or forestry. Jack pine will grow on these areas and should it have a com-

mercial value in the future it can be grown as a sideline on the game pre-

serves and will have better fire protection that at present. Red pine will

grow on area No. 3.

Areas number 1 and two are nearly all outwash sand and gravel (Plainfield

sand, P1. sandy loam, and P1. loamy sand). In several places there are numer-

ous kettle holes, which make the country rough, but in general it is level.

Area number three is morainic sand (Vilas sand) and is hilly with two lakes.

If grouse shooting grounds are combined with forestry about one half of 
the area could be planted to Jack pine or red pine and buckwheat could be

planted in long strips to act as fire checks. Fire will not run in buckwheat

or corn fields and these are the two plants which would be relied upon for

fall and winter food.
