Forester's Report 
25 
TREE SURGERY. 
A greater amount of this work would have been done during the o 
past year had it not been for the forced shortage of men during the 
summer season, when this work had originally been started. 
MT. AIRY FOREST. 
Aside from the forest plantings listed in the following pages, a 
great amount of clearing work has been done. One-half of the Stevens 
property has been cleared of all but the second growth. 
The entrance to McFarlan Woods is cleared ready for planting. 
During the past summer the men on the Mt. Airy property have cared 
for the permanent plantings and nursery plantings. 
The continued drouth affected much of the spring planting; a great 
amount of the stock received no rain for two months after planting; 
though these conditions are not controlled by man, it is to be regretted 
that it should come at this time. 
Forty-five oak logs totaling 12,440 board feet were removed from 
the woods and transferred to the sawmill. 
AVON FIELD. 
During the past summer two men have been kept on this property 
working at nursery cultivation, mowing weeds and trimming trees. 
AULT PARK. 
During the summer months one man was stationed here working 
at nursery cultivation and trimming trees. 
Attached find list of forest, nursery and permanent plantings and 
the work accomplished on developed properties. 
Respectfully submitted, 
W. R. HUNGER, 
Forester.
