Sixteen Year Old Scotch Pine, Axton, Adirondacks An Adirondack Forest Experiment By R. H. Campbell, Director of Forestry, Ottawa Removing Hardwoods to Encourage Conifers. Dr. Fernow's Plan of Management Well Justified. In a recent article in the Revue des Eaux et Forets on the Moral Res- ponsibihty of Foresters it was pointed out that the full results of the for- ester's work are often not apparent until after he has passed from the scene and, referring to one of the French foresters of the beginning of the last century named de Buff event, makes the following note on an idea of his for fixing the moral responsi- bility, even though a posthumous one, on the individual forester for his work:— "De Buff event attempted to fix this undetermined responsibility. He thought of inserting in one of his studies of management a table in- dicating, for each cut, the names of the foresters who had marked the trees to be left standing and at the same time mentioning the number of such markings, old and new. That is an idea worth careful consideration and if the official statement of man- agement does not give sufficient pub- licity could it not be increased by inscribing on the tract itself the names of those responsible for the system followed. A plate of enamelled iron, placed upon a corner at one angle of the cut, would be sufficient to show the following generation the names of those to whom it owes its riches or its poverty and, although too often posthumous, gratitude or cursing would have its proper ; This passage occurs to the mind in connection with a recent visit to the tract m the Adirondack Mountains in New York State which was at one time put in charge of the Forest School at Cornell University, and the plan of operations therefor laid out.
