r r r f o A small additional a ea is unde cont act, about su ﬁcient t r r f 1 1 require the balance of the app op iation made at the session o 9 5 . It is estimated that at least acres of the total area of the ' State consists of land not well suited f or anything else but the r r growing of trees . With a little mo e than ac es in State r e r o f owne ship, it b comes obvious at once that an a ea about

‘ acres still in private ownership is being i ndi ﬁerentl y cared f or and probably will not receive the development it should have in order

i ts r . to bring it up to p oducing capacity The State should , there r r r r fo e, inc ease its holdings . F om the expe ience gained as Com e r r o of r r mission r du ing a pe i d mo e than ten yea s, I am convinced that the State ultimately ought to own not less than acres r in State Fo ests, and that the holding should be extended into r r rm r r r counties where the e are none at p esent . In my fo e epo t it was suggested that at least 22 more counties should appear i n the r F o r f list as containing State Fo ests . the sake o the c ollateral f or r are a things which State Fo ests v luable, we believe their acqui si ti on i h r r at this time to be dist nct economy, and t ei g adual develop r r of ment unde State p otection would be value today, even though r that development proceed slowly . Forest a eas in State ownership r r r receive better attention than simila land in p ivate owne ship . The welfare of the State demands that as much as possible of ou r wild he r r and abandoned land b ought back to a p oductive condition, the s ooner the better . HE T E . o REPORT OF O D c .

The Code o iginally p ovided that per c nt of the net cei pts derived from State Forests should be paid into the State r r r School Fund . The Depa tment was neve able to lea n why this r limit was ﬁxed at 80 pe cent . nor why it should be limited to the r r r net proceeds f om the State Fo ests . While the e is a continuous m e r t an income fro the Stat Fo es s, at this time it cannot in y sense r r e i be rega ded as net p oce ds, because the cost of administration s at r present g eater than the income . Consequently nothing could have or i been paid into the School Fund for some time to come, unt l the r returns exceeded the expenditures . This Depa tment has always

' felt that i nasm u ch as the income from the forests cannot be used ho r r r wit ut speciﬁc app op iation by the legislature f om time to time, it is useless to attempt to accumulate a fund in the treasury for r r fo est purposes . The Depa tment might just as well depend upon direct appropri ations at each biennial session for i ts whole main

Had the units been arranged as r r was p actical expe ience would have suggested and as urged, it

m r . would have been much ore satisfacto y As it was, the necessity of watering by hand directly under the Skinner system arose sev eral times . The system could not be used f or fear of wetting some r r beds that we e not d ied ou t . The units ought to be such as woul d r r r cover about thi ty beds . Fo este Dague has the same fault to ﬁnd r with the system . Anothe year it is intended to split up the units and use them according to plans which experiment p roves very prae r tical . This plan developed f om the use of a section of about one r hund ed feet in length, made so as to be movable from on e part of r r o r r the nu se y t anothe . Posts about th ee feet high were put up at various places where it was wished to use it and the pipe moved

e . r back and forth, with a hos to it With this section , th ee ti mes as many beds were watered as with any other section of the sys m r or r te . Another yea four ﬁve shorte sections with frequent hose connections will be used . Then as small units as may be desired may r be wate ed . r of Compa ed with other methods watering, the system i s especially valuable to prevent drying ou t in the ﬁrst two weeks of the germina

The season was unfavorable f or such experimentation , because it was wet all through June, but such ﬂood a was r r ing s done in D seemed to give bette esults . Section F has e ﬂ r been laid out to facilitat ooding over a la ge part of it . — Bookkeeping The system of bookkeeping adopted at the confer r ence has been found ve y well adapted to the work . It need only be

r r - said that the technical part of this repo t, balancing books, p o rat

. was one ing expenses, etc , done in less than day, when in former r r r r on r yea s it equi ed all spa e time in two weeks the same wo k . — r Shipping Fewer trees were shipped this yea than last . The I 1 91 3 beds were very disappointing. tgs hoped that this is the last ‘ r r r time that this ol d sto y will be repeated f om this nursery . Ce tai nl y appearances would indicate it at this time . Tables 1 5 and

21 give a complete statement of shipments . r — e r r e f or O namentals . S ction L of the nu se y has b en put aside ornamental trees for the Highway Department . At present there r ou t a e ash in that section . These will be thinned and other suit h able species transplanted i n their place, retaining part of the as .

