William C. Sproul, Governor, Harrisbur^, Pa. Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a report on the W(Mk of the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry for the calendar year< 1920 and 1921. The period covered by the report embraces in greater part the administration of former Commissioner Gifford Pinchot. who wa> appointed Commissioner on March 10, 1920, and resigned the office on April 13, 1922. Mr. Pinchot's co-operation and assistance were of inestimable value in preparing this record of the mo-t marked stage of accomplishment for forestry in Pennsylvania. Without the support and co-operation you have so generously given the plans and work of the Department, these accompbshnient- would not have been possible. Respectfully youns, R. Y. STUART. Commissioner of I'orestry • ■ -'> m (9) L:Hf.-i\ Ml t)fficial Document N»>. fi COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA Report of the Department of Forestry for 1920 and 1921 FUNCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT. It is the function of the Department of Forestry, under the direc- tion of the State Forest Commission,- to ^"purchase, manage, control, protect, maintain, utiHze, and develop State Forest lands,'' * *"to take such measures for the prevention, control, and extinction of forest fires as v^ill assure a reasonable protection from fire to woodlots, forests, and wild lands v^^ithin the State,*' to ***encourage and promote the development of forestry, and to obtain and publish information respecting the extent and condition of forest lands in the State." It therefore not only has charge of the 1,126,237 acres of State Forests (see map in folder), but it is also responsible for the prevention and extinction of forest fires and the encouragement of sound forest practice on the remaining 11,920,320 acres of forest land in the State. Pennsylvania's forest area comprises 45.47% of its total land area. It is greater than the combined land area of New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, and almost equal to the combined forest area of Italy, Switzerland, and Belgium. There are in Pennsylvania 13,046,557 acres of forest land and 8,720,017 inhabitants (census of 1920). This means that there are \i acres of forest land for every inhabitant in the State, ample, if made productive, fully to meet his needs. The forest area in the State may be classified as follows: 1. In farm woodlots 4,043,902 acres 2. In State Forests, 1 ,126,237 acres 3. Forest land not in farm, wood- lots or State Forests 7,876,418 acres Total, 13,046,557 acres 5,000,000 acres of the forest area are too rough and rocky for the plow. They must either grow trees or produce nothing of value. They are now producing little of value because recurrent fires have swept over them and destroyed the young timber growth as it developed. They can be made highly productive if fires are kept out. ♦Act of Feb. 25, 1901 (P. L. 11), as amended by Act of May 17. 1021 (P. L. 848). **Act of June 3, 1915 (P. L. 797). (5) UKI'OUT OF Tin: Off.

A District Forester is in charge of each of the twenty-four Dis- tricts. (See map in folder.) Subordinate to him are Foresters. Forest Rangers, and other District em])loyes. Fach District For- ester is now supplied with a well equipped office and such clerical assistance as he needs for the efficient handling of the forest work In his District. As rapidly as these officers have shown capacity to accept increased resi)onsibilities greater authority has been delegated to them, with the result that the public has been served much more expeditiously and the officers have manifested keener interest in their work. PERSONNEL. • The salaried personnel comprises (December 31. 1921 ) 201 persons. of whom 60 are Foresters. 82 Forest Rangers, and the others, clerks, >tenographers. surveyors, and draftsmen (see chart i)age 6). In addition to the salaried personnel, the Forest Protection organi- zation included. December 31. 1921, the following rmployes engaged (inly during the season of fire danger: Towermen ^^9 Inspectors 52 Fire Bosses '^l'^ Patr(^lmen . .* • 17 Supplementing the Foresters and Forest Ranger^, lowermen, in- s])ectors, fire bosses, and i)atrolmen, there are available for service in fire extinction 581 special Forest Fire Wardens and Game Protec- tors, who receive no pay from the De])artment, and 1,695 local Forest Fire Wardens, who are paid only when actually engaged in fire fight- ing- 8 REPORT OF THE Off. Doc One of the important accomplishments in the reorganization of the Department was to awaken in every person connected with it a full sense of his responsibilities to the State by arousing the in- terest of the public in the forest situation and in securing its co- operation in meeting it. PROTECTION. Forest Protection is essential to forestry, for without it no forest is safe from destruction. For the effective suppression of forest fires it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of their cause, to have faultless means of detection, to have prompt notification of their occurrence, and to have ready for immediate service well trained fire fighting crews and the best available fire fighting equip- ment. For the first time, forest fire protection has been extended over the entire State, thus doubling the area of forest land given protec- tion. A complete organization for the protection of forests from fire, pronounced the best State organization ])y the U. S. Forest Service, was installed and put into operation. Modern ecjuipment for the detection of forest fires has been secured, and all fire fighting crews liave been equipped with first-class tools. Forest fire observers are on duty day and night during the fire season in small glass enclosed cabins, placed upon towers ranging i!i height from 45 to 60 feet. From many of these towers it is pos- sible to overlook 5nO,rXX) acres of forest land. The observers have been supplied with approved appliances and with the best equipment now available for the detection of forest fires. Forest fire fighting crews are now given special training, and have been given suitable equipment to do their work. They are ready to respond immediately when a fire call is announced. Wardens are located in every unit of each Forest District. Every needed facility within the means of the Department has been provided to secure the prompt detection and extinction of forest fires, and for the inspection and elimination of forest fire hazards. The total damage that forest fires in Pennsylvania do to forest growth is small in comparison to the damage they do in preventing forest growth. So great is the latter damage, and so far-reaching is the effect upon every citizen of the State, that the best means of overcoming this curse of the forest must be used right now. For this reason the larger percentage of the appropriation to the Depart- ment for forest protection is being spent for permanent improve- ments, which have long been needed and are absolutely indispens- able to the handling of the forest fire situation.

