They con- tain 20 State game refuges and 13 auxiliary game refuges, the combined area of which is approximately 50,000 acres. Game birds and animals breed in these sanctuaries unmolested by humans and protected from predatory animals, and they provide an increasing abundance of Avild life to replen- ish the surrounding forests. Although considerably more could be written about the State Forests, perhaps I have told you sufficiently to arouse your curiosity about these vast woodland areas so that you will be impelled to learn more about them and to visit them when opportunity offers. Remember that the State Forests are the people's forests, and as such are wide open for public use. All that is asked of the visitor is that he obey the law and be careful with fire in the woods.
