Description:Excerpt from Delaware College Agricultural Experiment Station: Report on Forest Conditions in Delaware and a Forest Policy for the State The study of forest conditions in Delaware by the United States Forest Service, resulting in this report, was brought about by Professor Hayward, Director of the Delaware Agricultural Experiment Station. Professor Hayward made application to the Forest Service November 26, 11106, for a co-operative forest study of the State, the expense of the work to be born jointly by the Service and the Station. It was agreed that the work should consist of a careful examination of existing forest conditions with the purpose of recommending practical measures for the management of the various classes of woodland, and of formulating a definite forest policy for the State. The Forest Service commenced the work the middle of March, 1907, and the field data, which form the basis of this report, were collected during the following two months by an officer of the Service. Summary of Conclusions. The conclusions and recommendations based upon this study may be summarized as follows: 1. Delaware is a State of farms, and most of the land is too valuable for agricultural purposes to be used for growing forests. However, a small woodlot is a necessary part of every well equipped farm, no matter how valuable for farming purposes is the land already in woods. 2. It is advisable in certain parts of Delaware to plant and maintain trees to serve as windbreaks and shelter-belts in localities devoid of extensive wooded areas, where the country is practically all cleared up and under cultivation. 3. The climate and soils of Delaware are uniformly well adapted to extremely rapid tree growth. 4. The market for forest products is as favorable as can be found anywhere in the United States, and is extremely conducive to care and economy in forest management.