1 4 7 . e 8. average area of acres Wher practicable, subdivision lines were shifted so as to make compartment corners correspond with N traverse stations . atural boundaries for compartments were used wherever possible . The total length of the compartment lines in . cluding boundary lines is miles . The boundary lines of the 5 forest are about 0 miles . All the compartment lines will be opened as soon as convenient, especially those to be used in protection . 6 Compartment lines are cut to a width of feet . Tree tops meet quickly overhead and sprout growth is shaded out . The plan is to keep the surface of the soil bared within these lines as a help in extinguishing forest ﬁres . For the marking of compartment corners an experiment in the 60 4 4 24 e use of concrete posts inches by inches by inch s, was tried . The weight of the post is about 30 pounds and is set 1 8 inches in the e ground . Their total cost including mat rial, transportation and set ting is 30c each . It is suggested that some plan for placing the number of the com partment upon each po st should be adopted and that a 2-inch brass nail with a head an inch in diameter properly stam ped an d imbedded r h in the concrete befo e ardening would be suitable . This method of marking would at least be superior to sign boards which readily decay, are frequently broken, and must consequently be replaced . The survey of the township line between Franklin township on the e one hand and Barre , Logan, and West on the other illu strates the difﬁculty met within our mountain counties . When the town ship was established , the dividing line was supposed to be straight following the summit of Tussey mountain . Our topographic s urvey shows that to follow the summit of the mountain it was necessary e e to make thirty angles in the line. The D partm nt has accepted this as the boundary line between the townships named and all maps are so drawn . A planimetric survey of Barree forest shows the following area Huntingdon county

The ﬁrst plan intended to leave this area untouched f or i t the pres ent, but later . was run in and the whole survey will be e m completed in 1 91 6.

The magn tic de lination for this survey was found ° ’ to be 6 1 2 west and was set off on the instrument after being determined from the true meridian at Lewistown . Many di ﬂ cul ti es n i encou tered caused th s survey to go rather slowly . Much cu tting

the e e “ The survey of Haldeman Stat for st, known as the Elder ” 1 91 4 Lands, in Dauphin county , was begun in November, , but was discontinued when the heavy ice storm broke so many trees the crews could not get through the tangle of broken trees and brush . h This survey was resumed by the chief surveyor, wit W . J . Daniel , M N l of Elizabethville, as engineer, assisted by Foresters Mustin , c ea ,

Houtz and Leach, and completed this year. Considerable timber cutting by private individuals had been done e on thes lands, and after the boundary survey was completed the tract was carefully “ stumped” and the damage estimated and tabu

l st . lated . This work was completed about August 26th On June the chief surveyor, with Foresters Bodine and Mus McCo tin, and Rangers Oppel , Woodside and y, surveyed and marked the compromise lines between the lands claimed by the Department u ni at and those claimed by the Patterson heirs, in J a county . This di spute has been open for several years, and three separate surveys were made at various times in preparati on for a contest in court ; but the contestants decided at last to settle upon a compromise line

. w s ru n on the summit of Shade Mountain The line a so and marked, ze and is now the recogni d boundary between the properties . 1 1 th On October , with the assistance of Forester Meek , of Coburn , the line near the Paddy Mountain tunnel in Centre and Mi iﬂi n coun

re- ties, was run to determine the status of claims made by private persons . h 2 . e 5 d 0. e On Octob r t , assiste by Surveyor L Wetz l and Forester Lo al sock ff John A Bastian, of y , the lines of the lands o ered by Smith gall and Fessler, in Lycoming county; were run out, the lines marked and mapped and the areas calculated .

2d . November , the chief surveyor accompanied by William A

ff i . Moore, surveyor for the Department of Internal A a rs, Charles L z e u Wet el, and For ster Max M ller, of Hammersley Fork, ran various original lines in Clinton county to determine the exact location of i lines of certa n lands supposed to be vacant, and applied for by pri vate persons . A vacancy was found to exist, and , under the law , was granted to the Department by proper patent . Prior to this time Surveyor Wetzel and Forester Mi i l l er made preliminary surveys in the Tamarack region . b 22d Novem er , the Doubling Gap hotel lands having been pur s i cha ed, t was decided to make a complete survey of the lines in order to settle certain questions of title and area .

Pike county folio map , by townships . r During the yea a new and complete folio map of Pike county , by townships, was constructed and drafted . The townships are shown n r as at present recog ized , and the map includes not only eve y war rant that has been issued by the Department of Internal Affairs for

Pike county, but also the surveys made on the ground by Frank i Schoor for this Department . It is in all probabil ty the most com pl ete and correct warrantee map of Pike county in existence. The s e i McNeal ea entire ervice of For sters Must n and during the y r, e while not engaged on the work heretofor mentioned, was required

in the construction and d rafting of this map .

