These areas show what scientific forestry is and what it aims to accomplish. Pennsylvania's program calls for the establishment and development of these show forests, not only on State-owned land, but also on privately-owned areas, in order that there may be well-located demonstration plots in all parts of the State. These demonstration plots will be established under widely varying forest conditions. They will show the results of different forest opera- tions. At some place within the State it will be possible to see a sample of every operation necessary in forestry work. The demonstration plots that have already been established have created much favorable comment, not only from people of this State, but also from foresters and people of other States and other lands. Special tours are organized each year to show the work in the State forests. These tours become increasingly interesting.

The foresters in charge of the State forests are ready at all seasons of the year to help teach tlie lesson of practical forestry.