Eleven of them are 47 feet high, and thirty-nine are 60 feet high. Ground cabins have been built for the observers at forty-three of these towers, and five tower maps have been completed. There are now on the State Forests twenty-four steel, twenty-seven wooden, and forty-four tree fire towers. The Department has also erected forty-six steel and fourteen wooden towers on private land under formal agreement with the owners. During the spring of 1921 twenty-one sterl, twenty-five wooden, and nine tree fire towers were manned: and during the fall of 1921 fifty-five steel, nine wooden, and two tree towers were manned in all sixty-six, or just about one to each county of the State. More towers were manned in the fall of 1921 than during any previous forest-fire season. Each of the steel towers is connected by telephone with the head- quarters of the District Forester, Forest Rangers, and other leading fire fighters. During 1921 the Department built 205.1 miles of tele- phone line. There had been constructed prior to that time but 481.8 miles. There wms in operation December 31. 1021, 686.9 miles of telephone line constructed by the Department.

The fires started by railroads burned over 25.5% of the total area of forest land burned in 1920, and 34% of that burned in 1921. There are about 11.000 miles of railroad rights-of-way in Pennsvl- vania, and it is significant that almost all the fires of 1920 and 1921 occurred in parts of the State in which railroads are common. Four hundred and forty-two fires, or more than 18% of all the fires re- ported during 1921, occurred in Schuylkill County; two hundred and five occurred in Luzerne County; and one hundred and twenty-seven occurred in Cambria Count v. 1^> IlEPORT OF THE off. Doe, It is especially worthy of note that during the last year the rail- roads co-operated more than ever before in using the necessary pre- ventive measures and in extinguishing the forest fires that started. During 1920 the 553 fires caused by railroads burned over 65,567.81 acres, while the 979 fires caused by railroads in 1921 burned over only 62,942.27 acres. Thus, while the railroads caused almost twice as many fires in 1921 as in 1920, the area burned in 1921 from this source was less than that burned in 1920. Again, the area of the average fire caused by the railroads in 1921 was only 64.3 acres, while that of 1920 was 118.6 acres. This marked reduction in area of the average fire shows that the railroads of Pennsylvania are alive to the situation and are assisting materially in controlling forest fires. By the burning over of 1,560 miles of safety strips, at a cost to them of $73,526.32, (nearly double the amount expended in fire extinction in any previous year by the Department), they have set a precedent in railroad forest protection co-operation unparalleled in the country. The monthly occurrence of forest fires durinij 1920 and 1921 is as follows : Number of Fires Month 1920 1921 January 38 February 54 March 230 434 April 273 1 ,074 .. , May . .> 783 353 June 54 174 Jidy 8 15 August 2 18 September 5 18 October 162 126 November 62 66 I )ecember 18 4 Total •... 1,597 2,384 The table indicates that in 1921, 1,074, or almost one-half of the fires of the entire year, occurred in April. The next highest months are March and May, with 434 and 353 fires, respectively. Notwithstanding the fact that the spring fire season of 1921 was nearly double the average length, and had the largest number of fires ever reported to the Department, the total area burned over was reduced from 240,263 acres in the spring of 1920 to 162,295 acres in 1921. The average area burned over each spring of the eight i)re- vious years during which fire records have been kept is 208,459 acres, Equally satisfactory results were shown during the spring of 1921 in keeping down the average acreage per fire to 82 acres, or less So. i\ DEPAHTMEN^r (>F FORESTUY 11 than one-half the average acreage of the 1920 spring fire season. The lowest previous record of any spring fire season was 137 acres. During the last six months of 1921 there occurred only 240 fires. The fall fire season is usuall\' lighter and less destructive than the spring fire season, but a comparatix'e study of the fall fires of pre- vious years with those of 1921 is interesting. The average size of fires that occurred in the fall months, July 1 t(j December 31, for the five years previous to the fall of 1921, is 94.6 acres, while the average acreage per fire in the fall of 1921 is 20 acres, or less than one-quarter that of previous years. Taking the record of 1021 as a whole, the a\ erage acreage per fire wass 77.8, or approximately one-half the average acreage per fire for the last five year^.

