  Much 
  of 
  this 
  region 
  is 
  adapted 
  to 
  the 
  growth 
  of 
  conifers. 
  Large 
  

   areas 
  of 
  contiguous 
  territory 
  are 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  northern 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  

   county 
  that 
  has 
  a 
  sandy 
  soil 
  and 
  that 
  offers 
  unsurpassed 
  oppor- 
  

   tunity 
  for 
  the 
  production 
  of 
  conifers. 
  This 
  territory 
  should 
  be 
  

   planted 
  with 
  the 
  various 
  species 
  of 
  pine 
  also 
  spruce. 
  

  

  The 
  remainder 
  of 
  the 
  county 
  contains 
  much 
  land 
  that 
  should 
  be 
  

   forested 
  though 
  occurring 
  in 
  smaller 
  parcels. 
  It 
  is 
  also 
  adapted 
  to 
  

   the 
  growth 
  of 
  conifers 
  but 
  I 
  would 
  favor 
  the 
  planting 
  of 
  Norway 
  

   spruce 
  in 
  preference 
  to 
  the 
  pines. 
  

  

  These 
  lands 
  are 
  also 
  adapted 
  to 
  the 
  production 
  of 
  deciduous 
  

   species. 
  The 
  basswood 
  and 
  maple 
  particularly 
  will 
  pay 
  to 
  propagate 
  

   and 
  favor 
  wherever 
  possible, 
  the 
  maple 
  as 
  a 
  basis 
  for 
  the 
  sugar 
  

   industry 
  and 
  the 
  basswood 
  for 
  its 
  valuable 
  timber 
  and 
  also 
  as 
  a 
  

   source 
  for 
  the 
  supply 
  of 
  honey. 
  

  

  Enough 
  examples 
  are 
  found 
  of 
  woodlots 
  that 
  have 
  been 
  protected 
  

   from 
  grazing 
  to 
  show 
  that 
  areas 
  that 
  are 
  properly 
  protected 
  after 
  

   being 
  cut 
  will 
  reproduce 
  a 
  valuable 
  crop 
  of 
  desirable 
  species. 
  A 
  

   little 
  care 
  in 
  thinning 
  on 
  the 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  owner 
  will 
  produce 
  a 
  very 
  

   valuable 
  timber 
  property. 
  

  

  I 
  believe 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  great 
  future 
  for 
  the 
  farms 
  of 
  Oneida 
  county 
  

   in 
  planting 
  these 
  denuded 
  areas 
  and 
  in 
  protecting 
  the 
  lands 
  already 
  

   forested, 
  so 
  that 
  all 
  lands 
  that 
  are 
  better 
  adapted 
  for 
  the 
  growth 
  

   of 
  timber 
  than 
  for 
  any 
  other 
  purpose, 
  may 
  have 
  a 
  permanent 
  value 
  

   and 
  return 
  an 
  income 
  commensurate 
  with 
  their 
  possibilities.
