Excerpt from The New York State College of Forestry at Syracuse University: The Relation of Shellfish to Fish in Oneida Lake, New York The quotations on the opposite page state briefly the relation of fish to the use of non-agricultural, forest lands and waters, as expressed by representative foresters, and this clearly outlines the policy of this College on such matters. In addition to timber, forest lands and waters may be used to produce fish, game and other plant and animal crops, for which the region is suited, and in addition they may be used for recreation. The diversified use of such forests is a natural development which accompanies intelligent use of natural resources. The proper management of waters is a problem similar to that of the proper management of a farm, of a business, or the care of forest trees, and each must be based upon a detailed knowledge of the subject. The public has not yet taken up very seriously the relation of fish pro duction to food, to recreation, and to the general economic welfare of the community. There are conflicting interests here which can only be justly disposed of, in part, after careful, impartial investigation. It is to the solution of such State problems that the College is devoting its energies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
