 profit basis is justified since these forests provide for stream 

 protection, wild life conservation and recreational use. The im- 

 measurable and indirect benefits derived from these uses, even tho 

 they may not be expressed in dollars and cents, may properly be 

 considered as a part of the profit from the forest. 



In producing a long period crop, forestry immediately justifies 

 itself by separating agricultural from non- agricultural land, and 

 considering for forest use only such land as by reason of its soil, 

 topography, or location is undesirable for agriculture. Further 

 separation of the forest land, to serve. rtts most advantageous use, 

 is considered under stream protection and recreational use.