The area burned over wa< 128.2 acres, or one out of every 175 acres of ])lantation — a hic;hly creditable showing. The job of stopping forest fires is now well under wa\-. It has been jjroved that an efficient organizati^»n. with modern e(|uii)ment and public co-operation and support, can kerp them \\ithin bounds. While much has been accom])lislied, a> indicated l)y the Depart- ment's record, the task remains of l)ringing about thr elimination of forest fires as a needless economic- waste to the State and the in- dividual.

The total ex])enditure f(^r the administration, develop- ment, and improvement of the State Forests to December 31. 1921, has been $5J(S2,262.68 and for tlie purchase $2,546,407.71. or a total of $7,728,670.39 which, reduced by the amount deposited in the School Fund as receipts from State Forests ($241,793.64), gives a net ex- penditure of $7AS6,S76.7S. There has consequently been a net esti- mated eain to the Commonwealth by thi^ investment of $4,768,562.76. During 1921 a survey was made of forest land axailable for ac- quisition by the Department. Written offers of .488,353 acres at very reasonable prices were received. Tn addition, verbal offers were made covering more than 250,000 acres, making the total acreage offered for purchase approximately 750.000 acres. Unfortunately, the Department was unable to take adwantai^e of these offers because the Governor found it nece*^sar> , on account of other pressing State needs, to disapprove the appropriation of $500,000 by the 1921 LeHs- lature for the purpose. There is con.sec)uentl\- no monev available to the Department for the purchase of fore-t laurls for the period Jime 1. 1021, to Mav 31. 1923. PLANTING. State Forest. Forest tree phiutiug on the State h'ore>ts began in ISW, when 1,000 trees were set out. During the past 22 years, 34, 226,596 trees have been planted on them. The plantations cover an area of 22,468 acres and were established at an average cost (»f S9.29 per acre, or a total expenditure of 5^208,726.55. 14 HEPUiri^ OF THE Off. Do<' During 1920, 238,298 trees were planted at a cost of $2,33272. In 1921 there were 177,960 trees set out at a cost of $1,967.90. Dur- ing these years the effects of the reduced capacity at the nurseries, due to inability to get tree seed during the war, were felt. The lead- ing species planted were white ])ine, Norway spruce, Scotch pine, pitch pine, red pine. European larch, red oak, white ash, and jack pine. Experimental plantations of Japanese and European trees and of a number of im])r)rtant forest trees of the Pacific Coast were also established. Private Planting. Tn 1910 the Dc])artment of Iu)restrv l)egan supplying forest tree seedlings to the owners of private forest land. From 1910 to 1915 a total of 430,620 trees were distributed at the cost of production. The Act of Ai)ril 21. 1915, authorized the distribution of forest trees on the basis that the ap]dicant i)a\ the cost of packing and trans- portation. This co-operation of the State has so stimulated forest tree plaiUiui^^ by owners of private forest land that during the past 12 years 14.627,006 trees have been distributed. The rapid grow^th of the practice of forest tree i)lanting b\ ])ri\ate owners is shown by the fact that in 1912 onI\ 66,854 trees were jdanted, while just a decade kiter, 1921, 3,041,710 trees were set out, an increase of 4,447%. Tn 1920 the Department distri])uted 2,543,374 trees. Nurseries. To supply the trees re(|uired for planting, the Department operates 3 large and 1 small forest tree nursery. Thev cover a total of 18 acres, and have a total annual canacitv of 10,000.000 seedlinp-s and transplants. The present inventory of the nurseries (December 31. 