Prussian Forests in War War conditions have induced the Prussian forest administration to is- sue alleviating instructions to the managers of State properties. Mora- atoria for rents and wood purchases are permitted under circumstances. Brushwood may be given to the poor at one quarter its usual cost. All the oak bark and spruce bark for tanning purposes is contracted to the War Leather Association (in which the government is partner) under easy conditions. A serious deficiency exists in rosin, which has been mostly import- ed, and is especially used for manu- facture of lubricants and of writing paper. There are three possibilities of securing rosin, namely by tapping spruce as used to be done long ago, by distilling any coniferous wood, by scraping the rosin exuded on spruce when damaged by game ani- mals. Curiously enough, the latter meth- od is supposed to give at least most rapid results; while the second method is being experimented with. Instructions are issued how to scrape the rosin, which is to be 70 per cent, pure and is taken over by the "rosin accounting office" at about $ per hundred weio-ht f. o. b. ^ In experimental areas about 80 pounds per acre at a cost of $1 to $ per 100 pounds could be se- cured. In March, 1915, the administration pointed out that in order to assure sufficiency of bread grain and pota- toes for human needs the number of pigs would have to be reduced. To prevent, however, later a meat fam- ine, breeding stock and young stock should be carefully preserved, for which purpose the forest pasture should be opened up, herding the pigs wherever larger communities are mvolved, even to the extent of transporting the herds by train. The pasture is to be free of charge, to be continued till late fall or early Please note that these images are e
