Bretton Woods, N. H., Sept. 24—(AP) —Recommendation that every town have its own forest, that every State acquire ten per cent of its forest area and that taxation on growing trees be adjusted were made to the New England Council tonight state foresters of six New England states. Professor R. T. Fisher of the Harvard Forest told the council that in the face of threatened loss of New England's present and potential income from forestry products the forestry interests have not sufficiently adapted their policies to market and economic conditions. He urged research within the industry to solve its problems.

Professor Fisher assailed the belief that forestry was merely the planting of trees. "For half the cost per acre of planting," he declared, "tens of thousands of acres of our cut-over wild lands can be bought and converted by improvement cutting into more valuable timber crops than the average planta ti ocrd onieevellpwru average plantation will ever produce."

A definite plan was presented by the state foresters to the council, which was gathered for its third quarterly meeting. Besides urging town forests, taxation and state ownership of ten per cent of forest areas, the foresters recommended that larger appropriations be made for the purpose of developing forest land and combatting diseases of trees, and in order that forests might be extended.

From the standpoint of land utilization is the most important problem New England has to face, the foresters declared. This, they explained, was because four-fifths of New England's original girgin forest area should be producing forest products, whereas less than half of this area is producing timber of any value.

In detailing their program the foresters said that too much emphasis could not be placed upon the question of tax adjustments. In some states, it was pointed out, the timberland owner who had just planted a crop of young trees was taxed upon the potential value of those trees each year that they are growing, although it would be ten or fifteen years before he realized upon that value.

New England cannot afford to lose its income from forestry products, worth $16,000 a year to this region, Professor Fisher asserted. He said that the industry was "showing an alarming shrinkage," but that "on the other hand, timber, raw materials, can be permanently supplied only by the practice of forestry."

The first essential in retaining this income, he said, was to keep woodworking industries successful and permanent. "This can only be done," he added, "as economic conditions change, by such comprehensive and cooperative studies within the indus-(Continued on Page 5, Col. 8)
