(110 ILCS 360/1) (from Ch. 96 1/2, par. 6001)
Sec. 1.
That the trustees of the
University of Illinois shall establish and maintain at the University a
Forestry Division in the Agricultural Experiment Station at such time
and to such extent as funds are definitely appropriated to the
University for forestry investigational purposes. When funds are thus
appropriated the experiment station shall make investigations in
forestry and allied subjects for the promotion and development of the
forestry interests of the State, with special reference to the
maintenance and improvement of existing forests and farm woodlots and to
the establishment of forest culture on lands better adapted to forestry
than to any other use. It shall instruct the people of the State by
lecture and bulletin and by the establishment of demonstration forests
in the best methods for the planting, care, and utilization of forests
and farm woodlots, acting as far as possible in cooperation with the Department of Natural Resources.
