FORESTRY CLUBS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE 3° 
6. CUT-OVER FOREST LAND 
If there is cut-over land in your county make a trip to some of it. Look it 
over and determine the following points: 
Have any seed trees been left to provide for a future crop? 
Is the land coming back to young timber? 
Can you distinguish the young tree seedlings from the weeds and shrubs? 
(Look carefully for the smaller seedlings.) 
Is the land being protected from fire? 
Should it be? Why? 
What is the best way to make this cut-over land pay taxes and produce 
prosperity in the years to come? 
Is it better suited to farm land or timber growing? Why? 
Write a story for the local paper on the findings of the trip. 
7. INJURIOUS INSECTS, FUNGI, AND DISEASES 
Are there signs of destruction by either insects or disease in the woods or forests 
in your locality? 
Clubs’ in the white-pine regions should help to eradicate wild currant and 
gooseberry bushes which harbor the spores of the white pine blister rust. 
Make a collection of insects which do local damage. Mount, identify, and 
exhibit this collection. 
Make and exhibit a similar collection of local forest fungi or tree diseases.
