12 BULLETIN 364, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
The attorney general of the State is directed to see that all deeds to the 
State of lands mentioned in this section are properly executed before the gift 
is accepted or payment of the purchase money is made. 
Sec. 4. That all moneys received from the sale of wood, timber, minerals, or 
other products from the State forests, and penalties fer trespassing thereon, 
shall be paid into the State treasury, and shall constitute a State forestry 
fund, and the moneys in said fund are hereby appropriated for purposes of 
forestry in general, under the direction of the board of directors. 
Sec. 5. That for the maintenance, use, and extension of the work under the 
board of directors, and for forest-fire protection, there is hereby appropriated 
the sum of $10,000 annually out of any moneys in the State treasury not other- 
wise appropriated, to be placed to the credit of the State forestry fund. 
Sec. 6. That the board of directors may cooperate with the Federal Forest 
Service under such terms as may seem desirable. 
Sec. 7. That all acts or parts of acts inconsistent with the provisions of this 
act are hereby repealed. 
The above law as originally drafted also contained in section 3 the 
following: 
Said State forests shall be subject to county taxes assessed on the same basis 
as are private lands, to be paid out of any moneys in the State treasury not 
otherwise appropriated. 
But this paragraph was struck out by the legislature since it is 
unconstitutional for the State to pay taxes. 
HOW THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL AID. 
The Federal Government offers aid in forestry to States along 
three different lines: (1) Demonstration work at State experiment 
stations, (2) farm woodlot management under the Smith-Lever law, 
and (3) fire protection under the Weeks law. 
State experiment stations prepared to handle the work can secure 
cooperative assistance in investigating the proper methods of forest 
management, nursery practice, tree planting, and the like. 
In connection with farm woodlot improvement the Forest Service 
is planning to get in direct touch with the farmer throughethe exten- 
sion work of the United States Department of Agriculture and the 
States. ‘his work has recently received a tremendous impetus 
through the passage of the Smith-Lever law. Under its terms a 
Federal appropriation is made each year to further agricultural ex- 
tension work in the States through the medium of the extension 
staff of the State agricultural college. To avail itself of the funds 
provided by this law a State must appropriate for this particular 
line of work an amount equal to that made available by the Federal 
Government. The law makes possible much cooperative work be- 
tween the Federal Government and State agricultural colleges 
through inspection and practical field demonstrations by agents of 
the United States Department of Agriculture. Cooperative projects
