THE PINERY AS IT IS. THE MATURE TIMBER WASTEFULLY RE- 

 MOVED, MUCH OF IT LEFT TO FI-RE, AND THE FOREST ITSELF 

 , IS DESTROYED, ALL YOUNG GROWTH IS GONE AND FOR MANY 

 YEARS THESE VAST STRETCHES OF LAND HAVE PRODUCED 

 NOTHING, EVERY EFFORT OF NATURE BEING OFFSET BY 

 ENTIRE LACK OF PROTECTION.
