Most of this vust area has llttlo or.no mfnural wealth and Is now an unsightly and practically abandoned territory. Fires sweep over it year after year destroying tho younger jjrowth i i;d burning out the fertility o? tho soil, and this vast territory Is pass ing Into the condition of a desert, becoming poorer each successive year. It Is not only possible but practicable to restore the forests upon these desert wastes, which would Do producing a crop of great value to our state, and would also restore to our rivera and streams the buneficial influence of the forests. As it was oijr.e a necessity to remove trees in order to obtain ground to plant grain, and for other purposes of civilization, it appears that this necessity produced a tree destroying habit, which should ba counteracted as speedily as possible. This is the first generation in the Commonwealth ever brought face to face with the dangers and disasters of u tlmberloss country. To ohapgu tlio current of national thought from tho tree destroying to the the tree protecting policy, to add to the beauty of our mountains and valleys to ornament the grounds of our free schools and other public institutions, to add comfort to the traveler upon our public, highways, to preserve the shores and bunks of our rivers and smaller streams are object worthy of the Intelligent attention of our citizens."
