Very considerable reforesting is made on mountain lands, where the State plants trees to regulate the action of the waters and stop the ravages of torrents. For that purpose $700,000 are expended every year, the largest part of which is used in the purchase of land, and the other part in dams to regulate the streams, and in plantations to settle and retain the soil. The State purchases yearly, on an average, 16,000acres. The average cost of reforesting is $20 per acre, and $18 must be added thereto for work in improving the streams, building roads, etc. Planting is preferred to sowing on calcareous or chalky soil. The administration of the forests forms part of the Department of Agriculture. It has charge not only of the direction and care of the forests of the state and of those belonging to municipal corporations and public institutions, but also the overseeing of the fishing in the rivers and creeks. At its head is a director, residing in Paris, who has under him: A central service composed of 2 conservators, 3 administering general inspectors, 12 inspectors, 7 assistant inspectors and 19 clerks. An exterior service composed of: First--Personnel, superior or of administration--32 conservators, 200 inspectors, 210 assistant inspectors, 232 general wardens. Second--Personnel, inferior or of surveillance--3,650 foremen and wardens, paid by the state; 3,700 foremen and wardens, paid by the municipal corporations and public institutions. The annual salaries paid are as follows: SUPERIOR OFFICIALS. Director $3,000 Administrators $1,800 to 2,600 Conservators 1,600 to 2,400 Inspectors 800 tor, 200 Assistant Inspectors 600 to...