19.?n is 16,741,788 seedlimrs and transi)1ants. of which almost 4,000.- 000 will be set out in the spring of 1922. To assist in meeting the increasing demand for tree seedlings twelve co-operative forest tree nurseries were established at State Institutions during 1921. By this means the total annual production will have reached 20,0(X),000 seedlings in 1925, thus doubling the present annual nursery capacity. The institutions furnish the land, labor, and teams. The Department supplies supervision, seed, tools, equipment, and incidental material. So far as is known, Penn.syl- vania is the only State that is now using institutional labor for the growing of forest trees for the public benefit. There are now in the State institutional nurseries 856,0m trees which will be available for distribution in 1923 and subsequently. A large quantity of seed is needed for nursery work. In spite of the poor seed year of 1921, there were collected for nurserv use at. No. 0 i>EPARi\MK\'r OF fokestj:v 1.' a cost of $894.93, 425 bushels of nuts, acorns, and cones, and 179 pound'^ of pine seeds. This represents a saving of at least 30% on the cost of this seed if purchased from commercial seed houses. The Department was unable to collect all of the forest tree seeds needed in 1921. It was necessary to purchase 1.165 pounds of seed, chiefly w^hite pine, Scotch pine, i)itch pine, Japanese black pine, jack pine, red pine, Norway spruce. Ja])anese larch, and ash. at a total cost of $3,012.61. A co-operative ])rogram in road planting was effected in 1920 betw^een the Department of Forestry and the Hiq-hway Department. It provides that the Department of Forestry shall furnish the trees w^hen they are available in the State nurseries, stake out the location of each tree along the highway, supervise the planting o|)erations, and furnish supervision for i)runing and treatment against inescts and fungous attacks. The Highway Department supplies labor, tools, trucks, and incidentals. Under the co-operati\e plan there \\ ere planted along the high- ways of the State in 1921, 5,538 trees, of which 1()5 were American elm and hard maples secured from tbe Department nurseries. The Highway Department ])urchased 16,0(T) Oriental Plane trees for the project, and of these 5,373 were plante4 during the fall of 1921 along 36 miles of concrete highway in Adams. York, and Delaware counties. The remaining 9,000 trees will be planted during the spring of 1922. ASSISTING TIMBERLAND OWNERS. The Department now gives assistance and advice to private timber- land owners in the management of their properties. Farm woodlots and tracts of timberland less than 2(0 acres in extent are examined free of charge and a report prei)ared and submitted to the owner, v/hich includes recommendations for the proper handling of the tract. Larger tracts are examined and reports thereon made at a cost to the ow^ner of the actual expenses incurred in the examination of the Departments rei)resentative. If the cutting of timber is rec- ommended, a timber estimate is made and suggestion*^ are offered for the manufacture of the forest ])roducts. The reports include also recommendations for planting when this method of reforestation must be resorted to. During 1921, 89 tracts, compn^ing 18,516 acres, were examined at a total cost of $566.44 to the Deparimeni and of 818.67 to the owners of the larger tracts. Since the adoption of this policy duly, 1920"), 131 tracts, or a total of 28,659 acres, ha\e been examined nnd 80 reports have been submitted to owners. This work has been done at a total cost of 8835.78 to the Do].nrtment aufl of 8117.35 to timber- land owners. ir. REPORT OF THE Off. Doc.

