Some “Practical Suggestions by the Late Warren Pendergast. Warren Pendergast had given a great deal of attention and research to the subject of Minnesota forests since coming to Itasca county to take charge of the expeimental farm. His papers on the subjech were favorably considered by emiment authorities. The following from his pen con- tains some valuable suggestions: “In Minnesota, commercial lumber has advanced far enough to call at- tentiun of the people to its attendant lamentable results; yet. there is still left so great a domain of virgin forest that it offers a fleld for an intelligent system of forest management perhaps unexcelled.. A state which com- mences to conserve her forests only after the lumbermen have got through with it, may perhaps even then makea safe investment in at- tempts at re-foresting, to be realized on. On the other hand, a new state, prodigal of her recources, thinks liutle of the future. Ifa fire burus a few million feet. why, there plenty more! If the logger cuts over the line there is no one to object. And so there needs to be something to arouse action, like a Henckley fire, a few big steals, or a somewhat wanton and extensive destruction of the forests. Weare now at that stage when enough of our forests have disap- peared to create general concern, and fortunately enough remains to make intell it supervision practical as well as necessary. But even when we are impressed with the uecessity of a forest system, and when the state feels itself Justified in undei- taking its establisment the problem is by no means solved, for while we may all have a general realization that some step should be taken no- body knows just what they should be. While we may al) feel that some kind of work mustbe done nobody knows just what course would be the wisest und what expenditures would be the most judicious. If it can be. es- tablished beyond reasonable doubt that the pine forests can be made to yield a greater and more permanent revenue tothe state than they now do it is the duty of the state to em- race the opportunity of obtaining such revenue. But it is also her duty not to establish an elaborate forestry system until such returns are as- sured. ‘There are certain provisions to be made in regard to forests the wisdom of which is self-evident. Anybody knows that fires should be prevented smuch as possible. Itis clear that the lumbermen should pay for all the is pine they cut. We know vhat it would be safe to keep as large a forest reserve as possible, otherwlse by the work in to orestry our forests will be gone. Bat ime we are ready to go yesides these specitic and urgent | propositions, whose application is of mmediate necessity, there lies the sreat question of the establishment of a permanent, comprehensive, busi- ress forest policy by the state. The} ‘onstruction of sucha policy will be| 10 y matter. We have no models },0 follow. We can find no place where a forest system has been up- plied to conditions exactly similar to urs. Of course we can find in some reign countries instances of suc- cessful and profitable forest manage- hent, but here we have a wages, etc. toasystem for Minnesota must be forked out in Minnesota. Fortun- leely it is now practically assured ‘hat the Division of Forestry at Vashington will undertake in this {ate some experimental and demons- yative work in forestry which: in the yiture will become of undoubted value. This work is approached rith a hopeful confidence as to ulti- Gate results, though with it comes % “ots as to the best reans.
