The crown forests of Sweden comprise more than one-quarter of the entire wooded area of the country, and are managed with scrupulous care. The increase alone is cut, so that a productive forest is to stand forever on all crown lands that are unsuitable for cultivation. More than this, the government has entered upon an extensive system of planting trees on desolate and unculti- vated areas, and these object lessons have in- duced owners of private forests, especially the larger proprietors, to manage their timber lands so that they will become permanent sources of income. Since the forests in Sweden grow slowly, it has generally been supposed that the immense qnantities exported would gradually exhaust this most important source of the nation's wealth, but from the facts stated it appears probable that the forty-seven million acres of forests in the country will continue to be a source of income for all future time. The products of the forest now comprise nearly one-half of the total exports of the country in value. A new industry is to be started at Saginaw by which the saw-dnst from the lumber mills, which has always been a burden on mill owners because of the difficulty of getting rid of it, will be utilized. The saw-dust will be mixed with resin and pressed into blocks, and, it is said, makes the best fuel ever known for a quick and hot fire.