The State Forests are the people's i)roperty — an asset of j:rreat value to the State. They are wide open for proper use and enjoy- ment. Many different kinds of forest work are conducted on them. The major operations are covered by contracts and leases. The State Forest Commission has authority to sell timber on terms most advantao-eous to the State and to execute leases for the mining and removal of minerals from State Forests. During 1920 and 1921, 7 timber sale contracts and 10 mineral leases were executed. The timber sales were for chestnut only, at the following stum])age prices : v$3.00 to $4.00 per M. board feet for loos .15 each for railroad ties .60 per ]\T. for 18'' keg staves .03 to .08 each for mine jirops The rovalty received for minerals, depending upon the access- ibility and qnalitv of the product, was from 20ross sales for gas. There were in effect on December 31. 1021. 14 tind)cr sale contracts and 17 mineral leases. The riHit to im])ound water on State F\)rests has been granted to 10 municipalities. During 1920 and 1921 two of the a-reements weie amended to permit necessary improvements and additions to the municipal water supply system. During 1920 and 1921 the Department entered into 7 leases for buildin-s and offices, 31 leases for observation tower sites, and 69 leases for ri-hts of wav. These privileges were necessary for the proper management of State Forests and for the protection of all forest land in the State. There were in effect on December 31, 1921, 31 agreements for observation tower sites: 8 agreements for the use of buildings and offices; and 133 agreements for riHits of way. The Department leased to individuals during 1920 and 1921 31 buildings, 4 agricultural areas, and 14 ri-hts of wav. There were of record on December 31, 1921. leases to individuals of 7^ buildings, 4 agricultural areas, and 16 rights of way. Within the State Forests are selected recreational areas, unsur- passed fishing streams, wonderful views, and the best hunting grounds within the State. As rapidlv as funds permit the forests «« t> are being opened up with roads and trails which will make access- ible many more good camping sites and recreational areas. No finer field is offered for an education in the outdoors. The forests not only offer a wholesome environment for outdoor activity, but they contain, because of their complex makeup, an endless amount of subject matter for study and demonstration work. Approximately 80,000 people enjoyed camping privileges on the State Forests in 1921. 279 leases for camp sites were granted during 1920 and 1921 for ten-year periods, subject to renewal. There were in force on December 31, 1921, 738 leases for camp sites covering in all 480 acres. On practically all of the sites, cottages or cabins, which must, under the term of the lease, be presentable in apj)earance, have been built by the lessees. There were at least 2U,rX)0 people occupied these camp sites in 1921. About 5,0(J0 persons occupied temporarv camps, and 55,000 enjoyed general camping privileges. During 1921 there were designated for de\elopment on State Forests 18 Class "A" public camp grounds, ranging in size from 1 to 5 acres, and 47 Class "P>'' public camp grounds ranging in size from one-fourth of an acre to 30 acres.

Keeping the public well and correctly informed about forestry is one of the big jobs of the Department. One method adopted, and productive of highly gratifying results, was conferences with' rep- resentative groups on pressing forest problems. The more important conferences held were: May 4, 1920— Conference in I larrisl)iirg with representatives of Railroad Companies and timberland owners in Pennsyl- vania, at which jilans fr.r ('v.^peration in forest protection were perfected. July 23-August 6, 1920— Conference at Mont Alto of Pennsyl- vania State Forest officers, at which the forest work in the 24 Forest Districts of the State was discussed and co-ordi- nated, other questions of protection, administration, and policy decided, and plans made for the ])reparation of a Manual for Forest Officers. December 8 and 9, 102(V-State Foresters* Conference, at TTar- risburg, attended by representatives from the IT. S. Forest Service and from 17 States, at which were discussed State and National forest questions. April 13 and 14, 1021— Conference in llarri^bur^ of 67 repre- sentatives of important WOod-Usinir Industries in Penn- sylvania to survey the State's timber situation in its rela- tion to the State's timber needs. August 8 to 13, 1921— Conference at Mcni Alto cf Pennsylvania State Forest officers to review the impr^rtant work accom- plished since the meeting- of 1020. and to h^rmulate plans by which the Department work could be made more efifective. Talks and lectures were given by representatives of the Depart- ment on several hundred occasions. T^ducational work in forestry was conducted in se\ eral of the Roy Scouts' permanent camp.s. An exhibit showing forest conditions in Pennsylvania and illus- trating some of the principal activities of the Department was pre- pared. Tt was displayed at 5 county teachers' institutes. 1 farm l-roducts show, 12 county fairs, 1 road celebration. 1 flower show, 1 foresters' meeting, and 2 demonstrations were given on Fire Pre- vention Day. It was estimated that 10^^000 persons visited the ex- hibit during the last four months of 1021. 20 REP0K4' OF THE Off. Doc.

