The "Tree Farm" ! ! ' have heard much about conservation of our forests and tly m°re particularly, about the term in its meaning of 'Tstant renewing of our natural resources. I a neighboring county was enacted about two weeks ago a onstration of the steps to take to practice maintaining our fn "ewable natural resources. A ceremony took place in Duxbury, in Plymouth County, on h ' i9th of October, at which the Lot Phillips Company of] ILover manufacturers of boxes for 78 years, pledged to active S ntific forest conservation its 4000 acres of woodland. Sena- Sie Stone who is a strong advocate of conserving our forest ° ources by this effective metho'd, was present on the occasion, K \presented a certificate to the Phillips Company which r ienated their woodlands as a "tree farm " under scientific Management This is the first such tree farm in southeastern Massachusetts* and the tenth in the state . . . . . . These "tree ,farms" are privately-owned forest land held for tantl renewed growth. The owner agrees to cooperate with the Department of Conservation and the Agricultural Ex- tension Service in treating a specified forest area by the approved scientific method of sustained yield, which includes protecting it (torn disease and fire ravage and harvesting it according tc f Sponsors of this state tree-farm program are the Massachu- ¦Us Department of Conservation and the University of Massa- chusetts Forestry Department. Our state is one of 25 others [who are inaugurating these individual projects to call public at- tention to the importance of private woodlot owners adopting the principles of scientific forestry management. Officials from Amherst and District and County Forestry Circles were also present at the Duxbury ceremony. There are many other small , industrial timber land owners throughout New England, who, if they can be induced to do so, might well follow suit. In presenting the certificate, Senator Stone commended the Phillips Company for adopting this long-range program and , helping to conserve for future generations our valuable forests. Their action represents a sacrifice of immediate profits , for ordinarily every usable tree would be cut down for timber, without thought for the future. The "tree farm" is the result of a new point of view regard- ing our natural resources and their constantly recurring renew- ability. It is important to accustom ourselves to this thinking, that we may assimilate it as an accepted part of our local and national economy. Those who have wooded lots of sufficient size can think to a purpose, that of undertaking a tree farm.
