MAINE FORRSTRY DISTRICT 13 
EDUCATIONAL WORK 
It is the belief of this department that the greatest need at the 
present time in this State is the education of the five per cent of 
the population which does not use care and intelligence in its treat- 
ment of the woods. The greater portion of the citizens of Maine, 
and most sportsmen from without the State are now very careful. 
There remains that smaller per cent that always cause trouble, and 
these people the department is trying every year, and especially 
this year, to reach by putting out posters and other publicity 
matter. The posters put out this year are mostly metal signs 
tacked on trees or hung above roads. During this past season 
pamphlets have been distributed in practically all of the public 
places in the State. The Kennebec Valley Protective Association 
has helped us a great deal in this particular work with their effec- 
tive posters and other publicity material.

SUMMER COTTAGES IN THE MAINE WOODS. 
If cottagers have a proper respect for the forest and are careful of fire 
their presence is an advantage to the State. A cottage community makes good 
market for produce from nearby farms. Also summer residents hold millions 
of dollars in valuable property in Maine on which they pay an annual tax.