There were also distributed and placed during the year 345 guide signs, 4275 lithographed slogan cards, and 180,400 posters: 260,000 cards, 37,rU0 blotters, and 225,000 stickers, bearing forest protection appeals. During 1921, 435 newspaper articles were issued, about 70% of which were mailed to the rural press, and 30% were used by local newspaper correspondents. It has been the aim of the Department by every permissible means at its command to bring Pennsvlvania's forest situation and what should be done about it to the attention of all citizens of the State. FOREST RESEARCH. I'o meet the forest problems in Pennsvlvania adeciuatelv and well, recpiires continuous study and research. The forest crop, like the agricultural crop, is susceptible of intensive management. There must be conducted many scientific projects to increase the forester's knowledge of the tree and its qualities fc^r production and utilization. Among the special research projects undertaken in 1920 and 1921, are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 6. 7. The wood situation in Pennsylvania. Forest growth and yield studies. Forest types of Pennsylvania. The white pine blister rust situation. White pine survev of Northeastern Pennsvlvania. The sla^h disposal problem. Forest fires and huckleberry production. A study of the pulp wood industry of the State has been com- pleted. 13 mills are now operating in Pennsylvania, and consume annually about one-half million cords of wood. Four of the 13 mills import every stick of wood they use. Eight import more than 75% and all but 3 of the 13 mills import more tban 50% of the wood they consume. Only 26% of the wood ii^ed during 1920 by the 13 inills grew within tlie State, i. e., 74% of the product was imported. ')'> HEPOli^r nv THE OH. bof A beginning has been made in collecting more and better infor- mation about forest growth and yield. Sample plots have been established on the State Forests and private forest holdings from which much valuable data will be secured. The sample plots al- ready established are: Location Number of Plots In Plantation On State FoTPSts, __ On Private Forests, ...I.ll *" In cooperation with U. S.

It is needed particularly to secure more reliable estimates than are now available on the productive capacity cf Pennsylvania's timberlands. It is not sufficient to know that on a conservative estimate the 13,046,557 acres of forest land in the State are capable of making Pennsylvania self-supporting in wood. Their full productive capacity, undoubtedly in excess of Pennsylvania's need, should be more definitely determined. STATE FOREST ACADEMY. The State Forest Academy, founded in 1903, is under the control of the Department of Forestry. It has the best outdoor equipment of any forest school in America, in siiitc of the limited appropria- tions made for its conduct and maintenance. Three classes of students are enrolled, (1) scholarship, (2) Federal vocational (3) non-scholarship. Scholarships are open to residents of Pennsyl- vania over 17 years of age who pass a competitive examination held annually. In co-operation with the Federal Board for Vocational Education, ex-Service men under the jurisdiction of the Board are accepted for training in forestry. Facilities permitting, non^scholar- ship students who meet the necessary qualifications for entrance are accepted. The instruction of Federal vocational and non-scholar- ship students is without expense to the State. In order to meet the increasing requirements of the profession the curriculum of the Academy was revised, eflFective September' 1920. The change, including the adopti.m of a four-vcar course in- stead of a three-year course, was made upon the recommendation of a Committee on Forest Education appointed bv the State Forest Commission. '■ « * * » No. r, DEPAUTMKNT nl' FOUESTKV 2P> In 1921 the largest class in the history of the Academy entered the institution. There were 9 scholarship students accepted. 11 ex-Ser\-- ice men under assignment from the Federal Board for Vocational Education, and () n()n->cholarshii) students. At least 40 additional ap- plicants were turned away for lack oi accommodations. The State Forest Academy has steadily fdled its mis.^ion. The first class graduated in 1906, and to date (Deceml^er 31, 1921) 16 classes haw been graduated. 128 men ha\r received the degree in forestry. i)\ these, 53 are in the State lM)rest Service, 3 are with other State Departments, 4 are with the Federal Government, 14 are with lumber, mining, or wood-u.'^ing companies, 46 in unknown or non-forest professions and vocations, and 8 are deceased. Thus, »f the 120 living graduate-, ovcv 60'v are in work for which their training has directly fitted them, .i highly crcdiiabU' rcconi com- pared with any professional school. The growing needs of the institution require the remodeling and extension of building facilitie'^ for the accommodation of the students, and an increase in the staff of instructors. The work has been con- ducted under severe financial handicaps and with fewer instructors than the minimum set by the North Atlantic Association of Colleges for institutions of collegiate grade. It should be pointed out that in addition to the instructional work for the students, the administration of the Academv entails direct management of 22,0r)0 acres of State Forest land in the Mont Alto District and the conduct of the Dej^artment nursery at that point. The economic administration of the .\cademy is indicated by the fact that the co^t for su])sistencc, heat, light, and laundry per student in 1921 was 5^343.00. or S7.46 j^er week inv the xear of 46 weeks. There was appn^priatcd for the Academy for the biennial period 1921 to 1923, JsSO.fKX). On account of other needs, the Governor found it necessary to reduce the appropriation t.) 5^40.0rXl, an entirely inadequate sum to maintain the high standard required. The Forest Educational Committee, after close in\ estigation of the instituti(Mi's responsibilities and need<, recommended in lanuary, 1021. the following budget for the succeeding biennial pcTi(Ki : New dormitory for 60 students 5^75,0(Y) Improvement of present school building. . . . 20.000 Three Instructors' cottages, 20,000 Total building ex])ense 1 15,000 I'iennial Operation Appropriation 1 00.000 Total $215,000 -' HEH)11T (.I- THK off.

