Excerpt from Steps of Progress in Michigan Forestry There is a growing conviction among the people who have been most thoughtful about the future of our State, that the method which has been pursued of inducing people to go on poor lands simply because they are cheap, is a mistaken one as a matter of State policy, and an injustice to immigrants. A wiser plan would be for the State to cover the thin lands with a forest growth that shall be of permanent benefit to contiguous agricultural lands, and aid in every way the farmer to a more intensive method of farming the better lands. In the course of another year the Commission will probably be able to obtain a wider array of facts and figures to establish its contention that this is the locality for a large and permanent State forestry preserve. In connection with this main idea, the Commission has had called to its attention in various ways the desirability of utilizing the same region as a game pre serve, for the purpose of perpetuating within our borders the more useful of our animals which made their home in our peninsula under the primitive conditions of our State.
