M. A. C. FORESTERS. Nearly 40 students arid others were present at the meeting of the M. A. C. Foresters last evening to listen to an address on the Needs of Forestry in Michigan, by Hon. E. A. Wildey, State Land Commis sioner. In timber T h e re are no in As one reason why the forests were removed so fast the speaker said that the state formerly sold its timber land for $1.25 per acre and required only one-fourth payment d o w n; this way a man could get possession of large tracts of tim ber and remove it on a very small investment. large bodies of the L o w er Peninsula but in the Upper Penin sula large tracts still exist but are much damaged by fire from time to time. Data was furnished to show the amount of timber the state had produced and w hy it should produce more. Michigan is the home of the white and N o r w ay pines, and they have a merchantable value from the time they are four feet high until they will make the finest lumber. to remove a so as Legislation tax from g r o w i ng portion of the timber would be in the nature of legislating for a class and such is difficult to enact.

T he state has in some cases paid out over three dollars for every dol lar of in stances where state lands have been advertised and sold nearly four times as much was spent by the state in advertising and other ways as the land brought when sold.
