Massachusetts Forestry Talk Opens Farmers Institute in Tyngsboro
Warren H. Manning of Boston addressed the first Farmers Institute of the season in Tyngsboro on Massachusetts forestry. He traced historical land use, emphasized protecting existing woodlands, thinning rather than clear-cutting, and warned of fire losses while urging prudent management to improve future timber value and roadside tree preservation. A noon dinner preceded an afternoon debate on the modern farmer's responsibility for unprofitability.
