FORESTRY IN MICHIGAN. 
At the annual meeting of the Michigan State Horticultural 
Society last month, Charles W. Garfield of Grand Rapids out¬ 
lined the work which the University of Michigan is doing in 
the forestry movement under the leadership of Professors Beal 
and Kedzie. Through the bulletin sent out by the college 
30,000 citizens of Michigan are being reached. Continuing, 
Mr. Garfield said in part : ‘‘ Forestry is the greatest agricul¬ 
tural movement before the people of Michigan to-day. Cli¬ 
matic changes have been brought about by the denuded areas 
where formerly there were great forests. We must bring back 
some of the conditions we have lost. The southern tiers of 
counties in Michigan, once the finest apple producing districts 
in the world, are now only mediocre. We want to prevent 
those to the north of us from hurting themselves further and 
we want to be helped down here. 
“ 'This society was the pioneer in the forestry movement and 
we shall keep at it until we see a state commission which will 
tackle the problem. Long ago Professor Kedzie suggested 
that the state should say to anyone who would set aside his 
land or a part of it for woodland ‘ we will exempt such prop¬ 
erty from taxation,’ but others are forward now and claiming 
the idea as original. In New York and New Jersey they are 
taking great interest in these matters, and Michigan should be 
in the van. We are going to strike this winter and back up 
every effort. The joint committee from the university, the 
agricultural society and other societies will meet in Lansing in 
in the January session and hope to formulate a bill which shall 
become a law. Senator Graham of Grand Rapids will push it 
strongly and others are with us.” 
Professor Van Deman says that Reagan is said to be the 
correct name for the “ Black Ben Davis” apple ; Collins is the 
correct name for the apple variously known as Collins’ Ped, 
Champion Red and Champion ; Oliver is the correct name 
for the Senator apple and Beach is the name given by the 
Arkansas Horticultural Society for the Apple of Commerce.
