Dear Prof. Hosiaer: 



I am sending you a copy of the forest 

 survey of Barnstable CJounty trhich you requested at the 

 meeting last sumraer at lir. Ayling»s house in Barnstable. 



The work which the committee outlined 

 and Mr, Peynoldo recommended, has not borne quite as irruch 

 fruit aa we expected, but we have accomplished one thing 

 and that is & passage of the bill to provide another for- 

 est warden in the lower n%-x towns on the Os.'^e. This 

 will carry on the work which was started in*^the first nine 

 tOT/ns below the Canal. 



">ome tine ago Mr. Collingwood and I met 

 with the county agent to discuss the possibility of reforesta- 

 tion work among the farmers on Cape Cod. The county apent 

 was willing to cooperate, but the directors did not feel in- 

 clined to accept the project until the farmers requested it. 



I have sent out a circular letter, together 

 with a return card asking for a survey of the idle land 

 afflong the farmers on the Cape, but up to date have not re- 

 ceived ajay returns, but I feel optiraistic in the matter and 

 no doubt within a year or t5?o we will see considerable r)lan+- 

 ing on Cape Cod. - * 



Yours very truly,
