AMERICAN FORESTRY'S ADVERTISERS 



The 



American Forestry Association 



is a national organization composed of public-spirited citizens who are interested 

 in the prevention of the wholesale destruction of our forests, in forest extension 

 and utilization, and in the fullest cooperation of national, state, municipal, and 

 private agencies for these purposes. The Association has no business or govern- 

 mental ties or alliances. Its work is to educate the people to know and under- 

 stand the value and necessity of forests in the Nation's life and the way to 

 maintain them to the best advantage through scientific forestry; and to bring 

 about such wise legislation as will best secure the desired results. It is the 

 people's forestry advocate and the representative of forestry before the people. 



DEPARTMENTS OF WORK 



MAGAZINE DEPARTMENT.— This department publishes American Foreatry, the 



only popular monthly magazine of national circulation in its field. It has a strong force of 

 editors and contributors and is well illustrated. The subscription price is two dollars a year. 



EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT — Series of educational and general bulletins and 

 leaflets will be issued at intervals. These will be sent to all members and will be provided 

 for distribution at a nominal cost. The first numbers of the general series are a brief 

 summary of the history and need of the project for National Forests in the southern 

 Appalachian and White mountains; the record of the vote on the Weeks bill, looking to 

 that end, in the Sixtieth Congress ; and a part of the argument for the Appalachian forests by 

 the President of the Association, Hon. Curtis Guild, Jr., in his annual address for 1910. 



LECTURE SERVICE. — It is proposed to establish a lecture service through which 

 reliable lecturers upon "forestry subjects may be obtained. This bureau will arrange with 

 able lecturers at central points who will be available for lectures, with illustrations if desired, 

 before clubs, associations, boards of trade, or general audiences. 



CORRESPONDENCE BUREAU — Through this bureau the Association will furnish 

 information on forestry when possible and provide advocates of the cause with material. 



LEGISLATION DEPARTMENT.— As it has always done, the Association will use 

 the agencies at its command to secure the passage of wise legislation in furtherance of 

 its great purpose. Its national character and the location of its main office in Washington 

 enable it to keep in close touch with national legislation and it will cooperate, when 

 practicable, with forestry workers in the several states to promote good state legislation. 

 Its first and most important object in legislation is the passage of a measure for the 

 creation of National Forests, with especial reference to the southern Appalachian and 

 White mountains. 



The development of these lines of work to their highest usefulness requires the main- 

 tenance of a considerable staff and an expensive plant. Contributions for the work, or for 

 any particular phase of it, are always welcome. The income of the Association by which 

 its general work is supported is derived from membership fees, which are as follows : 

 Annual members, one dollar yearly; contributing members, ten dollars yearly: sus- 

 taining members, twenty-five dollars yearly; life members, one hundred dollars, and 

 patron members, one thousand dollars, the two latter being exempt from further payments. 



All members are entitled to all the rights and privileges of the Association. They 

 receive all ordinary publications. Subscription to AMERICAN FORESTRY is extra. 

 The price is two dollars a year. 



The office is at 1410 H Street N. W., Washington, D. C.