This is an innovation in the matter of making county maps, and t n because of i ts proved worth and usefulness, his method of co stru cti ng county maps in which there are large areas of State land

will likely be continued . The maps ma de by this Department have been of general public ' e e servi ce i n matters not directly conn cted with forestry . Th y are based upon original data taken from the Departm ent of Internal Aff airs and actual surveys on the ground made by the Forestry De m n part e t . The large and continual number of requests for certain e maps in part or as a whole, by owners of contiguous land, hunt rs, c e campers, naturalists, and others, indicate the general ac eptanc

and use of the Department maps . Complying with these requests

means special work for the Division of Surveys . Provision ought

his widow and three little children, Mary, Adelaide and Barba e o the youngest being a little over thre m nths old . The cause of this sad and much to be regretted occurrence was h hig power riﬂe shot received at the hands of Arthur Callahan ,

member of a hunting party . Immediately after his wounding ll w Jerald was removed to the hospital at Williamsport, here at ﬁ

it was believed he had a chance of recovery, but sank rapidly a a lived scarcely day following his admission .

HISTORICAL.

In 1 886 a meeting was called in the Hall of the Pennsylvania tori cal Society at Philadelphia to consider the advisability of fou

ing an Association for the promotion of Scientific Forestry . To t meeting the Pennsylvania State Forestry Association owes its orig Realizing the importance of having from the first an active and fici ent Secretary, thoroughly versed in the subject . of Forest

which was then an almost unknown science in this country, an R fort was made to secure Dr. Joseph T . othrock, then Professor e Botany at the University of Pennsylvania, as Secr tary of the ne

formed Association . It was known that he was better qualiﬁed th

anyone else in Pennsylvania to ﬁll this important position, as he i thoroughly famil ar with the condition of our forests, and had h for many years at heart the better care and management of the

After due deliberation Dr. Rothrock decided to accept the appoi

ment, although in so doing he was obliged to resign his professors

and to make financial sacrifices . 1 886 to From that day in this, first as Secretary of the Associati n later as the first Pennsylvania State Forest Commissioner, a d f many years as a member of the State Forestry Reservation Comm e n sion , he has devoted his b st energies to the Forestry cause, not o

in Pennsylvania but in the United States . He has been absolute untiring in his efforts to interest our people in the paramount nec

si t . d y of a national care of our timber resources He has insiste ,

his own forceful way, at numberless meetings and conventions of

sorts, and in the halls of the Legislature, that our continued pr peri ty is closely bound up with the proper care of our woodlands To him more than to any other man we owe the establishment the Pennsylvania State Forest Reservations and his teachi ngs a demonstrations have forwarded and supported this policy in oth N States and in the establishment of the ational Forest Reserves .

Dr. J . T . Rothrock was the first Commissioner of Forestry ofi ce 2 Pennsylvania . He held this continuously from February m 1 1 u 1 904 . o ce 90 to the first day of J ne, Upon resigning his on t a a memb l tter date, he was appointed by Governor Pennypacker h OE C of the State Forestry Reservation Commission , whic e he he

They ask his acceptance of the loving cup presented to him in their behalf by the Governor of Pennsylvani a as a symbol and token of the love and veneration in

s he f el l ow~ cou ntr men e which is held by his y for his long continu d, di i patriotic, and s nterested services to his State and country ; and they tender to him this their assurance of esteem and aff ectionate ” regard . Bi rki nbi ne Hon . John , President of the Pennsylvania Forestry As sociation, presided, and introduced the Governor of the Common wealth, Hon . John K . Tener, with the following remarks Y our Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen

c a - It is unne ess ry to explain why we meet to day . Some years ago N at a ational convention the members of the organization , while “ ’ e r parading the streets of Philadelphia , sang the refrain , VV e here ’ ” “ ’ because we re here . We may paraphrase this into, We re here be ’ ” cause he s here .

‘ I sit at the head of this table and presi de at ‘ this meeting because my colleagues on the committee felt that i t . was due to age that they sho l extend h u d t is mark of respect, that is, to age as collaborator with Dr. Rothrock, because he and I can hark back 28 years when we participated in the organization of the Pennsylvania Forestry Asso

i n . c ati o In fact, as a tribute to his good nature, I may say that for 28 we e years hav served on the same Council without a quarrel . But

I dare not reminisce, for a toastmaster is expected to let others speak . ’ i ofier Possibly as the meet ng proceeds I shall other thoughts, but will add to the explanation of my position here that I was one of R o hrock’ those privileged to enjoy hearing Dr. t s Michaux lectures many yea rs ago . r It is seldom that so many eal friends of one person come together, and this gathering is pleasant for us and i t is pleasant for him whom h we onor. We are especially gratified and honored that the chief executive of a Commonwealth of seven and one-half million people f will leave his o ficial duties to break bread with Dr. Rothrock and his friends . I take pleasure in presenting our Governor, Hon . John K.

