Excerpt from Ninth Annual Report for the Year Ending October 31st, 1913 The Commission feels that its efforts are appreciated, that the economy of forestry is apparent, that the reform of long stand ing abuses is proven a possibility, that the people are with it, and that there can be no backward step. It is worth bearing in mind that the powers of the Commis sion are chiefly constructive and advisory; that its duty is, not to execute an established policy and a fixed, routine, but to popularize a new subject and make practical application of its principles. The sole compensation of its members consists in the satisfaction that comes of worth-while service. The policy that it formulates, the measures that it devises, the interest and enthusiasm that it awakens are made effective by the State For ester and State Firewarden whose reports, published herewith, show specifically what is being done. The cardinal points of the Commission's effort are these: Forest fire control is an absolute condition precedent to the practice Of any kind of forestry. The chief effort is, therefore, in this direction. The practice of forestry by those who own the forests is pref crable to state purchase and control. Development of the forests we have through protection and care is wiser than planting more forests. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
