Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Digest of the Game, Fish, and Forestry Laws In the minds of those who have to do with the forestry, the fish and the game interests of this Commonwealth, those that have given these subjects careful and thoughtful study, each of them in itself seems to occupy such a place in the makeup of the individual life of so many people and are jointly so interwoven with each other and the general prosperity of our State, as to make even their prospective loss appear in the light of a calamity, a condition that if once established will be extremely hard, if not impossible to overcame, and that will bring serious, very serious results in its train. It has long since been determined that growing timber, forest shade and fruit trees were absolutely necessary to the healthful enjoyment of this life. That the products of growing timber is absolutely necessary to the success of mechanical pursuits. That upon the preservation or reproduction of our forests depends our continuous water supply, our protection from drought, as well as our defense against excessive floods. It is desired to call particular attention to two new statutes relating to forests and forestry. The first is the municipal forest law, which permits municipalities to purchase forest land for the purpose of revenue, using the returns for such municipal purposes as may be necessary; and the other is the new forest fire wardens act, completely changing the system of fire fighting in this Commonwealth. These acts will be found at pages - and - How much better it would have been for this Commonwealth had the subject of forestry, with all that word covers, been intelligently considered and acted upon fifty years ago instead of to-day. How much better it would have been, had the people of this Commonwealth and of this Nation, endorsed the idea of game and wild bird preservation and of fish protection and propagation, fifty years ago instead of at this time. It has been said that the benefit derived by a day afield with rod, or gun, by the tired, or worn out, indoor worker, is something that cannot be correctly expressed in words or figures. Physical exercise and forgetfulness of daily worry and business care, bring their reward in return of health and there is no incentive in this direction, that begins to take the place of the pursuit of game or fish.
