These boundaries are subject to change with each revision of the maps. There are more than 700 sub-compartments. PART II. MANAGEMENT OF THE PROPERTY OBJECT OF MANAGEMENT The chief interest of the Company is water, with forestry as a secondary consideration. Water companies depending upon the flow of streams are in a favorable position to practice forestry. It is necessary for them to own more or less land around their reservoirs and along the main streams. A forest cover on a watershed assists ...in keeping the water free from impurities. Much of the land, either from its topography or quality of soil, is incapa- ble of producing farm crops, and forestry affords the only means whereby it can be made productive. The remainder, although fertile enough to be of agricultural value, is, for the most part, so located with respect to streams and reservoirs that it is inadvis- able to farm on account of the danger of contaminating the water. Cultivation may be practiced provided no manure is used, but inasmuch as the fields deteriorate rapidly unless fertilized, it amounts to the same thing as forbidding cultivation.