A more appropriate name would he The Pennsylvania btate Forest School. CO-OPERATION. The Department of Forestry is co-operating in every possible way to develop a fuller appreciation of the forest and to bring about better forest practice. It i.s co-operating wi.h practically all other State Departments in he advancement o! some phase of forest work: with the Game and I'lsh Departments in forest protection and the protection of game and fish; the State Highway Department in roadside tree planting and ix>ad work : the I'.ureau of Plant In.histry in a study of the white pine blister rust and other tree diseases: the Department of Health in the enforcement of sanitary measures on State Forest land- the Department of Internal .\ffairs in securing statistical and map data • the Department of Mines in the b.nndlin^r of mineral resources on ♦ \ • • «« » k • IV • No. G DEPART>rEM' OF FORESTRY 25 State Forest laud ; the inspectors of the State Water Supply Com- mission; troops of the National Guard of lY^nnsylvania and the State Police in forest protection work : and with other Departments in problems uf mutual interest. The Department has a co-operative forest protection agreement under the Federal Weeks law with the U. S. Forest Service, and it co-operates under the Act of June 4, 1915, with fire protective or- ganizations throughout the State. Under a co-operative plan with the National Council of the Boy Scouts there was organized in Pennsylvania in October, 1920, the Forest Guides, whose members comprise registered Boy Scouts who have signed a pledge to do all they can to prevent and extin- guish forest fires. There are over 14/XX) Forest Guides in Penn- sylvania (December 31. 1921). They and their officials ha\ e been of great service to the Department and the State in keeping down fires. The Department has had very effective co-operation also with the American Forestry Guides, the Ciirl Scouts, and other junior (>r- ganizations. The co-operation of the railroad companies by the construction of safety strips has alread}' been mentic^ned (pai^e 10). The tele- phone companies are co-operating b\ permitting forest fire calls to go through as emergency calls and by facilitating in every way practicable prompt communication concerning fires. The Department is also co-operating with the State of Maryland in maintaining and manning a fire obserx ation tower located south of the Mason-Dixon line, from which may be observed a large area of forest land in the South Mountain region of Pennsylvania. Space docs not permit specific mention of the many other organi- zations and individuals who have lent full support to the Depart- ment's activities to protect. de\*elop. and improve the forest land of the State. FOREST LEGISLATION. The four bills in which the l^epartment was expressly interested wxre passed without an adverse vote. (1) The Act of May 5, 1^21. ]\ ],. 418. authorizes the State Forest Commission to exchange or sell certain jx^rtions of the State Forests when ad\antageous to the vState. (2) The Act of April 21. 1921. P. L. 238. amends the Act of May 11, 1911, P. L. 271, which empowers the United States of America to acquire land in Pennsylvania for National Forests by purchase or condemnation proceedings. The amendment eliminated the proxi^^ion in the Act of "^fa^' 11, ae RKPOU'I' ()!■ THE (3) Off. Doc. (4) (h) (c) 1911 that the Commonwealth could resume complete owner- ship and control over lands purchased bv the Federal Gov- ernment under the Act. The Ac-t of May 17. 1921, P. 1.. 854, un.ends the Act of June •\ iJl^. I . I.. /97, estahlisliino the P.urcau of Forest Pro- tection : (a) It supph-es a defect in the latter Act by providing that the Chief of the Bureau of Protection shall be Chief Forest Fire Warden. It provides that the salary of the Chief of the Bureau shall constitute the entire salarv of the Chief Forest Fire ^\-a^lcn ; also that District Foresters shall by virtue of their appointment, be the District Fire Wardens and that their salaries as District Forest- ers shall be their com])ensation as District Fire Wardens. It provides that the State Forest Commission may apportion the salaries and expenses of each Dis- trict between the appropriation for Forest Protec- tion and the other items of appropriation, accord- in,? to the division of tlie duties and e.xpenses of the districts between Vnvost Protection and other administrative work. It increases the maximum per hour which may be paid to Forest 1-ire \^^^rdens from 30m >n r>roportin„ to the increase of the maximum per hour. It also increases the maximum rate per hour from -5r- t<, 40(' for those who Aoluntarilv or under com- pulsion help fijjht forest f.res. The increase was found necessary because of the ffreat advance in cost for labor. The Act of Mav- 17, 1921. P. L. 848. gives legislative approval of the organization of the Department as it now is, and makes other necessary provisions for the efficient conduct of the Department, as follows : (a) It authorizes the purchase of land to the extent of any appropriation made for that purpose and no more, thus doing away with the Act of April 15 1903. which allows the State Forest Commission to buy land to the amount of $300,000 per year, even if there were not sufficient appropriation, and might ^d) (c) \'o. Ei'.vKTAij.:.\'r oi- fouiostuv 07 prevent buying beyond that amount per xear e^-en if there were a larger appropriation. It authorizes the establishment of certain Bureaus and Offices in the Department and the appointment "t officers to administer them, so that the work of the Department may be carried on effectivelv and with facility.

