FOREST, FISH AND GAME COMMISSIONER. 22g 



" From the preliminary examination that we have made, it would 

 appear to the Department that railroad ties and telephone poles rather 

 than cordwood should be the crop aimed at, with a probable rotation of 

 forty-five to fifty years. An owner in straitened circumstances might con- 

 sider that a revenue of $15 per acre now for a cordwood crop would be pre- 

 ferable to, say, $75 per acre twenty years hence, when ties and poles could 

 be obtained, and on the just and fair solution of this problem hinges the 

 question of success in State regulation of private lands. 



' Little has been done in this country along the lines of State regu- 

 lation, and the Commission would be glad to see New York State take the 

 lead; but the work must be gone about carefully and methodically and 

 with justice to all."