Presentation Address by Hon . John K. Tener.

a i e Mr. Chairman, Dr. Rothrock, L d s and Gentlemen

This gathering has to me a double signiﬁcance. We are here to honor our friend, and we are here to demonstrate that we believe it i s e r b tter to give the ose to the living than the wreath to the dead . No . 26. DEPAR TMENT OF OR E T Y F S R . Y l our Exce lency, President Bi rki nbi ne , Ladies and Gentlemen I had learned in an indirect way that some token was to be pre sented to me on this occasion, but I had no idea that anything of thi s sort awaited me . It has simply an overwhelmed me, d I hardly trust

myself to attempt a response. The one thought th at is uppermost ‘ in my mind is, that those who are present are the ones who really de

serve this memento . I could not have been here tod ay but for the co -O e p ration that I have received from the friends of forestry and the contributions from all over this State ; and in accepting this splendid token of your friendship and esteem I feel that I ought

longs to us all ; and while it has been delivered to me I accept it as its custodian, to turn it over to those who succeed me as a sacred trust in memory of those who have been pioneers in forestry and con

r prospe ity must come. There are many things I would l ike to say

’ . t t in this connection I accept this oken as its cus odian . I thank you ; ul for, it and I wo d, just for a moment, if you will indulge me like , e to r ad a brief statement which I have prepared and which I think ' , may express my thoughts more directly and more clearly than I could otherwise trust myself to do .

. Conservation including forestry, has become ﬁxed as a policy of this and of many other States . The principle of taking care of what e we hav is so safe and so necessary, that no one calls it in question

- . r O , h ff to day f cou se t e details di er with the locality, and each State may recognize methods as specially adapted to its needs !

’ -da i s What concerns us to y , by what means Pennsylvania has been led to take a ﬁrst place in this widely extended movement .

It is a long story, for it dates back to the days when William Penn l h was aying t e foundations of the Commonwealth . Humphrey Mar r z o 1 shall ecogni ed its imp rtance in 785 . Governor Geary al so had t a dis inct ide s upon the subject, as had also Governor Hartranft In . the s 1 8 0 earl seventie of on . Richard J . aldeman re esenting y 0, H H , pr

Pennsylvania in our National Congress, made a most eff ecti ve ad ss dre in Washington upon the question of forestry . For the period e e of its deliv ry it was a clear statement of an urgent ne d , unsurpassed

by any American utterance before and by but few since that time .

For thirty years each Governor of the Commonwealth has been ac n tively i terested in and helped to direct public Opinion and legisla tion to the ﬁrm foundation on which our State forestry now stands .

f . . . Address O Mr . A B Farq uhar

t P enns We are met here to day to pay a tribu e to our friend, yl ’ ff vania s Grand Old Man, Dr. Rothrock, whom we all love, and to o er him a loving cup with inscription and an enclosure. But that is e merely a token of our appreciation and r spect and love . Seventy a years ago, when I was a boy, I was asked by my mother to take h w bunc of ﬂowers to an old uncle , with a message of love ; and hen “ l I gave them to him he said, When a message of ove comes with a ” bunch of ﬂowers or a big round apple, I always know it is sincere .

This token will prove to the Doctor that we are sincere . He speaks of using it for the beneﬁt of the State, but the cup is given him for himself and his seed forever ; and the enclosure is for hi s beneﬁt and

and a e . that of his wife, to be used for their comfort, recreation ple sur hi It was given with that understandi ng. I mention t s because he would always prefer to give his time , labor and money for others

. than , use it for himself ’ R othrock s I have been familiar with Dr . work for many years, but n ever had an opportunity of seeing him till long af terward . We em braced when we met, and after talking together ﬁve minutes we felt ﬂ we had been companions for a lifetime . The in uence of such a man is permanent, for it is founded on truth and sincerity and tenderness . s i He is a child of nature, and his very pre ence br ngs sunshine and the

fragrance of the woods and the ﬂowers , and the song of the birds , and

makes one happier and better. I know I have felt his inﬂuence as an

inspiration to well doing.

There is really a good deal in love, as the poet expresses it ; and I am l sti l fond of poetry, thou gh some of my friends make fun of me

. s for it I was told that I would never be a success in bu iness, that was I too romantic , but this has never seemed to interfere with it . “ As the Governor remarked , it is better to sprinkle a few ﬂowers on ” r the head of a man while living than on the g ave after he is dead .

o But as said before, we are here because we love Dr. R throck . In the words of a great poet :

“ Lov in i s i h om G od e deed l g t fr , S a k of ha i mm o a ﬁre A p r t t rt l ,

Wh ich an ls sha , by llah iv n ge re A g e , T o i om a h al l l ow s i l ft fr e rt de re . votion wa ts th mind abov De f e e , B u t Heaven itself descends i n love ;

The inscription On the Rothrock loving cup is as follows O SENTED TO DR . J SEPH TRIMBLE ROTHROCK by his friends e and . Associates, his disciples in for stry, in token of their love and admiration for and their appreciation of the great services he has rendered to the State of Pennsylvania and to the whole country by his long continued, unselﬁsh, and patriotic devotion to forestry in

i n e America, which , originally a pioneer, he has ever be n a teacher and leader. 03 . Doc.
