Exceptionally rich body of white pine forest in township 66, range 18. This tract was taken under the homestead law! Do not throw all the blame on the lumbermen.

The abuse, however, has been lessened in recent years by the wise policy of setting aside timber lands as national forests. the Annual Report of the Forestry Commissioner of Minnesota.
