Kentucky's Disgrace Editorial Attacks State Forestry Policy
The American Forestry Magazine denounces Kentucky as a disgrace for repealing all laws relating to the State Board of Forestry eight years after adopting a robust 1912 forestry law. It warns the move cripples forest fire protection and state cooperation with the federal service. The piece urges a national forest policy and stronger stewardship.

Assembly shortens forestry work in Kentucky with new dummy agency
The Assembly amended a repeal bill to create a State Forester under the Agriculture Labor and Statistics department, with a total forestry appropriation of 6000 dollars. Critics say the move abolishes the forestry board as a going concern and replaces it with a nominal agency, accusing politicians of reactionary, partisan action and predicting lasting harm to Kentucky forestry.
