K pp , 1 29 81 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 .