The State Forests are han.iled ,)ri„,ariiy for the production of wood and other forest products. Shortly after the first land was acquired, an annual income was started from the sale of forest pro- ducts, leases of permanent camp sites, contracts, and other forest operations. The Rross receipts i,y years (see diagram pajre 49) are as follows: Year Amount Year Amount 1900 $1,227.87 ,9,1 $6,4^0.08 901 1,951.57 ,912 12.585.67 902 1,578.70 ,9,3 13,076.07 903 9,758.02 ,914 ,5.066.^ 904 ,373.94 ,915 13,483.84 1905 2,247.67 ,9,6 21.45997 1906 5,001.24 ,9,7 21,569.69 1907 3,955.89 ,9,8 34 4,^ 1908 2,473.76 19,9 345,7,, I.^ I'^f/^ ^"^^^ 30633.80 1910 9.176.0.5 ,92, 50,0^^5, '^°*^'' ' $307,339.52 The receipts for 1920 and 1921 approximate one-third of the total receipts during the 22 years (1900-1921), and also the receipts of the four previous years (1916-1919). indicating that the income from Ntate Forests is growing rapidh . Of the total receipts. $241,793.64 has been placed in a special School Fund authorize.! by an act of the T.egislature in 191 5 Since the State Forests contain com|.arativcly little mature timber the in- come to date has not been high, though the gross annual receipts •JO UEPOKT OF THE Off. Doc. have passed the $50,000 mark. In time the net annual revenue from the State Forests, even at the present acreage, will constitute a handsome income to the State in the support of its public schools. ALLEGHENY PURCHASE AREA. Following the passage of the Act of April 21, 1921. and upon ap- plication from the United States Forest Service, the State Forest Commission on July 13, 1921, approved a purchase area of 412,000 acres in Warren, Forest, McKean, and Elk counties, within which the Federal Government may purchase forest land. This area is now known as the Allegheny Purchase Area. It is the intention of the Federal Government to acquire and develop within it a National Forest as a measure of protection of the headwaters of the Allegheny River, and to afford the public the other benefits derived from well managed forest land. A local office has been established at Warren, Pa., in charge of a Forest Supervisor, who acts for the U. S. Forest Service in the examination of lands off'ered for sale and in the ad- ministratoin of acquired land. CONCLUSIONS. While what has been accomplished in forestry during 1920 and 1921 in Pennsylvania i<^ very gratifying, there remains much to be done. The product of the forest is the drvelopnicnt of years, so that if the work that has been done is to count it must be followed ])y incessant vigilance in the prevention, detection, and suppression of forest fires, and by all Pcnnsylvanians rcaHzing that forest i)rotec- tion and sound forest prnctioe arc essential to the i)rosperitv of the State. The Department of Forestry must be maintained at a high stan- dard of efficiency, with means and facilities to accomplish the results expected of it by the public. It now enjoys the confidence of the public in an unprecedented degree. A widJ-awake, capable Depart- ment of Forestry and a public o])inion aroused to the State's timber need will go a long way toward restoring Penn's Woods. Of greatest immediate importance in maintaining the standard of accomplishment necesc^ary to make Pennsylvanin self-supporting in timber are: 1. A further ai^propriatic^n of Sl,(XX),a)0 for forest protection during the biennial period June 1, 1923— May 31, 1925, to provide for additional basic requirements in permanent equipment for fire prevention, detection, and control, and for the maintenance of an efficient protection organization. 2.
