Schools of Forestry.

In Sweden the state owns and cares for over 18,000,000 acres of forest lands. Schools of forestry are maintained and the timber lands are efficiently cared for by graduates of the schools, who understand hpw to farm the lands by preventing waste and profitably manufacturing the product of the forests, carefully replanting where trees are cut down. As a result of forestry so managed all the cost of schools and caretakers is defrayed out of the product sold by the state and the net profits are four times greater than the expenditure.
