RESTRICTING THE 
FORESTS. 
NATIONAL 
FOREST AND STREAM. 593 
Rocky Mountain Handicap, at Denver, Colorado 
Steps have recently been taken by the Forest 
service to restrict the National forests of all 
he Western States, and this has been accom- 
lished for practically all of the forests in Cali- 
brnia and Washington. The effort is being 
nade to reduce the average size of each forest 
i 0 about a million acres, but in all cases this may 
ot be practicable. Forests larger than a mil- 
ion acres are unwieldy and difficult to manage 
iy reason of their size. With the change of 
ize, which may mean combining two forests or 
utting a forest area in two, has come a chang- 
lg of name, also in the direction of simplicity 
nd brevity.

ine of forestry published by the American
