FREEMAN COMPANY, STATE PRINTERS. 1913. .R FOREWORD. Since progress in practical forestry depends much upon mutual understanding and assistance between the wardens, woodsmen, and timber owners, the aim in this pamphlet is to combine instructions to forest wardens with a brief outline of the best methods of cutting the timber of this region. The Author. Chepachet, November, 1913. MAR 28 W* PART L INSTRUCTIONS TO FOREST WARDENS. 1. The prevention of forest fires being a service of great value to the state, do not hesitate to do your full duty under the law, feel- ing assured in the discharge of your official duties of the support of all good citizens. 2. Read carefully the forest fire laws, which for convenience, are published in a booklet issued by this office. In reading the law you will observe that there are no restrictions whatever upon the setting of fires in the open air between December 1 and March 1. Between these two dates fires may be set anywhere without a permit from the warden. From March 1 to December 1 fires can be set without a permit, in plowed fields and gardens, and on other land devoid of inflammable materials, and on highways by owners of adjacent lands, etc.

FOREWORD MICHIGAN'S early history and development, as well as that of adjacent states, was influenced materially by the industry that utilized the timber resources of the state. Much of' the wealth in the forest was extracted quickly by the lumber industry, supplying work to the pioneer, in addition to capital and building material to develop farms and villages. Log marks were an essential part of that lum­ ber industry. They were the outposts of law and order in pioneering communities where social controls were often weak. Stamped on a log, they carri~d the inviolate right of ownership of property on every stream and pond in north­ ern Michigan. Michigan has harvested most of its virgin timber crop, but it will not be many years, as ~ measured in the life of a state, before logging .t:~ and milling again will be a common sight and ~ an important part of the state's economy. While ~ the log mark will never return to occupy the ~ important role it once did, it undoubtedly will ~ -c: always be called upon in various ways to iden­ ~ tify raw forest products. A permanent record of log marks and of the industry that uses them is highly desirable. Hence, Michigan State College gladly accepted sponsorship of the WPA Writers' Project for this state-wide study and herewith publishes the results.
