SF»ECIAL. ANNOUNCEIVIENX 



In August, extra copies of American Fobestby containing the following 

 announcement were sent to all American Conservation subscribers: 



In accordance with the announcement in the August number of "American 

 Conservation," the "American Forestry" magazine, after August, will be sent in 

 place of "Conservation." The statement in "American Conservation" that the 

 subscribers to this magazine will receive "American Forestry" for the period of 

 their unexpired subscriptions to the former is to be made more liberal, and all 

 subscriptions with six months or less to run will receive "American Forestry" for 

 a full six months, and those whose subscriptions will not expire for six months 

 to a year will receive the magazine for a full year. The subscriptions to 

 "American Forestry" of those who are already subscribers to both magazines 

 will be extended six months or a year under the same arrangement as for those 

 who are subscribers only to "American Conservation." This arrangement will 

 be put into effect without the necessity for any correspondence on the part of 

 subscribers, the only exception being in the case of those who desire to have the 

 unexpired portion of their subscription to "American Conservation" refunded, In 

 which case, of course, their names will be dropped entirely from the list. 



In receiving "American Forestry" in place of "American Conservation," you 

 will not lose touch with the general conservation movement. For nearly twenty 

 years the American Forestry Association, through its magazine, has actively 

 supported every movement which had to do with the perpetuation and better use 

 of our natural resources, particularly in connection with our forests. Much of 

 the propaganda work has been done, and the conservation of forest lands has 

 become a fixed Federal and State policy and is being accepted by private timber- 

 land owners as fast as conditions will permit. There is still however, much to 

 be done in keeping the public in touch with the situation and directing the 

 work into the most productive channels, and "American Forestry" will occupy 

 what may be considered the new field created by the national acceptance of a 

 forestry and general conservation policy. 



The administration of the American Forestry Association is in the hands of 

 an active Board of Directors which has planned definitely for the future. The 

 policy of the magazine is directed by an Advisory Board of Editors, and as a 

 publication it is in a position to increase rapidly in interest and influence. 



We are anxious that you accept "American Forestry" on your unexpired 

 subscription to "American Conservation," and we are confident of our ability 

 to make the magazine of far-reaching value and power. Forestry is the subject 

 on which the national conservation movement was founded, and the two are 

 so closely related as to be mutually dependent. By retaining your subscription 

 to "American Forestry" you will be supporting a magazine which in turn Is the 

 most potent influence in support of the cause. 



ROBERT P. BASS, 

 President, American Forestry Association. 



The consolidation of these two magazines devoted to the furtherance of a 

 national conservation policy will enable American Forestry to broaden its scope 

 of influence and better serve the cause for which it is maintained. The American 

 Conservation Association will continue the work for which it was organized, and 

 its influence will be a most potent one in directing legislation along the most 

 productive lines and in keeping before the people certain essentials upon which 

 much of their prosperity depends. The American Forestry Association has its 

 own definite field, and the strong influences which are at work for its upbuilding, 

 it is believed, will be reflected creditably in the magazine. The old subscribers 

 and the new ones who have come to us from American Conservation can be 

 assured that the Board of Directors and the various officers of the Association 

 are sparing no time or effort in bringing the work of the Association and maga- 

 zine up to the highest point of efficiency.
