REPORT OF THE FOREST, FISH AND GAME COMMISSION. 



The mountain slopes are covered mostly with spruce and fir, the pines and 

 broad-leaf trees occupying the lower land. Germany has 23,000,000 acres covered 

 with conifers and 12,000,000 acres with broad-leaf trees. Of the conifers 8,000,000 

 acres are spruce and fir and 15,000,000 acres pine. The broad-leaf trees are 

 mostly beech and oak. Sandy soil, not strong enough for the growth of other 

 species, is planted with pine. The following table shows the distribution of species 

 according to the quality of the soil:
