(From Mr. J. M. Underwood, experienced nurseryman and 

 formerly President of the State Horticultural Society.) 



Lake City, Minn., Jan. 22, igo8. 

 Gen. C. C. Andrews, 



St. Paul, Minn. 

 Dear Sir: 



I have ]ust read over the plan you recommend for reforesta- 

 tion. You certainly have put the subject in a logical and conclu- 

 sive manner, and I heartily endorse the proposed constitutional 

 amendment. There is nothing of greater importance to our State 

 and country than of promoting moisture in our climate and retain- 

 ing it, and in no way can it be done except by reforesting our cut- 

 over forests and adding to them. Commending you for your 

 efficient service in this work, I am. 



Very truly yours, 



J. M. UNDERWOOD. 



(From Hon. S. G. Comstock, ex-Member of Congress.) 



MooRHEAD, Minn., Jan. 22, 1908. 

 Hon. C. C. Andrews, 



Forestry Commissioner, 



St. Paul, Minn. 

 Dear General; 



I have read with much interest your plan of reforestation. 

 The need for some energetic action in that line is apparent to all 

 familiar with the facts. I have heard no plan so feasible and 

 practical as the one you outline. In my judgment the State will 

 do well to adopt and put in early execution your recommendations. 



Very sincerely yours, 



S. G. COMSTOCK.
