Excerpt from Report of the Pennsylvania Department of Forestry, for the Years 1905 and 1906: Together With Suggestions Concerning the Present Needs and the Future Policy of the Department, and Papers Upon Subjects Connected With Pennsylvania Forestry Sir: I have the honor to present herewith my report for the Department of Forestry for the years 1905 and 1906. I have included herein a number of suggestions relating to the present needs of the Pennsylvania Forest Service and also looking toward its future welfare. I have included notices of the Federal Refractories and South Renovo leases, the new game preserves, the experimental walnut plantation in Clinton county and of the private planting by Dr. Drake at Delaware Water Gap. The work of the Department is increasing in volume. As the area of the reserves is enlarged and systematic development undertaken, it will be necessary to prepare ourselves to meet the greatly increased burden of proper administration. There are also submitted herewith the reports of State Forester George H. Wirt, who deals with present conditions on the Mont Alto division of the South Mountain reservation, and also with the State Forestry Academy at Mont Alto; reports upon the Camp Sanatorium for Poor Consumptives at Mont Alto, by Dr. Addison M. Rothrock, the resident physician in charge; four papers by Dr. J. T. Rothrock on forestal and sanatorium subjects; statement of amounts paid to townships for school and road purposes under the Act of April 5, 1905; a paper ou the "Arborescent Flora of Four Peunsyl vania Counties," by Ephraim Gearhart, A. B.; report of improve uieut work, by Lewis Staley, Forester; a statement of the contributors' fund at the Camp Sanatorium, by Dr. J. T. Rothrock, treasurer of the fund, and statements of the amount of timber cut and the loss by forest tires during the years 1904 and 1905, tabulated from iufor matiou collected by the Department. 1 beg to tender you my thanks for the interest you have taken in the work of the Department, and the ready compliance with which you always received any requests relating to the business thereof; also to the public press of the Commonwealth for the manner in which it invariably approves the work of the Department of Forestry.
